Inflation is back in the market narrative, with rising yields and Core CPI at 0.3% MoM, even before Trump's potentially inflationary policies take effect. Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF aims to benefit from inflation, with a diverse mix of large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks. FCPI has shown mixed performance, underperforming the S&P 500 overall but holding up better during high inflation periods like 2021 and 2022.
The Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF and Fidelity Dividend ETF For Rising Rates funds are designed for an inflationary environment. The former, FCPI, focuses on fundamentals and momentum, while the latter, FDRR, seeks dividends and correlation with treasury yields. FCPI has outperformed FDRR since its inception, but both funds have lagged the S&P 500 index.
The debate around economic resilience and the direction of inflation and interest rates continues into summer. Fidelity offers an array of ETFs to reflect your portfolio's position on the path of interest rates looking ahead.
