(FSTA) Fidelity MSCI Consumer - Overview

The Fidelity® MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF (FSTA) allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities that are part of the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Staples 25/50 Index, which tracks the U.S. consumer-staples sector. While the fund may not hold every constituent, its exposure is tightly linked to the index, and it is classified as a non-diversified, consumer-defensive ETF.

As of January 2026, the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Staples 25/50 Index posted a year-to-date return of roughly 6.4%, with an average dividend yield of 2.9% and a sector-wide price-to-earnings ratio of 18.3, reflecting modest earnings growth despite lingering inflation pressures. Recent data from the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Survey shows a 3-point rise in confidence for essential goods, supporting stable demand for staples, while the Fed’s latest policy guidance suggests a gradual easing of interest rates, which could further buoy defensive equities.
