Prospectus

November 29, 2024

These ETFs are different from traditional ETFs.

Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. These ETFs will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

The differences between these ETFs and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about an ETF secret, the ETF may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve an ETF's performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict an ETF's investment strategy, however, this may hurt the ETF's performance.

For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of these ETFs, see the sections entitled "Principal Investment Risks" (in the Fund Summary and Fund Basics sections) and "Additional Information about each Fund" (in the Shareholder Information section) below.

 

 

 

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission has not determined if this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Portfolio Turnover

 

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 42 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (Order) and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes each business day on its website a "Tracking Basket," which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund but is not the fund's actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of: (1) select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund's investments are selected (Strategy Components); (2) liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests (Representative ETFs); and (3) cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see "Additional Information about each Fund - Tracking Basket Structure" in the prospectus.
  • The fund also publishes each business day on its website the "Tracking Basket Weight Overlap," which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund's calculation of net asset value per share (NAV) at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms.
  • Normally investing primarily in equity securities.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in blue chip companies (companies that, in Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR)'s view, are well-known, well-established and well-capitalized), which generally have large or medium market capitalizations.
  • Investing in companies that FMR believes have above-average growth potential (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Tracking Basket Structure Risk.

The fund's Tracking Basket structure may affect the price at which shares of the fund trade in the secondary market. Although the Tracking Basket is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the fund at or close to the fund's NAV per share, there is a risk that market prices will vary significantly from NAV. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) trading on the basis of a published Tracking Basket may trade at a wider bid-ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, and therefore, may cost investors more to trade. These risks may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility. In addition, although the fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Tracking Basket to identify the fund's trading strategy. If successful, this could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders, such as front running the fund's trades of portfolio securities.

  • Arbitrage Risk.

Unlike ETFs that publicly disclose their complete portfolio holdings each business day, the fund provides certain other information intended to allow market participants to estimate the value of positions in fund shares. Although this information is designed to facilitate arbitrage opportunities in fund shares to reduce bid-ask spread and minimize discounts or premiums between the market price and NAV of fund shares, there is no guarantee the fund's arbitrage mechanism will operate as intended and that the fund will not experience wide bid-ask spreads and/or large discounts or premiums to NAV. In addition, market participants may attempt to use the disclosed information to "reverse engineer" the fund's trading strategy, which, if successful, could increase opportunities for predatory trading practices that may have the potential to negatively impact the fund's performance.

  • Fluctuation of Net Asset Value and Share Price.

Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the NAV than shares of other ETFs, including ETFs that make their daily holdings public. The NAV of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund's holdings. The fund's shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund's shares may result in the fund's shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

  • Trading Issues.

The fund will operate differently from other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund's shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to NAV than other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis, particularly during periods of market disruption or volatility. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. Market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to make a market in the fund's shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role with respect to market making or creation and redemption activities during times of market stress, or a decline in the number of Authorized Participants due to decisions to exit the business, bankruptcy, or other factors, could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the fund's portfolio securities and the market price of fund shares. In addition, trading may be halted, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Trading Halt Risk.

There may be circumstances where a security held in the fund's portfolio but not in the Tracking Basket does not have readily available market quotations. If the Adviser determines that such circumstance may affect the reliability of the Tracking Basket as an arbitrage vehicle, that information, along with the identity and weighting of that security in the fund's portfolio, will be publicly disclosed on the fund's website and the Adviser will assess appropriate remedial measures. In these circumstances, market participants may use this information to engage in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders. In addition, if securities representing 10% or more of the fund's portfolio do not have readily available market quotations, the Adviser would promptly request the Exchange to halt trading on the fund, meaning that investors would not be able to trade their shares. Trading may also be halted in other circumstances, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Stock Market Volatility.

Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

  • Foreign Exposure.

Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

  • Issuer-Specific Changes.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

  • "Growth" Investing.

"Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.      

  • Mid Cap Investing.

The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

In addition, the fund is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), which means that it has the ability to invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency .
  You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund.

The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The additional index has characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the "Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance. Visit www.fidelity.com for more recent performance information.

Investment Adviser

FMR (the Adviser) is the fund's manager. Other investment advisers serve as sub-advisers for the fund.

Portfolio Manager(s)

The fund is jointly and primarily managed by the team of Sonu Kalra (Co-Portfolio Manager) and Michael Kim (Co-Portfolio Manager), each of whom has managed the fund since 2020.

Mr. Kalra develops the investment strategy for the fund and is not responsible for the operational implementation of the strategy. Mr. Kim is responsible for the operational implementation of the strategy.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Shares of the fund are listed and traded on an exchange, and individual fund shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker or dealer at market price. These transactions, which do not involve the fund, are made at market prices that may vary throughout the day, rather than at NAV. Shares of the fund may trade at a price greater than the fund's NAV (premium) or less than the fund's NAV (discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying or selling fund shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information, including information regarding the fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spread, is available at www.fidelity.com.

Tax Information

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web site for more information.

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web site for more information.

Portfolio Turnover

 

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 38 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (Order) and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes each business day on its website a "Tracking Basket," which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund but is not the fund's actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of: (1) select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund's investments are selected (Strategy Components); (2) liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests (Representative ETFs); and (3) cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see "Additional Information about each Fund - Tracking Basket Structure" in the prospectus.
  • The fund also publishes each business day on its website the "Tracking Basket Weight Overlap," which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund's calculation of net asset value per share (NAV) at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms.
  • Normally investing primarily in equity securities.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of companies with small to medium market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 2500TM Index).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
  • Using an investment process that starts with fundamental analyst research and security recommendations, and reference portfolios managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) (the Adviser) that are based on fundamental analysis, and then applying a quantitative portfolio construction process designed to emphasize securities in which the Adviser has high conviction subject to appropriate security and portfolio-level risk, liquidity, and trading characteristics.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Tracking Basket Structure Risk.

The fund's Tracking Basket structure may affect the price at which shares of the fund trade in the secondary market. Although the Tracking Basket is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the fund at or close to the fund's NAV per share, there is a risk that market prices will vary significantly from NAV. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) trading on the basis of a published Tracking Basket may trade at a wider bid-ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, and therefore, may cost investors more to trade. These risks may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility. In addition, although the fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Tracking Basket to identify the fund's trading strategy. If successful, this could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders, such as front running the fund's trades of portfolio securities.

