Effective February 26, 2024, Fidelity® Growth Opportunities ETF and Fidelity® New Millennium ETF will undergo the following changes:
Each fund will operate as a traditional ETF in reliance on Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, each fund will disclose its complete portfolio holdings daily. Each fund will no longer operate pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission and will no longer be limited by conditions in the order, including limitations on the investments permitted under the order.
Each fund will adopt a policy of normally investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations (which, for purposes of the fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000® Index or the S&P 500® Index).
Each fund's investment process will be modified as follows:
In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser starts with fundamental analyst research and security recommendations, and reference portfolios managed by the Adviser that are based on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of fundamental factors such as its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions. The Adviser then applies a quantitative portfolio construction process designed to emphasize securities in which the Adviser has high conviction subject to appropriate security and portfolio-level risk, liquidity, and trading characteristics. The Adviser expects that the portfolio construction process will generally involve less frequent trading than the reference portfolios.
Effective February 26, 2024, Fidelity® Fundamental Large Cap Growth ETF will be jointly and primarily managed by a team of Tim Gannon (Co-Portfolio Manager), Michael Kim (Co-Portfolio Manager), and Risteard Hogan (Co-Portfolio Manager).
Effective February 26, 2024, Fidelity® Fundamental Large Cap Core ETF will be jointly and primarily managed by a team of Camille Carlstrom (Co-Portfolio Manager), Tim Gannon (Co-Portfolio Manager), and Michael Kim (Co-Portfolio Manager).
Effective February 26, 2024, Tom Hense will be added as a Co-Portfolio Manager for Fidelity® Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF.
