Fidelity® ’Enhances’ ETF Lineup With Six New Active Equity Strategies and Reduced Pricing on Factor ETFs

Fidelity will Expand its Lineup to 64 ETFs, building on its $36 Billion in AUM

Fidelity Investments® today announced the launch of six new active equity ETFs, which will be available commission-free for individual investors and financial advisors through Fidelity’s online brokerage platforms on November 20, 2023. The new suite includes:

  • Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Core ETF (FELC);
  • Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETF (FELG);
  • Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Value ETF (FELV);
  • Fidelity Enhanced Mid Cap ETF (FMDE);
  • Fidelity Enhanced Small Cap ETF (FESM); and
  • Fidelity Enhanced International ETF (FENI).

The enhanced ETFs will be competitively priced with expense ratios ranging from 0.18% to 0.28%. Today, Fidelity also announced it reduced the total expense ratios of its 13 equity factor ETFs by nearly half, saving investors $6 million per year.

“Fidelity is committed to offering investors innovative ETFs to meet their evolving needs, including active, passive, and factor strategies,” said Greg Friedman, Fidelity’s Head of ETF Management and Strategy. “We continue to see demand for active ETFs as investors seek the potential for outperformance with the benefits of an ETF wrapper. The addition of these six active equity ETFs can serve as core building blocks for investors to meet this need.”

Fidelity Enhanced ETFs

In June 2023, Fidelity announced its plan to convert the actively managed Enhanced Index mutual fund suite, which was first launched in 2007, into ETFs. Each new transparent ETF will maintain the same investment objectives and be managed in the same manner as its former mutual fund counterpart. As part of the conversion, the new ETFs will also see price reductions by about half compared to the mutual funds. The total expense ratio for FELC, FELG, and FELV will be 0.18%, FMDE will be 0.23%, and FESM and FENI will be 0.28%. The funds have long-tenured co-managers Anna Lester, Max Kaufmann and Shashi Naik.

Each actively managed fund employs a proprietary, disciplined investment process that seeks to outperform its benchmark by, in general, quantitatively evaluating factors such as historical valuation, growth, profitability, and other factors. The portfolios are engineered to provide core equity exposure while seeking to produce consistent returns above their benchmarks.

Factor ETF Expense Ratio Reductions

Additionally, Fidelity has reduced pricing for all of its equity factor ETFs, which was effective earlier this month. The total expense ratio decreased from 0.29% to 0.15% for nine domestic factor ETFs, from 0.39% to 0.18% for three international factor ETFs, and from 0.45% to 0.25% for one emerging markets factor ETF.

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

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. The risks associated with the securities of companies that represent a disruptive theme include small or limited markets for such securities, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, rapid obsolescence, and government regulation. The securities of companies that rely heavily on technology tend to be more volatile and rapid changes to technologies affecting a company's products may adversely affect such company's results. The funds may have additional volatility because of their narrow concentration in specific industries and the companies within their disruptive themes. Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of stocks tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole.

The securities of smaller, less well known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.

Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole. They can remain undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

While active ETFs offer the potential to outperform an index, these products may more significantly trail an index as compared with passive ETFs.

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

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