Fidelity Fund Bets on Midcaps Saying Tariff Shock Is Over
- Fund favors midcap shares from Japan, Germany and China
- German stocks to benefit from fiscal spending, domestic demand
Financial markets have seen the worst of Donald Trump’s tariff threats, helping make midcap stocks an attractive buy as the outlook improves, according to a Fidelity International money manager.
Japan, Germany and China midcaps account for about 11% of Fidelity’s growth and income fund — making them some of the strategy’s highest conviction trades, said George Efstathopoulos. In contrast, there was “very limited exposure” to such stocks about 18 months ago.
