Overview of FIDELITY EMERGING EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA (EMEA)

This fund targets long term capital growth by investing in equities in the emerging economies of Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"). The fund will typically be heavily invested in the Russian and South African markets, since the region's other stock markets are on the whole relatively shallow. The manager looks for undervalued companies with strong franchises rather than "flavours of the month" and is prepared to hold them for the long term to realise value.

Investment process


The fund aims to generate long-term capital growth through investing primarily in securities of companies having their head office or exercising a predominant part of their activity in less developed countries of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe (including Russia), Middle East and Africa that are considered as emerging markets according to the MSCI Emerging EMEA index. The manager has a bottom-up approach with a value style, looking for unloved companies which can deliver solid long term returns. Typical portfolio companies will have strong franchises, high dividend yields, low PEs, strong cashflows and high returns on investment. The manager sets a target price for portfolio companies but does not require a short term catalyst for change, instead being prepared to wait for a number of years before value is realised. He has a dedicated team of EMEA analysts at his disposal, as well as Fidelity's worldwide network of emerging markets professionals.

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.
