Fidelity International announces details for the Annual Investment Forum 2008

London, 14 July 2008 – Fidelity International is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the annual investment forum for advisers at 7 venues nationwide from the 29th September through to 3rd October 2008.

Peter Hicks, Head of IFA Channel at Fidelity International says: ”There are major pressures affecting the global economy right now and a number of questions on investors’ and IFAs’ minds: Is the world moving into a prolonged period of higher inflation? Can the commodity ‘supercycle’ continue? To what extent is the increasing might of the Sovereign Wealth Funds changing the face of corporate ownership?

“Our managers will present their views on these themes at this year’s investment forum - where they see the opportunities and risks arising, and how they are taking advantage of these trends within their portfolios.”

The speakers at this year’s forum are:

•  Tom Ewing - Fidelity UK Growth Fund
•  Trevor Greetham - Fidelity Multi Asset Strategic Fund
•  Jorma Korhonen - Fidelity Global Special Situations Fund
•  Sanjeev Shah - Fidelity Special Situations Fund
•  Ian Spreadbury - Fidelity Sterling Bond and MoneyBuilder Income Funds
•  Colin Stone - Fidelity European Opportunities Fund
