Internet Infrastructure HOLDRS ETF invest in companies that provide software and related services, which allow internet companies to better manage their Websites and improve online communications. The fund has just 9 companies in its portfolio with the top three accounting for 80% of the capitalization. A deep look into the individual prospects of the company would help us to better realize the future prospects of the fund.

Starting with Akamai Technologies, which has emerged as one of the dominant companies in the Internet infrastructure space owing to its broadband penetration in the United States and abroad. With the acquisition of Nine Systems and Netli, Akamai looks well positioned with more than 125 customers and huge opportunities to exploit in application acceleration services.

Increasing network threats and requirements of corporate compliance favor the security solutions offered by Verisign. Moreover, huge potential is seen in the electronic pedigree solutions through radio frequency identification that pharmaceuticals companies need to attach to drugs. The application software companies like BAE systems, Vignette and Openwave Systems would benefit from the enterprise IT budgets spending who look for ways to increase productivity and efficiency.
