Pacer Funds

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

It is hard to believe that we find ourselves at the year’s end once more. As we reflect on 2023, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of appreciation for your confidence and commitment to Pacer. Amid discussions of potential increases in fed rates, concerns about a looming recession, and the persistent drag of inflation, many investors found themselves grappling with uncertainty. Pacer (ETFs/Financial) has shown resilience and adaptability when navigating these challenging market conditions. We have been able to grow our assets under management substantially from $20 Billion to $30 Billion, in just 12 short months.

 

Yet again, our Cash Cows Series has been the leader of the pack this year. Our large cap fund, COWZ is just shy of $16 Billion, while our small cap fund, CALF is quickly rising, currently standing at $4 Billion. CALF has shown success through screening the S&P SmallCap 600 for high-quality companies which are trading at attractive valuations whether in a broad or narrow market. The why now for international has been prominent with ICOW and GCOW offering access to high-income potential and cheap valuations with over $1.5 Billion combined. Last year we added two growth funds to the series, COWG and CAFG; which follow free cash flow margin rather than free cash flow yield. We believe free cash flow margin proves to be a better predictor of earnings growth than excess returns.

 

We look forward to your continued partnership and eagerly await what the new year has to offer.

 

Best regards,

 

Joe M. Thomson, Chairman, Pacer Funds Trust

 

Market Environment Overview

 

2023 began positively, witnessing the S&P 500’s most robust performance since 2019, with a notable 16.89% ascent by June. The tech sector, led by the Nasdaq, surged impressively by 39.35%, driven by renewed interest in artificial intelligence.

 

During this period, inflation significantly improved, decreasing from 6.4% in January to a welcome 3% by July, marking relief compared to the peak of 8.5% in July 2022. Despite this positive trajectory, the Federal Reserve considered additional interest rate hikes to achieve its 2% inflation target.

 

In July, the S&P 500 entered a bull market, gaining 20%, while interest rates increased by a quarter-point to 5.25% - 5.5%. The job market thrived with a historic low unemployment rate of 3.4%, and women’s workforce participation reached a record 77.8%. August saw a temporary market pause after a strong summer rally, with indices fluctuating and positive performances in commodities like gold, sugar, and cotton. However, October brought challenges, with stocks declining for the third consecutive month: Dow Jones fell 1.3%, S&P 500 slipped 2.1%, and Nasdaq dropped 2.04%.

 

Globally, Emerging Markets started the year strongly but experienced a recent decline, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index down by 1.43%. In contrast, the MSCI EAFE Index demonstrated a positive performance, up by 2.94% year-to-date as of October 31, 2023.

 

The housing market faced headwinds as mortgage rates surged, surpassing 7% for the 15-year Mortgage Rate for the first time since 2000, and nearing 8% for the 30-year Mortgage Rate. Consequently, housing prices declined, with the Median Sales Price of Existing Homes falling below $430,000 from the beginning-of-year figure of $480,000.

 

Inflation remained stable between September and October, with Core Inflation experiencing a slight decrease. Notably, oil prices sank in October, contributing to a 36-cent reduction in the average price of regular gas to $3.60 per gallon. Presently, inflation stands at 3.2%.

 

In the realm of fixed income, the yield curve displayed signs of normalcy in October, with double-digit increases in yields on treasuries. Both the 20-year and 30-year crossed the 5% mark for the first time since July 2007, concluding the month at 5.21% and 5.04%, respectively. On the international stage, Italy’s Long Term Bond Interest Rate was surpassed by the US 10-year, and Japan’s 10 Year Government Bond Interest Rate approached 1% in October.

 

Sector-wise, Communication Services distinguished itself with a robust 36.64% year-to-date return. Information Technology emerged as a driving force, experiencing a substantial 33.67% year-to-date rally, propelled by the new AI push. Consumer Discretionary exhibited commendable return of 20.04% year-to-date, indicative of sustained consumer confidence. Conversely, Energy faced headwinds, witnessing a decline of -3.02% year-to-date, attributed to factors such as an economic slowdown in China, a push for electric vehicles, and oversupply by oil-producing countries, notably the United States. Real Estate experienced a downturn, with a decrease of -10.68% year-to-date, possibly influenced by rising interest rates and changing housing market conditions.

