About PTBD
The Fund employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed and maintained by Index Design Group (the “Index Provider”), an affiliate of Pacer Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Index The Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology to implement a systematic trend-following strategy that directs exposure to one of the following positions: (i) 100% to the iBoxx® USD Liquid High Yield Index, (ii) 50% to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index and 50% to the iBoxx® USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index or (iii) 100% to iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index, depending on the “Risk Ratio,” described below. The iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index is designed to track the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated, high-yield corporate bonds issued in the U.S. The iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. Treasury bonds maturing in 7 to 10 years. The Index uses a “Risk Ratio” to signal a change in the position of the Index. The Risk Ratio is calculated by dividing the value of the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index by the value of the iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index. The Index, and consequently the Fund, may stay in any of its three possible positions for an extended period of time. As described below, the Index will change its position based on the following indicators, and each change will become effective by the close of business on the sixth business day after the indicator for the change is triggered. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. High Yield Indicator. When the Risk Ratio closes above its 100-day historical simple moving average (the “100-day moving average”) for five consecutive business days (the “High Yield Indicator”), the exposure of the Index will be 100% to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index, effective by the close of business on the sixth business day following the date of the High Yield Indicator. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. Once the High Yield Indicator has been triggered, the exposure of the Index will next change to either be 50% to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index and 50% iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index if the 50/50 Indicator (described below) is triggered or 100% to iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index if both the 50/50 Indicator and the Treasury Bond (“T-Bond”) Indicator (described below) are triggered simultaneously, effective by the close of business on the sixth business day following the date of the High Yield Indicator. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. 50/50 Indicator. When the Risk Ratio closes below its 100-day moving average for five consecutive business days (the “50/50 Indicator”), the exposure of the Index will be 50% to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index and 50% iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index, effective by the close of business on the sixth business day following the date of the 50/50 Indicator. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. Following the effectiveness of the 50/50 Indicator, the exposure of the Index may be greater than or less than 50% with respect to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index and iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index depending on their respective performance until either the High Yield Indicator or T-Bond Indicator (described below) is triggered. Once the 50/50 Indicator has been triggered, the exposure of the Index will next change to either be 100% to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index if the High Yield Indicator is triggered or 100% to iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index if the T-Bond Indicator (described below) is triggered, effective by the close of business on the sixth business day following the date of the 50/50 Indicator. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. T-Bond Indicator. When the Risk Ratio’s 100-day moving average closes lower than its value from five business days earlier (the “T-Bond Indicator”), the exposure of the Index will be 100% to iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index, effective by the close of business on the sixth business day following the date of the T-Bond Indicator. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. For example, if today is Wednesday and the Risk Ratio 100-day moving average closes lower than it did on the fifth preceding business day (Wednesday of the preceding week), the T-Bond Indicator is triggered. Unlike the operation of the High Yield Indicator and 50/50 Indicator, the closing values on the days in between today and the fifth preceding business day do not affect whether the T-Bond Indicator has been triggered; rather, the T-Bond Indicator simply compares today’s closing value to the closing value five business days earlier. However, the Index will not move directly from 100% exposure to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index to 100% exposure to iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10 Year Index unless the 50/50 Indicator was simultaneously triggered following the most recent triggering of the High Yield Indicator. Once the T-Bond Indicator has been triggered, the exposure of the Index will next change to be 100% to the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index if the High Yield Indicator is triggered, effective by the close of business on the sixth business day following the date of the indicator. The Index will be in a new position effective on the seventh business day. Once the T-Bond Indicator has been triggered, the Index will not return to its 50/50 position unless the High Yield Indicator is first triggered, followed by the 50/50 Indicator being triggered. The Fund’s Investment Strategy The Fund is classified as “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). However, the Fund may become “non-diversified” solely as a result of a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index.Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better. The Fund will generally use a “representative sampling” strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. However, the Fund may use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportion as in the Index, when the Fund’s sub-adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund (e.g., when replicating the Index does not involve practical difficulties or substantial costs). The Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Index, but which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions, and deletions).
