The Cash Cows ETF Series

COWZ

Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF

A strategy driven exchange traded fund that aims to provide capital appreciation over time by screening the Russell 1000 for the top 100 companies based on free cash flow yield.

Cash Cows Index Strategy

  • Free cash flow is the cash remaining after a company has paid expenses, interest, taxes, and long-term investments. It can be used to buy back stock, pay dividends, or participate in mergers and acquisitions.
  • The ability to generate a high free cash flow yield indicates a company is producing more cash than it needs to run the business and can invest in growth opportunities.
  • Watch to learn more about how Pacer Cash Cows Index ETFs work.




Free Cash Flow Yield Comparison

as of 12/31/2020

1. High Quality US Equities
The strategy targets US companies with strong cash flows and healthy balance sheets.

2. Trading at a Discount
Exposure to opportunities in the market where high quality stocks are trading at a discount.


3. Long-Term Growth and Income
Companies with a high free cash flow yield have the ability to grow dividends over time, but there is no guarantee dividends will be paid.





 


 

Definitions
Free Cash Flow (FCF): A company’s cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures (expenses, interest, taxes, and long-term investments)
Enterprise Value (EV): A company’s market capitalization adjusted to eliminate any capital structure bias (i.e. by adding debt and subtracting cash or cash equivalents)
Free Cash Flow Yield: FCF/EV. Measures a company’s total free cash flow relative to its enterprise value. This is an internal statistic and does not constitute investor yield.

Pacer US Cash Cows Strategy Overview

An objective rules-based methodology that uses a quality screen to select top companies in the index universe.
All data as of December 2020 quarterly rebalance.

Top 100 large-cap companies with the highest free cash flow yield.

  • Weighted by free cash flow (highest trailing twelve month)
  • Holdings capped at 2% for each company at time of rebalance
  • Reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly

Source: FactSet
(1)The individual components of the index are weighted by their total market capitalization. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying each company’s market price by their total outstanding shares. Companies are ranked in descending order based on their market cap in dollars.
(2)Financial companies, other than real estate investment trusts (REITs), are excluded from the index universe. In addition, companies with negative free cash flow are excluded based on FactSet analyst consensus estimates using average projected FCF and earnings over the next two years.
(3)The 3-year dividend growth is a weighted average of each company’s 3-year dividends per share growth rate. The growth rate is determined by measuring the change between each company’s most recent trailing 12 month dividends per share versus their trailing 12 month dividend per share 3 years ago.
(4)Remaining 100 companies are weighted by their trailing twelve month free cash flow. Free cash flow weighting is calculated as a company’s operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. Companies are ranked in descending order based on their free cash flow in dollars.
