General Information for Investors

The information contained on this website is not directed at, and must not be acted upon by persons inside the United Kingdom or the United States and is otherwise directed at persons residing in jurisdictions where the relevant funds are authorised for distribution or where no such authorisation is required.

Fidelity Funds and Fidelity Funds II are open-ended Luxembourg based investment companies. We recommend that you obtain detailed information before taking any investment decision. Investments should be made on the basis of the current Prospectuses, which are available along with the current, annual and semi-annual reports free of charge from our distributors and from our European Service Centre in Luxembourg (Fidelity Investments Luxembourg S.A., Kansallis House, Place de l'Etoile, BP 2174, L-1021 Luxembourg).
Fidelity MultiManager SICAV is an open-ended Luxembourg based investment company with variable capital. Investments should be made on the basis of the current prospectus, which is available from our distributors and from our European Service Centre in Luxembourg (Fidelity Investments Luxembourg S.A., Kansallis House, Place de l'Etoile, BP 2174, L-1021 Luxembourg).

The custodian of the funds is Brown Brothers Harriman (Luxembourg) S.C.A.

Fidelity only gives information on its products and services and does not provide investment advice based on individual circumstances. If you are in any doubt about whether an investment is suitable, you should seek independent advice and consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns. The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount invested. An investment in a currency other than the investor's own will be subject to the movements of foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange transactions may be effected on an arm's length basis by or through Fidelity companies from which a benefit may be derived by such companies.

Several of the funds invest, in part or in whole, in emerging market securities. Investors should appreciate that these securities may be more volatile than securities in more developed markets. As a result there may be a greater risk of price fluctuation and of the suspension of redemptions in such funds, compared with funds investing in more mature markets. This volatility may stem from political and economic factors, and be exacerbated by legal, trading liquidity, settlement, transfer of securities and currency factors. Some emerging market countries have relatively prosperous economies but may be sensitive to world commodity prices. Others are especially vulnerable to economic conditions in other countries. Although care is taken to understand and manage these risks, the respective funds and the fund Shareholders ultimately bear the risks associated with investing in these markets. 

Some of the funds may invest a small portion of their net assets in Russia as indicated in the relevant notes in Part I of the Prospectus. There are specific risks linked to investing in Russia. Investors should be aware that the Russian market presents specific risks in relation to the settlement and safekeeping of securities as well as in the registration of assets, where registrars are not always subject to effective government supervision. Russian securities are not on physical deposit with the Custodian or its local agents in Russia. Therefore, neither the Custodian nor its local agents in Russia can be considered to be performing a physical safekeeping or custody function in the traditional sense. The Custodian's liability only extends to its own negligence and wilful default and to negligence and wilful misconduct of its local agents in Russia and does not extend to losses due to the liquidation, bankruptcy, negligence and wilful default of any registrar. In the event of such losses, the Fund will have to pursue its rights against the issuer and/or its appointed registrar.

Please note that not all the funds mentioned may be registered or authorised for public distribution in each jurisdiction. Fidelity is not generally permitted to accept investment purchases from residents of countries where appropriate authorisations and registrations have not been obtained. In certain jurisdictions, investments may only be made through authorised intermediaries. For further information, please contact Fidelity.

Specific Information to accompany Business Centre Fund Factsheets:
Source of all performance data: Standard & Poor's performance calculated NAV to NAV, gross income reinvested in the reference currency of the fund, excluding initial charge. Cash returns to investor adjusted to reflect sales charge and includes the initial investment.

In certain countries, and for certain types of investments, transaction costs are higher and liquidity is lower than elsewhere. There may also be limited opportunities to find alternative ways of managing cash flows especially where the focus of investment is on small and medium sized firms. For funds specialising in such countries and investment types, transactions, particularly those large in size, are likely to have a greater impact on the costs of running a fund than similar transactions in larger funds. Prospective investors should bear this in mind in selecting funds. Reference to specific securities is included for the purpose of illustration only and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell the same. Investors should also note that the views expressed may not longer be current and may already have been acted upon by Fidelity.

For the asset allocation funds (as described in the Fidelity Funds Prospectus) an annual asset allocation fee of up to 0.5% is levied, plus the investment management fee on the investments, ranging from 0.4% to 1.50% depending on the composition of the portfolio.

The risk rating gives an indication of the risk level of a fund only in relation to Fidelity's overall fund range. It is intended only as a guide and is based on Fidelity's experience of previous performance of the managers, asset classes, markets and currencies involved. The scale applies to euro-based investors.
