Forced by the investor preference for passive instruments like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) driven by ETFs' fee and performance advantages, regulatory pressures, and the rise of robo-advisors, the renowned active manager Fidelity embraced ETFs by introducing smart beta ETFs. As the new chairman, Abigail Johnson had to consider the challenges ahead including incompatibility with Fidelity's investment philosophy and fierce industry competition. The case is based on several concepts including ETFs, mutual funds, index funds, factor asset pricing models, financial innovation, active vs. passive investment management, and efficient market hypothesis, aiming to help students understand ETFs, especially smart beta ETFs, as well as Fidelity and other ETF providers. The case can be used to facilitate teaching in the area of Finance & Investments.
