Fidelity Advisor Low-Priced Stock Fund Class A (FLPCX)

Overview

The fund in question is tailored towards investors aiming for exposure to a mix of low-priced, potentially undervalued stocks which mainly consists of small and medium-sized companies. This strategic approach focuses on stocks priced at or below $35 per share or those with an earnings yield at or above the median for the Russell 2000® Index. By maintaining a portfolio that is at least 80% invested in such low-priced stocks, the fund seeks to leverage the growth potential and value opportunities within this market segment. Additionally, the fund does not limit its investments strictly to these criteria; it also considers stocks that do not fall into the category of low-priced, as well as both domestic and foreign issuers. This flexibility allows for a diversified investment approach, accommodating both "growth" and "value" stocks in its portfolio. Through this strategy, the fund aims to attract investors interested in tapping into the often overlooked potential of smaller companies, while still maintaining a diversified exposure to different stock types and geographical regions.

Products and Services

The fund offers a range of investment opportunities focused on realizing the growth potential within the low-priced stock segment. Each investment avenue is carefully chosen to align with the fund’s strategy and objectives.

• Investment in Low-Priced Stocks: The foundation of the fund's strategy, focusing on stocks priced at or below $35 per share or with an earnings yield at or above the median for the Russell 2000® Index. This approach targets small and medium-sized companies with the potential for high growth or significant value realization.
• Flexible Investment Options: Beyond its core focus on low-priced stocks, the fund also explores investment opportunities in stocks that may not necessarily be considered low-priced. This includes looking at stocks of various sizes, including those of large companies, when they present a compelling value or growth opportunity.
• Domestic and Foreign Issuers: The fund does not constrain its investments to domestic stocks only. By investing in both domestic and foreign issuers, it takes a global approach to its investment strategy, which helps in diversification and taking advantage of growth opportunities in various markets across the world.
• Growth and Value Stocks: Keeping a balanced perspective, the fund invests in both "growth" stocks, which are expected to outperform the market in terms of revenue or earnings growth, and "value" stocks, which are perceived to be undervalued compared to their financial performance and future prospects. This dual approach allows the fund to hedge against market volatility and take advantage of different economic cycles.
