Register to vote on changes to Fidelity-managed funds
Much like registered companies, managed funds occasionally need shareholders to vote on proposed corporate actions, such as mergers or changes to investment objectives.
When we hold investments in a nominee structure, which means we hold your units or shares on your behalf, you won’t automatically have voting rights. However, you will be able to give us voting instructions for corporate actions on Fidelity-managed funds, including our range of trackers, so that we can vote on your behalf.
You can register for this service below. You only have to give us your details once, and your registration will apply to any ISA or Investment accounts you may have.
You only need to register once and we will register your interest to take part in the voting for corporate actions on any Fidelity-managed funds you have invested in. This means that if a corporate action involves a vote, we will send you a voting form in the post. Please remember that this does not apply to corporate actions on funds managed by other investment companies.
There is currently no charge for this service, but we reserve the right to charge for it in future and would notify you in advance if we decide to do so.
When we know that a change is definitely going ahead on a Fidelity-managed fund, either because it has received shareholder approval or didn’t need it, we will notify you by post, as we currently do.
Yes. As long as you hold your shares outside the nominee structure, there will be no change to your voting rights. Please note that this only applies to Fidelity-managed funds held in an Investment Account.
