The Fidelity Advisor International Growth SMA seeks to invest in companies benefiting from multiyear structural growth tailwinds and high barriers to entry that are trading at attractive valuations based on Fidelity's earnings estimates. The strategy focuses on developed international markets through the EAFE universe.

Key Strategy Characteristics

  • • Concentrated portfolios may experience greater volatility
  • • Strategy may underperform during value-oriented market cycles
