Wednesday June 13, 2012
by Walter Frank, editor MoneyletterWuth a six-month return of 9.5%, Fidelity Capital Appreciation ( FDCAX) lands at the top of the domestic stock universe and is a buy for all relevant portfolios.
Previously,, under Harry Lange, Fidelity Capital Appreciation was one of the top-performing mutual funds in the country, outperforming 97% of its large cap peers in the five years prior to his departure. Meanwhile, Fergus Sheil took over from Lange and carried on the 'go anywhere' investment style,. He can purchase growth, value, special situations and turnarounds; domestic and foreign; and micro-caps to large caps. He uses a combination of technical and fundamental analysis, and looks at macroeconomic facts and market conditions. At times, his investment moves have quite the contrarian feel. The fund is significantly overweight in consumer cyclicals. Recently, he has found opportunities in the retail industry, both with luxury retailers and at the other end, value retailers. For example, the fund owns Coach along with TJX and Bed Bath & Beyond. Its top holding, Apple, has also been a winner, up 38% this year. In the six calendar years since Sheil took over, the fund has been in the middle of the pack of better in all but one year. And the fund is on a roll in 2012, ranking in the top 1% with a 9.9% gain.

by Jack Bowers, editor Fidelity Monitor & Insight
