What do Fidelity have to say on their Investment Philosophy?
Our success is based on our thorough and methodical research of individual companies. We believe that ultimately the most reliable information is the information we gather ourselves.
This is why we place a particular emphasis on resources. Our global network of portfolio managers and analysts is one of the largest and most respected in the industry, giving Fidelity a leading edge right from the very start of the investment process.
Based on our unique insight, we then pick every single company on its own particular merits to build our portfolios stock by stock. We call this process “bottom-up stockpicking”. As our record shows, it has served our clients well.
