Description: FMAT Fidelity Materials Index

The Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF (FMAT) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Materials 25/50 Index, which covers the U.S. materials sector. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities included in this underlying benchmark, though it may hold a representative sample rather than every component. FMAT is structured as a non-diversified fund, meaning it may concentrate holdings in fewer issuers than a diversified fund would allow.

The materials sector typically includes companies engaged in chemicals, metals and mining, paper and packaging, construction materials, and containers. Because demand for these products is closely tied to industrial production, construction activity, and broader economic cycles, the sector is generally considered cyclical and tends to be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than consumer-facing industries.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Industrial metals rally on China stimulus and manufacturing recovery
  • U.S. housing starts boost chemicals and construction materials demand
  • Weaker U.S. dollar lifts dollar-denominated commodity prices and sector earnings
