Fidelity Capital & Income Fund

Transcription

1 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 Fidelity Capital & Income Fund Investment Approach Fidelity Capital & Income Fund is a diversified high-yield bond strategy that seeks income and capital growth by investing primarily in the bonds of non-investment-grade companies. We apply an opportunistic investment approach, which results in tactical positions aimed to capitalize on relative value across a company's capital structure, including high-yield bonds, stocks, convertible securities, leveraged loans and preferred stocks. In particular, we seek companies with strong balance sheets, high free cash flow, improving business/industry fundamentals and sharp management teams that are motivated to reduce debt. In doing so, we take a longer-term investment outlook and also may take advantage of opportunities based on where we are in the credit cycle. We strive to uncover these investments through in-depth fundamental credit analysis, working in concert with Fidelity's high-income and global research teams.

2 High-Yield Bond Market Review U.S. corporate high-yield bonds gained 2.02% for the three months ending September 30, 2017, as measured by The BofA Merrill Lynch SM US High Yield Constrained, extending an upward trend that began in mid-february This quarter, synchronized expansion in global economic activity along with low inflation and accommodative monetary policies continued to provide a steady backdrop for most asset classes, including high yield. The exception was a brief stretch in early August, when high yield was pressured by heightened geopolitical risk and some industry-specific developments. All in all, the broader backdrop was largely supportive, and credit spreads continued to narrow, spurred by an improving U.S. economy, generally positive issuer fundamentals and enormous monetary support from major central banks worldwide. Throughout most of the quarter, risk assets across the board traded higher with minimal resistance. In July, high-yield bonds rose 1.16% amid upbeat corporate earnings and light new issuance. A modest dip in performance in August reflected escalating tension between the U.S. and North Korea, causing risk assets across the board to pull back. The energy-heavy highyield market came back strong in September, gaining 0.88%, led by a 3.43% gain for energy as a group, which received a boost from news of lower crude-oil supplies in the U.S. and a subsequent price surge for the global commodity. For the full three months, gains were broad-based across industries, but generally within a fairly tight range. Energy (+5%), transportation ex air/rail (+4%), utilities (+4%) and metals/mining (+4%) led the way. Firms in the banks & thrifts segment gained about 2%, carrying some of the post-election momentum picked up from investors who expect a new, pro-business presidential administration to ease financial regulation. Several more-defensive categories lagged the broader market, but only with a slight disadvantage, including food/beverage/tobacco (+2%). The group struggled as brick-and-mortar retailers faced significant competitive challenges from online merchants. Defensive-oriented health care and telecommunications each gained roughly 1%. Meanwhile, food & drug retail was the biggest laggard by a wide margin, returning about -4%. The only other industry to finish in the red was entertainment/film, which finished at roughly breakeven. Although investor sentiment around risk assets wavered during the quarter, lower-quality bonds rated CCC fared best, but by a slim margin. The higher-quality B and BB tiers finished the threemonth period with slightly smaller gains. By comparison, third-quarter results for high yield lagged largecap U.S. equities, slightly trailed emerging-markets debt, and outpaced floating-rate leveraged bank loans and investmentgrade bonds.