The “Magnificent Seven” tech giants that spearheaded the 2023 stock market rally experienced divergent fortunes in October. Composing of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla, these stocks constitute approximately 29% of the S&P 500. They contributed nearly 10.67% to the total performance of the S&P 500 Index year to date as of October 2023.

 

In October, Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) thrived with 4.7% and 7.1% gains from strong cloud growth. Conversely, Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) fell 5% due to disappointing cloud results, Nvidia (NVDA) dropped 6% on AI chip export concerns, Tesla (TSLA) plunged nearly 20% on weak profits, Meta Platforms (META) gave cautious guidance, and Apple (AAPL) slipped 0.3% post an 8% September drop.

 

Amid market fluctuations, long-term investors are advised to stay disciplined, stick to their plans, and focus on goals, as market sentiment can change swiftly. A sensible long-term investment strategy coupled with discipline remains key to success.

Pacer Metaurus US Large Cap Dividend Multiplier 300 ETF

 

The Pacer Metaurus US Large Cap Dividend Multiplier 300 ETF employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Metaurus US Large Cap Dividend Multiplier Index - Series 300 (the “Index”). The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed by Metaurus Advisors LLC (“Metaurus”), the Fund’s sub-adviser and the Fund’s index provider. All or a portion of the methodologies and algorithms used to calculate the Index are covered by one or more granted or pending U.S. patents owned by Metaurus.

 

The Index, as designed, has two components: (i) an S&P 500 Index component (the “S&P 500 Component”) and (ii) a dividend component (the “Dividend Component”) consisting of long positions in annual futures contracts that provide exposure to ordinary dividends paid on the common stocks of companies included in the S&P 500 (“S&P Dividend Futures”). The S&P 500 Index consists of approximately 500 leading U.S.-listed companies representing approximately 80% of the U.S. equity market capitalization. The Dividend Component is designed to give the Fund exposure to approximately 300% of the ordinary dividends the Fund would otherwise have expected to receive from its investment in the S&P 500 Component. The Dividend Component consists of annual futures contracts whose value represents the market’s expectation of the amount of ordinary dividends to be paid by S&P 500 companies during the term of the futures contract. As of October 31, 2023, the S&P 500 Component comprised approximately 94% of the Index.

 

S&P Dividend Futures seek to allow investors in these instruments to obtain exposure to the actual dividend value that will be paid by the S&P 500 constituent companies over a period of time. The amount of such futures contracts will generally result in exposure to such dividends that is significantly greater than the amount of dividends that the Fund would normally receive from its direct investment in S&P 500 constituent companies (i.e., approximately 300% of such dividends that the Fund would normally have received). S&P Dividend Futures provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified dividend value of the S&P 500 at a specified future time and at a specified price. S&P Dividend Futures are standardized contracts traded on a recognized exchange. The Fund’s investment in S&P Dividend Futures will generally include the three most current annual S&P Dividend Futures contracts (e.g., in April 2022, the Fund would invest in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 contracts. The Index is typically rebalanced each December, at the end of the trading day on which the current year’s S&P Dividend Futures expire. At each rebalancing date, the current year’s annual S&P Dividend Futures will be replaced by the then closest maturing contract in three years. On each Index rebalancing date, the composition of the Index is expected to change.

Pacer Metaurus US Large Cap Dividend Multiplier 400 ETF

 

The Pacer Metaurus US Large Cap Dividend Multiplier 400 ETF employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Metaurus US Large Cap Dividend Multiplier Index - Series 400 (the “Index”). The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed by Metaurus Advisors LLC (“Metaurus”), the Fund’s sub-adviser and the Fund’s index provider. All or a portion of the methodologies and algorithms used to calculate the Index are covered by one or more granted or pending U.S. patents owned by Metaurus

 

The Index, as designed, has two components: (i) an S&P 500 Index component (the “S&P 500 Component”) and (ii) a dividend component (the “Dividend Component”) consisting of long positions in annual futures contracts that provide exposure to ordinary dividends paid on the common stocks of companies included in the S&P 500 (“S&P Dividend Futures”). The S&P 500 Index consists of approximately 500 leading U.S.-listed companies representing approximately 80% of the U.S. equity market capitalization. The Dividend Component is designed to give the Fund exposure to approximately 400% of the ordinary dividends the Fund would otherwise have expected to receive from its investment in the S&P 500 Component. The Dividend Component consists of annual futures contracts whose value represents the market’s expectation of the amount of ordinary dividends to be paid by S&P 500 companies during the term of the futures contract. As of October 31, 2023, the S&P 500 Component comprised approximately 88% of the Index.

