Read MoreHide Full Article
The Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF (TRFK - Free Report) was launched on June 8, 2022, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Technology - Broad segment of the equity market.
An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
Sector ETFs are also funds of convenience, offering many ways to gain low risk and diversified exposure to a broad group of companies in particular sectors. Technology - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 4, placing it in top 25%.
Index Details
The fund is sponsored by Pacer Etfs. It has amassed assets over $438.05 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
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.49%, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.01%.
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 92.6% of the portfolio.
Looking at individual holdings, Broadcom Inc (AVGO) accounts for about 10.63% of total assets, followed by Nvidia Corp (NVDA) and Oracle Corp (ORCL).
The top 10 holdings account for about 63.23% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
Year-to-date, the Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF has added about 0.5% so far, and was up about 26.77% over the last 12 months (as of 02/04/2026). TRFK has traded between $38.975 and $73.9 in this past 52-week period.
The ETF has a beta of 1.32 and standard deviation of 26.8% for the trailing three-year period. With about 87 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (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.
