ONOFAGlobal X Adaptive U.S. Risk Management ETF

PTNQBPacer Trendpilot 100 ETF

In short

ONOF The ticker says it out loud: ONOF is an on/off switch. Four technical indicators decide whether it owns a broad basket of U.S. stocks or sits in short-term Treasuries. Rules, not hunches.

PTNQ The Nasdaq-100 with an automatic ejector seat: PTNQ holds the index while it sits above its 200-day average, then shifts half or all of the money into 3-month T-bills when the trend breaks. Rules decide, not a manager's gut.

Stated mandate

ONOF ONOF seeks to track the Adaptive Wealth Strategies U.S. Risk Management Index before fees and expenses. Its four technical indicators shift the Fund between U.S. equities and defensive short-term Treasuries.

PTNQ The fund seeks to track the total return of the Pacer NASDAQ-100 Trendpilot Index before fees and expenses. Its rules-based trend-following strategy changes exposure among the NASDAQ-100 Index and 3-Month U.S. Treasury bills using three indicators.

Why people hold it

  • ONOF 0.39% a year for a systematic tactical strategy, a fraction of what the typical fund in its tactical-allocation group charges.globalxetfs.com
  • The switch is mechanical. Four technical indicators on the underlying index move it between stocks and Treasuries, so the rulebook is public before you own it.globalxetfs.com
  • The defensive leg is boring on purpose: short-term U.S. Treasuries, not options overlays or shorting.globalxetfs.com
  • Risk-on means roughly 500 U.S. stocks, so the equity exposure is broad-market rather than a concentrated stock-picking bet.globalxetfs.com
  • PTNQ Three states, all rules-based: all Nasdaq-100, 50/50 with 3-month T-bills, or all T-bills. Each switch needs five straight closes on the wrong side of the 200-day average.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • No discretion, no gut calls. Pacer publishes the Trendpilot rules and the current position for the series, so you can see what moves the exposure and where it sits.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • Live since 2015, so the rulebook has run through real market stress rather than a backtest, and it has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund along the way.
  • At 0.65%, the fee sits right at the median for active US equity funds, so the signal machinery costs no premium over the typical active peer.

Worth knowing

  • ONOF Trend rules can whipsaw. In choppy markets the signals may step out after a drop and step back in after a bounce, and the fund's path can diverge sharply from the S&P 500.globalxetfs.com
  • It trades lightly compared with big index funds, so bid-ask spreads tend to be wider.
  • Launched in 2021, so its live record covers a short stretch of market history rather than multiple full cycles.
  • PTNQ That 0.65% is still several times what plain core index funds charge (DFAU 0.12%, AVLC 0.15%). The rulebook is the thing you are paying for.
  • The 200-day signal lags by design. A sharp V-shaped rebound can catch it in T-bills, and it cannot go from all-T-bills back to 50/50 without first hitting the equity trigger.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • It trades lighter than the largest Nasdaq-100 trackers, so spreads can run wider; limit orders are the usual fix. Payouts arrive annually or semiannually, not quarterly.
