Our Mission

sciens water

Sciens is a fundamental research-driven investor that identifies pockets of opportunity in the water sector that benefit from long-term macro factors but are uncovered, under-researched and misunderstood, and consequently under-capitalized by the capital markets. Sciens makes control investments in the U.S. water infrastructure and related companies where it can generate both yield and capital appreciation through application of value-added strategies, developed through over 25 years of private equity investment experience.

In addition to generating financial returns for its investors, Sciens seeks to make investments that help to solve the big challenges facing the U.S. water industry:

Aging & Degraded Infrastructure

Resource Scarcity

Threats to the Environment & Human Health

Sustainability and Impact

Furthermore, through its investments, the Sciens Water Opportunities Fund seeks to make a positive impact on community health and the environment throughout the United States.
