The fund aims to follow robotics and 3D printing companies driving the future of manufacturing and engineering
Pacer ETFs (“Pacer”), an ETF provider that offers strategy-driven, rules-based ETFs, launches the Pacer BlueStar Engineering the Future ETF (ticker: BULD), which aims to follow the BlueStar Global Robotics & 3D Printing Index. The rules-based index consists of globally listed stocks and depositary receipts of companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from robotics or manufacturing automation equipment, computer-aided design (CAD) software, or 3D printing products or services and material providers.
“BULD provides exposure to the companies that are leading the technology, manufacturing and engineering industries to new heights in what is called ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution,’” says Sean O’Hara, president of Pacer ETF Distributors. “BULD aims to follow the next generation of industrial automation that will support this societal change by enhancing supply chains, providing new solutions for mass customization and much more.”
The Pacer BlueStar Engineering the Future ETF targets manufacturing and engineering developments leading The Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, which is characterized by disruptive industrial automation, dependency on 3D printing and robotics. In order for this revolution to take place, there must be a build out of the Internet of Things, machine-to-machine communications and computer-aided design (CAD) software to increase speed, safety and productivity in the manufacturing and engineering sectors. BULD aims to capture this trend by investing in the companies enabling this revolution.
“At Pacer ETFs, it’s our mission to provide investors with investment opportunities that tap into societal changes and have the potential to transform the way businesses operate,” says Joe Thomson, president and founder of Pacer Financial. “This ETF could provide a new way for investors to capitalize on the next big technology revolution.”
