Pacer American Energy Independence ETF

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 representing approximately 8% of the U.S. equity market capitalization.

The performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on redemptions of Fund shares. The total annual operating expenses as stated in the fee table to the Fund’s prospectus dated February 28, 2022, is 0.75%. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-877-337-0500.

Inception date is December 12, 2017. The Fund is the sucessor to the investment performance of the American Energy Independence ETF (the “Predecessor USAI”) as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor USAI Fund into the Fund on December 16, 2019. 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. The Predecessor USAI Fund was advised by SL Advisors, LLC and sub-advised by Penserra Capital Management LLC and had substantially the same investment objectives, policies, and strategies as the Fund.

Indexes are unmanaged statistical composites and their returns do not include fees an investor would pay to purchase the securities they represent. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
For the Period Ended April 30, 2022 (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 and ODDS 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 which charges $750. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Fund’s 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 PSCX, PSMD. PSFD, PSFF, PSCW, PSMR, PSFM, PSCJ, PSMJ, PSFJ, PSCQ, PSMO, PSFO and ODDS 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, PSFF, 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 their 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.

 

Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Any securities for which there are no readily available market quotations and other assets will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Pricing Committee using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2022 (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

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 Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2022:

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2021, 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 period ended October 31, 2021, 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 (2018-2020) for USAI, or expected to be taken in each of the Fund’s 2021 tax returns. During the period ended October 31, 2021, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 PSCX, PSMD. PSFD, PSFF, PSCW, PSMR, PSFM, PSCJ, PSMJ, PSFJ, PSCQ, PSMO and PSFO are declared and paid at least annually, and distributions to shareholders from net investment income for ODDS are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Distributions from net realized gains on securities 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.

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, 2021, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

During the fiscal period ended October 31, 2021, 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.

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 April 30, 2022, 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 period ended April 30, 2022, 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 9 – 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 or short-term U.S. Treasury securities 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, 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 the Fund’s next taxable year. At October 31, 2021, the Funds, on a tax basis, did not defer any post-October or late year ordinary losses other than PSCX and PSFF which deferred $13,321 and $21,448, respectively.

NOTE 12 – RISKS

 

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which each Funds invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

 

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.

 

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued.

NOTE 5 – BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR THE FUNDS

 

USAI

 

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 March 21, 2022 (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 “Advisor”), relating to the Pacer American Energy Independence ETF (the “Fund”).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement at the Meeting, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by the Advisor 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 Advisor 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.

 

Prior to approval, the Board obtained and reviewed a variety of information, including certain information regarding each Fund’s expenses relative to the expenses of other comparable funds. At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors and various materials in connection with the approval process, including: (1) a copy of the Investment Advisory Agreement; (2) the Advisor’s responses to questionnaires designed to provide the Board with information reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the Advisor’s Form ADV disclosures; (4) information describing the nature, quality and extent of services that the Advisor is prepared to provide to the Fund; (5) the advisory fee payable by the Fund to the Advisor for its services; (6) certain comparative information regarding the Fund’s expenses and performance relative to the expenses and performance of other comparable funds; (7) a copy of the Trust’s registration statement; and (8) information regarding the ownership and management structure, financial condition, and compliance program of the Advisor. Representatives from the Advisor presented additional information and participated in question-and-answer sessions at the Meeting to help the Board evaluate the Advisor’s services and fees, as well as other aspects of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement at the Meeting, 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 Advisor, including the performance of the Advisor with respect to the Fund; (ii) the costs and benefits, including the fee to be paid to the Advisor by the Fund, of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund; and (iii) potential economies of scale.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Advisor. The Board reviewed the scope of services to be provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed the Fund’s investment goal and investment strategy, and the Advisor’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 Advisor that would be responsible for managing the Fund, including staffing, skills and compensation program, and considered various other Funds advised by the Advisor and any potential conflicts.

 

Based on its review, the Board determined that the Advisor is capable of providing all necessary advisory services required by the Fund, as indicated by the Advisor’s management capabilities, the professional qualifications and experience of its portfolio management personnel and the performance of the Fund relative to comparable funds managed by other investment advisers (each a “Peer Group”). The Board also considered other services provided to the Fund by the Advisor, where relevant, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the 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 Fund by the Advisor.

 

Costs and Benefits of Advisory Services to be Provided to the Fund. In considering the advisory fees payable by the Trust to the Advisor and the Fund’s expense ratio, the Board reviewed data compiled by the Advisor comparing the expense ratios of the Fund with the expense ratios of the Fund’s Peer Group. The Board compared the Fund’s expense ratio to the expense ratios of funds in its Peer Group, focusing on whether the Fund was charged fees that were within the range of fees charged by those in the Peer Group. It also noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to pay the operating expenses of the Fund, 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 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 Advisor from its relationship with the Fund, taking into account assessments of the Advisor’s profitability prepared and shared by the Advisor’s management.

