Fidelity MSCI Utilities ETF
Fidelity MSCI Utilities ETF (FUTY) is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with exposure to large- and mid-cap companies in the utilities sector by tracking an MSCI utilities index. It offers a single-ticket way to gain diversified exposure to electricity, gas, water and multi-utility companies rather than owning individual stocks. Investors should note it is an equity-sector ETF, so performance typically correlates with utilities industry cycles, interest-rate moves and regulatory developments. The fund may pay dividends derived from underlying holdings, but yields and distributions can vary. Costs such as the expense ratio and trading spreads affect returns — check the fund’s prospectus for up-to-date fees. Liquidity and tracking error are additional considerations: ETFs trade like stocks and can deviate from their benchmark in the short term. This summary is for general education only and not investment advice; investors should consider their goals, risk tolerance and consult a financial professional if needed.
