Our read on PEXL

ETF.net Research

In short

BAmerican companies, foreign paychecks. PEXL screens the S&P 900 for the firms selling most abroad, then ranks on free cash flow margin: overseas revenue exposure bought through US-listed stocks, for 0.49% with no waiver.

Stated mandate

The fund screens the S&P 900 for 100 large- and mid-capitalization U.S. companies with substantial foreign sales and high free-cash-flow margins, seeking to participate in global growth.

Why people hold it

  • The screen is the whole thesis: take the S&P 900, keep the 200 with the highest share of sales overseas, then rank those on free cash flow margin and hold about 100.paceretfs.com
  • Market-cap weighted with a 5% cap per name and rebalanced quarterly, so one runaway exporter can only get so big before the screen trims it.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • At 0.49% with no waiver attached, the fee sits below the median for its active US equity peer group, and the number does not reset on a waiver expiry date.
  • Running since 2018 and sitting in the upper half of its US equity peer group, with cash paid out quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded and a smaller fund, so spreads and order size matter more here than in the giants of the category.
  • Broad US core peers cost less: DFAU at 0.12% and AVLC at 0.15% versus 0.49% here.
  • A portfolio built on overseas revenue moves with tariffs, trade policy and the dollar, and the screen only refreshes at each quarterly rebalance.paceretfs.com
