Pacer ETFs Breaks Into Institutional Market Using Citi Indices

Pacer ETFs, a seven-time award winning1 passive rules-based ETF issuer, is pleased to announce their agreement with Citi to license Citi’s proprietary indices for use in Pacer’s exchange traded funds. This agreement allows Pacer to combine its industry expertise in exchange traded funds with Citi’s index expertise to offer new solutions in exchange traded funds for the institutional market.

Under the agreement, Citi will license their proprietary indices to Pacer ETFs, who acting as the fund sponsor, will create exchange traded funds to provide institutions with strategy-driven solutions for risk management and long-term growth.

Pacer ETFs has amassed over $1 billion in assets under management in two years through their two suites of ETFs:

• Trendpilot® Series employs a trend following strategy that seeks to participate in the market when it is trending up, maintain some exposure during short-term market declines, and exit the market when it is trending down. Pacer currently has four Trendpilot ETFs.
• Cash Cows Index℠ Series employs a passive rules-based security selection process to identify top companies in an index universe based on their free cash flow yield. Pacer currently has four funds in the Cash Cows Index Series.

“Pacer ETFs is excited about the opportunity to license indices from Citi. Utilizing Citi’s indices will provide new opportunities in the institutional space for Pacer.” says Sean O’Hara, President of Pacer ETFs.

“At Pacer ETFs, our goal is to offer investors strategies that add value to their portfolios,” says Joe Thomson, Founder and President of Pacer Financial. “Our new agreement with Citi will allow us to provide our ETFs to the institutional market. We continue to look for new avenues for growth and innovation to help financial advisors and their clients and now institutions to meet their investment needs.”
