Our read on TRND

ETF.net Research

BMost index funds just sit there. TRND tracks a rulebook that shifts exposure with the trend, packaged as a fund of funds: one ticket onto Pacer's Trendpilot lineup, for 0.15% a year.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Pacer Trendpilot Fund of Funds Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Costs 0.15% a year, well under the 0.45% median for its index-wrapper peer group. Cheap for a strategy that does more than hold a static basket.paceretfs.com
  2. 02The trend calls are written into the index, not made by a manager on the fly. Same rules in calm markets and ugly ones.paceretfs.com
  3. 03One line item covers a global, multi-asset mix instead of a single slice of the market.paceretfs.com
  4. 04Live since 2019, so the rules have run through real market weather rather than a backtest.paceretfs.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01It trades lightly. Thinner volume usually means wider gaps between bid and ask, which matters most on big or hurried orders.
  2. 02Trend rules react, they don't anticipate. Signals fire after a move is underway, so choppy markets that flip direction can trigger repeated switches.paceretfs.com
  3. 03Distributions come once or twice a year. This is built as a total-return vehicle, not an income stream.
