Understanding the Tailwinds for Fidelity's International ETFs
As investors seek out attractive opportunities in the current market, international ETFs are gaining favor among many. Europe and other developed-market equities were the top-performing regions during the first quarter, with each benefiting from a weaker dollar.
FENI: A Developed Market ETF With Good Performance
FENI is an actively managed ETF investing in large-cap developed market stocks with a lower expense ratio than EFA and low concentration risk. FENI has outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index over the past decade, achieving higher total returns through a systematic, multifactor approach. Despite strong returns, FENI's lower technology sector exposure may limit performance in tech-driven market rallies compared to EFG.
