FQAL: Strong Profitability, Track Record Remains Subdued
FQAL delivers a high-quality portfolio with strong profitability metrics, neutral sector allocation, and a focus on large-cap, mega-cap U.S. stocks. Despite solid fundamentals and lower volatility, FQAL has consistently lagged the Russell 1000 and most quality ETF peers.

FQAL: Quality Does Not Necessarily Mean Growth
Fidelity Quality Factor ETF focuses on quality U.S. large-cap and mid-cap stocks but has underperformed the S&P 500 since inception. FQAL's sector allocation, concentration, and downside risks are similar to the S&P 500, but it has a higher exposure to mid-cap and small-cap stocks. The fund's underperformance is due to lower exposure to growth stocks; it may outperform in a lower rate environment favoring smaller-cap equities.
