THE
UMWA CASH DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN OF 1988
INVESTMENT
OPTION:
Fidelity
Equity-Income Fund
Objective
|
The
Fidelity Equity-Income Fund seeks to obtain income by investing
primarily in a portfolio of high yielding equity securities
which provide a dividend yield greater than the Standard
& Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the S&P
500). In pursuing this objective, the fund also considers
the stocks' potential for capital appreciation.
|
Investment
Type |
The
Fidelity Equity-Income Fund is a mutual fund, managed by
Fidelity Investments, which invests primarily in income-producing
common and preferred stocks, and to a lesser degree, debt
securities of corporations. While seeking long-term growth,
its emphasis is to produce a higher income yield than the
S&P 500. |
Investment
Risk and Return |
The
Fidelity Equity-Income Fund has moderate-to-high price volatility
and return expectations as it seeks a higher income yield
than the S&P 500 and long-term growth at the same time.
Therefore, since the Fund invests mostly in common and preferred
stocks, the Fund's share price, yield, and total return
can fluctuate widely. |
Strategy
|
The
Fidelity Equity-Income Fund seeks to provide a steady stream
of quarterly dividends by investing primarily in high-yielding
stocks. By following an "income-driven" strategy,
capital appreciation is not expected to be comparable to
funds whose primary objective is growth. The Fund will also
invest in various debt obligations, such as convertible
bonds, high grade bonds and high yield bonds. |

Barclays

in the securities industry and is a leader in managing
equity-based
"index funds". |
Fund
Manager |
Fidelity
Investments, the Fund's manager, is one of America
's largest investment management organizations.
Founded in 1946, Fidelity has nearly $1 trillion in assets
currently under management and is a pioneer in "equity-income"
investing. |
Performance
|
The
chart below shows the annual total return of the Fidelity
Equity-Income Fund over each of the past 10 years. Total
return is the combination of dividends from stocks, interest
from bonds and the changes in market value over time. |
Over
the past 10 years, a hypothetical investment of $1,000 in
the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund would have grown to approximately
$2,446 assuming reinvestment of all distributions. Future
results, however, may be different than past performance.
|
Comparison
To Other Plan Funds |
The
Fidelity Equity-Income Fund offers the return potential
and volatility or "risk" usually associated with
stock funds whose primary objective is growth, such as the
Barclays Global Investors Equity Index Fund. It has more
return potential and volatility than the UMWA 401(k) Balanced
Fund, Vanguard GNMA Fund, the GIC Fund, or the Calvert Social
Investment Fund Money Market Portfolio. Over short periods
of time, however, the Fund can be more "risky" because it
can experience wide and unpredictable movements in the price
of its shares based on market fluctuations. |
Investment
Costs |
An
investor in the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund pays no commissions
or sales load. This fund does incur investment management
and expense fees based on the average assets of the fund.
For the year ended December 31, 2003
, total fund operating expenses were
0.72% of average assets or $7.20 per $1,000 invested. Plan
administrative expenses are not included in these fund expenses.
