Fidelity Investments Canada Ltd. launched its Viewpoint Fall 2006 national road show today in Burlington, Ontario. Entitled Minds on What Matters, the tour is taking new ideas, products and retirement research to thousands of financial advisors across Canada.

The 16-city tour runs through November 16 and features Fidelity’s top experts discussing relevant and timely issues.

Income trusts are top of mind these days for investors and advisors. Cecilia Mo, portfolio manager of the top-ranked Fidelity Income Trust Fund will take part in an interactive question and answer session, providing her expert views on the trust market.

Everyone is talking about saving for retirement, but very few are talking about what happens when you get there. Peter Drake, vp, retirement and economic research for Fidelity Investments Canada, will present new Fidelity research on lifetime income planning, outlining the opportunity for advisors to differentiate themselves and grow their business.

Alan Wilkinson, investment director, Fidelity Management and Research will give attendees his market outlook for both the global and Canadian markets, including discussing recent volatilities.

Fidelity is also introducing several new offerings for advisors and their clients seeking yield: a new currency-neutral version of Fidelity American High Yield Fund; a 5% cash-flow option of the award winning Tax-Efficient Systematic Withdrawal Plan or T-SWP; and to make T-SWP even easier to use, an on-line calculator to calculate the cash flow it generates.

The new Fidelity American High Yield Currency Neutral Fund responds to the needs of investors and advisors who want the diversification benefits of the U.S. high-yield market but also want to minimize their foreign currency exposure. The currency-neutral fund will employ a passive currency hedge to offset fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

The new 5% T-SWP builds on the success of Fidelity’s 8% T-SWP option and offers more opportunity for capital preservation, cash flow increases in the future and inflation protection. The service is free for investors and is available on seventeen Fidelity funds, including recent addition Fidelity Global Real Estate Fund. Fidelity’s longstanding 8% T-SWP offers higher monthly cash flow and greater potential for tax efficiency, as more return of capital can be distributed. Fidelity was the first mutual fund company in Canada to offer this service.

With its new on-line T-SWP calculator, Fidelity has now also made it easier for investors and advisors to calculate how much monthly cash flow they will get from their T-SWP investment. Investors can access the T-SWP calculator at www.fidelity.ca/cashflow. Advisors can use their dealer rep code to access the calculator at www.fidelity.ca/tswpcalculator.

The Viewpoint 2006 Tour is visiting the following Canadian cities starting on November 6, 2006. Advisors can register at www.fidelity.ca/viewpointtour.
