FIDELITY ACTIVE STRATEGY JAPAN A JPY - Fund overview

No Bestinvest rating


Overview of FIDELITY ACTIVE STRATEGY JAPAN A JPY

This multicap equity fund seeks to outperform the MSCI Japan in both rising and falling markets through an active extension mandate. This means the manager can leverage his long positions and benefit from falling share prices through short selling, though target outperformance and volatility are similar to aggressively managed long only funds. The ability to leverage and short carries greater risk of loss, but the manager has successfully used the fund’s broader remit to generate higher returns than long only peers.

Investment process


The core of this portfolio is invested in shares that have been identified as attractive by Fidelity analysts. The manager favours cheap companies (price to book) relative to history with less than normal profitability (operating margins), although he is expected to be pragmatic. The fund could become more growth orientated if growth companies are fundamentally attractive. Shorts are found amongst expensive companies with peak profitability, although quantitative screens help to time short selling where there is a catalyst for the price to fall. A conviction based stop loss policy triggers review of positions when price targets are breached. Net market exposure is a function of investment opportunities available to the manager, but as outperformance of the index is targeted the fund will generally have a net market exposure around 100%. Options enhance returns through the collection of option premium and by taking advantage of high implied volatility. The manager has sold puts and calls (covered) and bought index options.

The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you can get back less than you originally invested. Past performance or any yields quoted should not be considered reliable indicators of future returns. Before investing in funds please check the specific risk factors on the key features document or refer to our risk warning notice as some funds can be high risk or complex; they may also have risks relating to the geographical area, industry sector and/or underlying assets in which they invest.
