TRNDCPacer Trendpilot Fund of Funds ETF

WAMAAWisdomTree US Adaptive Moving Average Fund

In short

TRND The whole Trendpilot family in one ticker: instead of picking which sleeve goes on trend autopilot, TRND holds Pacer's own trend-following ETFs across US large cap, mid cap, international and bonds.

WAMA No data

Stated mandate

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

WAMA No data

Why people hold it

  • TRND Each underlying sleeve runs its own rule: 100% to its benchmark, 50/50 with 3-month T-bills, or all T-bills. The de-risking switch isn't one all-or-nothing call on the S&P 500.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • Rules, not hunches. Positions shift on 200-day moving average triggers confirmed over five business days, with no manager discretion over when to step aside.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • A fund of funds rebuilt at each quarterly rebalance from Pacer's own Trendpilot ETFs, so the trend call is spread across several markets instead of one.sec.gov
  • Live since 2019, tracking a published index methodology rather than a black box.paceretfs.com

WAMA No data

Worth knowing

  • TRND Stacking funds costs more: 0.77%, no waiver, above the category median. Owning a single sleeve directly runs less (PTLC and PTMC are 0.60% each).
  • Signals confirm before they act, so a sharp dip and fast rebound can see sleeves move to T-bills late and return to the market late.paceretfs.compaceretfs.com 2
  • Thinly traded for its category, so bid-ask spreads are a bigger slice of the cost of getting in and out than with the bigger Trendpilot sleeves.