 

S&P Dividend Futures seek to allow investors in these instruments to obtain exposure to the actual dividend value that will be paid by the S&P 500 constituent companies over a period of time. The amount of such futures contracts will generally result in exposure to such dividends that is significantly greater than the amount of dividends that the Fund would normally receive from its direct investment in S&P 500 constituent companies (i.e., approximately 400% of such dividends that the Fund would normally have received). S&P Dividend Futures

provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified dividend value of the S&P 500 at a specified future time and at a specified price. S&P Dividend Futures are standardized contracts traded on a recognized exchange. The Fund’s investment in S&P Dividend Futures will generally include the three most current annual S&P Dividend Futures contracts (e.g., in April 2022, the Fund would invest in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 contracts. The Index is typically rebalanced each December, at the end of the trading day on which the current year’s S&P Dividend Futures expire. At each rebalancing date, the current year’s annual S&P Dividend Futures will be replaced by the then closest maturing contract in three years. On each Index rebalancing date, the composition of the Index is expected to change.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
(Unaudited)

 

Growth of $10,000

 

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on December 12, 2017, and is not intended to imply any future performance. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The chart assumes reinvestment of capital gains and dividends.

 

The American Energy Independence Total Return (the “Index”) uses a proprietary, rules-based methodology to measure the performance of a portfolio of U.S. and Canadian exchange-listed equity securities of companies that generate a majority of their cash flow from certain qualifying “midstream” energy infrastructure activities. The companies in the Index are expected to benefit from regulatory policies favoring and industry trends toward American energy independence (i.e., a reduced or eliminated need for the United States to import fuels, such as coal, crude oil, or natural gas). Midstream energy infrastructure refers to the processing, storage, transportation, and distribution of crude oil, natural gas, refined products, and their related products, as well as the transmission or storage of renewable energy. The following activity segments are considered qualifying midstream energy infrastructure activities: gathering & processing, compression, fractionation, logistics, midstream services, pipeline transportation, storage and terminaling of oil, gas, natural gas liquids, and refined products, as well as operating liquid natural gas facilities. The following activity segments are not qualifying activities: refining, shipping, exploration, production, retail distribution, or oil services. The Index may include small-, mid-, and large-capitalization companies.

 

The S&P 500 Index consists of approximately 500 leading U.S.-listed companies.

Accordingly, the performance information shown in the chart and table above for periods prior to December 16, 2019 is that of the Predecessor USAI Fund’s Shares for the Fund.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
For the Period Ended October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. You may pay brokerage commissions on your purchase and sale of Fund shares, which are not reflected in the following examples. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual Ending Account Value” shown is derived from a Fund’s actual return and the “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” show the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column under the heading untitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period”.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, called “Creation Units,” which generally consist of 25,000 shares except USAI which generally consist of 50,000 shares, TRPL which generally consists of 25,000 shares, QDPL which consists of 30,000 shares, along with ODDS and BULD which generally consist of 20,000 shares. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased directly from or redeemed directly to a Fund by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Pacer Financial, Inc. (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The Funds currently offer one class of Shares, which have no front end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. Each Fund charges $300 for the

standard fixed creation fee, payable to the Custodian except ODDS and BULD which charges $750. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In regards to USAI, a variable fee, payable to the Fund, may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. In regards to BULD, ODDS, PSFF, PSCX, PSMD, PSFD, PSCW, PSMR, PSFM, PSCJ, PSMJ, PSFJ, PSCQ, PSMO, PSFO, TRPL and QDPL a variable fee, payable to a Fund, of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial cash purchases of Creation Units. The variable charge is primarily designed to cover additional costs (e.g., brokerage, taxes) involved with buying the securities with cash. For orders comprised entirely of cash, a variable fee of 0.01% of the value of the order will be charged by a Fund. For orders partially comprised of cash in lieu of certain Deposit Securities, a variable fee of 0.01% of the value of such cash in lieu of Deposit Securities will be charged by PSCX, PSMD, PSFD, PSCW, PSMR, PSFM, PSCJ, PSMJ, PSFJ, PSCQ, PSMO and PSFO. A Fund may determine to not charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders (e.g., for creation orders that facilitate changes to the Fund’s portfolio in a more tax efficient manner than could be achieved without such order). Investors who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services. Investors are responsible for the fixed costs of transferring the Fund Securities from the Fund to their account or on their order. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are displayed in the Capital Shares Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges to such Fund.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidelines of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

 

Securities, including master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, except for securities listed on Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). If, on a particular day, there is no such reported sale, then the most recent quoted bid price will be used. For securities traded on Nasdaq, the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) will be used. If a Fund holds foreign shares of a security for which there is no reported volume, and there is an actively trading local version of the security, the last quoted sale price of the local security shall be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate.

