How we invest your money

The Fund invests in a selection of securities exposed to emerging markets.

Fidelity believes that markets are semi-efficient and share prices don't always reflect inherent value. Through in-house, bottom-up company research, Fidelity aims to uncover the opportunities that it believes offer the greatest scope for outperformance.

Based on this research approach, Fidelity seeks out attractively valued companies that we believe are positioned to generate returns through market cycles and have demonstrated a track record of strong corporate governance.

The Fund's exposure to international securities (excluding Australian securities) will not be hedged back to Australian dollars. This means that the value of an investment in the Fund will change not only on the basis of a change in asset values, but also because of movements in exchange rates.

Asset classes and ranges
