New Fidelity ETFs Focus on Crypto, Metaverse, ESG

by Shraddha Sharma

Fidelity Investments has launched four new exchange traded funds (ETFs) that focus on three growing investment trends: cryptocurrencies; the metaverse; and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. These funds are the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF (FDIG), the Fidelity Metaverse ETF (FMET), the Fidelity Sustainable Core Plus Bond ETF (FSBD), and the Fidelity Sustainable Low Duration Bond ETF (FSLD).

These four funds had inception dates of April 19, 2022. The Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF (FDIG) will not offer direct exposure to cryptocurrencies but will invest in companies that support the broader digital assets ecosystem.