  • Arbitrage Risk.

Unlike ETFs that publicly disclose their complete portfolio holdings each business day, the fund provides certain other information intended to allow market participants to estimate the value of positions in fund shares. Although this information is designed to facilitate arbitrage opportunities in fund shares to reduce bid-ask spread and minimize discounts or premiums between the market price and NAV of fund shares, there is no guarantee the fund's arbitrage mechanism will operate as intended and that the fund will not experience wide bid-ask spreads and/or large discounts or premiums to NAV. In addition, market participants may attempt to use the disclosed information to "reverse engineer" the fund's trading strategy, which, if successful, could increase opportunities for predatory trading practices that may have the potential to negatively impact the fund's performance.

  • Fluctuation of Net Asset Value and Share Price.

Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the NAV than shares of other ETFs, including ETFs that make their daily holdings public. The NAV of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund's holdings. The fund's shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund's shares may result in the fund's shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

  • Trading Issues.

The fund will operate differently from other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund's shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to NAV than other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis, particularly during periods of market disruption or volatility. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. Market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to make a market in the fund's shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role with respect to market making or creation and redemption activities during times of market stress, or a decline in the number of Authorized Participants due to decisions to exit the business, bankruptcy, or other factors, could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the fund's portfolio securities and the market price of fund shares. In addition, trading may be halted, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Trading Halt Risk.

There may be circumstances where a security held in the fund's portfolio but not in the Tracking Basket does not have readily available market quotations. If the Adviser determines that such circumstance may affect the reliability of the Tracking Basket as an arbitrage vehicle, that information, along with the identity and weighting of that security in the fund's portfolio, will be publicly disclosed on the fund's website and the Adviser will assess appropriate remedial measures. In these circumstances, market participants may use this information to engage in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders. In addition, if securities representing 10% or more of the fund's portfolio do not have readily available market quotations, the Adviser would promptly request the Exchange to halt trading on the fund, meaning that investors would not be able to trade their shares. Trading may also be halted in other circumstances, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Stock Market Volatility.

Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

  • Foreign Exposure.

Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

  • Issuer-Specific Changes.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

  • Quantitative Portfolio Construction Risk.

A portfolio managed using quantitative portfolio construction can react differently than the market as a whole or a portfolio managed using only fundamental analysis. Although the Adviser uses a quantitative portfolio construction process that seeks to emphasize securities in which the Adviser has high conviction, there is no guarantee that this process will be successful, and the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data employed by the Adviser, in this process may not produce the desired results.

  • Mid Cap Investing.

The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

  • Small Cap Investing.

The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency .

Portfolio Manager(s)

The fund is jointly and primarily managed by the team of Tim Gannon (Co-Portfolio Manager), Michelle Hoerber (Co-Portfolio Manager), and Thomas Hense (Co-Portfolio Manager). Mr. Gannon and Ms. Hoerber have each managed the fund since 2021. Mr. Hense has managed the fund since 2024.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Shares of the fund are listed and traded on an exchange, and individual fund shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker or dealer at market price. These transactions, which do not involve the fund, are made at market prices that may vary throughout the day, rather than at NAV. Shares of the fund may trade at a price greater than the fund's NAV (premium) or less than the fund's NAV (discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying or selling fund shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information, including information regarding the fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spread, is available at www.fidelity.com.

Tax Information

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Portfolio Turnover

 

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 45 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (Order) and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes each business day on its website a "Tracking Basket," which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund but is not the fund's actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of: (1) select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund's investments are selected (Strategy Components); (2) liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests (Representative ETFs); and (3) cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see "Additional Information about each Fund - Tracking Basket Structure" in the prospectus.
  • The fund also publishes each business day on its website the "Tracking Basket Weight Overlap," which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund's calculation of net asset value per share (NAV) at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms.
  • Normally investing primarily in equity securities.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Tracking Basket Structure Risk.

The fund's Tracking Basket structure may affect the price at which shares of the fund trade in the secondary market. Although the Tracking Basket is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the fund at or close to the fund's NAV per share, there is a risk that market prices will vary significantly from NAV. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) trading on the basis of a published Tracking Basket may trade at a wider bid-ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, and therefore, may cost investors more to trade. These risks may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility. In addition, although the fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Tracking Basket to identify the fund's trading strategy. If successful, this could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders, such as front running the fund's trades of portfolio securities.

  • Arbitrage Risk.

Unlike ETFs that publicly disclose their complete portfolio holdings each business day, the fund provides certain other information intended to allow market participants to estimate the value of positions in fund shares. Although this information is designed to facilitate arbitrage opportunities in fund shares to reduce bid-ask spread and minimize discounts or premiums between the market price and NAV of fund shares, there is no guarantee the fund's arbitrage mechanism will operate as intended and that the fund will not experience wide bid-ask spreads and/or large discounts or premiums to NAV. In addition, market participants may attempt to use the disclosed information to "reverse engineer" the fund's trading strategy, which, if successful, could increase opportunities for predatory trading practices that may have the potential to negatively impact the fund's performance.

  • Fluctuation of Net Asset Value and Share Price.

Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the NAV than shares of other ETFs, including ETFs that make their daily holdings public. The NAV of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund's holdings. The fund's shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund's shares may result in the fund's shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

  • Trading Issues.

The fund will operate differently from other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund's shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to NAV than other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis, particularly during periods of market disruption or volatility. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. Market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to make a market in the fund's shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role with respect to market making or creation and redemption activities during times of market stress, or a decline in the number of Authorized Participants due to decisions to exit the business, bankruptcy, or other factors, could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the fund's portfolio securities and the market price of fund shares. In addition, trading may be halted, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Trading Halt Risk.

There may be circumstances where a security held in the fund's portfolio but not in the Tracking Basket does not have readily available market quotations. If the Adviser determines that such circumstance may affect the reliability of the Tracking Basket as an arbitrage vehicle, that information, along with the identity and weighting of that security in the fund's portfolio, will be publicly disclosed on the fund's website and the Adviser will assess appropriate remedial measures. In these circumstances, market participants may use this information to engage in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders. In addition, if securities representing 10% or more of the fund's portfolio do not have readily available market quotations, the Adviser would promptly request the Exchange to halt trading on the fund, meaning that investors would not be able to trade their shares. Trading may also be halted in other circumstances, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Stock Market Volatility.

Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

  • Foreign Exposure.

Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

  • Real Estate Industry Concentration.

Changes in real estate values or economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer.

  • Issuer-Specific Changes.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

  • Mid Cap Investing.

The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

In addition, the fund is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), which means that it has the ability to invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency .
  You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Investment Adviser

Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) (the Adviser) is the fund's manager. Other investment advisers serve as sub-advisers for the fund.

Portfolio Manager(s)

The fund is jointly and primarily managed by the team of Steve Buller (Co-Portfolio Manager) and Wan Hua Tan (Co-Portfolio Manager). Mr. Buller has managed the fund since 2021 and Ms. Tan has managed the fund since 2022.

Mr. Buller develops the investment strategy for the fund and is not responsible for the operational implementation of the strategy. Ms. Tan is responsible for the operational implementation of the strategy.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Shares of the fund are listed and traded on an exchange, and individual fund shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker or dealer at market price. These transactions, which do not involve the fund, are made at market prices that may vary throughout the day, rather than at NAV. Shares of the fund may trade at a price greater than the fund's NAV (premium) or less than the fund's NAV (discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying or selling fund shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information, including information regarding the fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spread, is available at www.fidelity.com.

Tax Information

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web site for more information.

The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms.
  • Normally investing primarily in equity securities.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities of U.S. companies that Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) (the Adviser) believes have proven or improving sustainability practices based on an evaluation of such companies' individual environmental, socialand governance (ESG) profile. An issuer is deemed to be located in the U.S. if the principal trading market for the security is in the United States or the issuer is organized under the laws of the United States.
  • Using the Adviser's proprietary ESG ratings process to evaluate the current state of an issuer's sustainability practices using a data-driven framework that includes both proprietary and third-party data, and also provide a qualitative forward-looking assessment of an issuer's sustainability outlook provided by the Adviser's fundamental research analysts and ESG team.
  • The Adviser's ESG ratings of issuers are derived from multiple factors, including an issuer's environmental profile, which may include, but is not limited to, carbon and toxic emissions, water management, waste management, vulnerability to the physical impacts of climate change, and research and investment into products, services, and energies that reduce emissions and/or provide opportunities to transition to less carbon-intensive products or operations. An assessment of an issuer's social profile includes, but is not limited to, its approach to diversity and inclusion, human capital management, data privacy, product safety and human rights. With respect to governance, the independence and diversity of an issuer's board, its compensation practices and board oversight of critical ESG issues are considered as part of the assessment. These factors are weighted based on how material the Adviser believes each factor is to an issuer's financial outlook, and not all factors may be applicable to all issuers.
  • Investing in issuers that the Adviser believes deliver tangible environmental or social impact through core business operations. An assessment of the impact characteristics of an issuer may involve corporate engagement and an analysis of issuer alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals using qualitative analysis as well as proprietary or third-party data. For example, issuers that provide access to clean water, education, or clean energy through their core business may be considered to deliver tangible impact.
  • Investing in securities of domestic and foreign issuers.
  • In addition to the ESG ratings process, using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.
  • Employing sustainable investing exclusion criteria to avoid investments in issuers that are directly engaged in, and/or derive significant revenue from, certain industries. Please see "Fund Basics - Investment Details - Sustainable Investing Exclusions" for additional information.

  • Stock Market Volatility.

Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

  • Sustainability Risk.

Application of Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC's (FMR) (the Adviser) ESG ratings process and/or its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may affect the fund's exposure to certain issuers, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect the fund's performance depending on whether certain investments are in or out of favor. The criteria related to the fund's ESG ratings process and/or adherence to its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may result in the fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for ESG reasons when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. As a result, the fund's performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of funds that do not use ESG or sustainability criteria. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for an issuer to have positive ESG factors. While the Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with other investors' or advisers' views. When evaluating an issuer, the Adviser is dependent on information or data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess an issuer's business practices.

  • Foreign Exposure.

Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

  • Issuer-Specific Changes.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

  • Small- and Mid-Cap Investing.

The value of securities of small to medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

  • Management Risk.

The Adviser's application of the fund's strategy criteria may not achieve its intended results. The fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies .

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency .

A Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) has contractually agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent proxy and shareholder meeting expenses exceed 0.003% of the fund's average net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through November 30, 2025 . FMR may not terminate this arrangement before the expiration date without the approval of the Board of Trustees and may extend it in its discretion after that date.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover

 

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 59 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (Order) and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes each business day on its website a "Tracking Basket," which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund but is not the fund's actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of: (1) select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund's investments are selected (Strategy Components); (2) liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests (Representative ETFs); and (3) cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see "Additional Information about each Fund - Tracking Basket Structure" in the prospectus.
  • The fund also publishes each business day on its website the "Tracking Basket Weight Overlap," which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund's calculation of net asset value per share (NAV) at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities of companies that prioritize and advance women's leadership and development. Such companies include those that, at the time of initial purchase, (i) include a woman as a member of the senior management team, (ii) are governed by a board for which women represent at least one third of all directors, or (iii) in Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC's (FMR) (the Adviser) opinion, have adopted policies designed to attract, retain and promote women.
  • Investing in securities of domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.
  • Employing sustainable investing exclusion criteria to avoid investments in issuers that are directly engaged in, and/or derive significant revenue from, certain industries. Please see "Fund Basics - Investment Details - Sustainable Investing Exclusions" for additional information.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Tracking Basket Structure Risk.

The fund's Tracking Basket structure may affect the price at which shares of the fund trade in the secondary market. Although the Tracking Basket is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the fund at or close to the fund's NAV per share, there is a risk that market prices will vary significantly from NAV. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) trading on the basis of a published Tracking Basket may trade at a wider bid-ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, and therefore, may cost investors more to trade. These risks may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility. In addition, although the fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Tracking Basket to identify the fund's trading strategy. If successful, this could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders, such as front running the fund's trades of portfolio securities.

  • Arbitrage Risk.

