The Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF (FBCV) is an actively managed fund that invests in large cap companies that are priced below their expected long-term value. It is one of Fidelity’s contributions to the new space of actively managed, non-transparent ETFs. Would-be issuers lobbied regulators for years for permission to introduce ETFs run by stock pickers that don’t disclose their holdings. Firms like Fidelity wanted to protect their secret sauce from prying eyes. Fidelity was among a handful of firms that won approval in 2019. It remains to be seen whether ETF investors will be as excited as issuers about the prospect. An investment in an active fund is ultimately a bet on the manager’s ability to outperform the market — something many stock pickers fail to achieve. That’s a big reason why the biggest winners in the ETF marketplace have been cheap and transparent index products. FBCV, which debuted in June 2020, is reasonably priced for active management, though it looks expensive in an industry dominated by ultra-low-cost index funds. Investors might compare its performance to U.S. and global-stock value index funds like the iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF (EFV), Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF (SCHV), and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV).
