FYI: Fund giant Fidelity recently expanded its lineup of smart beta exchange-traded funds with the addition of two international funds. The Fidelity International High Dividend ETF FIDI, +0.67% and the Fidelity International Value Factor ETF FIVA, +0.23% debuted last week. Boston-based Fidelity offers two domestic dividend ETFs: the Fidelity High Dividend ETF FDVV, +0.20% and the Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates FDRR, +0.22% The firm also features a domestic value ETF, the Fidelity Value Factor ETF FVAL, +0.20% FIDI and FIVA could prove well-timed as investors continue flocking to international ETFs. Several of last year's top asset-gathering ETFs were ex-US funds and to this point in 2018, six of the top 10 asset-gathering ETFs are international funds.
