Fidelity Personal Investing does not give advice based on personal circumstances so you are responsible for deciding whether an investment is suitable for you. In doing so, please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of funds is not guaranteed and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. Before investing into a fund, please read the relevant key information document and ‘Doing Business with Fidelity’, a document that incorporates our Client Terms. If you are investing via the Fidelity SIPP and have not yet received a letter from us confirming you have moved to our new system, or are opening a new SIPP today you should read the Fidelity SIPP Key Features Document incorporating the Fidelity SIPP Terms and Conditions. Alternatively, if you open a new SIPP account on or after 27 March 2019 and are under 54 years old, or if you have already received a letter from us confirming you have been moved to our new system, you should read the Doing Business with Fidelity document incorporating our Client Terms. You should regularly review your investment objectives and choices and if you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, you should contact an authorised financial adviser.
