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.
