Fidelity Large Cap Value Enhanced Index Fund

Transcription

1 Fidelity Large Cap Value Enhanced Index Fund Key Takeaways For the semiannual reporting period ending February 28, 208, the fund gained 9.53%, well ahead of the benchmark Russell 000 Value Index, which increased by 7.26%. Elevated exposure to stocks displaying certain in-favor characteristics as defined by our models, such as value and quality, contributed to the fund's strong relative showing. On a sector basis, selection in industrials and consumer discretionary meaningfully added value. Conversely, choices among the stocks of financial companies detracted, as did a slight underweighting in this sector. Senior Manager Max Kaufmann and his team continued to employ an investment model designed to identify companies with strong fundamental characteristics. The team's data-driven approach is intended to help reduce emotional biases and generate a more objective investment decision-making process. As of February 28, the management team remained overweighted in stocks backed by profitable companies, and that demonstrated value and quality characteristics that historically have been correlated with long-term outperformance.

2 Q&A Fund Facts Trading Symbol: Maximilian Kaufmann Manager FLVEX Start Date: April 9, 2007 Size (in millions): $3, Investment Approach Fidelity Large Cap Value Enhanced Index Fund is a diversified domestic equity strategy with a large-cap value orientation. The fund seeks to outperform its benchmark through a quantitative investment process that balances both risk and return. Our approach involves building multifactor statistical models to help us select companies with desirable fundamental characteristics. We generally favor companies with improving fundamentals and that are also trading at reasonable valuations. Our systematic investment process accounts for both topdown market indicators and bottom-up fundamental insights, using a dynamic factor allocation that allows the fund to adapt to changing market conditions in a riskaware manner. An interview with Maximilian Kaufmann, Senior Manager of the Geode Capital Management, LLC, investment management team Q: Max, how did the fund perform for the semiannual period ending February 28, 208 The fund gained 9.53%, well ahead of the benchmark Russell 000 Value Index, which gained 7.26%. The fund also surpassed the peer group average. For the six months, most stocks generated healthy gains, despite a significant downturn in February. Continued optimism about global economic growth which intensified in December with passage of federal tax-reform helped spur stocks' favorable performance. Among large-caps, growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 000 Growth Index, easily outpaced value stocks, as measured by the Russell 000 Value Index. Both midand small-caps trailed the S&P 500, representing the entire U.S. large-cap market. For the trailing 2 months, the fund added 23.52%, falling short of the 26.% return of the Russell 000 Value Index, as well as the peer group average. Q: What factors affected the fund's results Stocks of profitable companies that demonstrated a high level of quality and certain value characteristics drove the fund's outperformance of the benchmark. Meanwhile, our relatively low exposure to growth characteristics further enhanced the relative return this period. Growth which by our definition considers criteria such as increases in earnings, sales, and research and development expenses generally was not a desirable investment characteristic. It's important to note that, because our factor definitions are specific to our process, the fund's "growth" stocks are not necessarily similar to those in the Russell 000 Growth Index, which significantly outperformed the Russell 000 Value Index for the period. Such positioning was, as always, the product of our quantitative approach to investing. This involves building systems that select investments with a variety of desirable fundamental traits that our research has shown to be 2 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

3 correlated with long-term outperformance. Ultimately, we're seeking to identify good businesses with durable competitive advantages and with stocks that are selling at what we consider reasonable prices. To accomplish this objective, my team and I use computeraided analytical models to help us examine and rank individual securities. With these models, we build a portfolio that seeks to outperform the benchmark. These rankings take into consideration stock valuations and technical indications, in addition to company-specific performance criteria. In general, we seek to establish a risk profile for the portfolio similar to that of the index. Our models are designed to provide a framework in which we may decide to overweight securities that our quantitative process shows have more exposure to the fundamental factors we believe can lead to outperformance and underweight those that have little to no exposure to such characteristics. In addition, we consider the fund's security, industry and market-capitalization weightings. We generally invest at least 80% of the fund's assets in common stocks included in the benchmark, but maintain the ability to invest in non-index securities if our models identify attractive opportunities elsewhere. Q: Which sectors and stocks added value The biggest benefit came from security selection in industrials. Here, the fund's top individual contributor was industrial conglomerate General Electric, a poor-performing benchmark component in which we were significantly underweighted throughout the period because our models did not find the stock attractive. GE faced multiple business challenges during the period, reported weak financial results and cut its dividend in half. In the consumer discretionary sector, where security selection also was beneficial, the fund's top individual contributors were Kohl's, a department store retailer, and Michael Kors Holdings, a retailer and designer of apparel and accessories. Kohl's stock performed well this period, partly benefiting from strong holiday-season sales, while shares of Michael Kors gained due to better-than-expected financial results and a rosier earnings outlook. In the information technology sector, the fund's top contributors were a couple of semiconductor manufacturers Intel and Micron Technology. Both stocks reported strong earnings during the period. At the recommendation of our models, we allowed our position in Intel to grow modestly, while we scaled back the fund's Micron allocation. Q: What detracted from results We saw a modestly negative impact from a slight underweighting in financials, as well as security selection within this sector, led by an out-of-benchmark position in Annaly Capital Management, a mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT). Many investors believed it and other names in its segment remained vulnerable to rising interest rates. Our models continued to detect good value with this stock, however, and we added to the fund's weighting over time. Also in financials, it hurt to underweight Blackrock, an asset manager focused on alternative investments. We added a very small position to this benchmark component in December, and previously did not own it at all a negative factor for our relative performance, given this stock's 32% gain. Elsewhere, PPL, a provider of electricity and natural gas that struggled along with the broader utilities sector, detracted, as did Walgreens Boots Alliance, the holding company for the Walgreens drugstore chain. Q: Any closing thoughts as of February 28 The economic environment remains robust, with strong growth and employment trends in the U.S. accompanied by few obvious signs of inflation. That said, while we do monitor market developments, our investment decisions are based on company-specific factors, rather than big-picture macroeconomics. In other words, regardless of market and economic trends, we remain committed to our quantitative approach and will seek to outperform the index while matching its risk. As of period end, we are continuing to overweight stocks backed by profitable companies that score well on our value and quality factors, which our research has shown to be correlated with outperformance over time. 3 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.
