| Investment Objective: |
A strategy driven exchange traded fund that aims to provide capital appreciation over time by tracking companies supporting critical emerging defense technologies in the U.S. and its allied nations. The Pacer Solactive Whitney Future of Warfare ETF employs a "passive management" investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Whitney Future of Warfare Index. The Index is a rules-based index that intends to track companies that support critical emerging defense technologies across the U.S. and its allies. Companies are selected based on affiliation with defense-related modernization priorities, their geostrategic risk rating score and the size of current contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense ("DOD"). The industry affiliation maps designated defense technology priorities to granular industry classifications, and the geostrategic risk rating score measures entanglement in risky countries, from a North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") perspective. The result is a diversified constituent list of companies that are expected to produce technologies that will shape defense programs and capabilities, while limiting geopolitical risk from sanctions, trade, and conflict. |
