We have assigned Fidelity European Opportunities a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Neutral. The fund had been placed Under Review following the announced management change. It previously held a Silver rating. Alberto Chiandetti took over for former manager Colin Stone on 1 Oct 2014. Chiandetti gained most of his investment experience in the Italian market. He is also responsible for two single-country strategies--Fidelity Italy since 2008 (Morningstar Analyst Rating of Silver), and Fidelity Switzerland since 2011 (Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral). This is his first time running a European strategy. We expect to see relevant changes to the strategy. Over a full market cycle, he has proved able to execute his process well at the helm of Fidelity Italy. That said, his past results are not fully relevant for this product, because there are relevant differences in terms of investable universe and opportunity set compared to the country funds. We therefore assign a Neutral rating to reflect the uncertainties surrounding the future of this strategy.
