Pacer ETFs Introduces New Global Growth Strategy with Launch of the Pacer MSCI World Industry Advantage ETF

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 17, 2024--

Pacer ETFs (“Pacer”), the leading U.S. issuer in free cash flow ETFs*, announces today the launch of the Pacer MSCI World Industry Advantage ETF (CBOE: GLBL), as the firm continues to expand its Pacer Leaders Series.

GLBL’s rules-based strategy seeks to capture the growth potential of global developed markets by providing investors exposure to the leading companies in countries that have an industry advantage. As the global economy has developed over the past several decades, countries have emerged that excel in specific industries, such as France for luxury goods, Germany for manufacturing, Japan for automobiles and electronics and the United States for technology and financial services. GLBL seeks to provide investors with exposure to the leading names in global markets who exhibit this type of sector-specific competitive edge.

This ETF will track the MSCI World Ricardo Comparative Advantage Select Index which screens securities across 23 developed markets which have the highest active weight in each of the GICS® Industry Groups, an industry framework for identifying key business activities for companies across the world. GLBL’s strategy presents an opportunity for growth-focused investors to capitalize on the highest quality innovation and companies who have shown success in their sector on a global scale.

“For investors looking to strengthen their global investment strategy, companies that offer a competitive advantage, often developed by decades of success and leadership, present a compelling opportunity,” said Sean O’Hara, President of Pacer ETF Distributors. “GLBL allows investors to tap into key forces in global markets, making it a compelling addition for growth-focused investors.”

“We’re honored to celebrate another addition to our product offerings on the heels of several successful fund launches and asset milestones,” adds Joe Thomson, President of Pacer Financial. “We remain committed to maintaining this growth trajectory, and further establishing our dedication to innovation and our ability to meet investors’ evolving portfolio goals.”
