Investment philosophy
At Fidelity, our investment philosophy is based on the following principles:
1. Markets are semi-efficient
2. Inefficiencies exist in the pricing of stocks
3. These inefficiencies can be exploited
However, it’s principle number three that truly underpins our investment philosophy.
We believe that our ability to exploit market inefficiencies is what sets us apart.
Through meticulous research and analysis, we uncover the rare market insights that enable us to make astute investment decisions. You might say that we take a forensic approach to investing.
What’s more, we conduct a rigorous examination on each of our investment opportunities.
Not only do we meet with the company, we also scrutinise their customers, suppliers, distributors and competitors.
It’s this process that gives us a three-dimensional view of companies – a view that allows us to accurately assess their performance and potential, without relying solely on bought-in research.
Investment capabilities
As we have one of the world's largest network of investment professionals, we are well positioned to capitalise on investment opportunities with speed and accuracy.
The fact that we review 90% of the world’s largest companies every 90 days, shows our far-reaching research capabilities, plus our methodical approach to investment.
What’s more, we have investment offices in key areas of the globe, allowing us to penetrate the business, economic, political and social landscapes in each region we operate. These offices are in Boston, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, Paris, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
Quite simply, Fidelity possesses investment capabilities that few other asset management companies can match.
