Important information  - The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you invest. Investors should note that the views expressed may no longer be current and may have already been acted upon. Eligibility to invest in an ISA/SIPP and tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and all tax rules may change in the future. Withdrawals from a pension product will not be possible until you reach age 55 (57 from 2028). Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Please note that Tom’s picks and Select 50 are not a personal recommendation for you. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice. 

Be invested in 2025 - four fund ideas

If you’re wondering what to invest in, but don’t know where to start, why not take a look at Tom’s picks? Watch this video to see what Tom’s thinking about for 2025 and why he’s choosing to invest in these four funds.

" I choose my picks carefully - after all, I invest in all four funds in my personal ISA and Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) every year too."

Important information - The Brown Advisory US Smaller Companies Fund, Dodge & Cox Worldwide Global Stock Fund, Fidelity Global Dividend Fund and International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP) Investment Trust invest in overseas markets so the value of investments could be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The Dodge & Cox Worldwide Global Stock Fund and Fidelity Global Dividend Fund use financial derivative instruments for investment purposes, which may expose the funds to a higher degree of risk and can cause investments to experience larger than average price fluctuations. The Dodge & Cox Worldwide Global Stock Fund invests in emerging markets which can be more volatile than other more developed markets. The Fidelity Global Dividend Fund invests in a relatively small number of companies so may carry more risk than funds that are more diversified. This Brown Advisory US Smaller Companies Fund invests more heavily than others in smaller companies, which can carry a higher risk because their share prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies and the securities are often less liquid. The Brown Advisory US Smaller Companies Fund and Dodge & Cox Worldwide Global Stock Fund, have or are likely to have, high volatility owing to its portfolio composition or the portfolio management techniques. The shares in the International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP) Investment Trust are listed on the London Stock Exchange and their price is affected by supply and demand. The investment trust can gain additional exposure to the market, known as gearing, potentially increasing volatility. The Key Investor Information Document (KIID) / Key Information Document (KID) for Fidelity and non-Fidelity funds is available in English and can be obtained from our website at www.fidelity.co.uk
