Buxton Opera House Villages appear out of thin air, broomsticks take flight and owls turn into people in a truly enchanting showcase of theatrical storytelling If you catch a young audience member at just the right moment, when they are old enough to be fully engaged but not so old that the sharp edges of teenage cynicism have begun to slink into view, you can make them truly believe in the magic of theatre. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is the kind of show that will make them – and possibly some adults – believe in magic. To begin by praising the lighting design may seem odd, but this is one of the most effectively lit pieces of theatre you might see. Lighting designer Simon Bond’s barn doors, gels and gobos are integral to creating the many illusions on the stage. Director Paul Bosco McEneaney was a magician before turning his hand to theatre directing and he empties out a bag of tricks on to the stage of the jewel-like Buxton Opera House. Continue reading...

simonkr/E+ via Getty Images Introduction to the Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF The Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF ( GCOW ), which is backed by Pacer Advisors, Inc. (a Pennsylvania-based investment management firm), completed a decade as a listed product in February 2026. GCOW, which is priced at an expense ratio of 0.6%, has accumulated aggregate assets under management of $3.3 billion over its lifetime. This ETF pays dividends on a quarterly basis, with the annualized yield amounting to 4.4%. How Is GCOW Built? GCOW passively tracks an index called the Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend Index (PGCCDI), which is crafted and maintained by an affiliate of Pacer Advisors, Inc. called the Index Design Group. PGCCD follows a rules-based strategy to construct its portfolio, and its base universe is the FTSE All-World Developed Large Cap Index, which consists of 1000 stocks in total. Stocks that are part of the financial sector, or those with negative projected (over each of the next two fiscal years, if available) free cash flow (FCF) or negative earnings, are weeded out. In the next stage, the top 300 stocks are ranked on a trailing twelve-month FCF yield basis. Note that unlike the popular route of gauging trailing twelve-month free cash flow relative to the stock’s respective “market capitalization,” PGCCD takes into consideration the broader metric of “enterprise value” in its denominator. Pacer ETFs Those 300 stocks are then narrowed down to just 100 stocks on the basis of their trailing dividend yields, and the eventual 100 stocks are then assigned individual weights based on the quantum of annual dividends they have paid (over the last 12 months). Despite supporting strong dividend payers, the chances of seeing high concentration effects in this portfolio are quite limited, as GCOW imposes a maximum stock cap of 2% during its semi-annual rebalancing schedule (which takes place every June and December). Pacer ETFs What Are The Main Traits Of GCOW's Portfolio?...
