Investment Approach

The Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Opportunities SMA seeks to invest in a combination of high-conviction ideas from a selection of Fidelity portfolios across the U.S. large-cap spectrum. This "best ideas" approach aggregates insights from multiple Fidelity portfolio managers, creating a diversified yet concentrated portfolio of the firm's highest-conviction positions.

Key Strategy Characteristics

  • "Best ideas" portfolio sourced from across Fidelity's large-cap strategies
  • Larger portfolio size (70-100 holdings) provides diversification while maintaining active bets
  • Aggregates insights from multiple portfolio managers for enhanced diversification
  • Style-agnostic approach spans growth, value, and core strategies

Risk Considerations

  • • Active management risk - strategy may underperform its benchmark
  • • Manager selection risk - performance depends on which Fidelity managers' ideas are included
  • • Large-cap concentration limits exposure to mid- and small-cap opportunities
  • • Strategy aggregates diverse viewpoints which may dilute individual insights

Consider a Data-Driven Systematic Alternative

While aggregating managers' best ideas has merit, SharpeMetrix offers a systematic approach that removes subjective biases and consistently applies proven factors—no matter who's at the helm.

No Manager Risk

Our systematic approach eliminates key-person risk. Performance isn't dependent on which managers are included—it's driven by data signals that work consistently over time.

Flat-Fee Pricing

Unlike traditional SMAs with asset-based fees, SharpeMetrix offers transparent flat-fee pricing that scales with your practice.

Transparent Methodology

See exactly how portfolios are constructed. No black box aggregation—just clear, rules-based factor combinations you can explain to clients.
