Active long and short extensions to maximise risk adjusted returns
Unconstrained and benchmark unaware global equity fund
Long term investment horizon, but with dynamic stock position management
Fundamental bottom up stock selection drives high conviction, concentrated positions:
– Typically 60 - 110 stocks in total
– Long position sizes 1.0% - 5.0%
– Short position sizes 0.5% - 2.0%
No exposure to illiquid or binary outcome stocks
Long positions – what I look for

Where normalised earnings are much higher than current earningsRecovery
Beat the Fade Where the long term earnings power of the franchise is not appreciated by the market
Special Situations Where the market is using an inappropriate fundamental approach to analyse the stock
Short positions – looking for absolute downside

Source: FIL Limited, Morningstar Direct, nav-nav, gross income reinvested, in USD, 31 December 2011 to 31 March 2014 vs Morningstar Offshore Global Large-Cap Blend Equity category. While the FAST Global pilot launched in March 2011, the representative track record commences following a proof of concept phase. The FAST Global Composite reflects composited performance data constructed from the FAST Global pilot from 31 December 2011 to 30 September 2013, and thereafter the A-ACC-USD class of the live FAST Global Fund. While no fees were applied to the FAST Global pilot, its performance has been adjusted to reflect the 206bps predicted Ongoing Charges Figure of the A-ACC-USD class of the live fund, plus has also been adjusted for an estimation of performance fee had the live fund methodology been applied to the pilot. Live fund performance may differ from this pilot performance based on the impact of actual expenses associated with live fund administration, transaction costs, shareholder inflows and outflows, and performance fees. Pilots are funded entirely by Fidelity and are not available for client investment. All trading for pilots is transacted via Fidelity’s centralised dealing desk, in the same way as a live fund. However, in the absence of sufficient liquidity, all client orders must be completed in full before a pilot receives any allocation. Pilots may also not trade with client accounts. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Numbers may not sum due to rounding. *Risk measures based on time periods less than 3 years are not statistically significant.

– Select large capitalization banks e.g. UBS, Credit Suisse, Citi
– Telecommunications equipment companies e.g. Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Altera

Source: FIL Limited, 31 March 2014. Data represents FAST Global Pilot from 1 January 2012 – 30 September 2013, and the live FAST Global Fund from 02 October 2013. Comparative Index is MSCI AC World (N). Data includes any derivative exposures as an economically equivalent position in the underlying asset. The pilot attribution data includes an estimation of the effect of fund fees, but live fund performance may differ from this pilot performance based on the impact of actual expenses associated with live fund administration, transaction costs, shareholder inflows and outflows, performance fees and taxation. The fund attribution analysis is based on the overall portfolio’s holdings and may therefore differ from individual share class returns.

Quarterly Attribution – FAST Global as at March 2014
28
Source: FIL Limited, 1 January 2012 – 31 March 2014. Comparative Index is MSCI AC World (N). Data includes any derivative exposures as an economically equivalent position in the underlying asset. While the FAST Global pilot launched in March 2011, the representative track record commences following a proof of concept phase. While no fees are applied to the FAST Global pilot, its performance has been adjusted from 31 December 2011 to reflect the 206bps predicted Ongoing Charges Figure of the A-ACC-USD class of the live fund, plus has also been adjusted for an estimation of performance fee had the live fund methodology been applied to the pilot. This attribution data includes an estimation of the effect of fund fees, but live fund performance may differ from this pilot performance based on the impact of actual expenses associated with live fund administration, transaction costs, shareholder inflows and outflows, performance fees and taxation. Pilots are funded entirely by Fidelity and are not available for client investment. All trading for pilots is transacted via Fidelity’s centralised dealing desk, in the same way as a live fund. However, in the absence of sufficient liquidity, all client orders must be completed in full before a pilot receives any allocation. Pilots may also not trade with client accounts. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Important notes
ATTENTION: If this fund is not registered in your jurisdiction, the distribution of this document and the offering of Shares may be restricted. Accordingly, it is only directed at and issued to specially selected persons such as qualifying investment professionals to whom it may be lawfully promoted. This document does not constitute an offer or solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction in which to make such an offer or solicitation may be unlawful and should not be relied upon by persons who do not have professional experience of participating in such offers. This document is for Professional Investors only and should not be relied upon by private investors. This document is intended only for the person or entity to which it is provided. It must not be reproduced or circulated without prior permission. Distribution or reproduction of this document, in whole or in part, or the divulgence of any of its content, is strictly prohibited. This document is protected by copyright and may not be photocopied, amended or reproduced in any manner without Fidelity Worldwide Investment's written permission. Fidelity Active STrategy (‘FAST’ or the ‘Fund’) is an open-ended investment company (SICAV) established in Luxembourg with different classes of shares. The Fund is registered under Part I of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment, as amended (the “Law of 2010”). The Fund therefore qualifies as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities (‘UCITS’) and has obtained recognition under the Directive 2009/65/EC. Investments should be made on the basis of the current Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and prospectus, which are available along with any current annual and semi-annual reports free of charge from our European Service Centre in Luxembourg or from the offices of FIL as outlined below. Any investment activity described or referred to in this document is available only to qualifying investment professionals and will be engaged in only with qualifying investment professionals. Fidelity Worldwide Investment only gives information about its own products and services and does not provide investment advice based on individual circumstances. Any reference to specific securities is included for the purposes of illustration only and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell the same. Investors should also note that the views expressed may no longer be current and may have already been acted upon by Fidelity Worldwide Investment. Unless otherwise stated, all views are those of Fidelity Worldwide Investment. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. The value of investments can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount invested. Investments denominated in a currency other than the investor’s own currency will be subject to movements in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange transactions may be effected on an arm’s length basis by or through Fidelity Worldwide Investment companies from which a benefit may be derived by such companies. Investments in small and emerging markets can be more volatile than other more developed markets. Due to the lack of liquidity in many smaller stock markets, certain funds may be volatile and redemption rights may be restricted in extreme circumstances. In certain countries, and for certain types of investments, transaction costs are higher and liquidity is lower than elsewhere. For funds specializing in such countries and investment types, transactions, particularly those large in size, are likely to have a greater impact on the costs of running a fund than similar transactions in larger funds. Performance of bonds is affected by changes in interest rates and the issue of new bonds. If interest rates rise, bond prices fall and vice versa. Bonds are also subject to credit risk and default, and an investment in corporate bonds is generally less secure than an investment in Government bonds. Prospective investors should bear this in mind in selecting funds. In addition, investment in the fund may involve greater risk as a result of the fund’s use of derivatives, such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. Examples of the investment techniques for which the fund may use derivatives (though not exhaustive) include establishment of synthetic long and short positions, the creation of leverage that increases the fund’s economic exposure beyond the value of its net assets, or for hedging purposes. Whilst Fidelity Worldwide Investment employs a sophisticated risk management process to oversee and manage derivative exposures within the fund, investors should be aware that the use of derivative instruments may involve risks different from, and, in certain cases, greater than, the risks presented by the securities from which they are derived. Further details of the risks involved in investing in the fund are given in the prospectus and the Key Investor Document (KID), which all investors should read before investing. In the event of systemic shocks to financial markets, liquidity can become severely restricted causing some firms to withdraw from the market or, in extreme cases, become insolvent. Such events may have an adverse impact on the fund, particularly where the fund has counterparty exposure to the companies involved. Equally, the fund’s ability to utilise synthetic short exposures might from time to time be restricted in certain sectors, securities and/or certain jurisdictions due to local regulations.
