Our read on PSFF

ETF.net Research

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.

Stated mandate

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

  1. 01At 0.10%, it comes in far under the typical S&P 500 buffer fund, where the peer-group median expense ratio is 0.79%.
  2. 02It 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.
  3. 03Stands 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

  1. 01Buffer strategies pay for downside protection with a ceiling on upside, and those terms reset with each new outcome period.
  2. 02It's a wrapper around other Pacer ETFs, so the underlying funds' expenses sit beneath the 0.10% headline figure.
  3. 03Actively managed: the sub-advisor can hold other Pacer ETFs at its discretion, so the mix inside isn't fixed.
