Charlie Hebard and Michael Kim provide an update on Fidelity Long-Term Leaders Fund, the Fidelity Disruption™ Funds, and discuss the importance of identifying and assessing long-term industry leaders worldwide. The team believes that disruptive companies may shape what the market looks like for years to come, responding to advances in technology, emerging industries, and changing consumer preferences. Charlie, managing director of research, and Michael, quantitative analyst, explain to host Pamela Ritchie what and who these funds are for, and why these types of products matter in 2022. Charlie expands, noting the funds look to invest in companies the team believes may disrupt profit pools, to become the mega-cap companies of tomorrow. Also discussed today are factors to consider for the markets in both the short and long term, valuations, inflation and commodities, among other topics.
