Investing in shares

Important information - please keep in mind that 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. When you’re thinking of investing in shares, it’s generally a good idea to consider holding them alongside other investments in a diversified portfolio of assets. This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular investment. 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.
