Fidelity® Launches Managed Futures ETF

New Active ETF Adds to Fidelity’s Rapidly Growing $41 Billion Alternative Investments Lineup

Fidelity Investments^® today announced the launch of Fidelity Managed Futures ETF (FFUT), a liquid alternative strategy that aims to capitalize on market trends through disciplined, systematic long-short investing. FFUT is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and available today commission-free for individual investors and financial advisors through Fidelity’s online brokerage platforms.

“The new managed futures strategy is designed to provide clients with an investment option that can help diversify their portfolios with the ease of an ETF wrapper,” said Roberto Croce, portfolio manager of Fidelity Managed Futures ETF at Fidelity Investments. “Fidelity’s robust quantitative research, sophisticated investment capabilities, and disciplined investment process help us provide a differentiated strategy.”

FFUT seeks capital appreciation across market regimes, while aiming to provide especially attractive risk adjusted returns during periods of equity market drawdowns. In an effort to achieve its investment objective, the fund pursues a strategy intended to capture the persistence of price trends (up and/or down) in a broad set of markets — including equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities — utilizing futures, forwards and other derivatives.

“Our team has access to enormous amounts of data, world-class research, and top talent to help uncover new investing opportunities and build advanced systematic strategies, including Fidelity Managed Futures ETF,” said Neil Constable, head of Quantitative Research and Investments at Fidelity Investments.

The ETF is competitively priced with an estimated gross expense ratio of 0.83% and estimated net expense ratio of 0.80%.

Risks for Fidelity Managed Futures ETF

The fund uses investment techniques that are different from the risks ordinarily associated with traditional equity investments and are considered complex trading strategies. Such techniques and strategies include the use of derivatives, short sales, leverage, and investments in commodities and commodity-linked securities. Short sales pose more risk than long positions. Because a short position loses value as the security's price increases, the loss on a short sale is theoretically unlimited. Regulatory bans on certain short selling activities may prevent a fund from fully implementing its strategy. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. The fund’s use of futures, forward contracts, options, swaps, and other derivative instruments may result in losses. The value of these derivative instruments may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments and may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the fund. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Moreover, a relatively small price movement in a derivative contract may result in substantial losses to the fund, exceeding the amount of the margin paid. The use of derivatives can increase the fund’s risk exposure to underlying assets and their attendant risks, while also exposing the fund to the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as anticipated with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, thereby reducing their effectiveness.

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk and inflation risk.

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.

Investment in Fidelity Managed Futures Cayman Ltd., an unregistered subsidiary, is not subject to the investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and is subject to the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general.

The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.

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.

These alternative investment strategies may not be suitable for all investors and are not intended to be a complete investment program for any investor.
