"For investors, coming out of 2025 might be a lesson that volatility is here to stay, which makes how to tackle 2026 investment decisions all the more critical. Investing strategies that were once "set it and forget it" no longer apply, and neither does being able to put your money into a few single stocks and just watch for growth returns."
"Fidelity is a name that has long looked to separate itself from the competition, which is especially true as other firms have been racing to the bottom on fees for passive funds. Instead, with its ETF lineup, Fidelity is essentially doubling down by having an ETF selection that is built for investors who want the ease of exchange-traded funds but don't want to have to sit and worry about any kind of active management."
"This quality control mechanism helps Fidelity build out its portfolios to be performance-oriented, especially in an economic environment where interest rates remain uncertain and inflation, while declining, remains a wild card. The other good news is that Fidelity ETFs will do most of the investing work for you and help you target specific outcomes, such as higher income or lower volatility."
Persistent volatility and uncertain interest rates are changing investment norms, making passive, concentrated stock strategies less reliable. Fidelity emphasizes factor-based ETF strategies that apply strong screening criteria—such as strong cash flow, low debt, and positive momentum—to assemble performance-oriented portfolios. Those ETFs aim to reduce investor workload by providing built-in selection and targeting capabilities for outcomes like higher income or lower volatility. Fidelity's ETF lineup targets investors seeking ETF ease without active management burdens, and one highlighted option is a high dividend ETF designed to emphasize sustainable payouts rather than solely high yields.
