Our read on each fund

FDMOBFidelity Momentum Factor ETF

USCAAXtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF

In short

FDMO Momentum, house-built. FDMO tracks Fidelity's own US momentum index (about 130 stocks with the wind at their back) for 0.15% a year, roughly half what the typical US factor ETF charges.

USCA The largest US ETF debut on record when it launched in 2023, seeded by a Finnish pension fund. It owns roughly 400 US large- and mid-caps, keeping only the top half of each sector on MSCI's climate-transition scoring, for 0.07% a year.

Stated mandate

FDMO The fund seeks returns that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the Fidelity U.S. Momentum Factor Index.

USCA The fund seeks to track the MSCI USA Climate Action Index before fees and expenses through a passive indexing strategy. The index selects U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies assessed as leading sector peers in climate-transition positioning and actions.

Why people hold it

  • FDMO 0.15% a year against a 0.28% median for US factor ETFs, so the momentum tilt starts with a smaller fee hurdle than most of the cohort.
  • Fidelity builds the index it tracks, so the momentum recipe and the fund come from one shop instead of a licensed outside benchmark.
  • Trading since 2016, which means a real record through the 2020 crash and the 2022 selloff rather than a backtest.
  • Sits in the upper half of its US factor peer group, and pays shareholders quarterly.
  • USCA Costs 0.07% a year against a typical screened US equity peer near 0.28%, and undercuts bigger ESG names like SUSA at 0.25%.
  • No blanket sector bans: the index keeps the top 50% of companies in each GICS sector, so energy and industrials stay in, represented by their climate-transition leaders.dws.commsci.com
  • Rules do the picking. MSCI's climate metrics, ESG ratings and controversy screens set the roster; no manager discretion, no stock-by-stock calls.dws.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund with an institutional anchor investor from day one, and it pays quarterly.businesswire.com

Worth knowing

  • FDMO Momentum buys what is already working. The portfolio can crowd into whatever sector is hot and reshuffle when market leadership changes.
  • About 130 names, so individual stocks and sector tilts pull harder here than in a broad total-market fund.
  • Moderately traded rather than a volume giant, so execution deserves more attention than with the largest factor ETFs.
  • USCA Half of each sector is screened out, so results can drift from a plain MSCI USA index fund in either direction.dws.com
  • Market-cap weighted and filed as non-diversified, so America's largest companies carry heavy weight at the top.dws.com
  • Moderately traded next to the giants of US equity, so spreads can be a bigger part of the cost of getting in and out.
