The nearly five-year-old issuer grew AUM by
75%, surpassed fund milestones and hired high-level talent
Over the past year, Pacer ETFs (“Pacer”), an ETF provider that
offers strategy-driven, rules-based ETFs, grew in every facet of
its business due to its client-centric philosophy and innovative
ETF strategies. As a result of investor demand, Pacer accumulated
$2.4 billion in assets under management in 2019, ending the year
with a total AUM of $5.62 billion, a 75% percent increase from Dec.
31, 2018.
“Pacer has grown from being small and largely unknown in the ETF
industry to becoming a clear player in the four short years since
our launch in 2015,” says Sean O’Hara, president of Pacer ETFs
Distributors. “After a year of exceptional growth, we are excited
to pursue new opportunities and challenge the success we
experienced in 2019.”
Pacer’s tremendous growth comes on the coattails of seven new
ETF launches this year, six of which were included in Pacer’s
popular Trendpilot® Series and Cash Cows Index® Series:
- The Pacer Trendpilot US Bond ETF (PTBD) aims to offer
risk-mitigated direct exposure between the S&P U.S. High Yield
Corporate Bond Index and the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year
Index.
- The Pacer Trendpilot International ETF (PTIN) is an
index-based ETF that seeks to offer investors exposure to
international markets via the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Large Cap
Index in up-trending markets. It will shift into U.S. treasuries if
the index dips below its 200-day moving average.
- The Pacer Trendpilot Fund of Funds ETF (TRND) is
composed of four ETFs in Pacer’s Trendpilot Series to include index
exposure to the U.S. large-cap, U.S. mid-cap, NASDAQ-100 and
international market spaces.
- The Pacer US Cash Cows Growth ETF (BUL) follows an index
derived from the S&P 900 Pure Growth Index to include companies
exhibiting 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)
seeks to track an index derived from the FTSE Emerging Markets
Index. This ETF is 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) is composed
of five Pacer Cash Cows Index Series ETFs to include exposure to
the Russell 1000, S&P SmallCap 600, S&P 900 Pure Growth,
FTSE Developed Large-Cap and FTSE Developed ex-US Indexes.
- The Pacer American Energy Independence ETF (USAI) seeks
to offer investors exposure to the growth potential of
infrastructure development supporting domestic energy supplies.
This fund joins the product-offering lineup as Pacer’s first
acquisition of an existing ETF.
Growth has not been limited to ETF offerings. Coinciding with
Pacer’s growing product diversity, the firm added 29 total
employees in 2019 ー 14 of whom are external wholesalers, adding up
to a total of 41 external wholesalers across the country. In total,
Pacer now has 83 employees, with plans to add additional staff in
2020 to not only offer better service to investors and advisors
alike, but also support their impressive growth. On the sales
front, Pacer plans to expand its presence in the independent
financial advisor channel across the country.
“Pacer’s steady growth is upheld by the dedication and
innovation of our employees and approach to creating attractive
funds,” says Joe Thomson, founder and president of Pacer Financial.
“We owe much of our success to the pillars of support we find
through our employees, partners and investors. It’s through this
support that we continue to deliver the highest quality of service
to the investors and advisors who believe in what we do.”
