Investment Objective

The fund aims to achieve capital growth over the long term.

Investment Policy

The fund invests at least 70% of its assets, in equities of companies from anywhere in the world, including emerging markets. It will seek exposure to long-term market themes that benefit from long-term (structural and not cyclical) economic or social tren ds, such as disruptive technologies that modify consumer behaviour, demographics (population growth, ageing and middle class growth) and climate change. Secular changes generally last for ten years or more and can lead to structural changes. Disruptive technologies are innovations that meaningfully change consumer, industry or company behavior. Demographic trends are long-term dynamics including those related to ageing population (including companies relating to healthcare and retirement consu mption), growth of the middle class (companies exposed to increased consumption, increasing financial services and urbanization), and population growth (including companies exposed to scarcity of resources and need for improving productivity and automation). The Investment Manager has the discretion on the choice of themes the fund invests in. The fund may also invest in money market instruments on an ancillary basis. The fund may invest in the following asset s according to the percentages indicated: China A and B shares (directly and/or indirectly): less than 30% (in aggregate) REITS: up to 20% SPACs: less than 5%

Investment Process

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. The Investment Manager considers ESG characteristics when assessing investment risks and opportunities. In determining ESG characteristics, the Investment Manager takes into account ESG ratings provided by Fidelity or external agencies. Through the investment management process the Investment Manager aims to ensure that investee companies follow good governance practices. A minimum of 70% of the funds assets will adhere to specific multi asset ESG criteria. For more information, see Sustainable Investing and ESG Integration and the Sustainability Annex.
