Multiplied across the workforce, this commitment adds substantial value to the company.” Edward C Johnson 3d, Chairman

Yesterday

Founded in 1946 in Boston, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR Co) was set up by Edward C Johnson 2d, a single investor with one simple philosophy — to help others invest successfully. 1969 saw the launch of Fidelity International in Bermuda as an administrative and management centre for offshore funds. Barely pausing for breath, a Tokyo subsidiary was set up later that year to provide Japanese research services. By 1973 a research subsidiary in London had been established providing unit trust investment advice for UK investors. Initially the London office was just a research office covering the UK and European markets. However, it quickly expanded to become an integrated investment group. By 1979 growth was so swift that Fidelity’s corporate aims could best be met by establishing Fidelity International as an entity separate to FMR Corp. Fidelity International Limited (FIL) was born.

Today

The success story continues, and it goes on 24 hours a day. With offices in most of the world’s economic centres, trading on all the major stock markets, Fidelity International provides investment products and services to individuals and institutions outside the US. And together with FIL’s affiliate FMR Corp, Fidelity now manage assets of over $1 trillion on behalf of 15 million private and institutional investors world-wide, making us the world’s largest independent fund manager.

Tomorrow

We’re not stopping there. FIL already has offices throughout Europe, including the UK, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, Spain, Sweden, Italy and Ireland. More will follow soon. Meanwhile, with no let up in the pace, we're also expanding our presence in the Asia/Pacific Rim. Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Australia and our recently opened office in Dubai, all anticipate rapid growth.