 

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

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed and considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Advisor as the assets of the Fund may grow in the future. In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors, the Trustees considered that the Fund’s fee arrangement with the Advisor involved a contractual commitment by the Advisor to pay the operating expenses of the Fund. The Trustees considered that, while the investment advisory fee would remain the same at all asset levels, the Fund’s shareholders benefited from the Advisor’s commitment to pay the Fund’s operating expenses out of its investment advisory fee. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee structure of the Fund 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 the Fund are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that the Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Advisor to the Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement as to the 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.

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 15, 2021 (the “Meeting”) for the purpose of, among other things, the consideration of, and voting on, the proposed investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), relating to the Pacer Bluestar Digital Entertainment ETF (the “Fund”).

 

The Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement at the Meeting, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by the Advisor as well as the Trust’s other service providers.

In addition, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from independent counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

In considering the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered various materials, including information that had previously been provided to the Board at its various meetings including: (1) a copy of the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Schedule thereto; (2) Pacer’s responses to a questionnaire requesting information pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act (the “15(c) Questionnaire”); (3) Pacer’s Form ADV disclosures; (4) information describing the nature, quality and extent of services that Pacer will provide to the Fund, and the proposed advisory fees payable to Pacer; (5) comparable fund expense and performance data; (6) a copy of the prospectus and statement of additional information that are part of the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A that include the Fund; and (7) information regarding the financial condition of Pacer.

 

Trust counsel reviewed the factors that the Trustees should consider in approving the Investment Advisory Agreement. In considering the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the following factors, to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by Pacer to the Fund; (2) the general costs of providing the services and the profits anticipated to be realized by Pacer from its services to be rendered to the Fund; (3) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows in assets, and whether the proposed advisory fee for the Fund reflects any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits to Pacer and its affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Fund.

 

Pacer then presented on the anticipated profitability to the Advisor of managing the Fund, discussing such profitability at different projected asset levels. Pacer then discussed the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund, including the types of securities to be included in its portfolio, the methodology and performance of the Fund’s underlying index, brokerage selection process with respect to domestic securities, and compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies and applicable laws and regulations, including portfolio liquidity requirements and tax diversification requirements, and responded to questions with respect thereto. The Advisor provided background information on and discussed the qualifications of key personnel at Pacer to provide services to the Fund, including the proposed portfolio managers of the Fund. The Advisor also discussed the services that Pacer would provide to the Fund and the fees that would

be paid with respect to such services. The Advisor further reviewed Pacer’s business continuity plan and policies and procedures designed to address any conflicts of interest in managing the Fund relative to other accounts. Pacer discussed its plans to grow the Fund’s assets and the proposed timetable for commencing operations for the Fund.

 

Pacer then discussed the proposed investment advisory fee to be paid by the Fund to Pacer. The Advisor reviewed the comparisons included in their Board meeting materials of the proposed fee payable by the Fund to those charged by a group of comparably managed funds, commenting on where the fee payable by the Fund fell within the range of fees charged to comparable funds. The Advisor also reviewed the methodology used to develop the list of comparable funds. Pacer then discussed the factors that were considered when determining the proposed advisory fee for the Fund. The Advisor then responded to questions from the Trustees regarding, among other things: (a) the proposed advisory fees, (b) how such fees compared to advisory fees charged to comparable funds and (c) Pacer’s views with respect to what constitutes a comparable fund for purposes of fee comparisons.

 

The Trustees were assisted by Trust counsel and independent trustees’ counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of counsel and exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factors. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was allimportant or controlling.

 

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services and Investment Performance.

 

The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Pacer, noting that Pacer will be providing investment management services to the Fund. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund and discussed these services with the Advisor. Among other things, the Trustees considered the quality of the Advisor’s portfolio management personnel and the level of services provided to the existing Funds. The Advisor’s registration form (“Form ADV”) was provided to the Trustees, as was the Advisor’s response to the 15(c) Questionnaire which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Trustees considered the methodology of the Fund’s underlying index and the performance results provided at the Meeting for the index. The Trustees also considered the Fund’s investment strategy and the manner in which the Advisor would manage the Fund pursuant to such strategy. The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures with applicable securities regulations and with the exemptive order applicable to the Fund. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

 

Cost of Services Provided and Economies of Scale.

 

The Trustees reviewed the proposed expense ratio and the proposed advisory fee to be paid to the Fund, considered fees paid by comparable funds, and concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable and comparable to those that would result from an arm’s length negotiation. Additionally, the Trustees took into consideration that the advisory fee was a “unified fee,” meaning that the Fund would pay no expenses other than its advisory fee and certain other costs such as interest, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses and, to the extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution plan. The Trustees noted that the Advisor would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses out of its own fee and resources. The Trustees also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees then evaluated the anticipated profitability of the Advisor with respect to its costs to manage the Fund.

 

Based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, at the Meeting, respectively, the Board, including the Independent Trustees: (a) concluded that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that the Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Advisor to the Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement as to the Fund. 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.
