OUR STORY
“Increasing Fidelity’s pace of innovation has been and continues to be critical to our long-term success.”

The entrepreneurial spirit behind Fidelity Labs has been in place since Edward C. Johnson II founded the firm in 1946, disrupting the investment community’s status quo with a series of game-changing industry firsts.
Fidelity Labs was founded in 2005 to accelerate the development of new tools and capabilities for Fidelity.com. Over the years, our work and mission has evolved, but Labs has always played a critical role in driving growth and innovation for Fidelity. Since 2019, we’ve been focused on pursuing new business opportunities to shape the future for Fidelity, its customers, and the industry.

How does Fidelity Labs operate?
Fidelity Labs operates through a structured innovation process: Scan, Try, Scale. We begin by scanning for opportunities that are at the intersection of customer problems worth solving, Fidelity’s data and IP advantages, and enterprise priorities. In the try stage, the ideas are validated through rapid prototyping, then iterated based on feedback and test solutions to ensure they meet actual needs. Finally, in the scale phase, the concepts are developed into real tools, services, or businesses that can be launched and grown. This approach allows Labs to stay agile, customer-focused, and aligned with Fidelity’s broader mission.
