The survey’s surprising top-performer is Japan as ‘Abenomics’
encourages optimism from a low base, followed by Europe
where analysts are positive about corporate renewal, and
the US where the recovery is maturing. Caution
resonates for China, while emerging markets are
facing general softness, meaning reform
progress will be a key
differentiator.

Fidelity Composite Sentiment Indicator Our overall sentiment scores are based on an aggregate of five key indicators that capture the overall analyst view
on the companies within their sectors. The responses are weighted on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 the most positive) and aggregated on the basis of the market
cap of the relevant sector. The result is an indicator that is best used as a comparative tool rather than an absolute value.
