COWZ tracks a free cash flow-weighted index of companies selected from the Russell 1000 Index.

The Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF (COWZ) focuses on companies with high free cash flow, offering unique value and quality tilts often missing in portfolios.

COWZ reconstituted after business closed Friday and added 27 new stocks. It's now in the middle of a multi-day rebalancing process, but total quarterly turnover was about 30%. The changes improved COWZ's price-cash flow ratio, and it now holds stocks trading far from their 52-week high prices. It did so by boosting Energy sector exposure by nearly 6%. Materials and Financials were the key offsets, but crucially, the portfolio's quality did not improve. After its own quarterly reconstitution, VFLO keeps its advantage on fundamentals.

VFLO, which only made its debut in the markets in June 2023, has done reasonably well, generating 28% returns and largely outperforming the broader markets except in recent months. We highlight why VFLO is a better pick than COWZ, which tends to dominate fund flows in the FCF ETF space. VFLO is a good buy now due to its tilt towards defensive sectors like healthcare, oversold large and midcap value stocks, cheap valuations, and the formation of positive price action.

COWZ underwent its quarterly reconstitution after business close Friday, substituting 29 stocks that significantly changed its composition. Notably, Technology exposure increased by 9% and Energy decreased by 5%. COWZ also added many small- and mid-cap stocks and now has 30% allocated to stocks with market caps under $10 billion, the most since I began coverage. There are important risk and quality implications investors should consider when buying smaller companies. To demonstrate, I will compare COWZ's fundamentals against three key free-cash-flow players: VFLO, FLOW, and COWS.
