FIDELITY INVESTMENT TRUSTS 30 JUNE 2012

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.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The economic outlook for the UK remains highly uncertain. Despite some positive developments in June, the debt crisis is not going to be resolved quickly and volatility is likely to continue for some time to come. However, I remain confident that companies that are able to demonstrate potential of generating good long term earnings growth even in a tough economy are well-placed to withstand these headwinds.

Sanjeev Shah, Portfolio Manager

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

The Trust's NAV rose by 5.2% compared to the index, which rose by 4.8%. Stock selection within the banking sector drove returns in light of positive expectations of a resolution to the European debt crisis. At stock level, the holding in Lloyds Banking Group was the top contributor. The lack of exposure to Barclays and mining group Xstrata also added to relative performance as their shares fell during the month owing to the furore over the manipulation of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and doubts about the merger with Glencore, respectively. However, the holding in online gaming firm Ladbrokes declined following a profit warning for its Digital division.

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 POSITIONS

The ten largest holdings are shown as a percentage based on total exposure which is the fixed asset investments plus the fair value of the underlying securities within the derivative instruments.

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.
