Fidelity U.S. Value Index ETF

Fidelity U.S. Value Index ETF (FCUV.TO) Company Profile & Overview

The fund is passively managed to provide exposure to large- and mid-cap undervalued US stocks. The fund employs a smart beta investment and rules-based proprietary index methodology, to provide investors with exposure to targeted strategic factors. The starting universe is composed of the largest 1,000 US stocks. Stocks are screened further based on their composite factor score, which is based on free cash flow yield, EBITDA to enterprise value, tangible book value to price, and earnings over the next 12 months to price. In the case of banks, only return on equity and debt to assets are used for the calculation. Size bias is removed by blending the composite score with a size factor. Within each sector, securities are selected based on the size-adjusted composite score. Between 60 to 100 stocks are selected, and sector groups with higher return on invested capital are given more weight. The index is rebalanced semi-annually.
