Celebrating 10 Years of North American Equity Class – Darren Lekkerkerker

Last week we celebrated a milestone. Fidelity North American Equity Class officially turned 10! In the decade since its inception, the fund has navigated a few small moments you may remember - oil shocks, trade tensions, a global pandemic, and a rapid rate-hike cycle - all while staying true to its disciplined approach to investing across the continent. As today's guest looks back on the last 10 years, what lessons stand out? And how do those learnings shape his outlook for the decade ahead? Joining this episode to reflect on all this and more is North American Equity Class portfolio manager, Darren Lekkerkerker.