3 Performance Review The fund gained 3.15% for the three months ending September 30, 2017, topping the 2.02% advance of its benchmark, The BofA Merrill Lynch SM US High Yield Constrained. The investment environment this quarter was broadly constructive for risk assets, and stocks handily beat high yield's gain. Our investments in high-yield bonds, the fund's core area of focus, rose 2.78% for the quarter, contributing to performance versus the benchmark. The fund's roughly 20% non-benchmark stake in equities gained 6.30% the past three months, topping the 4.48% advance of the S&P 500 index and boosting the fund's result versus its high-yield benchmark. We held a small non-benchmark stake in floating-rate leveraged bank loans, to improve the quality and reduce the duration of the portfolio. This allocation modestly helped the fund's relative return. Within high yield, security selection drove the fund's relative performance, led by picks in technology, utilities and telecommunications. Conversely, relative performance was hampered most by picks in the health care industry, along with unfavorable positioning in energy. The top relative contributor was Texas utility firm TXU, a sizable non-benchmark holding. We sold our position in TXU this quarter but maintained a stake in its subsidiary Energy Future Holdings. Elsewhere, it helped to own a non-benchmark equity position in Air Canada. Overall, we have a favorable view of airlines because we believe industry fundamentals are much improved after a wave of consolidation in recent years. A sizable position in Air Canada among the fund's largest reflects our view that it has some unique growth opportunities, faces less competition than others and had a cheap valuation. A large stake in United Rentals was another top contributor. The major equipment rental company benefited as oil prices rebounded and it began to see better utilization from its business that serves energy companies. Conversely, our biggest detractor was an equity investment in Allergan, maker of Botox wrinkle treatment and dry-eye drug Restasis. The stock struggled because the firm continued to report minimal revenue growth not tied to acquisitions. The fund's position in cash also detracted. LARGEST OVERWEIGHTS BY MARKET SEGMENT Market Segment Banks & Thrifts 10.12% 2.80% 7.33% 0.29% Technology 10.63% 6.05% 4.58% 0.40% Utilities 4.11% 2.80% 1.31% -0.04% Air Transportation 1.18% 0.55% 0.63% 0.21% Food/Beverage/Tobac co 1.95% 1.35% 0.60% 0.29% Outlook and Positioning We continued to position the fund with an emphasis on our research team's best ideas. This includes companies with what we consider strong balance sheets, improving company/industry fundamentals and strong management teams. We can invest across a company's entire capital structure including high-yield bonds, stocks, convertible securities and preferred stocks in search of income and capital appreciation. The fund's exposure to high-yield bonds moved modestly higher this quarter, and represented 70% of assets as of September 30. The fund's allocation to equities was largely unchanged at about 20%. Floating-rate leveraged bank loans accounted for roughly 3% of the fund as of September 30. Lastly, cash finished the quarter at 6% of assets, down a bit from the end of the prior quarter. In terms of high-yield industries, we made no noteworthy changes in positioning. Our largest absolute allocations at the end of the third quarter were: telecommunications, energy, technology, and banks & thrifts. At period end, we maintain our positive view of the U.S. economy. The valuation of stocks compared with highyield debt is not where it used to be, but still suggests that stocks are cheap on a relative basis. From a risk perspective and given where we are in the credit cycle we believe equities offer a more attractive risk-reward profile than credits rated CCC and lower. Given the fund's higherthan-average allocation to equites, the fund's fixed-income component exhibited a higher-quality credit profile than the index, with a yield to worst lower than that of the index. In choosing stocks, we look across both investment-grade and high-yield issuers using a growth-at-a-reasonable price, or GARP, investment approach, with a particular focus on the PEG ratio the price-to-earnings multiple divided by earnings growth. Within the equity portion of the fund, our largest allocations at period end were in the following industries: software & services, semiconductors & semiconductor equipment, media, consumer services and capital goods. Conversely, we had no exposure to insurance, food & staples retailing, and household & personal products. The fund had a negligible allocation to real estate investments trusts (REITs) as of September 30.

5 Definitions and Important Information Unless otherwise disclosed to you, in providing this information, Fidelity is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, act as an impartial adviser, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity. CHARACTERISTICS Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers a security's interest payments in addition to the amount of time until the security reaches maturity, and also takes into account certain maturity shortening features (e.g., demand features, interest rate resets, and call options) when applicable. Securities with longer durations generally tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with shorter durations. A fund with a longer average duration generally can be expected to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than a fund with a shorter average duration. 30-day SEC Yield is a standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission for bond funds. The yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period, after the deduction of the fund's expenses. It is sometimes referred to as "SEC 30-Day Yield" or "standardized yield". 30-Day SEC Restated Yield is the fund's 30-day yield without applicable waivers or reimbursements, stated as of month-end. Net Asset Value is the dollar value of one share of a fund; determined by taking the total assets of a fund, subtracting the total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.

6 3-YEAR RISK/RETURN STATISTICS Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to its benchmark index. A beta greater (less) than 1 is more (less) volatile than the index. Information Ratio measures a fund's active return (fund's average monthly return minus the benchmark's average monthly return) in relation to the volatility of its active returns. R-Squared measures how a fund's performance correlates with a benchmark index's performance and shows what portion of it can be explained by the performance of the overall market/index. R- Squared ranges from 0, meaning no correlation, to 1, meaning perfect correlation. An R-Squared value of less than 0.5 indicates that annualized alpha and beta are not reliable performance statistics. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by dividing the fund's excess returns (the fund's average annual return for the period minus the 3-month "risk free" return rate) and dividing it by the standard deviation of the fund's returns. The higher the ratio, the better the fund's return per unit of risk. The three month "risk free" rate used is the 90-day Treasury Bill rate. Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of the dispersion of a fund's return over a specified time period. Fidelity calculates standard deviations by comparing a fund's monthly returns to its average monthly return over a 36-month period, and then annualizes the number. Investors may examine historical standard deviation in conjunction with historical returns to decide whether a fund's volatility would have been acceptable given the returns it would have produced. A higher standard deviation indicates a wider dispersion of past returns and thus greater historical volatility. Standard deviation does not indicate how the fund actually performed, but merely indicates the volatility of its returns over time. Tracking Error is the divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark, creating an unexpected profit or loss.
