Investment Objective: Fidelity Funds - Asian Smaller Companies Fund A-Acc-SGD
The fund aims to achieve capital growth over the long term. The fund invests at least 70% of its assets, in equities of smaller companies that are headquartered, or do most of their business, in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), including emerging markets. The fund may also invest in money market instruments on an ancillary basis. The fund will invest less than 30% of its assets (directly and/or indirectly) in China A and B Shares (in aggregate). In actively managing the fund, the Investment Manager considers growth and valuation metrics, company financials, return on capital, cash flows and other measures, as well as company management, industry, economic conditions, and other factors. More particularly, the fund is managed with a quality and value bias within the Asian smaller companies’ space.
