Summary
Fidelity Investment Grade Securitized ETF (FSEC) is a passively managed ETF that aims to replicate the ICE BofA US Fixed Rate Securitized Index. Its low expense ratio and the backing of a reputable issuer like Fidelity are positive factors. However, its lower AUM may present liquidity concerns compared to larger competitors. It is suitable for income-seeking investors with a moderate risk tolerance seeking exposure to investment-grade securitized debt, primarily mortgage-backed securities. Potential investors should consider the risk associated with the housing market and interest rate shifts.
