With Fidelity At The Forefront, The Active Equity ETF Revolution Continues To Pick Up Steam

Let's Talk ETFs

When Fidelity rolled out its first semi-transparent active equity ETFs in June 2020, it was far from certain these new types of ETFs would resonate with investors. With $350M in assets between FBCV, FBCG and FMIL just seven months in, Fidelity's Greg Friedman has termed the initial interest in Fidelity's semi-transparent active equity ETFs "better than anticipated". Greg re-joins Let's Talk ETFs to discuss the famed asset manager's next steps in the semi-transparent active ETF space, including four ETFs going live this week.
