Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

PTINBPacer Trendpilot International ETF

WAMAAWisdomTree US Adaptive Moving Average Fund

In short

PTIN Pacer's Trendpilot rulebook, pointed overseas: a mechanical dial that shifts roughly 500 developed-market large caps toward 3-month T-bills when the 200-day trend rolls over. No manager discretion, no guesswork.

WAMA No data

Stated mandate

PTIN The fund seeks to track the total return of the Pacer Trendpilot International Index before fees and expenses. Its rules-based trend-following process alternates exposure between international equities and 3-Month U.S. T-Bills using three indicators.

WAMA No data

Why people hold it

  • PTIN Three indicators, no judgment calls: fully invested above the 200-day average, half in T-bills after five closes below it, all T-bills once that average itself turns down.paceretfs.com
  • The signal reads the developed ex-US market in local currency while the fund holds the unhedged dollar version, so currency swings alone don't flip the switch.paceretfs.com
  • Broad base under the hood: roughly 500 large caps across developed markets outside the US, the international member of Pacer's long-running Trendpilot family.paceretfs.com
  • Costs 0.65%, with no fee waiver propping that up, which sits near the median for trend-following index wrappers.

WAMA No data

Worth knowing

  • PTIN Signals act on a lag (a switch takes effect a business day or two after it triggers), so choppy markets can mean stepping out after a drop and back in after a bounce.paceretfs.com
  • Cheaper international trend-followers exist: WisdomTree's WIMA charges 0.42% against this fund's 0.65%.
  • It trades lightly next to mainstream international index funds, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, and payouts come only once or twice a year.
