Fidelity Emerging Markets gives investors access to developing market equities through
a strategy that combines long investments in stronger companies with short positions
in weaker ones. The structure broadens the range of opportunities available to the
managers and provides an additional tool for managing risk in a volatile asset class.

A defining feature of the strategy is the combination of long and short positions.
Long holdings target companies with strong balance sheets, consistent returns and
sound governance structures. These businesses are typically able to generate cash
across economic cycles and are purchased at valuations the managers believe offer
attractive long term potential. Short positions are used to take advantage of companies
facing structural or financial challenges. The managers aim to identify businesses
with deteriorating fundamentals rather than relying on valuation alone.