 

Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies, which are priced as equity securities described above.

 

Fixed-income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from independent pricing services in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The independent pricing services may employ methodologies that utilize market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker-dealer supplied valuations, or matrix pricing. Short-term securities that have maturities of less than 60 days, at the time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.

 

Options on securities that are listed on an exchange shall be valued at the sale price on such exchange (or any other exchange on which such options are listed) having the trade closest to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on any of the applicable options exchanges on such day, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price on any of such exchanges on such day closest to the close of the NYSE on such day. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value.

 

Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s spot rate, and the twenty, sixty, ninety, and one-hundred eighty day forward rates provided by an independent source.

 

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded.

 

Units of Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio are not traded on an exchange and are valued at the investment company’s NAV per share as provided by its administrator.

If no quotation is available from either a pricing service, or one or more brokers or there is reason to question the reliability or accuracy of a quotation supplied, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith, by the Valuation Designee pursuant to procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuations methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

 

Level 1

– Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2

– Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

 

Level 3

– Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of October 31, 2023:

OPTIONS CONTRACTS

 

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly known as the “strike price”). PSCX, PSMD, PSFD, PSCW, PSMR, PSFM, PSCJ, PSMJ, PSFJ, PSCQ, PSMO and PSFO portfolios include several types of FLEX Options, including both purchased and written put and call options (as further described below). The FLEX Options are all European style options, which means that they are exercisable at the strike price only on the FLEX Option expiration date. FLEX Options are customized option contracts available through national securities exchanges that are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”), a market clearinghouse. FLEX Options provide investors with the ability to customize terms of an option, including exercise prices, exercise styles (European style versus American style options which are exercisable any time prior to the expiration date) and expiration dates, while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of the over-the-counter option positions.

 

Each FLEX Option contract entitles the holder thereof (i.e., the purchaser of the FLEX Option) the option to purchase (for the call options) or sell (for the put options) the cash value of the reference asset as of the close of the market on the FLEX Option expiration date at the strike price. The Fund intends to be structured so that any amount owed by the Fund on the written FLEX Options will be covered by payouts at expiration from the purchased FLEX Options. As a result, the FLEX Options will be fully covered, and no additional collateral will be necessary during the life of the Fund. The Fund receives premiums in exchange for the written FLEX Options and pays premiums in exchange for the purchased FLEX Options. The OCC and securities exchange that the FLEX Options are listed on do not charge ongoing fees to writers or purchasers of the FLEX Options during their life for continuing to hold the option contracts. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to sell an asset (or deliver the cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) at a certain defined price. Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) at a certain defined price.

 

When the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds are recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities. When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds are recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds. The Funds, as writers of an option, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

The OCC guarantees performance by each of the counterparties to FLEX Options, becoming the “buyer for every seller and the seller for every buyer,” protecting clearing members and options traders from counterparty risk. Subject to determination by the Securities Committee of the OCC, adjustments may be made to the FLEX Options for certain events (collectively, “Corporate Actions”) specified in the OCC’s by-laws and rules: certain stock dividends or distributions, stock splits, reverse stock splits, rights offerings, distributions, reorganizations, recapitalizations, or reclassifications with respect to an underlying security, or a merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of the issuer of the underlying security. According to the OCC’s by-laws, the nature and extent of any such adjustment is to be determined by the OCC’s Securities Committee, in light of the circumstances known to it at the time such determination is made, based on its judgment as to what is appropriate for the protection of investors and the public interest, taking into account such factors as fairness to holders and writers (or purchasers and sellers) of the affected options, the maintenance of a fair and orderly market in the affected options, consistency of interpretation and practice, efficiency of exercise settlement procedures, and the coordination with other clearing agencies of the clearance and settlement of transactions in the underlying interest.

B.

Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the result of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

C.

