Irish Life Fidelity India China

The Fidelity India China Fund Update invests principally in equities in India, China and Hong Kong. It may also invest in equities that derive a significant proportion of their income from those markets. The fund is designed to seek long-term growth through exposure to these Asian markets.

The Fidelity India China Fund Update is described as suitable for investors whose portfolios are dominated by equities from Europe, the US and Japan. It is aimed at people who are willing to take a significant level of risk with this part of their portfolio. In other words, the fund may experience large ups and downs, so it is better suited to investors who can tolerate that volatility.

The Fidelity India China Fund Update is actively managed by Fidelity. It is a consolidation of the Fidelity India Focus Fund and the Fidelity China Focus Fund. The portfolio has approximately a 50% weighting in the two portfolios and is rebalanced quarterly by Fidelity.

The Fidelity India China Fund Update combines exposure to two distinct parts of Asia: India and China, with Hong Kong also included in the investment universe. The fund is built from two underlying funds, the Fidelity India Focus Fund and the Fidelity China Focus Fund, and is rebalanced quarterly. This structure gives it a combined focus rather than a purely single-market approach.

The Fidelity India China Fund Update is rated Very High Risk, which means its value can move sharply and investors could lose a large part of their investment. Its concentration in India, China and Hong Kong also means returns may depend heavily on those markets. The fund may also use securities lending, which can increase risk; securities lending means the fund lends out assets to help earn extra return, but this adds some extra exposure if things go wrong.
