- Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (FFGCX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of companies principally engaged in the energy, metals & mining, and agriculture groups of industries; it provides active, equity-based exposure to global commodity markets through securities issued worldwide, with allocations across diversified market capitalizations using fundamental analysis focused on issuers' financial condition, industry position, and market/economic conditions. The fund's portfolio emphasizes sectors such as basic materials (approximately 56%), energy (33%), and consumer defensive (agriculture-related, 9%), with top holdings including Exxon Mobil Corp., Corteva Inc., Chevron Corp., Nutrien Ltd., and Archer-Daniels-Midland Co.; it maintains non-U.S. stock exposure around 58%, U.S. stocks at 40%, and cash at 1%, spanning regions including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Africa, and Latin America. Managed within Fidelity Investment Trust, the fund benchmarks performance against the MSCI ACWI Commodity Producers Sector Capped Index (NR USD) and is domiciled in the United States with a net expense ratio of 0.86%.
Launched on March 25, 2009, the fund is headquartered at Fidelity Investments' corporate offices in Boston, Massachusetts.
