Fidelity Diversified International Fund

Transcription

1 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017 Fidelity Diversified International Fund Investment Approach Fidelity Diversified International Fund is a broadly diversified international equity strategy that seeks capital growth by investing primarily in stocks from foreign developed markets. We manage the fund with a long-term view, focusing on high-quality businesses with durable or improving growth prospects that are benefiting from competitive advantages and are structured to achieve consistent profitability. We also value strong balance sheets, proven track records, high returns on capital and solid management teams whose interests are aligned with those of shareholders. We strive to uncover these companies through in-depth fundamental analysis, working in concert with Fidelity's global research team. While conscious of valuations, we may be willing to pay a slight premium for stocks we favor. Our disciplined investment process results in a style-consistent strategy that participates in the market in a risk-managed manner.

2 Performance Review For the three months ending December 31, 2017, the fund rose 3.68%, modestly lagging the 4.25% return of the MSCI EAFE. Unfavorable stock picking drove performance versus the index. Despite good results in seven of 11 sectors, weakness in health care and energy overwhelmed positive selection effects. Regionally, positioning in Japan hurt most; underweighting the rest of Asia also detracted from our relative result. Out-of-index exposure to emerging markets added notable value this quarter. Expansion in global economic activity plus low volatility, low inflation and easy monetary policies supported world markets for another quarter. Emerging-markets (EM) equities led the rally for the fourth quarter in a row. EM equities' MSCI-reported 8% gain was aided by some favorable political developments, rising manufacturing activity and demand for commodities and imports. Within the MSCI EAFE index, energy (+10%) and materials (+9%) stood out among sector results. At the other end of the spectrum, utilities (-1%), health care (0%), telecommunication services (+1%) and financials (+3%) notably lagged. The other sectors finished closer to the index average. Regionally, solid industrial growth helped the U.K. (+5%), despite deteriorating consumer confidence there. In December, hopes rose on progress in negotiations for Britain's exit from the European Union. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe (+1%) was hampered by renewed political turmoil especially in Germany and Spain as well as by concern over the potential Continental effect of U.S. corporate tax cuts. Amid strong corporate earnings and a positive perception of its political and economic prospects, Japan (+9%) led the rest of the Asia-Pacific group (+7%). In health care, overweighting Japan's Hoya maker of a huge array of optical products, including Pentax cameras and medical endoscopes was our biggest relative stock-level detractor. Hoya shares returned -7% this period, affected in part by a decision by some hardware names to delay adopting Hoya's glass technology for hard-disk drives. We retained confidence in Hoya's many endeavors in tech, "med-tech" and eyeglass lenses, though. Financials proved a mixed bag this quarter. Avoiding Spain's Banco Santander (-5%) in favor of out-of-index Bank Rakyat Indonesia (+18%), which specializes in "microfinancing," gave us a double-boost. We were surprised to lose some of that gain, though, via our overweighting in Nordea Bank, the Nordic LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK Naspers Ltd. Class N Kweichow Moutai Co. Ltd.

Two years into a disappointingly slow costcutting program, Nordea announced a plan to lay off 6,000 of its roughly 31,500 workers by Nordea's CEO stated the firm must be a "pioneer" in "efficient and automated operations," relying more on digitization and artificial intelligence. The bank faced a backlash from clients, mortgage brokers and stock analysts, and its shares shed roughly 6% immediately after the late-october reveal, returning about -10% for the full quarter. In energy, we were held back by dint of not owning certain major benchmark names. For example, shares of Royal Dutch Shell gained 12% for the fourth quarter, as the integrated oil and gas company reported solid operating results. In December, the stock reacted favorably when, among other things, Shell announced a return to cash versus "scrip," or share-based (and thus dilutive), dividends. We remained concerned over future oil supply and its cost for Shell. Nevertheless, our zero-weighting in the company ranked it among our biggest detractors this period. Though hurt by avoiding the likes of Shell and BP (+12%), we were aided by out-of-index Reliance Industries (+21%), an Indiabased conglomerate grouped within energy. Reliance was firing on all cylinders: its new wireless firm was rapidly adding users; its energy business enjoyed strong earnings and momentum across segments; refining margins were high and expected to remain so; and its retail revenue grew 80% year over year. Also on the plus side: Our No. 1 relative contribution this period came from an out-of-index stake in Naspers. Naspers shares advanced 29% for the quarter, as the South Africa-based print, TV and internet media group reported better-than-expected earnings driven by smaller e-commerce-related losses and a gain from its roughly 34% stake in fast-growing Tencent s in China. Naspers ended 2017 as one of the world's most valuable companies, due in large part to its stake in Tencent. It also helped that South Africa's currency and stock market rallied under a new pro-business head of the African National Congress. We'd also highlight out-of-index Kweichow Moutai (+38%), the largest and oldest distiller of baijiu, a traditional spirt. The firm benefited from a rebound in luxury liquors two years after President Xi Jinping cracked down on lavish gift-giving among government officials. Amid rising domestic demand for alcoholic beverages, Moutai reported better-than-expected profits, boosted by brand dominance and growth of China's middle class. LARGEST DETRACTORS VS.

3 Outlook and Positioning At year end, uncertainties include political situations in Europe and Asia. Instability in North Korea is a potential catalyst for U.S. China tension. Also, policymakers in China have begun to tighten monetary policy. Its economy remains steady, but less supportive credit conditions cloud China's outlook. A slowdown in credit growth likely would, in turn, slow economic growth there. In fund terms, technology remains our largest overweighting, with a focus on what we consider "best in class" leaders. Themes include security, EVs (electric vehicles) and shifting dynamics in the chip industry, as well as operators that have built strong businesses by buying software firms and running them for cash flow. However, we remain careful regarding valuations and have been trimming among stocks that have moved up substantially. We like financials. After years of a more bearish view on banks, we see better prospects and valuation support there as the sector didn't participate in the rebound as much as did other cyclically sensitive areas. Banks are lately better capitalized and benefitting from a likely better regulatory regime, higher economic growth and lower loss provisioning. Also, rising interest rate should yield improved net interest margins the difference between rates charged on loans and paid on deposits and, thus, earnings. In industrials, we are underweight large European capital-goods firms, preferring durable-earnings plays with high visibility, such as toll road and airport operators. We also like companies with competitive products or business models and high market share. We also have been adding some new construction-related industrials in Europe over the past year. We are underweight consumer discretionary, with little exposure to autos and apparel retailers, which seem susceptible to online rivals. We think automakers face higher development costs as demand, led by China, shifts to EVs. We look to invest in specialty retailers and those with defensible concepts and demand drivers, as well as potential for margin improvement. We also hold select media firms where we think the market view is too pessimistic. We see consumer staples as more attractive as real or perceived industry concerns affect relative valuations, creating opportunities in companies we think may have been sold down too harshly. While we have found materials firms offering what we consider good opportunities, competitive positioning or structural growth, we remain underweight the mining complex where, barring certain changes, excess capacity may prevent sustained strength. In health care, we are tilting away from firms facing, in our view, the most pricing pressure or where competition is insufficiently factored in to valuations. We like med-tech and specialists in lab equipment or "orphan" diseases, as well as those with "staple like" products, over-the-counter brands or structural growth. Energy holdings tilt toward outfits in relatively stable geopolitical areas. On the service side, we own what we see as top firms with competitive advantages and able to make cost-side adjustments to weaker prices. We raised exposure to refiners, especially moresophisticated operators that can tackle multiple grades of oil. As ever: We focus on what we consider "best of breed" quality companies with predictable secular growth, durable businesses, strong balance sheets and a high return on capital.

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.
