FDIG: The Underwhelming Underachiever
FDIG offers low expenses and diversified crypto equity exposure, but lacks the asymmetric upside seen in top-performing peers like BLOK or pure Bitcoin. The ETF's holdings are highly correlated with Bitcoin, benefiting from bull markets but also exposed to sharp drawdowns if sentiment reverses. FDIG's construction prioritizes lower volatility, which limits participation in strong rallies and results in inferior risk-adjusted returns versus competitors.
Why FDIG Will Continue To Lag Behind Crypto And Single Stock Picks
Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF remains inefficient, underperforming both its main holdings and direct investments in BTC, due to structural index constraints. The FDIG fund's design caps upside by limiting exposure to outperforming stocks like Coinbase, forcing rebalancing into weaker holdings. I don't see a role for FDIG for people wanting broad crypto exposure - this is not a space where such strategy can generate good returns. Especially not with FDIG.
FDIG: Cheap, But Too Much Coinbase
The Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF is heavily correlated with Bitcoin and primarily invests in crypto-related stocks, including Coinbase and Bitcoin miners. Despite a bullish outlook on Bitcoin, I have concerns about FDIG's heavy exposure to Coinbase, which I currently don't favor. FDIG's price relative to Bitcoin is down 33% since July, making it cheap relative to Bitcoin, but key support levels must hold.

Overview
The fund is a financial vehicle primarily focused on investing in the burgeoning sector of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and digital payment processing. By allocating at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that are part of its designated index, as well as in depositary receipts representing such securities, the fund aims to mirror the performance of its underlying index. This index is meticulously crafted to capture the dynamics and growth prospects of a global ensemble of companies that are deeply involved in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and related blockchain innovations, along with those pioneering in digital payments. Operating with a non-diversified strategy, the fund concentrates its investments, seeking to tap into the high-growth potential of its target sectors.
Products and Services
- Equity Security Investments
This entails the fund's primary activity of investing in stocks or equity securities of companies that are included in the fund's index. These companies are selected based on their active engagement in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. By leveraging equity investments, the fund seeks to gain exposure to the growth potential of these companies.
- Depositary Receipts
As part of its strategy, the fund also invests in depositary receipts, which are negotiable financial instruments issued by a bank to represent a foreign company's publicly traded securities. This approach allows the fund to invest in foreign companies related to blockchain and cryptocurrency, thus diversifying its geographic exposure within its focused sector.
- Non-Diversified Strategy
The fund's non-diversified nature implies that it may concentrate its investments in a smaller number of issuers or sectors compared to diversified funds. This strategy is deliberately chosen to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities within the focused area of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and digital payments. Despite the higher risk from a less diversified portfolio, the potential for substantial returns is deemed to justify this concentrated approach.
