Our read on PSFF
AOne ticker that buys Pacer's own Swan SOS buffer funds instead of just one of them, at a 0.10% expense ratio in a corner of the market where 0.79% is the going rate.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation with downside protection. It primarily uses Pacer Swan SOS ETFs, while retaining discretion to hold other Pacer ETFs.
Why people hold it
- At 0.10%, it comes in far under the typical S&P 500 buffer fund, where the peer-group median expense ratio is 0.79%.
- It holds a spread of Pacer's dated Swan SOS buffer ETFs rather than a single one, so your exposure isn't pinned to one outcome-period start date.
- Stands among the strongest implementations in the S&P 500 buffer group we track, with the cost line doing much of the heavy lifting.
Worth knowing
- Buffer strategies pay for downside protection with a ceiling on upside, and those terms reset with each new outcome period.
- It's a wrapper around other Pacer ETFs, so the underlying funds' expenses sit beneath the 0.10% headline figure.
- Actively managed: the sub-advisor can hold other Pacer ETFs at its discretion, so the mix inside isn't fixed.
