GCOW: Almost 3x The S&P 500 Yield With Major 2025 Alpha (Rating Upgrade)
I am upgrading GCOW to a buy due to improved momentum, attractive valuation, and strong alpha since my last review. GCOW offers high dividend yield and free cash flow exposure, appealing to value and income investors, with moderate risk and reasonable expenses. Energy sector overweight is a risk, but defensive allocations and large-cap value focus help cushion volatility; tech exposure is minimal.

Seeking Yield In Equity Funds With Lower Valuations And Risk
I track about a thousand funds using Mutual Fund Observer and have developed a ranking system to group equity funds into four categories based on risk, valuation, and/or yield. Tier One contains the Lipper Categories and funds that have a combination of lower risk, lower valuations, and higher yields. Tier Two contains those with low to moderate valuations and have lower risk.

GCOW: Global Diversification And Cash Flow At A Cost
Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF warrants a hold rating due to mixed factors, including high fees and potentially low future dividend growth. GCOW offers global diversification with high free cash flow, but has the highest expense ratio among compared ETFs with relatively high payout ratios. A strong U.S. dollar along with high proposed tariffs risk future returns for many of GCOW's top holdings.

Want High Dividends and Low Risk? This ETF Can Be an Ideal Option for Your Portfolio.
Dividend stocks can provide you with a lot of recurring income over the long term. But they can also prove to be risky investments to hold on their own because if a company's financials deteriorate, it may need to cut or stop its dividend.

GCOW: A Stable Dividend Strategy With Limited Growth Potential
GCOW invests in high FCF-yielding large-cap value stocks, resulting in moderate long-term capital appreciation and a 4.7% dividend yield. The fund's high exposure to energy and defensive sectors, combined with low technology exposure, limits its growth potential. GCOW's unhedged international investments expose it to currency risk, affecting performance based on U.S. dollar strength.

GCOW: An International Dividend Fund With A Solid Track Record
GCOW offers global exposure to high-dividend stocks with strong cash flows, making it a solid choice for income investors seeking diversification. Despite a higher expense ratio, GCOW's defensive sector allocations and high dividend yield provide downside protection and offset opportunity costs during market uncertainty. There is another compelling alternative due to its lower fees and larger portfolio that I will discuss in this article.