Unlike ETFs that publicly disclose their complete portfolio holdings each business day, the fund provides certain other information intended to allow market participants to estimate the value of positions in fund shares. Although this information is designed to facilitate arbitrage opportunities in fund shares to reduce bid-ask spread and minimize discounts or premiums between the market price and NAV of fund shares, there is no guarantee the fund's arbitrage mechanism will operate as intended and that the fund will not experience wide bid-ask spreads and/or large discounts or premiums to NAV. In addition, market participants may attempt to use the disclosed information to "reverse engineer" the fund's trading strategy, which, if successful, could increase opportunities for predatory trading practices that may have the potential to negatively impact the fund's performance.

  • Fluctuation of Net Asset Value and Share Price.

Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the NAV than shares of other ETFs, including ETFs that make their daily holdings public. The NAV of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund's holdings. The fund's shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund's shares may result in the fund's shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

  • Trading Issues.

The fund will operate differently from other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund's shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to NAV than other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis, particularly during periods of market disruption or volatility. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. Market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to make a market in the fund's shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role with respect to market making or creation and redemption activities during times of market stress, or a decline in the number of Authorized Participants due to decisions to exit the business, bankruptcy, or other factors, could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the fund's portfolio securities and the market price of fund shares. In addition, trading may be halted, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Trading Halt Risk.

There may be circumstances where a security held in the fund's portfolio but not in the Tracking Basket does not have readily available market quotations. If the Adviser determines that such circumstance may affect the reliability of the Tracking Basket as an arbitrage vehicle, that information, along with the identity and weighting of that security in the fund's portfolio, will be publicly disclosed on the fund's website and the Adviser will assess appropriate remedial measures. In these circumstances, market participants may use this information to engage in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders. In addition, if securities representing 10% or more of the fund's portfolio do not have readily available market quotations, the Adviser would promptly request the Exchange to halt trading on the fund, meaning that investors would not be able to trade their shares. Trading may also be halted in other circumstances, for example, due to market conditions.

  • Stock Market Volatility.

Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

  • Sustainability Risk.

Application of Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC's (FMR) (the Adviser) environmental, socialand governance (ESG) ratings process and/or its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may affect the fund's exposure to certain issuers, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect the fund's performance depending on whether certain investments are in or out of favor. The criteria related to the fund's ESG ratings process and/or adherence to its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may result in the fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for ESG reasons when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. As a result, the fund's performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of funds that do not use ESG or sustainability criteria. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for an issuer to have positive ESG factors. While the Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with other investors' or advisers' views. When evaluating an issuer, the Adviser is dependent on information or data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess an issuer's business practices.

  • Foreign Exposure.

Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

  • Issuer-Specific Changes.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

  • Small- and Mid-Cap Investing.

The value of securities of small to medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

  • Management Risk.

The Adviser's application of the fund's strategy criteria may not achieve its intended results. The fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies .

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency .
  You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Investment Adviser

Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) (the Adviser) is the fund's manager. Other investment advisers serve as sub-advisers for the fund.

Portfolio Manager(s)

The fund is jointly and primarily managed by the team of Nicole Connolly (Co-Portfolio Manager) and Kenyon Hunt (Co-Portfolio Manager). Ms. Connolly has managed the fund since 2021 and Mr. Hunt has managed the fund since 2023.

Ms. Connolly develops the investment strategy for the fund and is not responsible for the operational implementation of the strategy. Mr. Hunt is responsible for the operational implementation of the strategy.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Shares of the fund are listed and traded on an exchange, and individual fund shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker or dealer at market price. These transactions, which do not involve the fund, are made at market prices that may vary throughout the day, rather than at NAV. Shares of the fund may trade at a price greater than the fund's NAV (premium) or less than the fund's NAV (discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying or selling fund shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information, including information regarding the fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spread, is available at www.fidelity.com.

Tax Information

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web site for more information.

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth ETF seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes its Tracking Basket on its website each business day. While the Tracking Basket, which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund, includes some of the fund's holdings, it is not the fund's actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of Strategy Components (select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund's investments are selected), Representative ETFs (liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests), and cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see "Additional Information about each Fund - Tracking Basket Structure" below.

The fund also publishes each business day on its website the Tracking Basket Weight Overlap, which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund's calculation of NAV per share at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms. There is no minimum Tracking Basket Weight Overlap.

The Adviser normally invests the fund's assets primarily in equity securities.

The Adviser normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in blue chip companies. Blue chip companies are companies that, in the Adviser's view, are well-known, well-established and well-capitalized. Although blue chip companies generally have large or medium market capitalizations, the Adviser may invest in companies that it believes have good, long-term prospects to become blue chip companies. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment.

The Adviser invests the fund's assets in companies it believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios or price-to-book (P/B) ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

The Adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The fund may only invest in common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

The fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in relatively few companies and may invest up to 25% in a single company. The fund is classified as non-diversified.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.

If the Adviser's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Shareholders should be aware that investments made by the fund and results achieved by the fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which the Adviser or an affiliate acts as manager, including funds with names, investment objectives, and policies that are similar to the fund.

A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment.

The Adviser invests in securities of companies that it believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the company's assets, sales, earnings, growth potential, or cash flow, or in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry. The Adviser considers traditional and other measures of value such as price-to-book (P/B) ratio, price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, earnings relative to enterprise value (the total value of a company's outstanding equity and debt), and the discounted value of a company's projected future free cash flows. The types of companies in which the fund may invest include companies experiencing positive fundamental change, such as a new management team or product launch, a significant cost-cutting initiative, a merger or acquisition, or a reduction in industry capacity that should lead to improved pricing; companies whose earnings potential has increased or is expected to increase more than generally perceived; and companies that have enjoyed recent market popularity but which appear to have temporarily fallen out of favor for reasons that are considered non-recurring or short-term.

The Adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The fund may only invest in common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

The fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in relatively few companies and may invest up to 25% in a single company.

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day.

There is no minimum Tracking Basket Weight Overlap.

The Adviser normally invests the fund's assets primarily in equity securities.

The Adviser normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of companies with small to medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of small to medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, the Adviser generally defines small to medium market capitalization companies as those companies whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies included in the Russell 2500 Index. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. The size of the companies in the index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index.

The Adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The fund may only invest in common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser starts with fundamental analyst research and security recommendations, and reference portfolios managed by the Adviser that are based on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of fundamental factors such as its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions. The Adviser then applies a quantitative portfolio construction process designed to emphasize securities in which the Adviser has high conviction subject to appropriate security and portfolio-level risk, liquidity, and trading characteristics. The Adviser expects that the portfolio construction process will generally involve less frequent trading than the reference portfolios. 

