Hi VettaFi Voices, we are heading toward the last week of the Q2 earnings season. Now seems like a good time to assess how things have gone so far and what we can expect from next week.

VettaFi Voices On: The Coming End of Earnings Season

Pacer US Small Cap Cash Cows 100 ETF

Pacer Cash Cows Fund of Funds ETF

The appeal for cash cows is back, given the stock market volatility and uncertainty. A cash cow is a company or a business unit in a mature, slow-growth industry.

Here's Why Cash Cow ETFs Are Soaring to New Highs

VFLO is a newly-launched free cash flow yield ETF that incorporates forward-looking metrics estimates into the selection process. Fees are 0.39%, and AUM is up to $54 million. Trailing and forward free cash flow figures combine to generate expected free cash flow. Like COWZ, VFLO's valuation metrics are excellent. It currently trades at 11.88x forward earnings. However, VFLO only holds 50 stocks compared to 100 for COWZ and FLOW, another free cash flow ETF just launched by Global X.

Economic data seems all over the place. GDP is up 2.4% for the second quarter, a bigger increase than we saw in the first quarter.

VettaFi Voices On: Conflicting Economic Data

My family uses the ZEUS investing strategy of 33% ETFs, 33% hedges, and 33% individual stocks, offering the ideal combination of market-level (or better) returns with 50% lower volatility. I'm constantly hunting for the best ETFs, which compose the core of my family's 67% stock/33% hedges portfolio. COWZ is the gold standard of Buffett-style deep-value ETFs. COWZ utilizes Buffett's favorite valuation metric, free cash flow yield, which over 32 years, delivered the best returns with the least volatility.

COWZ Vs. VFLO: We Might Have A New King Of Buffett-Style ETFs

The Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF has my attention due to its 42.5% total return in 2021, but repeating this performance is unlikely. COWZ tracks the performance of the Pacer US Cash Cows 100 Index, which is heavily weighted towards cyclical sectors such as energy and materials. Despite strong performance in recent years, COWZ carries significant risk due to its focus on cyclical industries, which may be impacted by the global economic slowdown.

The Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF consistently selects 100 high-quality U.S. securities trading at attractive valuations. Fees are high at 0.49%, but long-term compounded returns are impressive. However, COWZ's annual returns from 2017-2023 are inconsistent relative to the value and blend peer groups I've assigned. This introduces timing risks, as COWZ is often a below-average performer. COWZ emphasizes value in the struggling Energy sector. However, what worked in 2021-2022 won't necessarily work in 2023. Despite quarterly reconstitutions, COWZ has been slow to unwind these risky stocks.
