Fidelity Japan Trust – fund manager interview

Fidelity Japan Trust – fund manager interview

Nicholas Price recently marked his fifth anniversary as portfolio manager for Fidelity Japan Trust. He discusses the impact the coronavirus crisis has had on Japanese businesses and society, and how he is responding to the themes and opportunities that have emerged from the pandemic.

Key points from the interview include:
• How the trust’s very well-established team on the ground in Japan provides many investment ideas, often in smaller, unique companies which are under-researched by the market.
• The factors that have contributed to FJV’s strong performance track record, both recently and over the long term.
• The challenges which lie ahead for the trust and markets generally.

FJV targets long-term capital growth by investing in Japanese companies. This focus on capital growth, combined with the low level of dividends historically on offer from Japanese companies, means that the trust does not pay a dividend.