Given the investment process and anticipated trading frequency, shareholders should be aware that investments made by the fund and results achieved by the fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which the Adviser or an affiliate acts as manager, including funds with names, investment objectives, and policies that are similar to the fund.

The Adviser is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, the Adviser may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types.

If the Adviser's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

The Adviser normally invests the fund's assets primarily in equity securities.

The Adviser normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments. Companies in the real estate industry and real estate related investments may include, for example, real estate investment trusts (REITs) that either own properties or make construction or mortgage loans, real estate developers, companies with substantial real estate holdings, and other companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as building supply manufacturers, mortgage lenders, or mortgage servicing companies.

Although the Adviser focuses on investing the fund's assets in securities issued by larger-sized companies, the Adviser may also make substantial investments in securities issued by medium and smaller companies.

The Adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The fund may only invest in common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

The Adviser normally invests the fund's assets primarily in equity securities.

The Adviser normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in equity securities of U.S. companies that the Adviser believes have proven or improving sustainability practices, based on an evaluation of such companies' individual ESG profile. An issuer is deemed to be located in the U.S. if the principal trading market for the security is in the United States or the issuer is organized under the laws of the United States. The Adviser's proprietary ESG ratings process is designed to evaluate an issuer's current and future ESG positioning relative to its peers. The process has two components. One component evaluates the current state of an issuer's sustainability practices using a data-driven framework that includes proprietary and third-party (such as CDP, Institutional Shareholder Services, and MSCI) data. The other component involves a qualitative forward-looking assessment of an issuer's sustainability outlook provided by the Adviser's fundamental research analysts and ESG team. This qualitative assessment is based on criteria including, but not limited to, the issuer's public sustainability disclosure, the issuer's systems and policies regarding sustainability, and issuer engagement on sustainability issues and opportunities.

The Adviser's ESG ratings of issuers are derived from multiple factors, including an issuer's environmental profile, which may include, but is not limited to, carbon and toxic emissions, water management, waste management, vulnerability to the physical impacts of climate change, and research and investment into products, services, and energies that reduce emissions and/or provide opportunities to transition to less carbon-intensive products or operations. An assessment of an issuer's social profile includes, but is not limited to, its approach to diversity and inclusion, human capital management, data privacy, product safety and human rights. With respect to governance, the independence and diversity of an issuer's board, its compensation practices and board oversight of critical ESG issues are considered as part of the assessment. These factors are weighted based on how material the Adviser believes each factor is to an issuer's financial outlook, and not all factors may be applicable to all issuers. Based on this process, the Adviser will assign ratings for an issuer's overall ESG performance.

The fund may also invest in issuers that the Adviser believes deliver tangible environmental or social impact through core business operations. An assessment of the impact characteristics of an issuer may involve corporate engagement and an analysis of issuer alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals using qualitative analysis as well as proprietary or third-party data. For example, issuers that provide access to clean water, education, or clean energy through their core business may be considered to deliver tangible impact.

The fund is not limited to investing in securities of a specific market capitalization and may hold securities of large, medium and/or small capitalization companies.

The Adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The fund may only invest in common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, in addition to the ESG ratings process, the Adviser also relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of an issuer's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.

If the Adviser's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Shareholders should be aware that investments made by the fund and results achieved by the fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which the Adviser or an affiliate acts as manager, including funds with names, investment objectives, and policies that are similar to the fund.

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Women's Leadership ETF seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and is not required to publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes its Tracking Basket on its website each business day. While the Tracking Basket, which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund, includes some of the fund's holdings, it is not the fund's actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of Strategy Components (select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund's investments are selected), Representative ETFs (liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests), and cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see "Additional Information about each Fund - Tracking Basket Structure" below.

The fund also publishes each business day on its website the Tracking Basket Weight Overlap, which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund's calculation of NAV per share at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund's actual portfolio in percentage terms. There is no minimum Tracking Basket Weight Overlap.

The Advisor normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in equity securities of companies that prioritize and advance women's leadership and development. Such companies include those that, at the time of initial purchase, (i) include a woman as a member of the senior management (C-suite) team, (ii) are governed by a board for which women represent at least one third of all directors, or (iii) in the Adviser's opinion, have adopted policies designed to attract, retain and promote women. The policies considered by the Adviser may include, but are not limited to, a company's parental leave policies, its policies designed to monitor the gender pay gap, or those regarding its flexible work environment.

Although the Adviser focuses on investing the fund's assets in securities issued by larger-sized companies, the Adviser may also make substantial investments in securities issued by medium and smaller companies.

The Adviser may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The fund may only invest in common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.

If the Adviser's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Shareholders should be aware that investments made by the fund and results achieved by the fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which the Adviser or an affiliate acts as manager, including funds with names, investment objectives, and policies that are similar to the fund.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Each fund principally invests in common stocks, preferred stocks, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), ETFs, and REITs, in each case that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange; and common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade on such exchange contemporaneously with a fund's shares.

Sustainable Investing Exclusions

For Fidelity ® Sustainable U.S. Equity ETF and Fidelity ® Women's Leadership ETF:

As part of its investment approach, a fund also applies broad criteria ("exclusion criteria") that seek to exclude issuers that are directly engaged in, and/or derive significant revenue from, certain industries or product lines. At present, these include: civilian semi-automatic firearms; tobacco production, or bonds issued against the proceeds of tobacco settlements; for-profit prisons; controversial weapons (e.g., cluster munitions, land mines, biological/chemical weapons, blinding lasers, and incendiary weapons); and coal production and/or mining.

In determining whether an issuer is directly engaged in, and/or derives significant revenue from a particular industry or product line, a fund may use revenue thresholds (e.g., issuers that derive more than 5% of revenue from tobacco production) and/or categorical exclusions (e.g., issuers that derive any revenue from the operation of private prisons or issuers that are classified within the coal production or mining industries), depending on the industry or product line, based generally on data provided by one or more third-party vendor(s). The Adviser, in its sole discretion, retains the right not to use data provided by third-party vendors where it deems the data not representative of an issuer's current business operations. In such cases, or where data on specific issuers may not be available from third-party vendors, the Adviser may make reasonable estimates or otherwise exercise its discretion.

