See for yourself how the Fund has performed since inception. The chart below represents the value now of $10,000 invested in the Fidelity Global Equities Fund from the Fund's inception in April 1998 compared with $10,000 invested in the MSCI All Country World Index NR. 

Chart as at: 31 May 2026

Total net returns represent past performance only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Total returns (net) have been calculated using exit prices and take into account the applicable buy/sell spread and are net of Fidelity’s management costs, transactional and operational costs and assumes reinvestment of distributions. No allowance has been made for taxation or for any fees charged by operators of master trusts or wrap accounts through which the products are offered. Returns of more than one year are annualised. Returns of the Fund can be volatile and in some periods may be negative. The return of capital is not guaranteed. Growth return is the unit price movement on exit to exit basis. Income is expressed as Total Return less growth component. Benchmark: The benchmark is the MSCI All Country World Index NR (effective 1 November 2011). The benchmark from 1 December 2006 to 31 October 2011 was the MSCI World Index (Net). The major difference between these two indices is the inclusion of 21 emerging market country indices in the MSCI ACWI Index. Prior to December 2006, the benchmark was MSCI World Index ex Australia (Net). NR: NR at the end of the benchmark name indicates the return is calculated including reinvesting net dividends. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the withholding tax rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
