Effective July 23, 2024, Fidelity Advantage Ether ETF (FETH or ETF) reduced its management fee from 0.40% to 0.39% and also reduced some of the expenses that are charged to the ETF. As a result, the ETF’s management expense ratio (MER) will be lower going forward and is estimated to be 0.44% (inclusive of HST), on an annualized basis. The total expenses of the ETF, including the management fee, HST, portfolio transaction costs and expenses, will be reflected in the ETF’s management report of fund performance, posted semi-annually. FETH’s MER of 0.44% is the estimated prospective fee that investors will pay on a go-forward basis from July 23, 2024. Investors who purchased FETH units prior to July 23, 2024, paid the higher FETH MER of 0.95% (as at March 31, 2024) on those units, but can also expect to pay the same estimated prospective MER of 0.44% on a go-forward basis from July 23, 2024.
An index designed to reflect the performance of ether in U.S. dollars. It uses ether price data from eligible trading platforms and a volume-weighted median price method based on the 5-minute window immediately prior to the 4:00 p.m. (ET) close. The index price is calculated by ordering all individual transactions occurring over this 5-minute time frame on the eligible trading platforms and selecting the price associated with the 50th percentile of total volume. The Fidelity Index Committee reviews the Fidelity Ethereum Index semi-annually for possible updates as a result of the maturation of the digital assets industry. In addition, the Fidelity Index Committee and the Fidelity Digital Asset Services Advisory Committee evaluate semi-annually all U.S. digital asset trading platforms and/or regulated digital asset trading platforms and may change the eligible trading platforms at that time or during market disruptions when a trading platform review is warranted.
Each eligible trading platform used in the calculation of the Fidelity Ethereum Index maintains appropriate know-your-client policies and procedures and complies with anti-money laundering regulations.
