Investment management
I've invested with Fidelity Canada for over five years and have been very pleased with the performance across their equity and bond funds. Their ESG integration is genuine, not just marketing. Quarterly reports are detailed and transparent. Fund managers clearly communicate their strategy and positioning.
Pros: Strong performance, genuine ESG, transparent reporting
Cons: Minimum investments can be high for some funds
Fidelity Canada has a proven track record over decades. Their core funds have performed well through various market cycles. I appreciate their focus on fundamental research rather than chasing short-term trends. The client portal could be more user-friendly but the investment quality compensates.
Pros: Long track record, fundamental research approach
Cons: Client portal needs modernization
Fidelity Canada\'s research team produces excellent market commentary and investment analysis. Their model portfolios are well-constructed and regularly rebalanced. Performance attribution is clearly presented. I've found their insights valuable for my own investment decisions.
Pros: Excellent research, good model portfolios
Cons: Could offer more educational content for retail investors
Fidelity Canada consistently delivers above-benchmark returns in most of their flagship funds. The risk management is sophisticated and I appreciate how they communicate during market downturns. Their digital platform for tracking investments has improved significantly. Customer service team is knowledgeable.
Pros: Above-benchmark returns, strong risk management, good comms
Cons: Fund documentation can be complex
