FCAP questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF?
The issuer of Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF doesn't publish its holdings in a form we can read, so we can't measure how diversified it is. It is classed as equity with a Global ex-Australia focus; the product disclosure statement (PDS) and the issuer's fact sheet list what it owns.
Which ETFs does FCAP double up with most?
We can't compare holdings for FCAP, as the issuer doesn't publish them in a form we can read, and no fund's returns track it closely, so it offers a fairly distinct exposure.
How is Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF managed – active or passive?
Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF is actively managed. Rather than tracking an index, a fund manager at Fidelity decides what to buy and sell, aiming to do better than the market after fees.
Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.75% a year and index funds 0.45%.
What will I pay in fees for FCAP?
FCAP charges a management fee of 1.10% a year, about $110 for every $10,000 invested. Only 7% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, the median is 0.55%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (VGS) at 0.18%, Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares (Hedged) ETF (VGAD) at 0.21% and iShares Global 100 ETF (IOO) at 0.40%.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.25% for FCAP.
Does Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF follow a theme?
No. Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Global ex-Australia) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of FCAP?
The issuer doesn't publish FCAP's holdings in a form we can read. Its website and fact sheet list the full portfolio.
As an active fund it has no index rule: the manager decides which investments to hold and how much of each, within the limits set out in the PDS.
How well has Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF performed?
Based on its category, Fidelity Global Leaders Active ETF aims to grow your capital faster than its market after fees.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −4.5% over 1 year (median 6.3%; ranked 97 of 121). The medians and rankings compare it with Global ex-Australia equity funds. Since listing in 2024 it has returned 7.2% a year.
As an active fund, FCAP has no index to track. The fairer test is whether it beats similar funds and its market after fees, over several years.
