Fidelity Enhanced Small Cap Value ETF (FSEV) is an actively managed U.S. equity ETF investing primarily in small-cap value stocks drawn from the Russell 2000 Value Index; the fund aims to deliver capital appreciation by selecting companies with low price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth, using a research-driven framework and a defined portfolio construction and risk management process. The fund seeks to provide exposure to U.S. small-cap value opportunities by focusing on valuation, quality, and long-term drivers of stock returns, with a portfolio designed to be broadly diversified within the Russell 2000 Value universe.