Federal Income Taxes. The Funds have complied and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the fiscal year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Management has analyzed each of the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2020-2022) for the applicable funds, or expected to be taken in each of the Fund’s 2023 tax returns. During the period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

D.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are computed on the basis of highest amortized cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

 

Distributions received from a Funds’ investments in REITs and MLPs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or return of capital. The proper characterization of such distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. The actual character of distributions to each Fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of such investments, a portion of the distributions received by each Fund’s shareholders may represent a return of capital.

E.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for USAI is declared and paid on a monthly basis, distributions to shareholders from net investment income for BULD are declared and paid on a semi-annual basis, distributions to shareholders from net investment income for ODDS, TRPL and QDPL are declared and paid on a quarterly basis, and distributions to shareholders from net investment income for PSCX, PSMD, PSFD, PSFF, PSCW, PSMR, PSFM, PSCJ, PSMJ, PSFJ, PSCQ, PSMO and PSFO are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions for all Funds from net realized gains on securities, if any, normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

F.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

G.

Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE are closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to each Fund’s NAV per share.

 

H.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

 

I.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held with a financial institution. Cash and cash equivalents of the Funds may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each account holder. The counter party is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counter party credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counter parties which are believed to be creditworthy and there has been no history of loss.

 

J.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2023, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

During the fiscal period ended October 31, 2023, the Fund realized the following in net capital gains/(losses) resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from net realized losses to paid-in capital.

The Distributor acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser. The Funds did not pay any fees or commissions to the Distributor during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2023.

 

Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser and Distributor.

 

NOTE 4 – SERVICE AND CUSTODY AGREEMENTS

 

The Funds have entered into Service Agreements with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”) doing business as U.S. Global Fund Services and a Custody Agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services. Under these agreements, Fund Services and the Custodian provide certain transfer agency, administrative, accounting and custody services. The Custodian acts as securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Funds.

 

NOTE 5 – SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Funds may lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. Due to timing issues of when a security is recalled from loan, the financial statements may differ in presentation. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreements to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

 

As of October 31, 2023, USAI had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Fund bears the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2023, USAI had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in securities as listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Income earned from these investments is allocated to the Fund based on the Fund’s portion of total cash collateral received. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS

 

The Funds may enter into futures contracts to hedge various investments for risk management as well as speculative purposes. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. Secondary margin limits are required to be maintained while futures are held, as defined by each contract.

 

During the period a futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking- to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the fair value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin receivables or payables represent the difference between the change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the open contracts and the cash deposits made on the margin accounts. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from the closing transaction and the Funds’ cost of entering into a contract. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

NOTE 10 – TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED SECURITIES

 

PSFF seeks capital appreciation with downside protection. The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of other ETFs also managed by the Fund’s Adviser, that seek exposure to U.S. equity securities, while limiting downside risk (the “Underlying ETFs”). Certain Underlying ETFs may also be sub-advised by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser. Underlying ETFs generally invest in equity securities or options on equity securities (including other ETFs) to obtain their long exposure to the U.S. equity market. Additionally, the Underlying ETFs may invest in cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, or high yield corporate bonds or utilize options on equity securities (including other ETFs) to hedge their exposure to U.S. equities. The Fund may also invest directly in equity securities, options on equity securities (including other ETFs) or indices, cash, or cash equivalents. While the Fund is not limited in the types of strategies the Underlying ETFs may utilize, the Fund is expected to primarily utilize “trend-following strategy” and “structured outcome strategy” styles of Underlying ETFs.

The difference between book and tax-basis cost is attributable to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), partnerships, passive foreign investment companies and wash sales. Under tax law, certain capital and foreign currency losses realized after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of a Fund’s next taxable year. At October 31, 2023, the Funds, on a tax basis, did not defer any post-October.

NOTE 13 – RISKS

 

On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and the markets. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. The price and liquidity of investments may fluctuate widely as a result of the conflict and related events. How long such conflict and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted, nor its effect on the Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Continued)

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 5 – REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

 

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has adopted a liquidity risk management program to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program is tailored to reflect its particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk.

 

The Investment Adviser to the Trust has adopted and implemented its own written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) tailored specifically to assess and manage the liquidity risk of the funds it advises.

