Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF stands out as a compelling global dividend and value play amid stretched S&P 500 valuations. GCOW's focus on high free cash flow yield and dividend yield stocks has driven nearly 181% total return since 2016, with income as the primary driver. With a 0.6% management fee, GCOW offers higher yield and trades at just 14.18x earnings, significantly below major global indices' valuations.
Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF offers diversified global exposure to 100 high free cash flow dividend stocks, excluding financials and overweighting non-U.S. equities.
