Fidelity Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF

Small- and mid-cap (SMID cap) ETFs have seen strong flows recently, making it important that investors fully understand why moving down the cap spectrum can make sense in a falling rate environment. In short, small-and mid-cap stocks, or SMID caps, are more sensitive to interest rates and economic conditions than larger companies.

The market regime may continue to shift in response to easing rates, potentially serving as a catalyst for SMIDcap and mid-cap companies. The rate cut cycle is expected to provide more relief for smaller and more leveraged companies needing more access to capital markets than larger companies.

Rate Cuts Benefit These 2 Equity Categories

Lower interest rates are expected to improve the outlook for small and mid-cap stocks, making FSMD a suitable investment in this environment. FSMD's multifactor approach has delivered superior returns and lower volatility compared to benchmarks like the S&P MidCap 400 and Russell 2000 indices. FSMD's diversified allocation and reasonable valuation, with a P/E ratio of 16.0x, position it favorably among small and mid-cap ETFs.

As the Federal Reserve turned its eye from inflation to protecting the labor market at August's Jackson Hole meeting, markets rose in hopes of rate cuts beginning at the end of the third quarter. A falling rate environment may prove particularly supportive for small-cap stocks.

Passively managed FSMD applies a multifactor approach to small- and mid-cap stocks. The factors amalgamated are value, quality, low volatility, and momentum. The current iteration of the FSMD portfolio features chiefly mid-cap stocks with healthy value characteristics. Industrials and financials are the top sectors. Quality is mostly adequate, yet there are weaknesses on the capital efficiency front.
