Insights

The launch of five new actively managed equity ETFs marks a significant expansion of Fidelity's ETF lineup, demonstrating their strategic push into the growing active ETF market. The competitive expense ratios ranging from 0.18% to 0.60% position these products well against peers. The reduction in fees for their high yield ETF from 0.45% to 0.35% shows commitment to cost competitiveness.

Notable is the 123% increase in advisor allocation to active ETFs since 2022, with 29% of advisors now using these products. This rapid adoption, combined with Fidelity's total ETF assets of $93 billion, indicates strong market demand and potential for growth. The combination of fundamental and quantitative approaches in these new products offers sophisticated investment strategies in an accessible ETF wrapper.

The Enhanced ETF suite's proprietary approach combining traditional factors with non-traditional considerations represents an innovative evolution in quantitative investing. The Fundamental ETF suite's methodology of aggregating high-conviction ideas from multiple managers creates a unique value proposition in the active ETF space.

Most significant is the timing - these launches align with the broader industry shift toward active management in ETFs, addressing growing demand for sophisticated strategies with the tax efficiency and liquidity benefits of the ETF structure. The competitive pricing strategy could accelerate adoption among cost-conscious investors seeking active management benefits.

New International and Domestic Strategies Expand Fidelity ETF Lineup to More than 70 Products

Demand for Active ETF Strategies in Client Portfolios Continues to Grow

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fidelity Investments® today announced the launch of five actively managed equity ETFs: Fidelity® Enhanced U.S. All-Cap Equity ETF (FEAC), Fidelity® Enhanced Emerging Markets ETF (FEMR), Fidelity® Fundamental Developed International ETF (FFDI), Fidelity® Fundamental Global ex-U.S. ETF (FFGX), and Fidelity® Fundamental Emerging Markets ETF (FFEM). The Enhanced and Fundamental ETFs are listed on NYSE and Cboe, respectively, and are available commission-free for individual investors and financial advisors through Fidelity’s online brokerage platforms today. The five new ETFs build upon Fidelity’s Enhanced ETF suite which launched in November 2023 and its Fundamental ETF suite which launched in February 2024.

“The expansion of Fidelity’s core active equity suites speaks to our ability to combine the best of our fundamental and quantitative teams to deliver differentiated actively managed investment products,” said Greg Friedman, Head of ETF Management and Strategy at Fidelity Investments. “The new Enhanced and Fundamental strategies aim to provide additional choice for customers, including those who are looking for domestic all cap, international, emerging markets, and developed markets strategies, as evidenced by the rapidly growing ETF market.”

Fidelity Enhanced and Fundamental ETFs

The Enhanced ETF suite employs a proprietary, disciplined actively managed investment process that quantitatively evaluates factors such as valuation, growth, profitability, momentum, and other non-traditional considerations. The Fundamental ETF suite seeks to extract and combine high conviction investment ideas from multiple Fidelity fundamental active managers, employing a proprietary, disciplined investment process and a quantitative portfolio construction process. To learn more about these ETF suites, read Fidelity’s latest white papers, An enhanced approach to core equity ETFs and Uncovering alpha insights with core equity ETFs.

The portfolio management team for the two new Enhanced ETFs includes co-managers Satyajit Chandrashekar, Anna Lester, George Liu, and Shashi Naik, and for the three new Fundamental ETFs includes co-managers Tim Gannon, Michael Kim, and Ned Salter. The products are competitively priced with a gross expense ratio of 0.18% for FEAC, 0.38% for FEMR, 0.55% for FFDI and FFGX, and 0.60% for FFEM.

Updates to Fidelity’s High Yield ETF

Fidelity also made enhancements to its active high yield ETF, which were effective last month. The fund’s total expense ratio decreased from 0.45% to 0.35%, and the fund was renamed from Fidelity High Yield Factor ETF to Fidelity Enhanced High Yield ETF (FDHY), better reflecting the fund’s active investment strategy. FDHY seeks a high level of income and may also seek capital appreciation and uses a quantitative, rules-based approach to exploit market inefficiencies.

“Pricing, service, and research capabilities among other factors are part of our ongoing commitment to provide superior value to investors,” said Friedman.

Active ETF Allocation on the Rise Across Advisor Portfolios

Fidelity’s Portfolio Construction team analyzes thousands of professionally managed investment portfolios annually, fueling its Portfolio Construction Insights on the latest portfolio trends among advisors. One notable trend is the rise in active ETF allocation, as the vehicle may be an attractive option for advisors looking for tax efficiencies, low costs, and intraday liquidity. This year[i], 29% of advisors have some allocation to active ETFs, a 123% increase from 2022. In addition to the benefits of the investment approach, the new Enhanced and Fundamental active ETFs can provide advisors with the flexibility to focus on broader market exposure or allocate more tactically within asset classes. For advisors interested in learning more on constructing portfolios with active ETFs, read Fidelity’s latest white paper, Building modern multi-asset class portfolios with active ETFs.

Fidelity’s Growing Exchange-Traded Platform

Fidelity’s exchange-traded lineup consists of 76 ETFs and ETPs with $93 billion in assets under management[ii], including 30 actively managed equity ETFs, 13 fixed income ETFs, 13 equity factor ETFs, six passive thematic ETFs, 11 passive equity sector ETFs, and Fidelity ONEQ. Fidelity also launched two of the industry’s first spot ethereum and spot bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) this year, Fidelity® Ethereum Fund (FETH) and Fidelity® Wise Origin® Bitcoin fund (FBTC), that seek to track the performance of ethereum and bitcoin, respectively.

Spot crypto ETPs, such as FBTC and FETH, are not investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) nor are they commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (the “CEA”). As a result, shareholders of spot crypto ETPs do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in a registered investment company nor are shareholders afforded the protections of investing in an CEA-regulated instrument or commodity pool.

FBTC and FETH are for investors with a high risk tolerance and invest in a single cryptocurrency, which are highly volatile and could become illiquid. Investors could lose their entire investment. To learn more about Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, see the fund’s prospectus. To learn more about Fidelity Ethereum Fund, see the fund’s prospectus.

As part of Fidelity's commitment to financial education, the company offers a variety of resources to help investors review exchange-traded investing ideas, decide which types of exchange-traded offerings may fit their investing needs, or browse offerings with Fidelity’s screeners: fidelity.com/etfs/investing-in-etfs or institutional.fidelity.com/advisors/investment-solutions/performance/fidelity-etfs. As a leading provider of exchange-traded offerings, Fidelity’s platform offers individual investors and advisors access to more than 3,500 exchange-traded offerings, with more than $1.5 trillion in exchange-traded client assets [iii].

Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money.

ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses.

Digital assets are highly volatile, and their market movements are very difficult to predict. Various market forces may impact their value including, but not limited to, supply and demand, investors' faith and their willingness to purchase it using traditional currencies, investors' expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, an evolving legislative and regulatory environment in the U.S. and abroad, and other economic trends. Investors also face other risks, including significant and negative price swings, flash crashes, and fraud and cybersecurity risks. Digital assets may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities.

The performance of the Fund will not reflect the specific return an investor would realize if the investor actually purchased bitcoin. Investors in the Fund will not have any rights that bitcoin holders have and will not have the right to receive any redemption proceeds in bitcoin.

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Foreign markets can be more volatile than U.S. markets due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, market, or economic developments, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. These risks are particularly significant for investments that focus on a single country or region. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes in the factors' historical trends. Securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities loaned in a timely manner or at all. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. An ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its Net Asset Value (NAV).

Before investing in any exchange-traded fund, you should consider its investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus, or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