A fund's exclusion criteria may be updated periodically to, among other things, add or remove certain industries or product lines from the screening process, revise the revenue thresholds and categorical exclusions applicable to such activities, or change particular industries or product lines from a categorical exclusion to a revenue threshold, or vice versa. Once the Adviser determines that an issuer is not subject to the fund's exclusion criteria, the Adviser then employs the sustainability strategy discussed above. In addition, a fund may invest in third-party investment products (e.g., mutual funds, ETFs, and/or index futures) that apply different or no exclusion criteria or sustainable investment strategies.

The implementation of the sustainability strategy (or strategies) is conducted alongside traditional fundamental, bottom-up financial analysis of individual issuers, using traditional fundamental metrics and/or traditional quantitative metrics. The Adviser may also engage in dialogues with the issuer's management teams to further inform investment decision-making and to foster best corporate governance practices using its fundamental and sustainability analysis. In addition, a fund may invest in an issuer prior to completion of the sustainability analysis or without engaging with the issuer's management.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund's performance. A fund's NAV changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because Fidelity ® Real Estate Investment ETF concentrates its investments in a particular industry or group of related industries, the fund's performance could depend heavily on the performance of that industry or group of industries and could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated funds. In addition, because Fidelity ® Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity ® Magellan ETF, and Fidelity ® Real Estate Investment ETFmay invest a significant percentage of assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.

The following provides more information about the risks above and other factors that can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Tracking Basket Structure Risk . A fund's Tracking Basket structure may affect the price at which shares of a fund trade in the secondary market. Although the Tracking Basket is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of a fund at or close to the underlying NAV per share of a fund, there is a risk (which may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility) that market prices will vary significantly from the underlying NAV of the fund. ETFs trading on the basis of a published Tracking Basket may trade at a wider bid-ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and therefore, may cost investors more to trade. In addition, although a fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Tracking Basket to identify the fund's trading strategy. If successful, this could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders, such as front running the fund's trades of portfolio securities.

Arbitrage Risk. Unlike ETFs that publicly disclose their complete portfolio holdings each business day, each fund discloses the Tracking Basket and Tracking Basket Weight Overlap, which is intended to allow market participants to estimate the value of positions in fund shares. Although this information is designed to facilitate arbitrage opportunities in fund shares to reduce bid-ask spread and minimize discounts or premiums between the market price and NAV of fund shares, there is no guarantee a fund's arbitrage mechanism will operate as intended and that the fund will not experience wide bid-ask spreads and/or large discounts or premiums to NAV. In addition, market participants may attempt to use the disclosed information to "reverse engineer" a fund's trading strategy, which, if successful, could increase opportunities for predatory trading practices that may have the potential to negatively impact the fund's performance. These practices may include front running (trading ahead of a fund) or free riding (mirroring a fund's strategies).

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value and Share Price . Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the NAV than shares of other ETFs, including ETFs that make their daily holdings public. The NAV of a fund's shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund's holdings. A fund's shares are listed on an exchange and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV and supply and demand on the listing exchange. Although disclosure of the Tracking Basket and Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to facilitate the arbitrage process to permit the shares of a fund to trade at market prices that are at or close to NAV, it is possible that the market price and NAV will vary significantly. As a result, you may sustain losses if you pay more than the shares' NAV when you purchase shares, or receive less than the shares' NAV when you sell shares, in the secondary market. During periods of disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility, or lack of an active trading market for a fund's shares, the market price of fund shares is more likely to differ significantly from the fund's NAV. During such periods, you may be unable to sell your shares or may incur significant losses if you sell your shares. There are various methods by which investors can purchase and sell shares and various orders that may be placed. Investors should consult their financial intermediary before purchasing or selling shares of a fund. Disruptions at market makers, Authorized Participants or market participants may also result in significant differences between the market price of a fund's shares and the fund's NAV. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for a fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

The market price of shares during the trading day, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a bid-ask spread charged by the exchange specialist, market makers, or other participants that trade the particular security. In times of severe market disruption or volatility, the bid-ask spread can increase significantly. At those times, shares are most likely to be traded at a discount to NAV, and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of shares is falling fastest, which may be the time that you most want to sell your shares.

Trading Issues . Each fund will operate differently from other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis. Although shares are listed on an exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market or requirements to remain listed will be met or maintained, or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended. If the market does not operate as intended, it could lead to a fund's shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to NAV than other actively managed ETFs that publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis, particularly during periods of market disruption or volatility. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs.

Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a fund. A fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as Authorized Participants. There are no obligations of market makers to make a market in a fund's shares or of Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role with respect to market making or creation and redemption activities during times of market stress, or a decline in the number of Authorized Participants due to decisions to exit the business, bankruptcy, or other factors, could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of a fund's portfolio securities and the market price of fund shares. To the extent no other Authorized Participants are able to step forward to create or redeem, shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face delisting. The risk of a limited number of intermediaries serving as Authorized Participants may be heightened due to the fact that a fund does not disclose its portfolio holdings daily, unlike certain other actively managed ETFs, and could be greater during market disruptions or periods of market volatility and in scenarios where Authorized Participants have limited or diminished access to the capital required to post collateral. In addition, trading of shares in the secondary market may be halted, for example, due to activation of marketwide "circuit breakers." If trading halts or an unanticipated early closing of the listing exchange occurs, a shareholder may be unable to purchase or sell shares of a fund. FDC, the distributor of a fund's shares, does not maintain a secondary market in the shares.

If a fund's shares are delisted from the listing exchange, the Adviser may seek to list the fund shares on another market, merge the fund with another exchange-traded fund or traditional mutual fund, or redeem the fund shares at NAV.

Shares of a fund, similar to shares of other issuers listed on a stock exchange, may be sold short and are therefore subject to the risk of increased volatility and price decreases associated with being sold short.

Trading Halt Risk . There may be circumstances where a security held in a fund's portfolio but not in the Tracking Basket does not have readily available market quotations. If the Adviser determines that such circumstance may affect the reliability of the Tracking Basket as an arbitrage vehicle, that information, along with the identity and weighting of that security in a fund's portfolio, will be publicly disclosed on the fund's website and the Adviser will assess appropriate remedial measures. In these circumstances, market participants may use this information to engage in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm a fund and its shareholders. In addition, if securities representing 10% or more of a fund's portfolio do not have readily available market quotations, the Adviser would promptly request the Exchange to halt trading on the fund, meaning that investors would not be able to trade their shares. Trading may also be halted in other circumstances, for example, due to market conditions.

