What this ETF is trying to do

The PACER Industrial Real Estate ETF (INDS) focuses on investing in industrial real estate. This means it holds companies that own and manage properties like warehouses and storage facilities. Its Top Holdings include companies such as Prologis Inc (14.94%), Extra Space Storage Inc (14.64%), and Public Storage (14.59%). These holdings were updated on October 7, 2026.

What the numbers show

As of October 5, 2026, the current price of one share is $37.10. To understand how the fund has performed, we look at two different types of returns: price return (the change in share price) and total return (which includes both price changes and cash distributions).

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 1.15%, while the total return is 3.35%.

• One Year: The price return is -1.90%, but the total return is 2.65%.

• Three Year: The price return is 8.19%, and the total return is 18.64%.

An estimated price from roughly one year ago was $37.82. If you had invested $10,000 based on that estimated price, the price-only decline of -1.90% would mean your investment's share value would be approximately $9,810 (before counting any cash distributions).

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF pays out cash to investors, usually every quarter. Over the last 12 months, it had 4 payouts totaling $1.75 per share. This results in a distribution yield of approximately 4.71%.

It is important for beginners to know that a high distribution yield alone can be misleading. It shows how much cash is being paid out relative to the price, but it does not guarantee that the total value of your investment is growing.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the actual value of the assets inside an ETF drops over time. To measure this risk, StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score.

This ETF has an erosion score of 94, which is labeled as "Stable / sideways" with "good" severity. Additionally, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, meaning the fund's price trend and score did not trigger a severe warning.

Pros

• Positive Total Returns: While the share price was slightly down over the last year, the total return remained positive.

• Stability: The erosion-risk score suggests the fund's value has been stable or moving sideways.

• Regular Income: The fund provides quarterly cash distributions.

Cons

• Price Decline: The one-year price return is negative (-1.90%).

• Long-term Dip: The five-year total return is -2.23%.

Beginner takeaway

The INDS ETF allows investors to own a piece of industrial real estate. While the share price can go up or down, the total return is often higher than the price return because of the cash distributions paid to shareholders. Investors generally look for principal stability to ensure their original investment doesn't disappear while they collect income.
