Thomas Schumann Capital LLC - Invest In Water | Thomas Schumann Capital, LLC

Nearly a third of the world is subject to water stress, a burgeoning crisis that only promises to get worse as climate change exacerbates droughts and flooding, and as population growth fuels ever-growing water demands for consumption, agriculture, and other human activities. The effects that changes in access to water will have on businesses will be nothing short of transformational to the global economy, creating winners (those that manage water well) and losers (those that mismanage water resources) -- and in turn, creating significant new investment opportunities.

Thomas Schumann Capital® is the leading solutions provider working at the intersection of water security and sustainable investment to turn water management by businesses into a financial metric. TSC® has identified two key strategies through which savvy, forward-looking investors can realize significant returns while contributing to global water sustainability: pricing water risk into financial securities, and investing in companies that demonstrate good water stewardship. TSC® is the sponsor of Water Risk Index™, the world's first benchmark index that prices financial securities according to their exposure to water risk. Water Risk Index™ offers investors the ability to calculate the previously hidden factor of water risk into their investment decisions. TSC® also sponsors Water Security Fund™, which employs a proprietary methodology to assess the financial and physical water risk of blue-chip stocks. By investing in those stocks that are good water stewards, Water Security Fund™ seeks to deliver long-term sustainable alpha whilst actuating social and environmental responsibility through advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6, "Sustainable Management of Water.”

Thomas Schumann Capital® is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the CEO Water Mandate, and supports global organizations that are committed to water security and climate risk mitigation.

NO SECURITIES OFFERING OR INVESTMENT ADVICE The Firm is not a registered investment adviser under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The material contained in this web site is intended to present a general summary of the Firm and is not soliciting any action based upon it. Further information on the Firm and our products (including fee structure) may be obtained from the Firm's Form ADV, which is available without charge upon request. The information on the Website is intended to enable investors to understand the nature of the Firm's financial advisory services. It is not intended as and does not constitute investment advice or legal or tax advice or an offer to sell any securities to any person or a solicitation of any person of any offer to purchase any securities. The information in the Website should not be construed as the Firm's endorsement, recommendation or sponsorship of any company or security. There are inherent risks in relying on, using or retrieving any information found on the Website, and the Firm urges you to make sure that you understand these risks before relying on, using or retrieving any information on the Website. You should evaluate the information made available through the Website, and you should seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, to evaluate any opinion, advice, product, service or other information. The Firm's services are designed to integrate with the services provided by its clients' other financial, legal and tax advisers, not to replace their services. The Firm advises its clients from time to time on non-investment related matters, but clients must rely on their other professional advisers for final approval and/or implementation of non-investment matters.You acknowledge that any of your requests for information are unsolicited and any information shall neither constitute nor be construed as investment advice from the Firm to you or to form an investment advisory relationship, or any other client relationship between you and the Firm or any of its affiliates or employees. The Firm strongly recommends that you seek outside advice from a qualified securities professional. The Firm does not guarantee the suitability or potential value of any particular investment or information source. The Firm may invest or otherwise hold an interest in companies or securities that may be discussed on the Website. Information on the Website is not to be construed as an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Any such offer or solicitation can only be made by means of the delivery of a Confidential Memorandum, which contains a description of the significant risks involved in such an investment. All figures are estimated and unaudited unless otherwise noted and are shown net of all expenses, management fees and estimated incentive allocations. All figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, where applicable. Actual returns may differ from the reported results due to differences in contribution dates, fee structures and new issue eligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please note the following with respect to investment funds managed by the Firm: Investments in the Funds are meant for sophisticated investors and involve a high degree of risk. Investors can lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Investment returns may be volatile. Investments in underlying funds may not be diversified. Funds of funds have substantial fees and expenses which may offset profits. Investments in the Funds are subject to significant restrictions on transfers. There is no secondary market for interests in the Funds and none is expected to develop. The underlying funds' use of leverage in the course of their trading could exacerbate losses.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT COMPARABLE Any performance data presented on the Website reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, and net figures reflect the deduction of expenses, management fees and incentive fees and allocations. The Firm believes that any performance shown on the Website was generated with an investment philosophy and methodology similar to that described in the funds' respective Confidential Offering Circulars and Private Offering Memoranda and that the Firm would expect to use in the future. Future investments, however, will be made under different economic conditions and in different securities and may be made using different investment strategies than were used during the times discussed herein. Furthermore, the performance discussed herein reflects investment of limited funds for a limited period of time and does not reflect performance in different economic or market cycles. You should not assume that any fund that the Firm advises will experience returns, if any, comparable to those described herein. Past performance does not indicate future returns. The performance results have not been compiled, reviewed or audited by an independent accountant. Results for the current year are based on the internal books and records of each fund and are subject to adjustment when that fund's financial statements for the current year are audited. The Firm believes that comparing each fund's performance to any single market index or other benchmark is or may be inappropriate. These indices and benchmarks are provided for comparative purposes, but only as examples of general market performance. Unlike these indices and benchmarks, each fund's portfolio may contain options (including covered and uncovered puts and calls) and other derivative securities, futures and other commodity interests and currencies, and may include short sales of securities, margin trading, securities of smaller capitalization companies and types of securities that are different than those reflected in these indices and benchmarks, and is not as diversified as these indices and benchmarks. Due to the differences between the composition of a fund's portfolio and these indices and benchmarks, the Firm cautions potential investors that no such index or other benchmark is directly comparable to any fund.
