Our read on FUTY
AThe whole US power grid in one ticker. Fidelity tracks an all-cap MSCI utilities index, so mid- and small-cap operators ride along with the mega-cap names, at 0.08% a year.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Utilities Index.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.08% a year against a 0.37% median for broad utilities funds. That ties XLU on price and edges out VPU.
- The MSCI USA IMI Utilities Index reaches past the S&P 500 giants into mid- and small-cap utilities, roughly 70 names of power, gas and water.institutional.fidelity.com
- Plain index replication, running since 2013, with tracking that has stayed tight to the benchmark. No swaps, no options overlay, no clever wrapper.institutional.fidelity.com
- A multi-billion-dollar fund from a major issuer that pays out quarterly, and one of the stronger builds in the utilities group.
Worth knowing
- This is one sector, about 70 stocks. When utilities are out of favor, there is nowhere in the portfolio to hide.
- Moderately traded rather than the category's busiest tape, so limit orders are the sane habit on larger tickets.
- The all-cap reach cuts both ways: smaller utilities in the mix behave differently from the household-name giants that dominate S&P 500-only rivals.
