Fidelity Global Bond Currency Neutral Fund

Investment Strategy

Fidelity Global Bond Currency Neutral Fund aims to hedge foreign currency exposure back to Canadian dollars, thus providing the benefit of global developed markets while reducing currency risk.

Currency Neutral Funds use derivatives to mitigate the Fund's exposure to changes in exchange rates between developed market currencies and the Canadian dollar. The investment approach used by the Funds, while effective in reducing exchange rate risk, will not completely eliminate the impact of currency fluctuations. The Fund's returns will differ from the local currency returns of its underlying fund.

Volatility meter

The volatility meter uses methodology recommended by the Fund Risk Classification Task Force of the Investment Funds Institute of Canada. The Task Force prescribes risk assessment based on historical volatility risk as measured by the standard deviation of fund performance. The Task Force also acknowledges that other types of measurable and nonmeasurable risk may exist. The Task Force reminds investors that historical performance may not be indicative of future returns and a fund’s historical volatility may not be indicative of future volatility.
