Focus and Objective
Objective
The Fund Invests principally in equities in markets throughout the world including major markets and smaller emerging markets.

Portfolio Characteristics
The fund comprises a wide range of securities across the world's stock markets and is benchmarked against the MSCI World Index. The portfolio's geographical split is broadly in line with the regional weights of the benchmark, but may be tilted in order to add incremental value to performance through asset allocation decisions. The resulting portfolio provides diversity in terms of investment approach, company size, as well as geography.

Investment Style
The lead managers believe the optimal way to deal with a global benchmark is to adopt a sub-manager approach, where individual sub-fund managers with differing investment styles are responsible for stock selection within each region. Indeed, in some cases it may be prudent to have more than one sub-manager within each region. Intensive, bottom-up research through company meetings and balance sheet analysis helps the individual sub-managers choose the top-performing companies within each region. It is the responsibility of the lead managers to identify the sub-managers that will add the most value and decide which global markets they consider will generate the greatest relative returns. The lead managers must then decide the proportion of assets to be allocated to each manager and each region, based on the level of risk they are willing to accept in the fund. The Fund aims to generate a greater proportion of returns through stock selection and as a result, regional weightings are normally within +/-3% of the benchmark weighting with a maximum deviation of 5%. This limits the impact of returns derived from asset allocation decisions. The overall strategy is set following the recommendations of the 'Asset Allocation Group' while taking into account the fund's benchmark and investment objective. This dual-level approach allows investors to benefit from the strong stock selection expertise of Fidelity's analysts and regional managers, as well as the asset allocation skills of the lead manager in selecting the appropriate combination of managers in the correct proportion to generate outperformance.
