Following the Morningstar OBSR Analyst Ratings Meeting on the 8th August 2013, we have downgraded the Fidelity Funds Japan Advantage fund to a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Neutral. The fund was previously Under Review following the announcement of the former manager Ronald Slattery’s decision to move back to the US for personal reasons. The new manager, Mark Buffett, took charge soon afterwards in October 2012. He is an experienced manager and has a well-resourced team of analysts and portfolio managers backing him. However, we note that this is Mr Buffett’s first attempt at managing a value-orientated fund that is benchmarked against the MSCI Japan Value.  We would like to see the manager add value relative to the index and peer group over a longer time period and under different market conditions.