 

On September 20, 2023, the Trustees of Pacer Funds Trust reviewed and considered a written report prepared by the program administrator of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”), which addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation. In considering the report, the Trustees noted that the Program Administrator has determined that certain funds within the Pacer Funds Trust are deemed “In-Kind” in accordance with Rule 22e-4. They then reviewed the changes to the Program that were implemented during the past year with the Program Administrator, and reviewed all of the material features of the Program to ensure that they understand how the Program is designed to assess and manage the risk that the Funds within the Trust could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Funds without significant dilution of remaining investors in the Funds. Following this review and discussion, the Trustees determined that they believe the disclosures in the report, taken as a whole, provide the information necessary for the Trustees to effectively assess the Program and its implementation, and that they are comfortable with the report’s conclusion that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, and that the Program has operated as intended during the past year.

 

NOTE 6 - BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR THE FUNDS

 

USAI, GCOW, COWZ, PTEU and PWS

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Pacer Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees thereof who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), held a meeting on September 20, 2023 (the “Meeting”) for the purpose of, among other things, the consideration of, and voting on, the proposed renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), relating to the Pacer American Energy Independence ETF (USAI), Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF (GCOW), Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF (COWZ), Pacer Trendpilot European ETF (PTEU) and Pacer Wealthshield ETF (PWS) (each, a “Fund” and together, the “September Renewal Funds”).

 

The Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement as it relates to each Fund at the Meeting, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by the Adviser as well as the Trust’s other service providers. Prior to deciding to approve the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement at the Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested and obtained from the Adviser such information as the Independent Trustees deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel. In addition, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from independent counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board with respect to the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Independent Trustees carefully evaluated information provided by the Adviser, including: a copy of the Investment Advisory Agreement; the Adviser’s responses to a questionnaire designed to provide the Board with information reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement; the Adviser’s Form ADV; information describing the nature, quality and extent of services that the Adviser has and is prepared in the future to provide to the Funds, and the advisory fees payable to the Adviser for its services; certain comparative information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses relative to the fees and expenses of other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; a copy of the Trust’s registration statement that included the Funds; information regarding compliance; marketing and distribution related initiatives; changes (if any) in personnel serving the Funds; and information regarding the financial condition of the Adviser.

 

Representatives from the Adviser, along with other Trust service providers, presented additional information and participated in question-and-answer sessions at the Meeting to help the Board evaluate the Adviser’s services, fees and other aspects of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Independent Trustee Counsel reviewed the factors the Trustees should consider in approving the Advisory Agreement, including the following to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser; (2) the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from services rendered to the Trust; (3) comparative fee and expense data for the Trust’s series and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Trust’s assets grew and whether the advisory fee payable to the Adviser reflects these economies of scale; and (5) other incidental and “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Trust.

 

The Board, including the Independent Trustees evaluated these factors and various materials in connection with the approval process, including: (1) a copy of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement; (2) the Adviser’s responses to questionnaires designed to provide the Board with information reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement; (3) the Adviser’s Form ADV disclosures; (4) information describing the nature, quality and extent of services that the Adviser is prepared to provide to the Funds; (5) the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Adviser for its services; (6) certain comparative information prepared by Broadridge regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance relative to the fees and expenses of other comparable funds and each Fund’s underlying index; (7) a copy of the Trust’s registration statement and prospectuses; and (8) information regarding the ownership and management structure, financial condition, and compliance program of the Adviser.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the scope of services to be provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed each Fund’s investment goal and investment strategy, and the Adviser’s ability to implement such investment goal and/or investment strategy, including, but not limited to, trading practices. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the management team at the Adviser that would be responsible for managing each Fund, including staffing, skills and compensation program, and considered various other Funds advised by the Adviser and any potential conflicts.

 

Based on its review, the Board determined that the Adviser is capable of providing all necessary advisory services required by each Fund, as indicated by the Adviser’s management capabilities, the professional qualifications and experience of its portfolio management personnel and the performance of the Funds relative to their respective underlying indexes. The Board reviewed, a comparison of each September Renewal Fund’s performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2023, to that of its underlying index and that, during the year, the Board received periodic reports on each Fund’s short- and longer-term performance in comparison with its underlying index. The Board noted that each of the September Renewal Fund’s generally performed in line with its underlying index over the relevant periods. The Board also considered other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser, where relevant, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations.

