Fidelity Cuts Precious Metals Exposure

Eugene Philalithis, manager of Fidelity International’s MultiManager Income fund, has sold down precious metals.

Eugene Philalithis, manager of Fidelity International’s MultiManager Income fund, has sold down precious metals, Financial Times reports. He sold a precious metals exchange-traded fund, which made up 2.5% of his portfolio.

In commodities, he now only owns a 2% position in the Schroder Alternative Solutions Commodity fund, which holds some precious metals and makes his exposure 0.5%. Philalithis is concerned that commodity prices will suffer first as the global economy slows down.
