Fidelity Special Values PLC — Fund Information / Factsheet 2014

Aug 31, 2014

Investment Objective

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 Commentary

UK equities advanced in August amid expectations of a cease-fire in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Investors were also cheered by Bank of England Governor Mark Carney's statement that the central bank will not rush to raise interest rates.

Looking at the market today, I think it is appropriate to strike a note of caution over average valuations while noting that attractive opportunities still exist across different company size and industry categories. Value investors today have to work a little harder to find their next idea, and in this environment, the support I receive from our analysts is vital. The more stocks we can meet and work through, the higher the chances of finding the next stock that is going to drive performance for the Trust over the rest of 2014 and beyond.

Headline valuations of the FTSE 250 and Small Cap indices are at small premiums to historical averages, meaning that expectations are now relatively high in many stocks. By contrast, many of the largest stocks in the FTSE 100 are very cheap compared to their own histories and cash generating ability. I am running a number of positions in these very large stocks, including Royal Dutch Shell, HSBC and Sanofi, where I see significant potential for latent shareholder value to be unlocked.

In August, the Trust recorded NAV returns of 2.0%, compared to 2.2% for the index. Holdings in TDC, Total Produce and Games Workshop were among the notable detractors from returns during the month.

Key Risks

The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount invested. Overseas investments may be more volatile than established markets. The shares in the investment trust are listed on the London Stock Exchange and their price is affected by supply and demand. The investment trust can gain additional exposure to the market, known as gearing, potentially increasing volatility.

FIDELITY SPECIAL VALUES PLC 31 AUGUST 2014 FIDELITY INVESTMENT TRUSTS MONTHLY FACTSHEET

There are two key elements to Alex's investment approach:

1. Downside risk management

Alex looks for companies where there is limited downside risk. In other words, he wants to invest in companies that have exceptionally cheap valuations or some kind of asset that should stop their share prices falling below a certain level. This can be anything from inventory to intellectual property.

2. Unrecognised growth potential

Alex looks for events that could significantly improve a company's earning power, but are not currently reflected in the company's share price. These include changes in the company's competitors or market, a new product line or an expansion into new business areas.

What's more, the trust benefits from in-depth company and valuation analysis, drawing on the extensive Fidelity research platform.

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).

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.

Independent Assessment

Information in this section is the latest available at date of publication. Further details can be found in the Glossary section of this factsheet. As some ratings agencies may use past performance to produce their assessments, these are not a reliable indicator of future results.

Portfolio Construction – Explained 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.

• Categorisation: for aggregated investments we use the underlying attributes of the 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 ASSET EXPOSURE

Gross Asses Exposure expresses the value of the portfolio to which the Company is exposed, whether through direct or indirect investment (including the economic value of the exposure in the underlying asset of the derivatives, but excluding forward currency contracts).

NET EQUITY

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

Glossary / Additional Notes

OTHER

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

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 a figure representing any additional exposure to investments (borrowing), in excess of shareholders' funds, achieved using bank loans, bank overdrafts or Contracts for Difference (CFDs) to increase its exposure to stocks. The figure expressed is the company's Gross Asset Exposure in excess of its Net Assets.

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.

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 fund's total net assets are effectively invested. 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 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 positions in the fund and the weight of the top 10, 20 and 50 positions in the index. It does not attempt to show the coincidence of security ownership between fund and index. The sector/industry classification used (ie GICS, ICB, TOPIX and IPD) varies by fund. Full descriptions of GICS, ICB, TOPIX and IPD can be found in the glossary.

Glossary / Additional Notes

ONGOING CHARGES

The ongoing charges figure represents the charges taken from the fund over a year. It is calculated at the fund's financial year end and may vary from year to year. For new funds, the ongoing charges figure is estimated until the fund's financial year end.
