Fidelity Investments Canada ULC Announces Changes to Fidelity U.S. All Cap Strategy

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, June 30, 2022 /CNW/ - Today, Fidelity Investments Canada ULC ("Fidelity"), one of Canada's top-performing investment management firms, announced changes to Fidelity U.S. All Cap Fund, Fidelity U.S. All Cap Class, and Fidelity U.S. All Cap Currency Neutral Class (the "Funds"), effective September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, Matt Friedman, an experienced Fidelity portfolio manager, will assume portfolio management responsibilities for the Funds currently managed by portfolio manager John Roth. John will continue to manage strategies for U.S. investors. The Funds' investment objectives will remain the same under Matt, as they will continue to aim to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies. Similar to the Funds' current strategies, Matt will employ fundamental, bottom-up research in selecting investments. Going forward, Matt will seek to meet the Funds' objectives by applying a value-oriented investment style and investing in companies of all sizes, with an emphasis on medium sized companies, compared to John's core approach and investing in companies of all sizes with an emphasis on medium and large sized companies. To ensure a smooth transition, Matt will work closely with John and research teams leading up to the effective date.

Commensurate with changes in investment style and focus, there will be changes to the holdings of the Funds.  This may potentially result in capital gains distributions to existing and new investors in the Funds at year-end. The capital gains distribution, if any, from Fidelity U.S. All Cap Class and Fidelity U.S. All Cap Currency Class will be deferred by a year and may change subject to market conditions.

In addition, the risk rating of Fidelity U.S. All Cap Currency Neutral Class will change from "medium" to "medium to high". Fidelity assigns a risk rating category based on the CSA's standardized risk classification and this reclassification reflects the change in the Fund's reference index. The risk ratings of Fidelity U.S. All Cap Fund and Fidelity U.S. All Cap Class remain unchanged as "medium" risk.

Matt Friedman brings deep experience in managing a wide range of U.S. equity strategies for over 20 years. For U.S. investors, Matt is responsible for managing CAD$29 billion in assets including Fidelity/Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund, Fidelity/Fidelity Advisor Value Fund, Fidelity/Fidelity Advisor Series Stock Selector Large Cap Value Fund, Fidelity/Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Large Cap Value Fund, Fidelity VIP Value Strategies Portfolio and Fidelity Flex Mid Cap Value Fund.

Prior to his current responsibilities, Matt managed several strategies at Fidelity, was sector leader of the industrials and energy research groups and followed specialty pharmaceuticals and generics stocks, as well as media, cable, and satellite. He has been in the financial industry since 1994 and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting from Emory University and his Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Chicago. Matt is also a CFA charterholder and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
