FIDELITY ASIAN VALUES PLC
Asia is the world’s fastest-growing economic region, offering investors a potentially unparalleled long-term opportunity.
But with more than 18,000 listed companies, the challenge is knowing in which direction to head. To find the companies which could turn into tomorrow’s front runners requires an extensive intelligence network of local analysts across Asia. Coupling that with an approach that seeks mispriced, quality businesses run by trusted people, Fidelity Asian Values PLC is an investment trust that is going places.
The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you invested. The shares in the investment trust are listed on the London Stock Exchange and their price is affected by supply and demand. The investment trust can gain additional exposure to the market, known as gearing, potentially increasing volatility. Investments in emerging markets can be more volatile than other more developed markets.
This trust invests more heavily than others in smaller companies, which can carry a higher risk because their share prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies and the securities
are often less liquid. Overseas investments are subject to currency fluctuations. This fund uses financial derivative instruments for investment purposes, which may expose the fund to a higher degree of risk and can cause investments to experience larger than average price fluctuations.
