Dhananjay Phadnis took over this fund from long-serving portfolio manager Allan Liu on March 1, 2015. While Liu was a market veteran, having managed portfolios since 1990, Phadnis is a relative newcomer but one to watch. He has a strong track record running an Asia-Pacific ex-Japan pilot fund since February 2011, outperforming his benchmark by more than 4% per annum on a gross-of-fees basis. He will be applying the same quality-growth approach for Fidelity South East Asia, which gives us cause for optimism. Further, Phadnis previously managed Fidelity Indonesia, which has a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Silver. That fund is our top pick in this space because of his strong stock-picking and portfolio-construction abilities. While it is early days for Phadnis on Fidelity South East Asia, we think investors here are in good hands. We have therefore awarded the fund our Bronze rating. The fund was previously Under Review following the change in manager.
