Following the news that Hiroyuki Ito has joined Fidelity to run the Fidelity Funds Japan fund, we have placed the fund's Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ Under Review. The fund previously held a Neutral rating. We view Mr Ito as an experienced and capable portfolio manager. He was latterly head of Japanese equities at Goldman Sachs Asset Management and lead manager of the previously Bronze-rated Goldman Sachs Japan Portfolio Base fund, prior to stepping down in February 2014. We will meet with Mr Ito in due course to assess his plans for the fund and to understand how he plans to avail himself of the new resources available to him.
