Portfolio Manager Commentary

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.

Key Risks

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.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited

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.

Portfolio Construction – Explained

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.

How data is calculated and presented

Portfolio composition data has been calculated and presented according to several general principles, which are listed below.

  • Aggregation : all investments, including derivatives, linked to a particular issuing company have been combined to form a total percentage holding for each company. The aggregate holding is referred to in this factsheet as a position. Where a company is listed in two separate countries, each listing may be classified as a separate issuing company. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and derivatives on ETFs are treated as individual securities – ie not aggregated.
  • Categorisation : for investments that have underlying securities we use the attributes of the underlying issuing company or common share to determine the appropriate sector, market capitalisation band and geographic area.
  • Derivatives: all derivatives are included on an exposure basis and, where necessary, are delta-adjusted. Delta-adjusting expresses derivatives in terms of the equivalent number of shares that would be needed to generate the same return.
  • "Basket" securities: securities that represent a number of company shares like index futures or options – are allocated to categories (such as country) whenever possible. Otherwise they are included in the "Other Index / Unclassified" category.

Glossary / Additional Notes

Equity Exposure notes

GROSS MARKET EXPOSURE

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).

NET EQUITY

The net positive exposure to the market with short and hedge positions subtracted from long positions.

OTHER

The value of any non-equity investments (excluding cash funds) expressed as a percentage of TNA.

UNINVESTED CASH

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.

Investment Company Facts

NAV

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.

PREMIUM

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.

DISCOUNT

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

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.

FAIR VALUE

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.

General notes

TOTAL NET ASSETS (TNA)

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.

INDEX

The index used in the positioning tables on page 2 is the index defined in the Performance Comparator section on page 1.

TOP NET LONG POSITIONS

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.

TOP OVERWEIGHT & UNDERWEIGHT POSITIONS

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.

NET LONG POSITIONS CONCENTRATION

Illustrates the weight of the top 10, 20 and 50 equity positions in the Company and the weight of the top 10, 20 and 50 equity positions in the index. It does not attempt to show the coincidence of security ownership between Company and Index. The sector/industry classification used (i.e. GICS, ICB, TOPIX and IPD) varies by fund. Full descriptions can be found below.

ONGOING CHARGES

Ongoing Charges are taken from the Company's most recent Annual Report and represents the total of investment management fees and other expenses of the Company (excluding transaction costs, interest payments, tax and non-recurring expenses) expressed as a percentage of the average net asset value throughout the financial year.

More information is available at http://www.standardandpoors.com/indices/gics/en/us

ICB: The Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) is an industry classification developed by Dow Jones and FTSE. It is used to segregate markets into sectors within the macroeconomy. The ICB uses a system of 10 industries, partitioned into 20 supersectors, which are further divided into 41 sectors, which then contain 114 subsectors.
