About your team

The Portfolio Strategist will serve as a senior, client-facing representative of Fidelity International’s investment capabilities across asset classes, with a particular focus on multi asset, fixed income, equity, and alternatives. This role is intended to strengthen Fidelity’s external investment voice across Asia ex-Japan, with a clear emphasis on the wealth channel in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, where there is significant overlap between regional and global wealth client relationships.

Internally, the Portfolio Strategist will act as a bridge between Investment, Investment Directing, Product, Marketing, and Distribution, ensuring that Fidelity’s investment views and fund positioning are translated into clear, consistent, and client-relevant messaging.

About your role
You will act as a credible and compelling spokesperson for Fidelity’s investment franchises. You will represent Fidelity’s market views, portfolio positioning, and investment philosophy to wealth clients, distribution partners, and other key market stakeholders. The expectation is to bring a level of external presence, credibility, and cross-franchise representation comparable to the strongest investment-facing market representatives in the industry. This role will work closely with the Distribution team on client pitches, events, idea generation, and strategic engagement initiatives, helping to support fund awareness, deepen client relationships, and enhance commercial outcomes in priority wealth segments.

In addition, you will be:

• Representing Fidelity International’s investment capabilities across asset classes, with particular emphasis on multi asset, fixed income, equity, and alternatives, to clients and distribution partners in the wealth channel.

• Act as a senior external spokesperson for Fidelity’s investment franchises in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, articulating market views, portfolio positioning, and investment philosophy in a clear, compelling, and commercially relevant manner.

• Spend the majority of time in external engagement, including client meetings, distributor presentations, roadshows, events, panels, and other market-facing opportunities.

• Work closely with Distribution teams on client pitches, event support, idea generation, and strategic engagement plans for priority wealth and intermediary relationships.

• Build strong relationships with private banks, wealth platforms, intermediaries, fund selectors, gatekeepers, and other distribution partners, helping to position Fidelity as a trusted investment partner.

• Deliver high-quality presentations, market updates, investment commentaries, and fund-positioning materials tailored to external audiences and aligned with Fidelity’s house view.

• Translate complex investment ideas into clear, actionable messages that resonate with sophisticated wealth clients, distribution partners, and investment professionals.

• Partner with Investment Directors, Portfolio Managers, Product, Marketing, and Distribution teams to ensure consistency and alignment in external investment messaging.

• Capture and centralise regional client and distributor feedback, ensuring relevant insights are shared back into Investment, Product, and communication priorities.

• Contribute to the development of Fidelity’s regional focus-fund agenda, thematic campaigns, and thought-leadership priorities, in collaboration with relevant internal stakeholders.

• Support the overall client experience by ensuring timely, credible, and well-informed investment dialogue that enhances Fidelity’s visibility, relevance, and commercial impact in the regional wealth market.
