About FPBFX
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund is a mutual fund that primarily targets long-term capital growth by investing in stocks of companies located in, or economically tied to, the Pacific Basin region. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities from countries across the Pacific Rim, including Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, and others. By diversifying across multiple Pacific Basin markets, the fund provides broad exposure to an economically dynamic region characterized by rapid development and innovation, especially within the technology, industrial, and financial sectors. The portfolio is actively managed, relying on fundamental analysis to identify companies with strong business models, robust free cash flow, and consistent growth potential. Key holdings often include major industry leaders such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Tencent Holdings, and Samsung Electronics, illustrating its focus on both established and emerging market opportunities. Since its inception in 1986, the Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund has played a significant role in providing investors access to the growth prospects and diversification benefits of the broader Asia-Pacific equity markets.
