The same index is used in the positioning tables on this factsheet. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invested.

Performance is shown for the last five years (or since launch for funds launched within that period).
Emerging markets gained in October and significantly outperformed developed markets. This was mainly driven by enthusiasm around AI with tech-heavy markets Taiwan and Korea the best performers.
The portfolio delivered positive returns but underperformed the index in October. Both the long and short books were a source of weakness, while the short index positions and yield enhancement marginally contributed. At a country level, the company's positioning as well as stock picking within South Korea and South Africa detracted the most from returns. By contrast, the underweight stance in mainland China as well as stock picking in Taiwan proved rewarding. At a sector level, stock picking in the materials and industrials sectors proved to be a headwind, while the underweight stance in communication services contributed to returns. At a stock level, the short position in a manufacturer of electronic and battery materials detracted the most from returns. The underweight exposure to Chinese internet company Tencent contributed to relative returns, as the stock pulled back with the broader market. Consequently, the position in holding company Naspers, which owns a large stake in China's Tencent, was a notable detractor to performance.
The Company's NAV rose by 35.0% during the 12-month period ended October 2025, outperforming its reference index which rose by 25.2% in GBP terms. The Company's share price rose 44.3% over the same period.

The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. Overseas investments are subject to currency fluctuations. This investment company invests in emerging markets which can be more volatile than other more developed markets. This investment company invests more heavily than others in smaller companies, which can carry a higher risk because their share prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies and the securities are often less liquid. This investment company uses financial derivative instruments for investment purposes, which may expose it to a higher degree of risk and can cause investments to experience larger than average price fluctuations. The shares in the investment company are listed on the London Stock Exchange and their price is affected by supply and demand. The investment company can gain additional exposure to the market, known as gearing, potentially increasing volatility.

31.10.2025 Monthly Factsheet
Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited adopts a truly active approach; using the broad investment powers of the investment company the Company seeks businesses across the full market cap spectrum to best exploit the large investable universe. Idea generation draws on Fidelity's emerging markets investment platform, adopting a rigorous approach which allows for rapid information transmission through team and multiple layers of due diligence on each stock.
The portfolio is run in an unconstrained manner and reflects the very best ideas from across the emerging markets. Stock selection is bottom-up and driven by fundamentals and the Portfolio Manager takes a consistent approach focusing on quality, consistency of returns and a reasonable price. The portfolio is constructed in a benchmark agnostic manner, only owning stocks represented in the market index when they offer the characteristics outlined above. Stocks present in the market index will generally only be bought for the fund if they satisfy the selection criteria and offer an adequate level of total return. Sector and country allocation are therefore residual exposures resulting from the combination of the underlying individual long and short positions that are selected for the portfolio.
The Company utilises enhanced investment powers; seeking to exploit a broad range of opportunities by adopting an active 'extension' investment style. This results in long positions which are focused on dominant franchises positioned to take advantage of structural growth opportunities and short positions are targeted at the weakest stocks
most exposed to competitive threats and financial distress. Using short positions, these weaker businesses form some of the additional investment opportunities that the Company can take advantage of, as an additional source of performance.
This factsheet contains information about the composition of the fund at a particular point in time. It aims to help you understand how the fund manager is positioned to achieve the fund's objectives.
The Equity Exposure table provides an overall view of the fund. Net Equity represents - in percentage terms - how much of the fund is invested in the market, netting off long and short positions. The higher the figure, the more the fund will take part in any market rises (or falls). It is important to note that Net Equity can be greater than 100% (for example if the manager is using derivative contracts) and when it is, the portfolio may be described as geared.
The exposure and positioning tables on page 2 break the fund down into a number of different views, each providing a different perspective on the fund's investments.

Portfolio composition data has been calculated and presented according to several general principles, which are listed below.
31.10.2025 Monthly Factsheet
Gross Market Exposure is the total of long exposures, plus the total of short exposures, and less the total of exposures hedging the portfolio, expressed as a percentage of shareholders' funds (Total Net Assets).
The net positive exposure to the market with short and hedge positions subtracted from long positions.
The value of any non-equity investments (excluding cash funds) expressed as a percentage of TNA.
This is 100% minus the fund's Net Equity exposure and minus Other. This leaves any residual cash exposure that is not invested in shares or via derivatives.
The total value of a company's assets less the total value of its liabilities is its net asset value (NAV). For valuation purposes it is common to divide net assets by the number of shares in issue to give the net assets per share. NAV calculations can include or exclude current financial year income. For the purposes of this factsheet, they are valued with assets including income and costs and with debt valued at the market.
If the share price of an investment company is higher than the net asset value (NAV) per share, the company is said to be trading at a premium. The premium is shown as a percentage of the NAV.
If the share price of an investment company is lower than the net asset value (NAV) per share, the company is said to be trading at a discount. The discount is shown as a percentage of the NAV.
Gearing is the Market Exposure figure (either gross or net) expressed in excess of Total Net Assets. It represents the additional exposure to the market above Shareholders' Funds.
The fair value of investments is initially taken to be their cost and is subsequently measured as follows: Listed investments are valued at bid prices, or last market prices, depending on the convention of the exchange on which they are listed; and
Unlisted investments are investments which are not quoted, or are not frequently traded, are stated at the Directors' best estimate of fair value and take account of the cost of the investment, recent arm's length transactions in the same or similar investments and financial performance of the investment since purchase.
The Company's total assets minus its total liabilities - also known as Shareholders' Funds. It represents the amount by which a company is financed through common and preferred shares.
The index used in the positioning tables on page 2 is the index defined in the Performance Comparator section on page 1.
Those companies in which the largest percentages of the investment company's total net assets are effectively invested (equity positions). Positions in other funds – including ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) - can appear in this table, but index derivatives form part of an "Other Index / Unclassified" category which will not appear.
Those equity positions which have the largest active weight relative to the index. Positions in other funds - including ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) - can appear in this table, but index derivatives form part of an "Other Index / Unclassified" category which will not appear. In the underweight table, any short position names have been withheld in line with Fidelity's disclosure policy.
