Our read on PFI
DMost financials ETFs own the sector by size. PFI ranks financial stocks on price strength, keeps roughly 40 of the leaders, and rebuilds the list every quarter. Same sector, different passenger list.
The fund is based on the Dorsey Wright Financials Technical Leaders Index, which is designed to identify companies demonstrating relative strength, or momentum.
Why people hold it
- Rules-based momentum: the Dorsey Wright Financials Technical Leaders Index scores stocks on intermediate and long-term price strength, then reconstitutes quarterly.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
- Weights follow momentum score, not market cap, so the largest banks don't automatically run the portfolio the way they do in a cap-weighted sector fund.indexes.nasdaqomx.comindexes.nasdaqomx.com
- Trading since 2006, a long live record for a momentum-screened sector strategy, spanning the financial crisis and everything after.
Worth knowing
- At 0.73%, the fee sits well above the financials-sector median near 0.44% and many times what XLF, VFH and FNCL charge. The screen has to earn that gap.
- Thinly traded with a modest asset base. Spreads can be wider than at the sector giants, so limit orders matter more here.
- Concentrated in roughly 40 names and reshuffled quarterly, so it can look very different from the broad sector when leadership flips.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
