Investopedia explains 'Business Software & Services Industry ETF'

A software ETF will outperform when business demand for technology is robust, which is the case when the economy is in growth mode. Software ETFs generally include U.S. giants such as Microsoft and Oracle, as well as smaller companies like Salesforce.com, Adobe Systems and Intuit. Depending on the index on which the ETF is based, the fund may hold U.S. software companies only, or may include overseas companies like SAP and Check Point Software as well.
