Fidelity Funds - A world of investment options

‍Whether it’s your first house, kids’ education or retirement plans, there are many moments in life worth investing for. Fidelity can help you get there. To help you achieve your financial goals, Fidelity offers a global range of mutual funds, available in various currencies and invested in different asset classes.

‍

‍Multi Asset funds

‍Our all-weather multi asset solutions are designed to provide you with choice and flexibility to help you meet your investment needs.

‍

‍Bond funds

‍Fidelity bond funds aim to deliver regular income and the possibility of capital gains. Bond funds are important for diversifying a portfolio as bond securities are generally less volatile. Fidelity offers both investment grade and non investment-grade bond funds to suit investors' risk appetites.

‍

‍Equity funds

‍Fidelity equity funds aim to provide investors with long-term capital growth. The range of funds we offer includes diversified regional funds, single country funds and global sector/themed-based funds.

‍

‍Cash funds

‍Fidelity cash funds aim to provide a return in line with money market rates to investors whose primary concerns are capital security and liquidity.

‍

‍Lifestyle funds

‍Fidelity lifestyle funds are diversified target-dated portfolios whose asset composition becomes increasingly more conservative as the target date approaches. These funds will be liquidated at target dates.

‍How relentless research helps us uncover winners

‍Our investment team goes to the ends of the world to ensure we make the right decisions for you, and we mean that literally. If we need to visit lithium mines in South America or factories in China's industrial heartlands in order to gain conviction for an investment decision, we will go.

‍

When investing, those who don’t want merely to follow the herd need the support of a strong research team that can examine trends from every angle. This is the Fidelity research advantage we provide to all our clients.

‍

For example, obtaining a differentiated view of investment opportunities relating to electromobility requires more than just an auto analyst. An energy analyst monitors how future oil prices could influence demand for electric cars and capital expenditure on battery technology, while the chemicals specialists use their in-depth knowledge of these batteries to assess whether they can enable the travel range that customers expect from cars. Technology analysts focus on the chips and sensors used in electric cars; telecoms analysts concentrate on the 5G mobile telecommunications standard that makes autonomous driving possible; and insurance analysts address the question of how new mobility solutions will affect motor insurance.

‍

These are all aspects that break down a broad trend into opportunities, risks, winners and losers. And this rigorous research process is how we are able to generate performance through all phases of the cycle and deliver additional alpha for our clients.

‍

‍Our approach to sustainable investing

‍Fidelity’s heritage is rooted in our deep fundamental approach to company research and analysis. Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis complements our financial analysis to provide a holistic view of every company that we research and monitor.

‍

In 2019, we launched our own proprietary sustainable ratings system, which is used by our team of 180 fixed income and equity analysts worldwide to assess each company we research. Using insights from around 16,000 company meetings we conduct annually, along with industry analysis, competitor analysis and external ratings, our analysts determine an ESG rating score for each company, relative to their peer group. This forward-looking assessment of whether a company’s ESG performance is improving, deteriorating or stable helps to inform our investment decisions, identify future opportunities and, importantly, pinpoint the key risk areas to address in our engagement.

‍

We believe engagement is the key to improving corporate behaviour over the long term. We use our corporate access, research capabilities and investment scale to promote change, through engaging with companies on issues such as governance and remuneration, board composition, capital structure, and environmental and social issues. In 2021, we had engagements with 1,113 companies.

‍

We have been a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since 2012. In 2021 we scored an A+ in all categories assessed by the PRI.
