About FJSCX

The Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund is a mutual fund dedicated to seeking long-term capital growth by investing primarily in Japanese companies with smaller market capitalizations. Emphasizing a country-specific equity strategy, this fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities of Japanese issuers and other investments economically linked to Japan. The fund's approach involves rigorous fundamental analysis to identify high-quality small-cap companies with stable returns on capital, strong free cash flow, and durable competitive advantages.

Through this focused exposure, the Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund provides investors access to the dynamic segment of Japan’s equity market, playing a vital role for those seeking diversification and participation in the potential growth of Japan’s small to mid-sized enterprises.
