Investment objective
The Fund seeks to provide capital growth and income over the long term (a period of at least 5 years). The Fund is classified as defensive or risk profile 1 in the Barclays Global Markets fund range (which includes Funds with risk profiles from 1 to 5). This means its overall exposure to equity securities (shares of companies and other equity related investments) will not be more than 30% of its assets. The Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in other funds (“Second Schemes”). These will be passively managed (funds that reflect the performance of an index) and can include exchange traded funds (funds listed and traded on a stock exchange). It is intended that at least 70% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in Second Schemes which invest in fixed income securities (tradeable debt that may pay interest, such as bonds) and money-market instruments (“MMIs”, bonds with short term maturities).
Important documents: Please ensure that you have read the Key Information Document/Technical Guide
, Pre-sale Illustrations document & Doing Business with Fidelity document (incorporating the Fidelity Client Terms) and the fund information documents. These can be found within the Charges & documents section.
