Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information ("SAI"), which contain more information about the Fund and its risks. The current prospectus and SAI dated August 31, 2025, are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus. You can find the Fund's prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Fund online at www.paceretfs.com/resources/items/cat/important-documents/. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-800-617-0004 or by sending an e-mail request to ETF@usbank.com.

**Investment Objective**

The Pacer Lunt Large Cap Multi-Factor Alternator ETF (the "Fund") is an exchange traded fund ("ETF") that seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Lunt Capital U.S. Large Cap Multi-Factor Rotation Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses** (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management Fees | 0.60% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Expenses | 0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses** | **0.60%** |

---

**Example**

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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $61 | $192 | $335 | $750 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

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. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 493% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund**

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 by Lunt Capital Management, Inc. ("Lunt Capital" or the "Index Provider").

------

*The Index*

The Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology to provide exposure to large-capitalization U.S. companies. The Index uses Lunt Capital's proprietary relative strength methodology to rotate between the holdings of the highest and lowest quintile components of four factor-based indices of the S&P 500 Index (each, a "Sub-Index," and together, the "Sub-Indices"), that seek to identify the components of the S&P 500 Index that most strongly exhibit a particular factor. The four factor groups are Momentum, Quality, Value, and Volatility.

The Index will include holdings for two of the following eight Sub-Indices:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Momentum** | **Quality** | **Value** | **Volatility** |
| **Highest Quintile** | S&P 500 Momentum Index | S&P 500<br>Quality Index | S&P 500<br>Enhanced Value Index | S&P 500<br>Volatility - Highest Quintile Index |
| **Lowest Quintile** | S&P 500<br>Momentum - Lowest Quintile Index | S&P 500<br>Quality - Lowest Quintile Index | S&P 500<br>Enhanced Value - Lowest Quintile Index | S&P 500<br>Low Volatility Index |

---

Each Sub-Index is composed of the 100 securities (a quintile) comprising the S&P 500 Index that most strongly exhibit the characteristic screened for by the Sub-Index. The S&P 500 is a free-float weighted index that measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. The S&P 500 includes approximately 500 leading companies and captures approximately 80% of the U.S. market capitalization. S&P Opco LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC) compiles, maintains, and calculates the S&P 500 Index and the Sub-Indices.

The Index utilizes Lunt Capital's proprietary relative strength analysis in its attempt to determine which two Sub-Indices are likely to exhibit better price performance than the other Sub-Indices. Pursuant to this methodology, the Index Provider calculates the "Risk Adjusted Score" for each Sub-Index. On the final trading day of each month, the Index Provider computes the relative strength of each Sub-Index by comparing each Sub-Index's Risk-Adjusted Score. The Index Provider considers a higher Risk-Adjusted Score to indicate greater relative strength. The Index is composed of the securities comprising the two Sub-Indices demonstrating the greatest relative strength unless such Sub-Indices include both the highest and lowest quintile from the same factor group, in which case only the Sub-Indices with the highest and third-highest Risk-Adjusted Score would be selected. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced monthly, except when the Index methodology would not result in a change in the Sub-Indices comprising the Index at such time.

*The Fund's Investment Strategy*

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large cap companies. The Fund considers a a company to be a "large cap company" at the time of purchase if it was included in the S&P 500 at any time within the prior 12 months. The Fund's investment 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.

The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**

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.

------

**▪ Alternator Strategy Risk.** Because the Index will be comprised of only two Sub-Indices each month, the Index may be comprised of securities during a period when such securities underperform the securities of one or more other Sub-Indices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Low Volatility Risk.* Low volatility investing entails investing in securities that are seen as having a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility stocks may not produce investment exposure that has lower variability to changes in such stocks' price levels. Low volatility stocks are likely to underperform the broader market during periods of rapidly rising stock prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Momentum Investing Risk.* Momentum investing is subject to the risk that the securities may be more volatile than the market as a whole, or that the returns on securities that previously have exhibited price momentum or proximity to price peaks are less than returns on other styles of investing. Momentum can turn quickly, and stocks that previously have exhibited high momentum may not experience continued positive momentum. In addition, investor perceptions of the value of a company may turn quickly, and stocks that have recently set multiple price peaks may not continue to do so, may be considered overvalued, and may decline faster than other investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Quality Investing Risk.* Securities that have previously been identified with quality characteristics may not continue to be quality companies, and the returns of such securities may be less than returns on other styles of investing. In addition, there may be periods when the quality style of investing is out of favor and therefore, the performance of the Fund may suffer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Value Investing Risk.* A "value" style of investing could produce poor results relative to other funds, even in a rising market, if the methodology used by the Index to determine a company's "value" or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong. In addition, "value stocks" can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

**▪ Calculation Methodology Risk.** The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund, the Index Provider, or the Adviser can offer assurances that the Index's calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included components or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

**▪ Equity Market Risk.** The equity securities held in the Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. The trading prices of equity securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. The Fund's NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time.

**▪ ETF Risks.** The Fund is an ETF and, as a result of an ETF's structure, is exposed to the following risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants ("APs"). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. APs are generally large institutional investors that have been authorized by the Fund's distributor to purchase and redeem large blocks of Shares (known as "Creation Units") pursuant to legal requirements by which the Fund may offer and redeem Shares. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares of the Fund may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process Creation Units and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Costs of Buying or Selling Shares*. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund's

------

NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Trading*. Although Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange") and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares.

▪ **High Portfolio Turnover Risk.** At times, the Fund may have a portfolio turnover rate substantially greater than 100%. A high portfolio turnover rate would result in correspondingly greater transaction expenses, including brokerage commissions, dealer mark ups and other transaction costs, on the sale of securities and on reinvestment in other securities and may result in reduced performance and the distribution to shareholders of additional capital gains for tax purposes.

**▪ Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The Fund may invest in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund's performance may be adversely affected if securities of large-capitalization companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

**▪** **Non-Diversification Risk.** Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Fund's volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund's performance.

**▪ Passive Investment Risk.** The Fund is not actively managed, and the Fund's investment 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.

**▪ 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.

---

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates during the period covered by the table above and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. In certain cases, the figure representing "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged accounts.

**Management**

*Investment Adviser*

Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser") serves as investment adviser to the Fund.

*Portfolio Managers*

The Fund employs a rules-based, passive investment strategy. The Adviser uses a committee approach to managing the Fund. Bruce Kavanaugh, Executive Vice President of the Adviser, and Danke Wang, CFA, FRM, Portfolio Manager for the Adviser, are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Mr. Kavanaugh has served as a portfolio manager since the Fund's inception and Mr. Wang has served as a portfolio manager since June 2022.

**Buying and Selling Fund Shares**

The Fund is an ETF. This means that individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market through brokers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

------

The Fund generally issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares known as "Creation Units," which only institutions or large investors may purchase or redeem. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash that the Fund specifies each day.

Investors may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (ask) when buying or selling Shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information about the Fund, including its net asset value, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available on the Fund's website at www.PacerETFs.com.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Distributions may be taxable upon withdrawal from tax-deferred accounts.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase the Fund through a broker or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser and its related companies may pay the intermediary for activities related to the marketing and promotion of the Fund. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