 

Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

 

Costs and Benefits of Advisory Services to be Provided to the Funds. In considering the advisory fees payable by the Trust to the Adviser and each Fund’s expense ratio, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Broadridge regarding the expense ratio components, including gross and net total expenses of the Fund in comparison with the same information for other ETFs, objectively selected by Broadridge as comprising the Fund’s applicable expense peer group (“Peer Group”) pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary ETF methodology. The Board was provided with a detailed description of the proprietary ETF methodology used by Broadridge to determine the Fund’s peer group. The Board noted that, due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the peer group, the statistical information provided in Broadridge’s report may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Fund in all instances. The Board compared each Fund’s expense ratio to the expense ratios of funds in its Peer Group, focusing on whether each Fund was charged fees that were within the range of fees charged by those in the Peer Group. It also noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to pay the operating expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest,

 

135

taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary and non-routine expenses. It was noted that this contractual agreement cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Board also evaluated the compensation and incidental or “fall-out” benefits received (or proposed or likely to be received) by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, taking into account assessments of the Adviser’s profitability prepared and shared by the Adviser’s management.

 

Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Adviser.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed and considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser as the assets of the Funds may grow in the future. In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors, the Trustees considered that each Fund’s fee arrangement with the Adviser involved a contractual commitment by the Adviser to pay the operating expenses of each Fund. For each Fund the Trustees considered that, while the investment advisory fee would remain the same at all asset levels, the Funds’ shareholders benefited from the Adviser’s commitment to pay each Fund’s operating expenses out of its investment advisory fee. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee structure of the Funds would not directly result in economies of scale for shareholders.

 

Based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, at the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees: (a) concluded that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that the Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Adviser to each Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement as to each Fund for an additional annual period. In its deliberations at the Meeting, the Board did not identify any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.

 

PACER SWAN SOS FUNDS

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Pacer Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees thereof who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), held a meeting on September 20, 2023 (the “Meeting”) for the purpose of, among other things, the consideration of, and voting on, the proposed renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), relating to the Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF, Pacer Swan SOS Conservative ETF, Pacer Swan SOS Moderate ETF, and Pacer Swan SOS Flex ETF (each, a “Fund” together, the “Funds”). The Board also considered the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Swan Global Management (referred to as “Swan” or the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to each Fund.

 

The Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the renewal of the Swan ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement as it relates to each Fund at the Meeting, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by the Adviser, Sub-Advisor as well as the Trust’s other service providers. Prior to deciding to approve the renewal of the Swan ETFs Advisory Agreement and Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Meeting, the Independent Trustees requested and obtained from the Adviser and the Sub-Advisor such information as the Independent Trustees deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the respective agreements. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel. In addition, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from independent counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board with respect to the renewal of the Swan ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement.

 

Representatives from the Adviser and Swan presented additional information and participated in question-and-answer sessions at the Meeting to help the Board evaluate the Adviser’s and Swan’s services, fees and other aspects of the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement. Independent Trustee Counsel reviewed the factors the Trustees should consider in approving the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement including the following to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser; (2) the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from services rendered to the Trust; (3) comparative fee and expense data for the Trust’s series and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Trust’s assets grew and whether the advisory fee payable to the Adviser reflects these economies of scale; and (5) other incidental and “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Trust.

 

The Board, including the Independent Trustees evaluated these factors and various materials in connection with the approval process, including: (1) a copy of the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement; (2) the Adviser’s and Swan’s responses to questionnaires designed to provide the Board with information reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) the Adviser’s and Swan’s Form ADV disclosures; (4) information describing the

nature, quality and extent of services that the Adviser and Swan is prepared to provide to the SOS ETFs; (5) the advisory fee payable by each SOS ETF to the Adviser for its services and the sub-advisory fee payable to Swan by the Adviser under the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement; (6) certain comparative information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance relative to the fees and expenses of other comparable funds and each Fund’s underlying index; (7) a copy of the Trust’s registration statement and prospectuses; and (8) information regarding the ownership and management structure, financial condition, and compliance program of the Adviser and Swan.

