FIDELITY INVESTMENT TRUSTS 30 JUNE 2011

FIDELITY SPECIAL VALUES PLC AIMS TO PROFIT FROM STOCKS UNLOVED BY THE MARKET

Fidelity Special Values PLC invests mainly in UK-listed companies. The portfolio is likely to have a bias towards medium-sized and smaller companies. The portfolio manager is a value investor, naturally seeking out stocks that are often unloved and unfashionable at the current time.

PERFORMANCE RECORD

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

I expect a slow economic growth environment in the UK for the foreseeable future. The government's austerity measures may have a significant impact on economic growth and there may be a slowdown in the pace of corporate earnings expansion. This environment is one that should favour companies which have strong balance sheets, with the potential for good long-term profit growth in tough economic conditions and which are on attractive valuations. I continue to find such opportunities on a stock specific basis across a range of sectors including financials, pharmaceuticals, travel & leisure and technology.

Sanjeev Shah, Portfolio Manager

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

NAV -0.2%; benchmark -0.5%. Strong stock selection within the industrials, financials and technology sectors added value. At stock level, Laird was the top contributor. Shares in this electronic components manufacturer jumped after it rejected a takeover proposal from US rival Cooper Industries and also announced plans to exit its underperforming mobile handset antenna business. London Stock Exchange (LSE) was another notable contributor as its shares rose following reports that US-based Nasdaq is considering an offer for the company after LSE's plan to buy its Canadian counterpart TMX collapsed. The underweight stance in the mining sector detracted, although stock valuations within this sector do not appear attractive.

GLOSSARY

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.

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 EXPOSURE

Investment trusts have the ability to borrow additional money to invest, known as gearing. The trust has the ability to use bank loans, bank overdrafts and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) to increase its exposure to stocks. CFDs are used as a way of gaining exposure to the price movements of shares without buying the underlying shares directly.

OVERWEIGHT/UNDERWEIGHT

If a stock is deemed "overweight" this indicates that the portfolio has a higher exposure to a stock compared to its benchmark. If a stock is deemed "underweight" this indicates that portfolio has a lower exposure to a stock compared to its benchmark.

TOP 10 SECURITY HOLDINGS

The ten largest holdings by value are valued at their exposure and shown as a percentage of total exposure. The exposure of listed investments, unlisted and derivatives is their fair value and the exposure of contracts for difference is the fair value of the underlying listed investments in the contract.

SECTOR/GEOGRAPHICAL BREAKDOWNS

These are expressed as a percentage of total portfolio and cash. FAIR VALUE

The fair value of the listed investments is measured at bid prices or last prices quoted, depending on the convention of the exchange on which they are listed. Where permitted, unlisted investments, where there is not an active market, are valued using an appropriate valuation technique so as to establish what the transaction price would have been and derivative instruments are valued at the quoted trade price for the contract.
