Rotate, don’t retreat, with latest Pacer ETFs offering
PAOLI, Pa. (PRWEB) July 24, 2018 -- The newly issued Pacer CFRA-Stovall Equal Weight Seasonal Rotation ETF (SZNE) offers a calculated approach to investing. Influenced by the investing adage “Sell in May and Go Away,” the fund rotates into sectors that have historically fared well during certain times of the year. Pacer partnered with research giant CFRA and Sam Stovall, its chief investment strategist for U.S. equities and the author of The Seven Rules of Wall Street: Crash-Tested Investment Strategies That Beat the Market, in developing this innovative new ETF.
“CFRA and Sam have offered tremendous analysis on both the stock market and the economy for a very long time. Sam’s 20-plus years of experience as Chief Equity Strategist at S&P and strategic approach to investing have us extremely excited about this partnership. Their analysis supports our belief in giving investors a common-sense approach with a risk management component that may help grow their nest eggs and preserve them in case of a downturn,” says Sean O’Hara of Pacer ETFs Distributors.
The fund tracks certain sectors of the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. From November through April, the fund will offer equal weight exposure to companies in the consumer discretionary, industrials, information technology and material sectors. From May through October, the ETF will be exposed to companies in the defensive sectors of consumer staples and health care.
“CFRA is pleased to partner with Pacer to provide equity strategies that leverage the stock market’s tendency to exhibit alternating seasonal strength and weakness. Our research shows that historically the S&P 500’s average price change has been substantially higher during the six months from November 1 through April 30 than it has been during the six months from May 1 through October 31, but we believe you should rotate based on seasonal sector trends, not retreat,” says Sam Stovall.
Joe Thomson, Founder and President of Pacer Financial, adds, “The Pacer CFRA-Stovall Equal Weight Seasonal Rotation ETF is an exciting new partnership for us at Pacer. We believe this new fund is something investors will embrace as it is a new way to strategically balance growth opportunities while maximizing the tax efficiency of the ETF wrapper.”
Pacer ETFs also just launched the Pacer US Export Leaders ETF (PEXL), a fund that aims to capture the total return of 100 large-cap and mid-cap companies with a high percentage of foreign sales and high free-cash-flow growth.