 

In considering the approval of the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, the Board considered various factors that the Trustees determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Swan, including the performance of the Adviser and Swan with respect to the SOS ETFs; (ii) the costs and benefits, including the fee to be paid to the Adviser by the SOS ETFs, of the advisory services to be provided to the SOS ETFs; (iii) the fee paid to Swan by the Adviser; and (iv) potential economies of scale.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Adviser and Swan. The Board reviewed the scope of services provided by the Adviser under the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and Swan under the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed SOS ETFs’ investment goal and investment strategy, and each of the Adviser’s and Swan’s ability to implement such investment goal and/or investment strategy, including, but not limited to, trading practices. With respect to sub-advisory services to be provided by Swan, the Board noted that the Sub-Advisor has assets allocated to it by the Adviser and considered Swan’s ability to ensure compliance with SOS ETF’s strategies, policies, and limitations. The Board reviewed a comparison of each SOS ETFs’ performance for the one-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2023 to that of the S&P 500 Price Return Index and that, during the year, the Board received periodic reports on each Fund’s short- and longer-term performance in comparison with the S&P 500 Price Return Index. The Board noted that each of the SOS ETF’s generally performed in line with its investment objective over the relevant periods. The Trustees also considered the successful performance of Swan in managing each SOS ETF. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the management team at the Adviser and Swan that is responsible for managing each SOS ETF, including staffing, skills and compensation program, and considered various other portfolios advised by the Adviser and Swan and any potential conflicts. They discussed the personnel changes at Swan and considered the quality of the professionals brought in to replace such personnel.

 

Based on its review, the Board determined that each of the Adviser and Swan is capable of providing all necessary advisory and sub-advisory services required by each SOS ETF, as indicated by the Adviser’s and Swan’s management capabilities, the professional qualifications and experience of its portfolio management personnel and the performance of each SOS ETF relative to the S&P 500 Price Return Index and other products managed by the Adviser and Swan with similar investment objectives and strategies as each SOS ETF, as applicable. The Board also considered other services provided to each SOS ETF by the Adviser and Swan, where relevant, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each SOS ETF’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations.

 

Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided to each SOS ETF by the Adviser and Swan, respectively.

 

Costs and Benefits of Advisory Services to be Provided to each SOS ETF. In considering the advisory fees payable by the Trust to the Adviser and each SOS ETF’s expense ratio, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Broadridge regarding the expense ratio components, including gross and net total expenses of a Fund in comparison with the same information for other ETFs, objectively selected by Broadridge as comprising the Fund’s applicable expense peer group (“Peer Group”) pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary ETF methodology. The Board was provided with a detailed description of the proprietary ETF methodology used by Broadridge to determine a Fund’s peer group. The Board noted that, due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the peer group, the statistical information provided in Broadridge’s report may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to a Fund in all instances. The Board compared each SOS ETF’s expense ratio to the expense ratios of funds in its Peer Group, focusing on whether each SOS ETF was charged fees that were within the range of fees charged by those in the Peer Group. It also noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to pay the operating expenses of each SOS ETF, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary and non-routine expenses. It was further noted that this contractual agreement cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Board also evaluated the compensation and incidental or “fall-out” benefits received by the Adviser from its relationship with each SOS ETF, considering the Adviser’s profitability analysis prepared and shared by the Adviser’s management.

 

Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that each SOS ETF’s advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Adviser.

(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Costs and Benefits of Swan’s Sub-Advisory Advisory Services to be Provided to each SOS ETF. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees paid to Swan are paid by the Adviser and would not be additional fees to be borne by each SOS ETF. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees were the product of arms-length negotiations between the Adviser and Swan. In considering the sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to Swan, the Board evaluated the compensation and benefits received or likely to be received by Swan from the Adviser relating to the services provided to each SOS ETF. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the sub-advisory fees payable to Swan under the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services rendered and, where relevant, expected to be rendered by the Sub-Advisor.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed and considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisor as the assets of the Funds may grow in the future. In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors, the Trustees considered that each Fund’s fee arrangement with the Adviser involved a contractual commitment by the Adviser to pay the operating expenses of each Fund. For each Fund, the Trustees considered that, while the investment advisory fee would remain the same at all asset levels, the Funds’ shareholders benefited from the Adviser’s commitment to pay each Fund’s operating expenses out of its investment advisory fee. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee structure of the Funds would not directly result in economies of scale for shareholders.

 

Based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, at the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees: (a) concluded that the terms of the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that the Adviser’s fees and the Sub-Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisor, respectively, to each Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the renewal of the SOS ETFs Advisory Agreement and the Swan Sub-Advisory Agreement as to each Fund for an additional annual period. In its deliberations at the Meeting, the Board did not identify any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.
