Objectives and Approach

The Fund aims to increase the value of your investment over a period of 5 years or more and provide a growing level of income. The Fund will invest at least 80% in equities (and their related securities) of companies domiciled, incorporated or having significant business in continental Europe and those which are listed in the region. The Fund is actively managed. The Investment Manager identifies suitable opportunities for the Fund utilising in-house research and investment capabilities. The Investment Manager will, when selecting investments for the Fund and for the purposes of monitoring risk, consider the MSCI Europe ex UK Index. However, the Investment Manager has a wide degree of freedom relative to the index and may take larger, or smaller, positions in companies, and/or may invest outside the index, to take advantage of investment opportunities. This means the Fund's investments and therefore performance may vary significantly from the index. The Fund may also invest into other transferable securities, collective investment schemes, money market instruments, cash and deposits and is also able to use derivatives for efficient portfolio management. The Variable Share Class (W-VMF) measures its performance relative to the index for the purposes of the Investment Management Charge calculation. The performance index does not influence investment decisions materially. The Fund's performance can be compared to the MSCI Europe ex UK (Net Total Return) Index as the index constituents are representative of the type of companies the Fund invests in. Many funds sold in the UK are grouped into sectors by the Investment Association (the trade body that represents UK Investment Managers), to facilitate comparison between funds with broadly similar characteristics. This Fund is classified in the IA Europe excluding UK sector. Performance data on funds within this sector may be prepared and published by data providers and will be used when evaluating the performance of this Fund. The IA sector most closely reflects the combination of assets in the Fund.

        Important Information
        Headline performance can mask the true characteristics of a fund. Without fully understanding how a fund is managed, you may inadvertently become exposed to an undesirable level of risk to your capital. Some funds carry a dilution levy which reduces the number of units realised on any initial investment as an initial charge. If this fund carries such a levy it should be detailed in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID), which we must provide and you should read before investing.

        The charts and performance data shown are supplied by an external data provider and may contain data that appears to precede the introduction of the clean unit class for this fund. In such cases, historical data has been synthesised at the entire discretion of that external provider as realistically as possible using historical data recorded against the previously available commission-paying version of the fund, adjusting for fees in the process.

      Samuel Morse Marcel Stotzel

      Samuel Morse has managed this fund for 15 years and 4 months.

      Samuel Morse Portfolio Manager Sam Morse joined Fidelity in 1990 as a Research Analyst covering pan-European retail sectors and US furniture and carpet sectors. In 1994 he became Portfolio Manager, managing several retail UK equity funds and mandates. In 1997 Sam joined M&G as Head of UK Equities. During his time at M&G, Sam was responsible for a number of retail UK Equity funds including the M&G UK Growth Fund. In June 2004, Sam re-joined Fidelity as Head of the Institutional UK Equity Team. This role incorporated developing UK equity solutions for institutional clients as well as managing UK equity portfolios. From December 2009 Sam has managed the FIF European Fund. He also took over the responsibility for managing European Values PLC from January 2011. The importance of larger cap stocks to his alpha generation, and his low fund turnover, make Sam especially suitable for managing larger mandates, due to high fund capacity. Prior to joining Fidelity, Sam spent two years working for Hoare Govett in their Far East Equity Sales team. He has an M.B.A from INSEAD, France, as well as a BA from the University of North Carolina
