Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF is a passively managed ETF currently offering exposure to 126 common stocks with a weighted average 24-month beta of 0.78. FDLO is beating IVV in 2026 amid the capital rotation yet lagging low volatility-focused vehicles like SPLV and LGLV. The issue is that FDLO has more in common with IVV than with SPLV, including exposure to the trillion-dollar league.

The Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF targets large U.S. stocks with low price and earnings volatility, aiming for market-like returns with reduced risk. FDLO has lagged the Russell 1000 in both total and risk-adjusted returns since inception, particularly over the past year.

The fourth quarter of 2025 may bring high hopes of a year-end rally to end the year. However, ongoing market uncertainty could make it a bumpy ride to the finish.
