The fund excels in value characteristics, international diversification, and moderate risk, but carries a high expense ratio and underperforms the global equity benchmark ACWI.

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.
