Brochure Summary

Overview

4 (A) Advisory Business Descriptions Water Asset Management, LLC is the investment adviser for various investment funds created to capitalize on global investment opportunities in water, wastewater, water infrastructure and water-related industries. The Adviser firmly believes that water and its related infrastructure are at a key inflection point driven by unavoidable need for capital spending and productivity focused investment. Currently the worldwide water industry is experiencing rising demand for water while supply is being constrained by overuse, poor management, underinvestment, climate change, and pollution. These factors have led to an increasing scarcity of inexpensive, safe, and reliable water supply alternatives. The Adviser believes that such supply and quality concerns will yield significant capital investment opportunities. Presently the Adviser anticipates that hundreds of billions of dollars of capital expenditures in the United States, with similar expenditures worldwide, will be required over the next several decades to build new, and upgrade existing, water and wastewater systems and infrastructure. Furthermore, the Adviser believes that water quality treatment and monitoring requirements will prompt significant technological change. Water Asset Management, LLC believes that these factors and others are producing a period of transformation in the industry in which a limited number of water companies and a select number of water assets will prosper, offering investors the ability to realize substantial capital appreciation as well as sustainable long-term income, with relatively low levels of risk and volatility. Water Asset Management, LLC has been in business since January 2006. The principal owners are: Matthew J. Diserio President of the General Partner and a Managing Member and is chiefly responsible for the Fund’s public investment portfolio. He has been active in the securities and hedge fund management business since 1982.

Mr. Diserio holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bowdoin College. Disque D. Deane, Jr. Originated the investment strategy of the Fund and is the Chief Investment Officer of the General Partner and a Managing Member. He is primarily responsible for the private equity and water resources investments. Mr. Deane has approximately 25 years’ experience in the water industry and more than 30 years’ experience in securities investments. He has worked for, partnered with, and invested in, a few niche players in the water sector and has developed an extensive and diverse network of industry contacts as well as a unique understanding of the sector’s character, challenges, risks and opportunities. In 2001, he co- founded Western Development and
Storage, a water rights development company, which in 2002 formed Layne Water Development and Storage, a joint venture with the Layne Christensen Corporation, a Nasdaq-listed water drilling and mining concern. Mr. Deane served as President of the joint venture until December 2003, when the interest of Western Development and Storage was acquired by Layne Christensen Corporation.
