The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund is newly organized, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

The following example is intended to help retail investors compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It illustrates the hypothetical expenses that such investors would incur over various periods if they were to invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of the shares at the end of those periods. This example assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed and maintained by Index Design Group (the “Index Provider”), an affiliate of Pacer Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

The Index

The Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology to implement a systematic trend-following strategy that directs exposure to one of the following positions: (i) 100% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index, (ii) 50% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index and 50% to the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index or (iii) 100% to S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index, depending on the “Risk Ratio,” described below.

The S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index is designed to track the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated, high-yield corporate bonds issued in the U.S. The S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. Treasury bonds maturing in 7 to 10 years. The Index uses a “Risk Ratio” to signal a change in the position of the Index. The Risk Ratio is calculated by dividing the value of the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index by the value of the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index.

The Index, and consequently the Fund, may stay in any of its three possible positions for an extended period of time. As described below, the Index will change its position based on the following indicators, and each change will become effective on the fifth business day after the indicator for the change is triggered.

High Yield Indicator. When the Risk Ratio closes above its 100-day historical simple moving average (the “100-day moving average”) for five consecutive business days (the “High Yield Indicator”), the exposure of the Index will be 100% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index, effective on the fifth business day following the date of the High Yield Indicator.

Once the High Yield Indicator has been triggered, the exposure of the Index will next change to either be 50% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index and 50% S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index if the 50/50 Indicator (described below) is triggered or 100% to S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index if both the 50/50 Indicator and the Treasury Bond (“T-Bond”) Indicator (described below) are triggered simultaneously, effective on the fifth business day following the date of the indicator(s).

50/50 Indicator. When the Risk Ratio closes below its 100-day moving average for five consecutive business days (the “50/50 Indicator”), the exposure of the Index will be 50% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index and 50% S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index, effective on the fifth business day following the date of the 50/50 Indicator. Following the effectiveness of the 50/50 Indicator, the exposure of the Index may be greater than or less than 50% with respect to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index and S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index depending on their respective performance until either the High Yield Indicator or T-Bond Indicator (described below) is triggered.

Once the 50/50 Indicator has been triggered, the exposure of the Index will next change to either be 100% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index if the High Yield Indicator is triggered or 100% to S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index if the T-Bond Indicator (described below) is triggered, effective on the fifth business day following the date of the indicator.

T-Bond Indicator. When the Risk Ratio’s 100-day moving average closes lower than its value from five business days earlier (the “T-Bond Indicator”), the exposure of the Index will be 100% to S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index, effective on the fifth business day following the date of the T-Bond Indicator.

For example, if today is Wednesday and the Risk Ratio 100-day moving average closes lower than it did on the fifth preceding business day (Wednesday of the preceding week), the T-Bond Indicator is triggered. Unlike the operation of the High Yield Indicator and 50/50 Indicator, the closing values on the days in between today and the fifth preceding business day do not affect whether the T-Bond Indicator has been triggered; rather, the T-Bond Indicator simply compares today’s closing value to the closing value five business days earlier. However, the Index will not move directly from 100% exposure to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index to 100% exposure to S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index unless the 50/50 Indicator was simultaneously triggered following the most recent triggering of the High Yield Indicator.

Once the T-Bond Indicator has been triggered, the exposure of the Index will next change to be 100% to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index if the High Yield Indicator is triggered, effective on the fifth business day following the date of the indicator. Once the T-Bond Indicator has been triggered, the Index will not return to its 50/50 position unless the High Yield Indicator is first triggered, followed by the 50/50 Indicator being triggered.

The Fund’s Investment Strategy

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportion as in the Index. However, the Fund may use a “representative sampling” strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole, when the Fund’s sub-adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund (e.g., when replicating the Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, an Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable, or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fund but not to the Index).

The Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Index, but which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions, and deletions).

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You can lose money on your investment in the Fund. The Fund is subject to the risks summarized below. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objectives. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund’s prospectus entitled “Additional Information about the Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds.” The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

•

Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.

•

Fixed Income Risk. The value of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. The value of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in fixed income securities may be affected by the inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in debt securities markets.


◦	Call Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or repay the security prior to its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.


◦	Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make payments of interest and principal when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of an investment in that issuer.


◦	Event Risk. Event risk is the risk that corporate issuers may undergo restructurings, such as mergers, leveraged buyouts, takeovers, or similar events financed by increased debt. As a result of the added debt, the credit quality and market value of a company’s bonds and/or other debt securities may decline significantly.


◦	Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall.

◦

Interest Rate Risk. Generally, the value of fixed income securities will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities tends to increase. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term securities. Changes in government intervention may have adverse effects on investments, volatility, and illiquidity in debt markets.


◦	Prepayment Risk. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the proceeds may have to be invested in securities with lower yields.


•	Government Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government. There can be no guarantee that the United States will be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to such securities. Additionally, market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government may decline or be negative for short or long periods of time.

•

High Yield Risk. High yield debt obligations (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are speculative investments and entail greater risk of loss of principal than securities and loans that are investment grade rated because of their greater exposure to credit risk. The high yield market at times is subject to substantial volatility and high yield debt obligations may be less liquid than higher quality securities. As a result, the value of the Fund may be subject to greater volatility than other funds, and the Fund may be exposed to greater tracking risk (described below) than other funds.

•

Management Risk. To the extent the Fund uses a representative sampling strategy to obtain exposure to the Index, the Fund’s ability to track the performance of the Index will be contingent on the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to identify a subset of Index components whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.


•	New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decision.

•

Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and the Sub-Adviser would not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology. The Fund invests in securities included in, the Index, regardless of their investment merits. The Fund does not take defensive positions under any market conditions, including conditions that are adverse to the performance of the Fund.

•

Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The price of Fund shares, like the price of all traded securities, will be subject to factors such as supply and demand, as well as the current value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the Fund will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.

•

Tracking Risk. The Fund’s return may not track the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. In addition, when the Fund uses a representative sampling approach, the Fund may not be as well correlated with the return of the Index as when the Fund purchases all of the securities in the Index in the proportions in which they are represented in the Index. Additionally, to the extent the high yield market experiences greater volatility or reduced liquidity, the Fund may not be able to acquire or dispose of the high yield securities in the Index at exactly the same time and price reflected in a reconstitution of the Index, and consequently, the Index’s exposure to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index may result in a greater difference between the returns of the Fund and those of the Index.

•

Trend Lag Risk. At least six consecutive trading days will elapse after the Risk Ratio first drops below its historical 100‑day simple moving average (or conversely, first moves above such average) before the Index will switch from tracking the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index to the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index (or conversely, from the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond 7-10 Year Index to the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index). As a result, if the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index is in an overall positive trend, the Index and consequently the Fund may be adversely affected by a downward trend and/or volatility in the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index for up to six consecutive trading days (or conversely, if the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index is in an overall negative trend, the Index and consequently the Fund may not benefit from an upward trend and/or volatility in the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index for up to six consecutive trading days). Accordingly, the methodology employed by the Index does not eliminate exposure to downward trends and/or volatility in the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index and does not provide immediate exposure to upward trends and/or volatility in the S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index.
