Seek upside potential with Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF (FBCG)

History tells us that companies with strong earnings growth tend to outperform,1 making growth-focused strategies like the Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF a powerful tool for building a stronger financial future.

Prioritizing growth

For investors looking to fund retirement, buy a home, or build generational wealth, focusing on growth is essential. While income-generating assets like dividends or interest provide stability, capital appreciation offers the opportunity for exponential growth, especially when paired with compounding returns. Prioritizing growth can help bridge the gaps between current savings and future financial aspirations.

S&P 500® companies with earnings growth of at least 10% tend to outperform companies with earnings growth of less than 10% (see chart to the right).

The potential of blue chips

The market has historically rewarded earnings growth. Since 1992, the average annual difference in stock performance of the growers of at least 10% versus the rest has been 12%. 


Over that same 30+ year time period, a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in S&P 500 companies with earnings growth of at least 10% would have turned into over $2 million vs. $320,000+ in the S&P 500 per the chart on the left.
