PTNQ: The Trend Following Nasdaq
PTNQ is an equities ETF tracking the Pacer NASDAQ-100 Trendpilot Index with trend-following strategies using technical analysis. The ETF works best in traditional bear markets, automatically switching to cash to reduce drawdowns, but struggles in vertical market moves. Passive investors seeking Nasdaq exposure with reduced drawdowns and risk-averse investors may benefit from using PTNQ in their portfolios.
PTNQ: An Expensive Risk Mitigation Tool
The Pacer Trendpilot 100 ETF aims to provide investors with long exposure to the Nasdaq 100 during rising markets while avoiding market downturns. PTNQ has significantly underperformed the Nasdaq 100 since its inception in 2015 but has shown relative strength during the 2022 bear market and the recent stock market sell-off. While PTNQ offers downside protection, its significant underperformance over the long term makes it an expensive risk mitigation tool.

PTNQ Is Better Than QQQX For Investing In Volatile Tech Unless You Favor Income
For those who want to invest in tech names of the Nasdaq 100 somewhat like Cathie Wood, but, at the same time, get some protection against volatility, there are QQQX and PTNQ. For this purpose, I make a comparison with the Nasdaq's tracking QQQ ETF which has hit a one-year low of 22% after a succession of interest rate hikes.
