Our read on FCOM
BCommunication services without the mega-cap chokehold: FCOM tracks an MSCI index that reaches past the giants into mid and small caps, with 25/50 caps on the biggest names, for 0.08% a year.
The fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Communication Services 25/50 Index.
Why people hold it
- 0.08% a year against a 0.37% median for the group: level with XLC, a hair under VOX.
- About 110 holdings through MSCI's investable market index, so mid and small cap media and telecom names ride along, not just the household giants.
- The index's 25/50 caps limit how heavy any single position can get, a guardrail in a sector where a few names carry most of the weight.
- Running since 2013 in Fidelity's index lineup, and it has tracked its benchmark closely, one of the stronger implementations in its peer group.
Worth knowing
- Communication services is a narrow slice of the market, and the same handful of search, streaming and telecom giants dominate it however the weights are capped.
- Moderately traded rather than the category's volume leader, so spreads can run wider than at the busiest fund on the shelf.
- Distributions arrive quarterly, and the mandate is sector exposure, not income.
