Read MoreHide Full Article
Launched on June 8, 2022, the Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF (TRFK - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Technology - Broad segment of the equity market.
Retail and institutional investors increasingly turn to passively managed ETFs because they offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; these kind of funds are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
Sector ETFs also provide investors access to a broad group of companies in particular sectors that offer low risk and diversified exposure. Technology - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 2, placing it in top 13%.
Index Details
The fund is sponsored by Pacer Etfs. It has amassed assets over $203.34 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Technology - Broad segment of the equity market. TRFK seeks to match the performance of the PACER DATA TRANSMISN & COMM REVOLUTN ID before fees and expenses.
The Pacer Data Transmission and Communication Revolution Index derive at least 50% of their revenues from one of the following activities related to the use, manipulation, transmission, or storage of data and the ancillary services.
Costs
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.49%, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
While ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector -- about 92.3% of the portfolio.
Looking at individual holdings, Broadcom Inc (AVGO) accounts for about 10.02% of total assets, followed by Nvidia Corp (NVDA) and Oracle Corp (ORCL).
The top 10 holdings account for about 57.39% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
So far this year, TRFK return is roughly 35.27%, and is up roughly 49.25% in the last one year (as of 10/02/2025). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $38.975 and $68.34.
The ETF has a beta of 1.29 and standard deviation of 27.58% for the trailing three-year period. With about 85 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 1 (Strong Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, TRFK is an outstanding option for investors seeking exposure to the Technology ETFs segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) tracks Technology Select Sector Index and the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) tracks MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology 25/50 Index. Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF has $90.65 billion in assets, Vanguard Information Technology ETF has $108.42 billion. XLK has an expense ratio of 0.08%, and VGT charges 0.09%.
