Our read on EAFG
DPacer's Cash Cows playbook sent overseas with a growth tilt: developed-market large and mid caps screened on free cash flow, growth, momentum and profitability. A 2024 arrival in an aisle long ruled by min-vol veterans.
The fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Pacer Developed Markets Cash Cows Growth Leaders Index. Its strategy targets developed-markets large- and mid-capitalization companies using free cash flow and growth-oriented screening.
Why people hold it
- Screens developed large and mid caps on free cash flow, then leans growth, momentum and profitability. A cash-generation lens in a corner of the market that mostly sells low volatility.paceretfs.com
- Rules-based and readable: it tracks the Pacer Developed Markets Cash Cows Growth Leaders Index, holds roughly 110 stocks, and pays quarterly inside a plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper.paceretfs.com
- Sits apart from shelf-mates like EFAV, ACWV and QLVD, which tilt toward low volatility and quality. EAFG starts from cash generation and growth instead.
Worth knowing
- Charges 0.65% a year, above what the typical developed-markets factor fund costs. The screen carries a higher toll than an index-hugging alternative.
- A small, thinly traded fund. Spreads can run wider and less predictable than in the giant developed-markets index products.
- Launched in 2024, so the track record is short: no full market cycle yet to show how a cash-flow-plus-growth screen behaves overseas.
