Pacer Trendpilot International ETF (PTIN)

Overview

The Index Design Group, an affiliate of Pacer Advisors, Inc., plays a crucial role in devising a proprietary methodology that is fundamental to the composition of a specific investment fund managed by Pacer Advisors, Inc. This strategic approach is designed to guide the investment decisions of the fund, ensuring a deliberate and focused allocation of assets. Central to this methodology is the stipulation that under normal market conditions, the fund commits at least 80% of its total assets—excluding the collateral obtained through securities lending—towards investments that either directly comprise the index or possess economic characteristics that closely resemble those of the index components. This investment discipline highlights a strong alignment between the fund's asset allocation strategies and the intended market sectors or instruments represented by the Index.

Products and Services

• Component Securities Investment

  This service involves committing at least 80% of the fund's total assets towards the direct purchase of securities that constitute the index. These investments are carefully selected based on the proprietary methodology developed by the Index Design Group to ensure they embody the desired financial attributes and risk-return profile corresponding to the index’s objectives.

• Economic Characteristics-Based Investment

  Aside from direct index securities investment, the fund also allocates resources to financial instruments that, while not part of the index, offer economic characteristics substantially identical to those of the index components. This investment approach allows for diversification and exposure to similar market dynamics and opportunities inherent in the index, thereby maintaining the fund's strategic alignment with its investment goals.
