Issued pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 4 of the Disclosure and                  
Transparency Rules                                                                      
                                                                                        
Objective                                                                               
                                                                                        

The Company's objective is to achieve long term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio of "special situations" investments consisting primarily of

           
securities listed or traded on the London Stock Exchange.                               
                                                                                        
The Company's primary objective is measured by the total return of the share            
price over a 5 year period. The secondary aim is to make higher returns than            

the competition and the market, as measured by the AIC UK Growth Sector and the FTSE All-Share Index.

                                                                   
                                                                                        
Benchmark                                                                               
                                                                                        
The returns are compared against cash returns and the total return from the             
FTSE All-Share Index.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns. The value of investments can go down as well as up. For funds that invest in overseas markets, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the value of an investment. Investments in small and emerging markets can be more volatile than other more developed markets. Source of performance: Datastream as at 30 November 2012. Basis: bid-bid with net income reinvested. Fidelity only gives information about its own products and services and does not provide investment advice based on individual circumstances.
