Fidelity Investments has expanded its offerings of alternative investments with the addition of a managed futures ETF.
Fidelity launched the Fidelity Managed Futures ETF (FFUT) on Nasdaq/NMS Global Market on June 5. The new managed futures ETF is a liquid alternative strategy. It aims to capitalize on market trends through disciplined, systematic long/short investing. FFUT is available commission-free for individual investors and financial advisors through Fidelity’s online brokerage platforms.
The new managed futures strategy is designed to provide clients with an investment option that can help diversify their portfolios with the ease of an ETF wrapper, Roberto Croce, portfolio manager of Fidelity Managed Futures ETF at Fidelity, said in a statement.
“Fidelity continues to bring its in-house expertise into the ETF market with innovative strategies,” said Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi. “It has seen strong demand thus far in 2025, and we think tit is positioned for further growth.”
FFUT’s investment strategy focuses on capital appreciation in all market conditions. Fidelity’s managed futures ETF aims to generate strong risk-adjusted returns, especially when equity markets decline. In an effort to reach this objective, FFUT employs a strategy designed to identify and capitalize on sustained price trends, whether upward or downward, across a diverse range of markets. These include equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities. Finally, the fund uses futures, forwards, and other derivatives to implement this approach.
“Fidelity’s robust quantitative research, sophisticated investment capabilities, and disciplined investment process help us provide a differentiated strategy,” Croce said.
Furthermore, the ETF has a competitive price, with an estimated gross expense ratio of 0.83% and estimated net expense ratio of 0.80%, according to the firm.
