Pacer Benchmark Industrial Real Estate SCTR ETF (INDS)

(the “Fund”)

October 14, 2022

Supplement to the

Summary Prospectus, Prospectus, and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”),

each dated August 31, 2021, as previously supplemented

Effective as of October 31, 2022, Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”) has accepted the termination by Kelly Benchmark Indexes (the “Index Provider”) of its services as the Index Provider of Kelly Industrial Real Estate Index (the “Kelly Benchmark INDS Index”). Accordingly, effective as of November 1, 2022 (the “Index Change Date”), (i) the Fund’s name will change to Pacer Industrial Real Estate ETF, (ii) the Fund will seek to track a new underlying index, the Solactive GPR Industrial Real Estate Index, in lieu of the Kelly Benchmark INDS Index, and (iii) consequently, the Fund’s investment objective and related investment strategies will change to reflect the Fund’s new underlying index, as described in greater detail below.

Effective on the Index Change Date, references to the Fund’s name will be changed to reflect the new name of the Fund and the sections entitled “Investment Objective,” “Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund,” and the subsection entitled “Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund—The Index” with respect to the Fund will be replaced with the following:

Objective [Heading]

Investment Objective

Objective, Primary [Text Block]

rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock

The Pacer Industrial Real Estate ETF (the “Fund”) is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive GPR Industrial Real Estate Index (the “Index”).

Strategy [Heading]

rr_StrategyHeading

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 was developed by Global Property Research B.V. and Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”), and measures the performance of the industrial real estate sector primarily of the U.S. equity market, which includes warehouse and self-storage real estate sub-sectors.

The Index

The Index is generally composed of the equity securities of developed markets companies that derive at least 85% of their earnings or revenues from real estate operations in the industrial real estate sector (“Industrial Companies”), including companies that derive at least 85% of their earnings or revenues from self-storage real estate operations (“Self-Storage Companies”). At the time of each reconstitution of the Index, Industrial Companies with a market capitalization of more than $200 million and average daily traded volume of at least 10,000 shares that are part of the GPR 250 Index are included in the Index (the “Index Constituents”). A significant portion of the Index is expected to be composed of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The real estate companies included in the Index may utilize leverage, and some may be highly leveraged. Additionally, such companies may include significant business operations outside of the United States.

The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced (i.e., companies are added or deleted and weights are reset based on Index rules) quarterly as of the close of business on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. Index Constituents are weighted based on their free-float market capitalization (i.e., market capitalization based on the number of shares available to the public), subject to the following constraints as of the time of each reconstitution of the Index. The sum of all Industrial Companies that are not Self-Storage Companies cannot exceed 80% of the total Index weight, and the remaining weight will be composed of Self-Storage Companies. Additionally, each Index Constituent’s weight is capped at 15% and the sum of Index Constituents with weights greater than 4.5% cannot exceed 45% of the total Index weight. If the foregoing limits would be exceeded at the time of a reconstitution of the Index, the excess weight is proportionally redistributed to all Index Constituents with weights below such limits.
