QBSV No data

Stated mandate

PSFF The Fund seeks capital appreciation with downside protection. It primarily uses Pacer Swan SOS ETFs, while retaining discretion to hold other Pacer ETFs.

QBSV No data

Why people hold it

  • PSFF One ticker, many reset dates. It holds Pacer Swan SOS funds whose roughly one-year investment periods begin in January, April, July and October, so you are not pinned to a single start date.paceretfs.com
  • Discretion is the product. The sub-advisor blends Conservative, Moderate and Flex sleeves and may hold other Pacer ETFs, including trend-following ones, rather than locking to one risk setting.paceretfs.com
  • Cost sits near the middle of a small buffer-on-S&P-500 group at 0.66%, with no fee waiver in play. SWAN, the group's other top scorer, runs 0.49%.
  • Live since 2020 and rated in the upper half of its buffer peer group, with trading that is reasonably active for a niche structured-outcome wrapper.

QBSV No data

Worth knowing

  • PSFF PSFF states no buffer or cap of its own. Those come from the underlying funds, and when it buys them mid-period it may not capture the full buffer or upside they advertise.paceretfs.comsec.gov
  • A buffer is a cushion, not a floor. Underlying funds absorb a first slice of losses, then take further declines one-for-one with the S&P 500 fund they reference.sec.gov
  • It is a wrapper around other Pacer funds, so their indirect costs ride along with the fund's own. Income is not the design here; payouts have not been part of the story.sec.gov
