DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:10-29-2007

PowerShares Water Resources (AMEX:PHO) tracks the Palisades Water index, which invests in the common stocks of companies in the water industry. PHO is heavily weighted to the industrial sector (41%), with utilities (24%) and business services (21%) also important. Although PHO has international holdings such as Companhia Sanea (NYSE: SBS - News) a Brazilian utility, and Suez (NYSE:SZE - News), a $60 billion water management behemoth, many holdings are small cap water infrastructure companies.

Clean water has long been a problem for world populations. Now it is becoming a problem for businesses serving these populations as well. The combination of a global environment strained by pollution and an increasing business focus on clean water may spell opportunity for investors. One way to play the water theme is through PHO.

Any idea how much of this is domestic? Water is cheap and fragmented in the US. I want to be international.
