Important information - please keep in mind that the value of investments can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you invest.

If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.

Each quarter Tom Stevenson, Investment Director at Fidelity Personal Investing, analyses global markets and the key asset classes to provide a unique outlook for the next 12 months. The January 2026 edition of Investment Outlook will be published on this page on Thursday 8 January.
