Fund Performance

Morningstar's Chris Davis writes, "September 2010 marked Will Danoff's 20th anniversary at the helm of Fidelity Contrafund. It's a feat worth celebrating not solely because of the length of Danoff's tenure but also his tremendous success: The fund's 12.8% annualized return since his start smokes the 8.8% return posted by the S&P 500 Index."

In the October 2009 edition of Fidelity Insight, Eric M. Kobren says, "It's important to remember that Contra is somewhat more defensively positioned than Fidelity's more tech-heavy growth funds. It will likely lag them a bit when stocks are really running (but fare better when the market is less kind)."
