How financially stable is Fidelity?
Fidelity is an independent global investment company that was established over 45 years ago and is still owned by the founding family, senior management and staff. As we are privately owned we do not have to answer to shareholders so we can make decisions for the long term on behalf of our customers.
Fidelity has different companies that provide and distribute investments to our clients in the UK. All of these companies are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, which requires us to have appropriate systems and controls for managing our business, with strict rules about the way we hold client money and assets.
In accordance with Financial Conduct Authority (UK's financial regulator) rules, we always hold a significant amount of liquid (i.e. easily accessible) capital. In the unlikely event this capital is required, it will help with the winding down of the business and make it easier to return your money and assets in an orderly way.
