Should You Invest in the Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF (FENY)?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Designed to provide broad exposure to the Energy - Broad segment of the equity market, the Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF (FENY - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 10/21/2013.
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.
Sector ETFs also provide investors access to a broad group of companies in particular sectors that offer low risk and diversified exposure. Energy - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 15, placing it in bottom 6%.
Index Details
The fund is sponsored by Fidelity. It has amassed assets over $410.26 M, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Energy - Broad segment of the equity market. FENY seeks to match the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Energy Index before fees and expenses.
MSCI USA IMI Energy Index represents the performance of the energy sector in the U.S. equity market.
Costs
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.08%, making it the least expensive product in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 3.63%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure that minimizes single stock risk, investors should also look at the actual holdings inside the fund. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Energy sector--about 99.70% of the portfolio.
Looking at individual holdings, Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM - Free Report) accounts for about 23.10% of total assets, followed by Chevron Corp (CVX - Free Report) and Conocophillips (COP - Free Report) .
The top 10 holdings account for about 71% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has added roughly 2.30% and is down about -11.42% so far this year and in the past one year (as of 12/03/2019), respectively. FENY has traded between $14.63 and $18.79 during this last 52-week period.
The ETF has a beta of 1.21 and standard deviation of 19.51% for the trailing three-year period, making it a high risk choice in the space. With about 133 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF sports a Zacks ETF Rank of 5 (Strong Sell), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. FENY, then, is not the best option for investors seeking exposure to the Energy ETFs segment of the market. However, there are better ETFs in the space to consider.
Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE - Free Report) tracks MSCI US Investable Market Energy 25/50 Index and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE - Free Report) tracks Energy Select Sector Index. Vanguard Energy ETF has $3.05 B in assets, Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund has $10.17 B. VDE has an expense ratio of 0.10% and XLE charges 0.13%.
