The Index The Index is generally composed of the equity securities of developed markets companies that derive at least 85% of their earnings or revenues from real estate operations in the industrial real estate sector (Industrial Companies), including companies that derive at least 85% of their earnings or revenues from self-storage real estate operations (Self-Storage Companies). At … 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 was developed by Global Property Research B.V. and Solactive AG (the Index Provider), and measures the performance of the industrial real estate sector primarily of the U.S. equity market, which includes warehouse and self-storage real estate sub-sectors. The Index The Index is generally composed of the equity securities of developed markets companies that derive at least 85% of their earnings or revenues from real estate operations in the industrial real estate sector (Industrial Companies), including companies that derive at least 85% of their earnings or revenues from self-storage real estate operations (Self-Storage Companies). At the time of each reconstitution of the Index, Industrial Companies with a market capitalization of more than $200 million and average daily traded volume of at least 10,000 shares that are part of the GPR 250 Index are included in the Index (the Index Constituents). A significant portion of the Index is expected to be composed of real estate investment trusts (REITs). The real estate companies included in the Index may utilize leverage, and some may be highly leveraged. Additionally, such companies may include significant business operations outside of the United States. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced ( i.e. , companies are added or deleted and weights are reset based on Index rules) quarterly as of the close of business on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. Index Constituents are weighted based on their free-float market capitalization ( i.e. , market capitalization based on the number of shares available to the public), subject to the following constraints as of the time of each reconstitution of the Index. The sum of all Industrial Companies that are not Self-Storage Companies cannot exceed 80% of the total Index weight, and the remaining weight will be composed of Self-Storage Companies. Additionally, each Index Constituents weight is capped at 15% and the sum of Index Constituents with weights greater than 4.5% cannot exceed 45% of the total Index weight. If the foregoing limits would be exceeded at the time of a reconstitution of the Index, the excess weight is proportionally redistributed to all Index Constituents with weights below such limits. The Funds Investment Strategy Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in companies the industrial real estate sector. The Fund defines the industrial real estate sector as consisting of companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues or profits from owning or managing land or buildings used for industrial purposes (e.g., warehouses, distribution facilities, storage or self-storage facilities). Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the Adviser) expects that, over time, the correlation between the Funds performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better. The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents, other investment companies, as well as securities and other instruments not included in the Index but which the Adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.
