ETF Investing Content Hub Fresh Off a Big Milestone, Disruptive Tech ETF FDTX Is Spiking Nick Peters-Golden September 17, 2026 Tech equities have lifted countless portfolios to new heights amid the broader AI revolution. The hyperscalers have certainly done their part, but so much so that their massive market share has created notable concentration risk. However, the market is broadening as smaller tech firms and non-hyperscaler large caps gain momentum. Disruptive tech ETFs like the Fidelity Disruptive Technology ETF (FDTX) can help capture targeted exposure to this new area of growth. Key Takeaways: FDTX has returned 33.6% YTD per ETF Database data as of August 24. The strategy uses active management and fundamental analysis to help it find innovators in the tech space. By leaning into companies capable of disrupting their categories, FDTX may be a compelling satellite addition to watch. The disruptive tech ETF charges a 50 basis point fee to actively invest in innovative companies with the potential for market disruption. Its holdings include global disruptors active in areas ranging from next-generation hardware to the latest in AI capabilities. Specifically, the strategy focuses on top-performing companies in areas like big data, cloud computing, e-commerce, battery tech, among others. The fund’s managers also apply fundamental analysis, evaluating macroeconomic conditions and each company’s industry standings. This process has helped FDTX produce strong returns following a major milestone. On June 12, the fund hit its three-year ETF milestone, which is traditionally a significant marker for ETFs. A three-year track record of performance data allows ETFs to be listed on important brokerage platforms and gain visibility to more investors.

Without overreliance on the biggest names, FDTX is well positioned to continue its strong performance this year. For more news, information, and strategy, visit the ETF Investing Content Hub .
