Fidelity Pushes For ETF Listing And Maintenance Fees After Threatening To Charge Investors If No Agreement Is Reached
Fidelity Investments (NYSE:FNF) is reportedly pressuring ETF firms to pay for listing and maintaining their products on its platform, a move that has stirred up industry discontent.
據報道，富達投資（NYSE:FNF）向ETF公司施壓，要求它們在其平台上列出和維護它們的產品。此舉引起了行業的不滿。
What Happened: Fidelity, a major player in the investment space, has already secured agreements with nine boutique firms. This comes after the company warned them in March about potential charges for their ETF investors if they didn't reach a deal, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. The company is now in discussions with other asset managers for similar revenue-sharing agreements.
發生了什麼：富達是投資領域的一大參與者，在三月份向九家精品公司發出警告，稱如果它們沒有達成協議，將可能對其ETF投資者收取費用，彭博社週二報道稱。該公司現在正在與其他資產管理公司就類似的共享營收協議進行討論。
Although maintenance fees are not new for mutual fund firms, they are less common for ETFs. This move could lead to increased expenses in a market known for its cost-conscious nature.
雖然對於共同基金公司來說維護費用並不新鮮，但對於ETF來說卻不太常見。此舉可能會導致市場上已經以節約成本著稱的ETF產生更多的開支。
Under the proposed agreements, Fidelity would take 15% of total fund revenue. The company has also suggested a potential charge of up to $100 on investors who buy a fund from a firm that doesn't agree to the deal.
根據所提議的協議，富達將獲取基金總營收的15%。該公司還建議在投資者買入不同意該協議的公司的基金時，收取高達100美元的費用。
Fidelity's move is seen as an attempt to generate new industry revenues amid a shift from mutual funds to generally cheaper and more tax-efficient ETFs. Critics argue that this could stifle innovation in the ETF space and make it harder for new firms to operate.
富達的此舉被視爲試圖在基金轉型至成本更低、更具稅務優勢的ETF市場中獲得新的行業收入。批評者認爲，這可能會扼殺ETF領域的創新，使新公司更難運營。
Fidelity has yet to respond to queries emailed by Benzinga.
富達尚未回覆Benzinga的郵件查詢。
Why It Matters: This move by Fidelity is significant in the context of its recent activities in the ETF space. In March, Fidelity added staking to its proposed Ethereum ETF application, aiming to allow ETF investors to earn additional income through staking rewards.
爲什麼重要：富達最近在ETF領域的活動背景下，此舉具有重大意義。在三月份，富達將賭注加入了其擬議的以太坊ETF申請中，旨在允許ETF投資者通過賺取抵押獎勵獲得額外收入。
In May, the company filed an amended S-1 application for its spot Ether ETF with the SEC, a move that could mark a milestone in the mainstream adoption of Ethereum.
五月份，該公司向美國證券交易委員會提交了其場內以太坊ETF的修訂S-1申請，此舉可能標誌着以太坊的主流採用里程碑的到來。
