FQAL: Quality Does Not Necessarily Mean Growth
Fidelity Quality Factor ETF focuses on quality U.S. large-cap and mid-cap stocks but has underperformed the S&P 500 since inception. FQAL's sector allocation, concentration, and downside risks are similar to the S&P 500, but it has a higher exposure to mid-cap and small-cap stocks. The fund's underperformance is due to lower exposure to growth stocks; it may outperform in a lower rate environment favoring smaller-cap equities.

FQAL: The Sector-Neutral Methodology May Be A Drag
Fidelity Quality Factor ETF has a portfolio of 125 stocks with quality characteristics, focused on large caps. The track record of FQAL is uncompelling: it has lagged the benchmark since its inception in 2016, and several quality factor ETFs since 2018. The sector-neutral methodology may be a drag: large cap quality ETFs with flexible sector weights have performed better.
