Our read on QFHD
DPlenty of funds chase the S&P 500's fattest dividends. QFHD adds a gate: the payout has to sit on above-average free cash flow. Pacer's cash-flow discipline, pointed at roughly 100 large-cap yielders.
The fund uses a rules-based screen within the S&P 500 universe to select companies combining high trailing dividend yield with above-average free-cash-flow quality.
Why people hold it
- Yield with a receipt check. It ranks the S&P 500 on trailing dividend yield, then keeps the names showing above-average free-cash-flow quality.paceretfs.com
- Large-cap only. Roughly 100 holdings, every one pulled from the S&P 500, so the income comes from established index members rather than obscure high-yielders.
- Rules-based and advertised: profitability and quality are the stated screens, so you know what the portfolio is selecting for instead of guessing at a manager's mood.paceretfs.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.49% a year, it costs meaningfully more than broad factor rivals like MGV (0.05%) and SIZE (0.15%). The screen has to justify the gap.
- A 2026 launch with a small asset base and light trading. That combination usually shows up as wider bid-ask spreads, and there is no long record to study yet.
- Distributions come on an annual or semiannual schedule, so cash arrives in fewer, chunkier drops than a quarterly or monthly payer.
