ESG factors are also considered when assessing investment risks and opportunities, according to the firm.
Fidelity says the targeted level of downside buffer is designed to adjust gradually as markets move. It is not guaranteed.
Neil Davies, head of ETFs at Fidelity International, said market corrections "can occur without warning", and that the range "brings a new type of equity solution to our active ETF range". Fidelity describes the funds as designed to help investors stay invested through drawdowns rather than step out of them.
