Strategy-driven provider adds five new funds in an expansion of
Trendpilot and Cash Cows lines to meet the needs of investors in
turbulent markets
MALVERN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The past few months have seen dramatic price swings and volatility
throughout global stock markets. As a result, many investors are seeking
ways to preserve capital and develop diversified portfolios containing
well-run companies with successful track records. Pacer ETFs has
responded to this demand by launching five new ETFs across its Pacer
Trendpilot® ETF Series and Pacer
Cash Cows Index® ETF Series.
“Quiet days in the market are few and far between, and investors are
worried about their long-term investment horizons,” Sean O’Hara,
President of Pacer ETFs Distributors. “We’ve expanded two of our product
lines to give investors more options in these popular strategies. Our
Trendpilot series of ETFs offers investors a simple rules-based strategy
that moves to T-bills when the market is trending down, and invests in
equity when the market is trending up. Alternatively, our Cash Cows
suite selects companies based on their free cash flow yield, an
incredibly important metric that reflects a company’s chances to grow,
pay dividends or buy back stocks.”
The new ETFs include:
• The
Pacer Trendpilot International ETF (PTIN) which is an
index-based ETF that exposes investors to international markets via the
S&P Developed ex-US Large Cap Index in up-trending markets. It will
shift into US treasuries if the index dips below its 200-day moving
average.
• The
Pacer Trendpilot Fund of Funds ETF (TRND) which provides
exposure to four ETFs in Pacer’s Trendpilot Series including the US
large-cap, US mid-cap, NASDAQ-100 and international Trendpilots.
• The
Pacer US Cash Cows Growth ETF (BUL) which follows an
index derived from the S&P 900 Pure Growth Index, including companies
that exhibit strong growth characteristics. Companies are screened into
the Index based on their free cash flow yield.
• The
Pacer Emerging Markets Cash Cows 100 ETF (ECOW) which tracks an
index derived from the FTSE Emerging Markets Index. This ETF will be
composed of the top 100 companies in emerging markets with the highest
free cash flow yield.
• The
Pacer Cash Cows Fund of Funds ETF (HERD) which is composed of
five Pacer Cash Cows Index series ETFs.
“The growth of our company has been due to our thoughtful
approach to investing. We recognize the concerns of financial advisors
and investors who are worried about the current market volatility,” says
Joe Thomson, Founder and President of Pacer Financial. “We have created
several new ETFs designed to meet the needs of investors who want
products that are strategy-driven and provide risk management.”
