Fidelity Yield Enhanced Equity ETF (FYEE) is a US-domiciled exchange-traded fund that aims to deliver enhanced yield through a systematic covered-call overlay layered on Fidelity’s Enhanced Large Cap Core strategy, targeting income generation without adding duration risk. The fund primarily invests in large-cap U.S. equities and writes call options on a weekly, rules-based schedule to monetize option premiums while maintaining equity exposure, with dynamic option-roll capabilities to adjust risk and income in response to market conditions. FYEE seeks a targeted distribution yield in the mid-single to high-single digits, supported by the option overlay and selective equity positioning, and distributes income to shareholders on a quarterly basis.