Stock Market Volatility . The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

Sustainability Risk. Application of FMR's ESG ratings process and/or its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may affect the fund's exposure to certain issuers, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect the fund's performance depending on whether certain investments are in or out of favor. The criteria related to a fund's ESG ratings process and/or adherence to its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may result in the fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for ESG reasons when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. As a result, the fund's performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of funds that do not use ESG or sustainability criteria. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for an issuer to have positive ESG factors. While the Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with other investors' or advisers' views. Socially responsible norms differ by country and region, and an issuer's ESG factors or the Adviser's assessment of such may change over time. A fund may invest in issuers that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor. When conducting the ESG ratings process of an issuer or compiling and maintaining the sustainable investing exclusion list, the Adviser may rely on information or data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess an issuer's business practices with respect to ESG or to incorrectly include or exclude an issuer on or from its sustainable investing exclusion list. Certain investments may be dependent on U.S. and foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies, which may change without notice. A fund's investments in certain issuers may be susceptible to various factors that may impact their businesses or operations, including costs associated with government budgetary constraints that impact publicly funded projects and initiatives, the effects of general economic conditions throughout the world, increased competition from other providers of services, unfavorable tax laws or accounting policies and high leverage.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, securities denominated in or providing exposure to foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.

Industry Concentration. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry, and the securities of companies in that industry could react similarly to these or other developments. In addition, from time to time, a small number of companies may represent a large portion of a single industry, and these companies can be sensitive to adverse economic, regulatory, or financial developments.

The real estate   industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry, including REITs, can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In addition, the value of REITs can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT, and REITs may not have diversified holdings. Because REITs are pooled investment vehicles that have expenses of their own, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of those expenses.

Issuer-Specific Changes . Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Quantitative Portfolio Construction Risk.   A portfolio managed using quantitative portfolio construction can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or a portfolio managed using only fundamental analysis. Although the Adviser uses a quantitative portfolio construction process that seeks to emphasize securities in which the Adviser has high conviction, there is no guarantee that this process will be successful. The fund is subject to the risk that the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data employed by the Adviser in this process may not produce the desired results.

"Growth" Investing . "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.

"Value" Investing . "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.

Small Cap Investing . The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller issuers can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources.

Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.

Management Risk. The Adviser's application of a fund's strategy criteria may not achieve its intended results. A fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Other Investment Strategies

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend a fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

The Adviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and ETFs, to increase or decrease a fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. All futures contracts in which a fund may invest will be listed on a U.S. futures exchange and trade contemporaneously with the fund's shares.

Permitted Investments

Under the terms of the Order, each fund's investments are limited to the following: ETFs, notes, common stocks, preferred stocks, ADRs, real estate investment trusts, commodity pools, metals trusts, and currency trusts, in each case that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange; common stocks listed on a foreign exchange that trade on such exchange contemporaneously with each fund's shares; exchange-traded futures that are traded on a U.S. futures exchange contemporaneously with each fund's shares; and cash and cash equivalents (which are short-term U.S. Treasury securities, government money market funds, and repurchase agreements).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-Fundamental Investment Policies

Each fund's investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

 

Shareholder Notice

The following is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:

Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth ETF normally invests at least 80% of its assets in blue chip companies.

Fidelity® Blue Chip Value ETF normally invests at least 80% of its assets in blue chip companies.

Fidelity® Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF   normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies with small to medium market capitalizations.

Fidelity® Real Estate Investment ETF normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments.

Fidelity® Sustainable U.S. Equity ETF normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies that the Adviser believes have proven or improving sustainability practices, based on an evaluation of such companies' individual ESG profile.

Fidelity® Women's Leadership ETF   normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies that prioritize and advance women's leadership and development.

Valuing Shares

 

Each fund is open for business each day that either the listing exchange or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of regular trading hours on the listing exchange or the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. The prices at which creations and redemptions occur are based on the next calculation of NAV after a creation or redemption order is received in an acceptable form under the authorized participant agreement.

NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Shares of each fund may be purchased through a broker in the secondary market by individual investors at market prices which may vary throughout the day and may differ from NAV.

To the extent that a fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

Shares of government money market funds in which each fund may invest (referred to as underlying funds) are valued at their respective NAVs. NAV is calculated using the values of any underlying funds in which it invests. Other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser's opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

General Information

Information on Fidelity

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is one of the world's largest providers of financial services.

In addition to its fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer. 

The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is a limited trust company and securities depository that facilitates the clearance and settlement of trades for its participating banks and broker-dealers. DTC has executed an agreement with FDC, each fund's distributor.

Additional Information About Each Fund

Each fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an SEC exemptive order. In many respects each fund operates similarly to other ETFs. For example, as described in this Prospectus, shares of a fund are generally purchased and redeemed in Creation Unit aggregations through Authorized Participants, shares of a fund are listed and traded on a stock exchange, and individual investors can purchase or sell shares in less than Creation Unit sizes and for cash in the secondary market through a broker.

Tracking Basket Structure

However, each fund has some unique features that differentiate it from other ETFs. As described above, a fund does not disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day, and instead, each fund discloses other information to the market that is designed to facilitate arbitrage opportunities in fund shares to maintain efficient secondary market trading of shares. On each business day before the commencement of trading in shares on the listing exchange, each fund publishes on its website a Tracking Basket that is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund. The Tracking Basket is comprised of Strategy Components (select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which each fund's investments are selected), Representative ETFs (liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which a fund invests), and cash and cash equivalents. Representative ETFs are selected for inclusion in the Tracking Basket such that, when aggregated with the other Tracking Basket components, the Tracking Basket corresponds to a fund's overall holdings exposure. Representative ETFs may constitute no more than 50% of the Tracking Basket's assets on each business day at the time that the Tracking Basket is published.

The Tracking Basket is constructed utilizing a proprietary optimization process to minimize daily deviations in return of the Tracking Basket relative to a fund and is used to facilitate the creation/redemption process and arbitrage. The Tracking Basket is typically expected to be rebalanced on schedule with the public disclosure of a fund's holdings; however, a new Tracking Basket may be generated as frequently as daily. In determining whether to rebalance the Tracking Basket, the Adviser will consider various factors, including liquidity of the securities in the Tracking Basket, tracking error of the Tracking Basket relative to a fund, and the cost to create and trade the Tracking Basket.

