Focus on the criteria that matter most to you

Unique to Fidelity.com Screeners, a score is assigned to each security based on how well it meets your criteria values. The screener results are sorted by score as a default.

You can change the score weighting to focus on the criteria that matter the most to you by clicking the Enable Score Weighting link. Simply overwrite the default of equal-weight percentages and assign a percentage to each criteria you want score weighted, making sure your percentages total 100. The result set will be rescored and listed in descending score order. A score of 100 represents the best match for the criteria and weighting you have chosen.
