Dear «Salute»
Fidelity Multi Asset Open Strategic – Investment Objective Change
I am writing to you because you are an investor in the Fidelity Multi Asset Open Strategic fund.
FIL Investment Services (UK) Ltd has told us that the objective of this fund will change from Tuesday 14 March 2017.
Why is the change happening? Fidelity is revising the investment objective of the fund in order to make it easier for investors to see how the strategy differs from others in the Fidelity Multi Asset Open fund range. It will also allow for greater flexibility in the types of asset the fund can hold to meet the investment targets it is aiming for.
How will these changes affect your investment? The objective change will not affect the value of your fund holding or in the fund manager’s opinion, its risk profile. The fund objectives are shown overleaf for you to compare.
What action do you need to take? You do not need to take any action unless you wish to make an alternative choice from our extensive range of funds. Please speak to your financial adviser before making any investment decisions or if you have any questions about this change.
For any other questions you can call our Customer Service Centre on freephone
Yours sincerely
Anthony Scammell Head of Customer Experience
