Fidelity Select Industrials Portfolio

Transcription

1 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF JUNE 30, 2018 Fidelity Select Industrials Investment Approach Fidelity Select Industrials is a sector-based equity-focused strategy that seeks to outperform its benchmark through active management. We believe that uncertainty provides investment opportunity. Stock prices can become disengaged from a company's intrinsic (fair) value at cyclical extremes because of investor overreaction. Cyclical stocks exhibit repeatable patterns. We believe this can present opportunities for a disciplined investor whose time horizon spans the next cycle. We strive to capitalize on these opportunities through intensive, academic-style research on cyclical drivers and company-specific fundamentals, along with disciplined portfolio construction. The fund's success is predicated on finding the right mix of undervalued cyclicals and moreconsistent earnings growers throughout the cycle. Sector strategies could be used by investors as alternatives to individual stocks for either tacticalor strategic-allocation purposes.

FUND INFORMATION Manager(s): Tobias Welo Trading Symbol: FCYIX Start Date: March 03, 1997 Size (in millions): $ Morningstar Category: Fund Industrials Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Industrial industries can be significantly affected by general economic trends, changes in consumer sentiment and spending, commodity prices, legislation, government regulation and spending, import controls, worldwide competition, and liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. The fund may have additional volatility because of its narrow concentration in a specific industry. Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of stocks tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole. Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee

2 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW: Fidelity Select Industrials AS OF JUNE 30, 2018 Market Review For the three months ending June 30, 2018, the industrials sector, as measured by the MSCI U.S. IMI Industrials 25/50, returned -1.99%, versus 3.43% for the broadly based S&P 500. Among the 11 S&P 500 sectors, industrials recorded the lowest total return this quarter, just behind financials (-3.2%). Many stocks in the industrials sector were adversely affected by increasing concerns about worsening trade relations between the U.S. and other nations, especially China. Among the industry groups with meaningful weightings in the MSCI sector index, many had negative returns, including airlines (-10%), construction machinery & heavy trucks (-6%), industrial machinery (-4%) and aerospace & defense (-4%). Airlines, hampered by rising fuel costs as the price of crude oil advanced, were weighed down by American Airlines Group (-27%) and Southwest Airlines (-11%), among others. Research & consulting services (+9%) and railroads (+9%) were two of the better-performing index groups. Within the railroads group, CSX was a standout (+15%), along with Norfolk Southern (+12%) and Union Pacific (+6%), as rail traffic and freight rates continued to rise. According to a report released by financial data-keeper FactSet Research Systems in late June, industrials ranked fifth among S&P 500 sectors in first-quarter earnings growth, at +23.0%, and also fifth in Q1 revenue growth, at +10.5%. For the second quarter, earnings growth in the sector was expected to come in at a healthy +12.6% rate, good enough for seventh place. For Q2 revenue expectations, the sector ranked sixth, at +7.9%. Performance Review For the second quarter, the fund returned -2.04%, slightly trailing the MSCI U.S. IMI Industrials 25/50 and considerably short of the S&P 500. Versus the MSCI sector index, stock selection in air freight & logistics weighed most on the fund's relative performance. Among individual holdings, several overweighted positions in aerospace & defense were noteworthy detractors, including General Dynamics (-15%) the fund's largest relative detractor Huntington Ingalls Industries (- 16%) and Northrop Grumman (-12%). The first two are shipbuilders, an area we've been bullish about for some time because of what we view as a supportive defense budget. However, higher steel prices and other costs hampered the stocks this quarter. As for militaryindustrial conglomerate Northrop Grumman, despite the company topping analysts' estimates for revenue and earnings for the first quarter, investors seemed to focus on the late-april release of cashflow and sales guidance that was flat. The same day, Northrop Grumman announced it didn't submit a bid to build the next round of the U.S. Air Force's GPS III satellites a contract that could be worth up to $10 billion. On the positive side, stock selection in industrial machinery contributed most. Picks in construction machinery & heavy trucks, aerospace & defense, and industrial conglomerates also lifted our relative result. At the stock level, the top relative contributor was an out-of-index position in Canada-based commercial jet manufacturer Bombardier, which rose 36% this quarter. Prospects for the company and its C Series jets have brightened notably since industry heavyweight Airbus announced its purchase of a 51% stake in the company in October The ability to leverage Airbus marketing and financial resources helped Bombardier boost orders for the C Series. Avoiding index name American Airlines Group also lifted our result versus the MSCI index. These shares returned -27% for the quarter, driven lower by increasing costs for jet fuel, as well as a difficult year-earlier earnings comparison. The company lowered its 2018 earnings target in April, despite strong demand for both business and leisure travel that drove a roughly 6% year-overyear revenue increase. LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS.

3 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW: Fidelity Select Industrials AS OF JUNE 30, 2018 Outlook and Positioning As of June 30, we see healthy conditions in a variety of end markets in the industrials sector. Global capital spending appears to be accelerating, although we believe this will be more evident in 2019 than in 2018 because of the delayed impact on revenue and earnings. The fund is positioned to benefit from this pick-up in spending through overweightings in industrial machinery our largest industry overweighting at quarter end and in construction & engineering. We believe both groups could be helped by a firming construction cycle, particularly in non-residential construction. The commercial aerospace industry appears solid at period end, reflecting healthy global GDP growth. The defense industry is another bright spot, benefiting from a supportive U.S. defense budget, especially in the areas of equipment procurement and R&D, the two most important drivers of revenue for defense contractors. As a result, aerospace & defense was another significant overweighting for the fund as of June 30. With that said, the tensions around international trade could get worse before they get better. Barring major fallout from a trade war, though, we're relatively optimistic about the sector's prospects for the next year or two. Industrial conglomerates remained our largest industry underweighting at quarter end. Much of this was due to a lighterthan-benchmark exposure to 3M. We had a small position in 3M at the end of June, making this stock our largest individual underweighting. General Electric another conglomerate had also been a large underweighting the prior quarter. However, we significantly increased this position during the quarter, as we thought most of the bad news was already priced into the stock. As a result, GE was the fund's second-largest position at quarter end. 3M contributed, while GE was a detractor for the three months. Other large underweightings at the end of June included defense contractor Lockheed Martin, jet manufacturer/defense contractor Boeing and package-delivery firm United Parcel Service. We considered Lockheed the least attractive of the major defense contractors. From a relative performance standpoint, Lockheed aided relative performance (it returned -12% and we didn't own it), while Boeing and UPS both outperformed the sector's result, so these underweightings detracted from relative performance. Three of our largest overweightings as of June 30 were aerospace & defense stocks: United Technologies, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics. The latter two were mentioned earlier as relative detractors. United Technologies did not have a meaningful impact on the fund's relative performance. 10 LARGEST HOLDINGS United Technologies Corp.

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. 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. 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.
