We have moved the Morningstar Analyst Rating™ for Fidelity Iberia to Neutral. The fund was previously Under Review due to a change in management. On 3 October Fidelity officially announced that former fund manager Firmino Morgado had left the firm over the summer and Fabio Riccelli has replaced him as lead fund manager. While we acknowledge that Riccelli is an experienced investor and has executed well at European equity fund Fidelity European Dynamic Growth, this is his first stint running an Iberian equity mandate. We think the manager will need some time to get fully familiar with the opportunity set, and we need to follow his execution over time given his lack of experience in such a concentrated universe. Given the uncertainty here, we have downgraded the fund’s rating to Neutral from its previous level of Silver.
