What Is FELG? Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETF
Last updated September 2026
Short answer
FELG is Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETF, an ETF that tracks Actively managed, no tracked index at a 0.18% expense ratio. FELG is Fidelity's actively managed large-cap growth ETF, run with quantitative models rather than against a tracked index. The concentration is what separates it from a conventional growth index fund. NVIDIA is 13.1% of assets, Apple 7.6% and Alphabet, counting both share classes, close to 10%. The ten largest positions come to roughly 55% of the fund, technology reaches 56% and communication services a further 15%. The fee is 0.18%, low for active management, and the distribution yield is 0.35%.
FELG is issued by Fidelity and tracks Actively managed, no tracked index. It charges a 0.18% expense ratio, holds approximately $5.7B in assets under management, yields about 0.35%, and launched in 2007.
A 13.1% position is an active decision
Cap-weighted growth indexes are large, and no single company usually reaches this weight in one. NVIDIA at 13.1% is roughly one dollar in eight, and the position sits above Apple at 7.6% by a wide margin. Combined with Alphabet's two share classes at 6.6% and 3.4%, three companies account for around 31% of the fund.
The remainder of the top ten continues in the same direction: Broadcom 5.4%, Microsoft 5.0%, Micron 4.2%, Tesla 3.5%, Meta 3.2% and Eli Lilly 2.5%. Five of those ten are semiconductor or semiconductor-adjacent businesses. Micron at 4.2% is the most telling inclusion, since a memory manufacturer at that weight is a deliberate position rather than a passive consequence of market size.
This is the reason to read the word enhanced carefully. The fund is not a cheap index tracker with mild adjustments; it is an active portfolio that happens to be priced like an index product.
The sector table is nearly the whole story
Technology at 56% and communication services at 15% leave 29% for everything else: consumer discretionary at 9%, industrials at 8% and healthcare at 6%. There is no meaningful exposure to financials, energy, utilities, staples or real estate. For an investor holding this alongside a broad market fund, that means the growth sleeve is not diversifying anything; it is doubling down on the part of the market that already dominates cap-weighted indexes.
It also means results will be driven by a narrow set of forces. Demand for computing hardware, the economics of memory and logic chips, digital advertising and consumer devices explain most of the portfolio. When those conditions favour large technology companies the fund is positioned for it. When they do not, there is little else inside to offset.
The 0.35% distribution yield follows mechanically. Companies of this profile return cash mainly through buybacks, and several pay nothing, so income is close to irrelevant here.
Cost, structure and limits
At 0.18%, the fee undercuts most active large-cap managers and sits in line with many style index funds. That pricing is the clearest argument in the fund's favour, because active management usually costs considerably more, and fees compound against results regardless of skill.
What the low fee does not do is reduce the concentration risk. A 13.1% single-stock position behaves like a concentrated bet whatever the expense ratio says, and the models driving these weights can be wrong in both directions.
The fund is unsuitable as a sole equity holding, given how much of the market it ignores. It is also the wrong choice for anyone who wants a growth allocation that tracks a recognised growth benchmark, and for investors who already hold large positions in the same companies through an index fund, since the overlap is nearly total at the top and heavily amplified.

FAQ
What does enhanced mean in the fund name?
+
It signals active management informed by quantitative models rather than index replication. The fund does not track a benchmark security by security; it builds a large-cap growth portfolio through its own selection and weighting process, with risk managed against a growth reference rather than copied from one. The result is far more concentrated than a growth index would permit, with NVIDIA alone at 13.1% of assets.
How concentrated is FELG?
+
Very. The ten largest positions are roughly 55% of the fund. NVIDIA at 13.1%, Apple at 7.6% and Alphabet across two share classes at close to 10% together make about 31%. Five of the top ten are semiconductor or semiconductor-related businesses, including Micron at 4.2%, so the portfolio depends heavily on conditions in one industry rather than on large-cap growth in general.
Why does Alphabet appear twice?
+
GOOGL is the Class A share at 6.6% and GOOG the Class C at 3.4%. Both represent the same company, so the fund's Alphabet exposure is close to 10%, making it the second largest position rather than the third and eighth. Holdings tables list share classes separately, which understates true single-company concentration.
Is 0.18% cheap for an active fund?
+
Yes by the standards of active large-cap management, which typically costs several times more, and it is comparable to many style index funds. The fee is the strongest point in the fund's favour, since costs compound against results regardless of skill. It does not, however, alter the concentration risk, which is a portfolio construction question and is where the real variability in outcomes sits.
How does it differ from a large-cap growth index fund?
+
An index fund weights by market value within a rules-based growth selection, which limits how large any single position becomes and spreads the remainder across dozens of companies. This fund makes active weighting decisions, producing a 13.1% position in one company and 56% in one sector. The holdings overlap substantially with a growth index, but the weights differ enough that outcomes will diverge in both directions.
Why is the yield only 0.35%?
+
Large growth companies return cash primarily through share repurchases, and several of the largest holdings pay no dividend at all. A portfolio weighted this heavily toward semiconductors, platforms and consumer technology will always produce a negligible income stream. The fund makes no attempt to manage for distributions.
What sectors are missing?
+
Financials, energy, utilities, consumer staples and real estate have no meaningful representation. Technology at 56% and communication services at 15% take 71% of the fund, leaving 29% split between consumer discretionary at 9%, industrials at 8% and healthcare at 6%. That is a deliberate consequence of a growth mandate rather than an oversight, but it makes the fund unsuitable as a standalone equity holding.
Does it duplicate an S&P 500 fund?
+
At the top, almost entirely. The same companies sit at the head of any large-cap US index fund, and holding both amplifies rather than diversifies that exposure. The practical question is what total weight an investor ends up carrying in a handful of technology companies once the two positions are added together, since this fund weights those companies far more heavily than the index does.
What is FELG's expense ratio?
+
FELG has an expense ratio of 0.18% per year as of August 2026, charged by Fidelity and deducted from the fund's value rather than billed to you separately. On a $10,000 position that is roughly $18 a year. Fees compound over time, so on a long-term holding the expense ratio is one of the few return drivers you control. It is worth comparing against other funds that track Actively managed, no tracked index before you choose.
How do I compare FELG to similar ETFs?
+
Put a few fields side by side: the expense ratio (fees compound over decades), the index or strategy it tracks, the top holdings and how much they overlap with what you already own, the dividend yield, and the AUM, liquidity, and bid-ask spread that affect trading costs. For index funds, tracking error (how closely it follows its index) and tax efficiency matter too. FELG's figures are above; the full method is in Walnut's guide on how to compare ETFs.
