Insights
The launch of Pacer Nasdaq International Patent Leaders ETF (PATN) represents a significant innovation in the ETF space. By focusing on patent valuations, PATN offers a unique approach to capturing international growth potential, particularly in sectors driving R&D like technology and healthcare. This strategy could appeal to growth-oriented investors seeking exposure to innovation beyond U.S. markets.
However, investors should consider that patent valuation is an unconventional metric for stock selection. While it may indicate future growth potential, it doesn't necessarily correlate with current financial performance. Additionally, the fund's concentration in specific sectors and its non-diversified nature may increase volatility. The newness of this approach also means there's no track record to evaluate its effectiveness in various market conditions.
Overall, PATN offers a fresh perspective on international investing, but comes with unique risks that investors should carefully weigh against potential rewards.
The introduction of PATN reflects a growing trend towards thematic and factor-based ETFs. This product addresses a gap in the market for international innovation-focused ETFs, potentially attracting investors dissatisfied with traditional international fund offerings.
Market reception will likely depend on several factors:
- Performance relative to established international ETFs
- Investor appetite for growth-oriented international exposure
- The fund's ability to effectively capture innovation and growth
If successful, this ETF could inspire similar products, potentially reshaping how investors approach international market exposure. However, its success will ultimately hinge on its ability to deliver superior returns and attract significant assets under management. The uniqueness of its approach may require substantial investor education, which could impact initial adoption rates.

Traditionally, international ETF solutions offer diversification and tend to be largely overweight in sectors such as financials and energy. PATN provides investors with an opportunity to access the alpha generated by international ingenuity in a more growth-oriented way by focusing on countries and sectors driving research and development, including technology, healthcare and consumer discretionary.
“Despite impressive innovation in international markets, investors lack options to capture this potential due to prolonged stagnation,” said Sean O’Hara, President of Pacer ETF Distributors. “By looking beyond traditional metrics and identifying international innovation leaders, we believe we can offer a better way to tap into ex-
“We recognize that investors need new, more effective ways to access international markets, as traditional strategies lack differentiation,” said Joe Thomson, Founder and President of Pacer. “Up to this point, no one has applied the concept of patent valuation as a way to identify companies that exhibit growth characteristics and I’m exceptionally proud of the Pacer Team for leading the charge with this new fund.”
