Description: FSMD Fidelity Small-Mid Factor

The Fidelity Small-Mid Factor ETF (FSMD) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that tracks the Fidelity Small-Mid Multifactor Index, committing at least 80% of its assets to the securities held in that underlying benchmark. The index is constructed to capture U.S. small- and mid-capitalization companies that screen well across four investment factors: attractive valuations, high quality fundamentals, positive price momentum, and lower volatility relative to the broader U.S. equity market.

As a multifactor strategy, the fund employs a rules-based methodology that systematically tilts toward stocks exhibiting multiple desired characteristics simultaneously, rather than relying on a single factor or active stock-picking. The benchmark it is measured against, the Fidelity U.S. Extended Investable Market Index, covers a broad swath of U.S. stocks across all market capitalizations, providing a comprehensive reference for evaluating the funds factor tilts. Listed on the NYSE and categorized within the small-blend segment, FSMD offers investors targeted exposure to the small-to-mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity market through a transparent, index-driven approach.

  • Small-cap valuations re-rate as Fed pivots to rate cuts
  • Multifactor tilt benefits from quality and momentum rotation
  • Mid-cap M&A activity lifts small-mid index constituents
