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.
