Fidelity Investments Canada ULC Launches New Fidelity Global Growth Private Pool

New 85/15 Pool now available, along with enhanced fee rebate tiers

TORONTO, April 4, 2023 /CNW/ - Fidelity Investments Canada ULC ("Fidelity") launched Fidelity Global Growth Private Pool ("the Pool"), adding to Fidelity's Private Investment Program product lineup.

Through the Fidelity Private Investment Program, high net worth investors can gain access to pools that utilize Fidelity's proprietary research methods and investment strategies with an institutional-style investment management approach, focused on risk management. This program is designed around carefully selected and constructed pools, which aim to achieve specific objectives, while leveraging Fidelity's strong global capabilities to create solutions that can help investors achieve their financial goals. Fidelity Private Investment Pools also offer tax-efficient options.

The Pool aims to achieve high total investment return and is geared towards capital growth. It invests primarily in underlying funds, which generally invest, either directly or indirectly through other underlying funds, in global equity securities and/or fixed income securities. The Pool follows a neutral mix guideline of approximately 85% equity, and 15% fixed income and money market instruments.

Fidelity is also enhancing the fee rebate pricing tiers associated with the Fidelity Private Investment Program. Investors can obtain pricing benefits that grow progressively, meaning higher tiers have larger fee rebates. More information about the rebates can be found in the Pools' simplified prospectuses and amendment documents.

"At Fidelity, we're focused on creating a dynamic product lineup that offers targeted solutions to investors at every stage of their financial journey," said Kelly Creelman, Senior Vice President, Products and Marketing, Fidelity. "Investors looking for growth options beyond the traditional 60/40 may want to consider adding Fidelity Global Growth Private Pool to their portfolio."

The Pool is managed by Fidelity Investments' Global Asset Allocation (GAA) team portfolio managers David Wolf and David Tulk. The GAA team oversees asset allocation for a variety of Fidelity funds, including the Fidelity Managed Portfolios, Fidelity Monthly Income Funds and the balanced Private Pools, among others.

Key investor benefits:

Diversified exposure to equities and fixed income, with access to a wide range of underlying funds managed by Fidelity Investments' portfolio managers focusing on different geographies and investment styles.
Tactical asset allocation employed across multiple dimensions of the portfolio to take advantage of market opportunities and manage risk.
Combined strength of Fidelity Investments' Global Asset Allocation team and worldwide resources in a single solution, like Fidelity's other multi-asset class strategies.

As at April 4, 2023, investors in Fidelity Private Investment Program may qualify for reduced pricing through combined management and administration fee rebates (class) or distributions (trust) before sales tax ("fee rebates").

Fee reductions apply only on that portion of assets that fall within the specified tier. For example, if an investor holds $1 million in Series B securities of an equity Pool, then the reductions apply as follows: zero for the first $250,000 in assets; 5 basis points on that portion of assets above $250,000 and below $500,000; 10 basis points on that portion of assets greater than $500,000 up to $1 million.
