Eq: Large Cap

As ETFs continue to evolve, new “enhanced” or actively structured ETFs are emerging as thoughtful alternatives to traditional passive strategies, especially in today’s volatile market. 

 

Fidelity leaders emphasized how these hybrid ETFs aim to maintain core market exposure while improving on passive models through modest, research-driven security selection. Amid rising concerns like U.S. tariffs and potential recession risks, investors were advised to stay cautious but open to market rebounds following short-term shocks.

 

Fidelity’s Craig Ebeling noted that passive index tracking can lead to unintended exposures, while enhanced ETFs allow for greater alignment with investor goals by avoiding certain stocks. The Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Core ETF (FELC), for instance, leverages a quantitative system to actively select large-cap equities and has returned 9.78% since inception. 


Finsum: Investors remain optimistic about long-term opportunities, particularly with enhanced ETFs designed to improve benchmark outcomes.

The power of – expansion.

They come onboard with the US Core Equity 1 ETF and upcoming launches of three global fixed income ETFs and a U.S. Large Cap Vector ETF, which were launched not long ago.

“We continue to evolve our investment offering to meet demand from financial professionals and add value,” Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer Gerard O’Reilly said in a release. “These ETFs are another set of tools in Dimensional’s growing lineup, which we expect will meet diverse investor needs across asset classes and geographies.”

Think recruiting for succession planning is a piece of proverbial cake? Well, ha!

That’s because, to the contrary, errors can be common, according to linkedin.com. So, how do you increase your chances of sidestepping them in the recruiting process aimed at such planning? 

A few tips:

  • Assess your current and future needs
  • Develop a talent pool and a succession plan
  • Use objective and consistent methods
  • Involve multiple stakeholders and perspectives
  • Monitor and evaluate your results

 

Now, ask yourself: if your most essential employees bolted – and bolted today – would you be up the old creek – or do you have a successor who had the knowledge, training and skills to pay dividends and fill the void?

Workplace data’s all that and more, according to hr.nih/gov. It can abet your ability to visualize your workforce, such as, for instance, the volume of employees eligible to call it a day. Well, leveraging data, you can visualize representation of the workforce, which is a great way to gain support – not to mention – interest, in succession planning.

Here’s a suggestion: in the course or workforce discussion, strategic planning – and as you break bread over your mission -- provide your leadership with a summary of workforce data, complete with the snapshot. Doing so will reinforce how important workforce planning is.