Tracking Basket Weight Overlap

In addition to disclosure of the Tracking Basket, each fund publishes the Tracking Basket Weight Overlap on its website on each business day before the commencement of trading in shares on the listing exchange. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior day's Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of a fund that formed the basis for a fund's calculation of NAV at the end of the prior business day. It is calculated by taking the lesser weight of each asset held in common between a fund's portfolio and the Tracking Basket, and adding the totals. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is intended to provide investors with an understanding of the degree to which the Tracking Basket and a fund's portfolio overlap and help investors evaluate the risk that the performance of the Tracking Basket may deviate from the performance of the portfolio holdings of a fund.

Information on Each Fund's Website

Investors can access information about the Tracking Basket and Tracking Basket Weight Overlap for each business day on www.fidelity.com. Each fund discloses its complete portfolio holdings, including the name, identifier, market value and weight of each security and instrument in the portfolio, on www.fidelity.com on a monthly basis with a 30-day lag. Recent information, including information regarding a fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is also available at www.fidelity.com.

Buying and Selling Shares in the Secondary Market

Shares of each fund are listed and traded on an exchange, and individual fund shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker. Each fund does not impose any minimum investment for shares of a fund purchased on an exchange. These transactions are made at market prices that may vary throughout the day and may be greater than a fund's NAV (premium) or less than a fund's NAV (discount). As a result, you may pay more than NAV when you purchase shares, and receive less than NAV when you sell shares, in the secondary market. If you buy or sell shares in the secondary market, you will generally incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may also incur the cost of the spread between the price at which a dealer will buy fund shares and the somewhat higher price at which a dealer will sell shares. Due to such commissions and charges and spread costs, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment returns.

Each fund is designed to offer investors an investment that can be bought and sold frequently in the secondary market without impact on a fund, and such trading activity is designed to enable the market price of fund shares to remain at or close to NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has not adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading by these investors.

Shares can be purchased and redeemed directly from each fund at NAV only by Authorized Participants in large increments called "Creation Units." Each fund accommodates frequent purchases and redemptions of Creation Units by Authorized Participants and does not place a limit on purchases or redemptions of Creation Units by these investors. Each fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase transaction at any time. With respect to foreign common stocks, each fund may pay redemption proceeds more than seven (but no more than fifteen) calendar days after the fund's shares are tendered for redemption as a result of local market holidays. In addition, each fund reserves the right to impose restrictions on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading.

Precautionary Notes

For example, you may be deemed a statutory underwriter if you purchase Creation Units from a fund, break them down into individual fund shares, and sell such shares directly to customers, or if you choose to couple the creation of a supply of new fund shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for fund shares. A determination of whether a person is an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act depends upon all of the facts and circumstances pertaining to that person's activities, and the examples mentioned here should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could lead to a categorization as an underwriter.

Dealers who are not "underwriters" but are participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions), and thus dealing with shares as part of an "unsold allotment" within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

This is because the prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act is not available in respect of such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the 1940 Act. As a result, you should note that dealers who are not underwriters but are participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions) and thus dealing with the shares that are part of an overallotment within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(A) of the Securities Act would be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act. Firms that incur a prospectus-delivery obligation with respect to shares of a fund are reminded that, under Rule 153 under the Securities Act, a prospectus delivery obligation under Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act owed to an exchange member in connection with a sale on an exchange is satisfied by the fact that the prospectus is available at the exchange upon request. The prospectus delivery mechanism provided in Rule 153 is only available with respect to transactions on an exchange. Certain affiliates of each fund may purchase and resell fund shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Costs Associated with Creations and Redemptions  

The funds may impose a creation transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units of shares. Information about the procedures regarding creation and redemption of Creation Units and the applicable transaction fees is included in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

 

Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) as capital gain distributions. If you purchased your shares in the secondary market, your broker is responsible for distributing the income and capital gain distributions to you.

Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions per the tables below:

Tax Consequences

 

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you (for non-retirement accounts).

Taxes on Distributions

Distributions investors receive are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to investors as ordinary income, while certain distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to investors generally as capital gains. A percentage of certain distributions of dividends may qualify for taxation at long-term capital gains rates (provided certain holding period requirements are met).

Unlike other ETFs, the securities exchanged for a Creation Unit will not correspond pro rata to the positions in a fund's portfolio, and a fund may effect its creations and redemptions partially or wholly for cash rather than on an in-kind basis. Because of this, a fund may be unable to realize certain tax benefits associated with in-kind transfers of portfolio securities that may be realized by other ETFs. Shareholders may be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise have been subject to and/or at an earlier date than if each fund had effected redemptions wholly on an in-kind basis.

If investors buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, they will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions investors receive will normally be taxable to them when they receive them.

Taxes on Transactions

Purchases and sales of shares, as well as purchases and redemptions of Creation Units, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any fund.

The Adviser pays all of the other expenses of Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity® Blue Chip Value ETF, Fidelity® Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF, Fidelity® Magellan ETF, Fidelity® Real Estate Investment ETF, Fidelity® Sustainable U.S. Equity ETF, and Fidelity® Women's Leadership ETF with limited exceptions.

For Fidelity ® Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF, the total management fee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, was 0.51% of the fund's average net assets. Effective February 26, 2024, Fidelity ® Fundamental Small-Mid Cap ETF's annual management fee rate has been reduced to 0.43% of its average net assets.

The Adviser pays FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited, Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited, and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited for providing sub-advisory services.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for each fund is available in each fund's Form N-CSR report for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2024.

From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while retaining the ability to be repaid if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Fund Distribution

 

FDC distributes each fund's shares.

Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of fund shares.

These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

Distribution and Service Plan(s)

While each fund will not make direct payments for distribution or shareholder support services, each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to its shares. Each Plan recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of each fund and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for shares of each fund.     

If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to, or to buy shares of the funds from, any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Other Service Providers

 

State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as each fund's transfer agent and custodian, and is located at One Heritage Drive, Floor 1, North Quincy, Massachusetts, 02171 and One Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02114, respectively.
