Our take

Fidelity Investments, formally known as the Fidelity Fund, has been a leading financial services provider since the 1940s and has seen massive expansion over the latter half of the 20th century. With more than $10 trillion in assets under Fidelity, it is one of the largest asset managers in the world.

Fidelity has been operating as a multinational since the 60s and has offices across 9 countries through the moniker Fidelity International, now Fidelity Worldwide Investment. The industries served by Fidelity are widespread and its clients number in the millions. In 2018, Fidelity opened a service focused on investments in the digital space, focusing on innovations within the bitcoin sector.

As a longstanding leader, Fidelity is well set to maintain its position as well as expand its market share as it develops new features to keep pace with the evolving fintech industry.
