For many investors, building a diversified portfolio is one of the first steps in investing. Fidelity Investments' extensive range of ETFs offers a powerful toolkit to achieve this.

FELV is an actively managed ETF focused on inexpensive large-cap stocks. Since its conversion in November 2023, it has beaten a few value-centered peers with ease but trailed the S&P 500 ETF. With 359 equities and BRK.B as the key holding, its portfolio sports material quality exposure and 5.2% adjusted weighted-average earnings yield. Growth exposure is subpar, though.

Many investors look to large-cap growth or value ETFs for core equity exposure. Fidelity has two funds in its Enhanced ETF suite that may be able to add a growth or value tilt to a portfolio's equity exposure: the Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETF (FELG) and the Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Value ETF (FELV).

Cost is one reason why investors may prefer the ETF wrapper over mutual funds for active high-yield bond exposure. ETFs charge shareholders an expense ratio, which pays for fund management and operations.

Many opportunities exist for advisors and investors looking to increase their value allocations or simply diversify their large-cap exposures heading into the end of the year. Fidelity offers value investing in several different strategy types to complement a variety of equity portfolios.

Fidelity Investments is making changes to its active high yield ETF, effectively lowering costs for investors. The fund's name changed from The Fidelity High Yield Factor ETF to the Fidelity Enhanced High Yield ETF on Oct. 10.

While some debate the merits of active versus passive investment, advisors and investors no longer have to choose one over the other. The Fidelity Enhanced ETFs offer the best of both worlds by providing exposures similar to core equity benchmarks but with the benefits of active management.

Many funds exist for equity investors, but few combine the benefits of core exposures alongside active management. The Fidelity Enhanced ETF suite seeks to outperform its benchmarks through its active strategy.

A plethora of strategies exist for investors looking for core equity exposure, but investors may want to consider the Fidelity Enhanced ETF equity suite. These ETFs, converted from mutual funds last November, carried over 15 years of trading for the strategies while seeking to outperform their various benchmarks.

Last year saw active investing take the ETF universe by storm. From the ETF rule's arrival back in 2019 to a growing trend of mutual fund conversions, active ETFs have gained significant interest with their goal to navigate volatility and seek outperformance.
