Fidelity Launches Three New Liquid Alts ETFs for Enhanced Stocks
In response to growing investor demand for products that offer both downside protection and income growth potential, Loyalty Investments introduced three new exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Actively managed ETFs, namely Fidelity Dynamic Buffered Equity ETF (FBUF), Fidelity Hedged Equity ETF (FHEQ), and Fidelity Yield Enhanced Equity ETF (FYEE), are designed to combine an underlying stock portfolio with option layers.
Expanding Fidelity’s Alternative Offering
This launch expands Fidelity’s suite of liquid alternative investments driven by market demand for innovative investment solutions. Bill Irving, chief of Fidelity Asset Management Solutions, has observed clients’ growing appetite to hedge equity holdings against market declines as they seek greater income bets. Irving stated that these were new ETFs Fidelity is likely to provide investors with opportunities to reduce risk, reduce volatility or increase return through approaches supported by active management knowledge.
The new ETFs are based on a core U.S. stock approach with the goal of outperforming the S&P 500 Index. The multifactor model used by Fidelity aims to find companies with attractive valuations and strong quality metrics. This method guarantees a close correlation of the risk profile of each ETF with the benchmark index.
Features of New ETFs
Fidelity Dynamic Buffered Equity ETF (FBUF) uses a mix of call writing and put buying strategies to create a dynamic “collar” designed to deliver defensive investment positions. This approach focuses on providing significant downside protection, but there is also the possibility of suppressing upside participation.
Fidelity-Hedged Equity ETF (FHEQ), on the other hand, is a fund that aims to hedge against major market declines by purchasing put options at various expirations and strike prices. This ETF is designed to appeal to investors who want to participate in market rallies but may experience underperformance in low volatility or range-bound markets.
Finally, the Fidelity Yield Enhanced Equity ETF (FYEE) is intended to generate a relatively high distribution yield by participating in a dynamic covered call writing. Such an approach allows investors to benefit from increased income. However, it puts a positive limit on the performance of the stock portfolio if the market rises above the strike price of the call options.
Among the management teams of these companies ETFs, co-managers are Eric Granat, Anna Lester, George Liu, Mitch Livstone and Shashi Naik, and they have a wealth of expertise. These ETFs are well priced in the market, with estimated net total expense ratios of 0.48% for FBUF and FHEQ and 0.28% for FYEE.
