Price (Acc)
These are the shares in the fund that don’t pay out an income to clients. Any dividends – the money a company can pay out to its investors – are reinvested into companies in the fund. Despite no income, the shares should be worth more over time. Good incentive, eh?

Yield
How much the fund is currently paying out in income to investors. It’s NOT to be confused with the overall growth of a fund – a very different thing indeed. It’s also NOT a guarantee of future pay-outs, just a snapshot. This is more what it’s not than what it is…
The fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of large and mid-cap emerging markets equities. Manager Nick Price forms the portfolio from the best ideas of Fidelity’s three regional emerging market portfolios (Asia, EMEA and Latin America). He is unconstrained by any benchmark, instead focusing on company fundamentals and bottom-up stock selection to target high quality companies that he believes are capable of delivering sustainable returns over the medium term.

Investment process
Stocks are researched by Fidelity’s emerging markets analysts based around the globe, who rate them from 1 (strong buy) to 5 (strong sell). Fidelity’s emerging markets fund managers use the highest conviction stocks to construct concentrated regional equity portfolios for each of the three main regions of the GEM universe - Latin America, EMEA and Emerging Asia. Holdings from these portfolios are the pool of ideas from which Nick Price selects for the Fidelity Emerging Markets fund. He favours companies with strong market positions and competitive advantages, as these are typically able to deliver attractive earnings throughout the economic cycle. He also looks for companies that deliver superior returns on their assets and have well capitalised balance sheets. Such companies are usually more able to fund internal growth without diluting existing shareholder earnings through issuing new shares. The manager and the team analyse each stock for quality, consistency of returns and attractive valuation, as the primary drivers of portfolio construction. Risk is monitored on both the individual stock and portfolio level.
Nick Price is an experienced emerging markets equities manager, having been running money in the space for over more than a decade and running this fund since 2010. He benefits from substantial analyst resources at Fidelity, important given the size and breadth of his investable universe. He is an accountant by trade and scrutinises companies’ balance sheets rigourously, which we believe is important when selecting the quality companies that he favours. Historically his investment style has enabled the fund to deliver a more defensive performance profile, often providing a degree of protection in falling markets.

About the MRI
Our unique indicator: the Bestinvest Manager Record Index (MRI) measures the likelihood that the fund manager is adding value through their decisions. It is based on their performance record over the course of their career, adjusted for the amount of risk taken. MRI is an important contributor to our fund rating system but it is also vital to take account of qualitative factors. It is also very important to select funds to form a cohesive portfolio with an appropriate overall risk level.
