If you don't have Flash® player, or if the Guide does not work properly with your current Flash® player, you can download the latest version free.

The Guide will open up in a new window that you can resize by dragging the bottom right corner or hitting F11 on your keyboard. On the top navigation bar you can type in a fund's name or ticker to call up it's page in the Guide, or click on the "Select from fund list" button.

In a number of places on each fund’s page in the Guide, you will find a link to Rank FXXXX (fund’s ticker).

This will call up a new window which will show that fund compared to other Fidelity funds. At the bottom of the window you will see choices for the universe of Fidelity funds you would like as a comparison.

In the example below for Blue Chip Growth's Fund Snapshot information, you could select to compare it with other Large Cap Growth Funds (as in this screen shot), Other Large Cap Funds or All of Fidelity's Domestic Stock funds.

You can click on any header on the ranking table to sort the funds by that item in either ascending (one click) or descending (click again) order which will be indicated by an up or down arrow in the header. For example, in the screen shot above, the data has been sorted by Median Market Cap in descending order from largest to smallest.

The Guide will be updated daily, although most information won't change that often. Performance data will change daily, and when new managers are assigned by Fidelity, that information will change (a click on the Fund Manager's name at the top of a fund's page will bring up their background.) and other information such as holdings data will change as soon as it is released by Fidelity (the as of dates are shown on the page).

If there is a news item about a fund, for example a new write-up from one of our analysts, or a dividend payment is announced, a red "news" button will appear next to the fund in the fund listing page as well as on that fund's page in the guide. Just click on the button to access the item.

That is all you have to know. We hope you find the new online Guide useful and as always, we welcome your feedback.

Troubleshooting - since launching the Guide we've made note of some of the most common technical issues reported to us by our members.

Maximizing Computer Speed: To maximize the speed in which you're able to retrieve Guide information, we strongly recommend that you update your PC with the latest version of Flash® player. After you've done so, please remember to reboot your computer.

With that in mind, older PCs may still need a little extra time to download files. We are in the process of engineering our software to improve the speed of retrieval. We hope that this enhancement will be ready in the next few days.

Monitor cutting off right hand side of Guide: If your monitor is cutting off the right hand side of the Guide window, this means that your computer's screen resolution is set to 800x600 and the Guide requires a wider area. We are looking to develop a long-term solution, but here is a temporary workaround:

Go into your control panel and double click Display then click on the Settings tab. You should be able to manipulate your screen resolution (usually it's a little slider) - change it to 1024x768. This will make everything on your screen smaller, so you may want to change back to your old resolution for regular usage.

Trouble installing Flash® Player: If you've installed Flash® but can't view any Flash® files (perhaps just a blue screen when the Guide is launched) click on the link below and read Adobe's technical solutions.
