Current Prospectus Investment Objective & Policy New Prospectus Investment Objective & Policy

Fidelity Multi Asset Open Adventurous Fund

Investment Objective
This Fund targets an average annual return of 6.5% after the deduction of ongoing fund charges, over a typical market cycle of 5-7 years. The return target assumes the deduction of the ongoing charges figure (OCF) on the W share class. There is no guarantee that the target will be achieved by the Fund.

Investment Policy
The Fund has a large exposure to higher risk investments (such as global equities, global emerging market equities, global smaller companies and global property securities) meaning that it is likely to experience short-term price fluctuations and an investor may not get back the full amount invested. The Fund provides global exposure to a diversified range of assets by investing at least 70% into funds. The Fund typically invests more than 65% in sub-funds of an Irish UCITS fund (Fidelity Common Contractual Fund II) operated by Fidelity which subsequently utilise the experience and specialisms of a number of investment managers (which may include Fidelity) to manage the underlying assets. The exposure may be less than 65% depending on market conditions. The Fund is actively managed without reference to a benchmark. The Fund can also invest directly into other collective investment schemes (including schemes operated by Fidelity), transferable securities, money market instruments, cash and deposits, and is also able to use derivatives for efficient portfolio management and investment purposes. Asset allocation exposure of the Fund will be actively managed subject to it remaining within the following parameters in all market conditions: 60-100% equity, 0-40% debt instruments (which may include high yield and emerging market debt), 0-20% cash and 0-30% alternatives (such as infrastructure securities and Real Estate Investment Trusts).

Fidelity Diversified Growth

Investment Objective
The Fund aims to increase the value of your investment over a period of 5 years or longer and to maintain volatility within the range of 6-8% p.a.

Investment Policy

In addition, the Investment Manager will pursue other investment opportunities on a discretionary basis, which would be expected to enhance value regardless of market direction. The Fund can invest in funds (including funds managed by Fidelity), securities, money market instruments, cash, deposits and derivatives (which can be used for both efficient portfolio management and investment purposes).
