Fund Objective
To achieve returns in excess of the Tokyo Stock Exchange TOPIX Total Return Index over the suggested minimum investment time period of five to seven years.
Fund Strategy
The Fund generally invests in a diversified selection of Japanese Securities. Fidelity believes that markets are semi-efficient and share prices don't always reflect inherent value.

Based on this research approach, Fidelity seeks out stocks that it believes are undervalued and likely to generate growth.
