For the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except per unit amounts)
1. Formation of the Fund Fidelity Emerging Markets Equity Investment Trust (Fund) is a unit trust formed under the laws of Ontario and governed by a Declaration of Trust dated December 1, 2011 (Inception Date), as amended thereafter from time to time. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units. Fidelity Investments Canada ULC (Fidelity), as manager and trustee of the Fund, is responsible for the day-to-day operations and provides all general management and administrative services. The investment advisor is responsible for the investment management of the Fund’s portfolio. On December 31, 2015, the investment advisor changed from FIAM LLC (formerly Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC) to Fidelity. The registered office of the Fund is located at 483 Bay Street, Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 2N7. The Fund offers Series O units, which are only available to other Fidelity products and are not available for public purchase. The Fund meets the definition of an investment entity and its purpose is to provide investment management services to its unitholders by investing its net assets for capital growth and/or investment income and by measuring its investment performance on a fair value basis. Refer to the Financial Instruments Risk note below for the Fund’s investment objective. 2. Basis of Preparation Statement of Compliance – These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently unless otherwise stated. The financial statements were authorized for issue by Fidelity’s board of directors on June 7, 2016. Functional and Presentation Currency – These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Fund’s functional currency. 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Measurement – These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investments and derivatives which are measured at fair value in the Statements of Financial Position. Use of Estimates and Judgments – Under IFRS, management is required to make certain estimates and judgments at the date of the financial statements. The principal financial statement components subject to significant accounting estimates and judgments include: Fair value measurements – The Fund may invest in financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market. Where applicable, these instruments are categorized in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy explained below. When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuation techniques will be applied in good faith and in accordance with procedures adopted by the manager. Factors used in determining fair value may include, but are not limited to, broker quotes from reputable pricing sources, market or security specific events. Fair value models use observable data, to the extent practical; however, the manager is required from time to time to make estimates and assumptions that are based on the best information available at that particular time. Changes in these estimates could impact the fair values of the financial instruments, and the impact could be material. The aggregate fair value of investments measured by valuation techniques as at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, is included at the end of the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Classification and measurement of financial instruments – The Fund has made significant judgments when determining the classification and measurement of its financial instruments under IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39). These judgments centre upon the determination that certain investments are held-for-trading and that the fair value measurement option can be applied to those that are not due to factors including performance evaluation and management of the Fund on a fair value basis. Presentation of financial instruments – The Fund has made significant judgments when determining the classification of its redeemable units as financial liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 – Financial Instruments – Presentation (IAS 32). These judgments centre upon the determination that the Fund’s redeemable units’ entitlements include a contractual obligation to distribute any net income and net realized capital gains at least annually in cash (at the request of the unitholder) and, therefore, the ongoing redemption feature is not the units’ only contractual obligation. Investment and Derivative Valuation – Investments, excluding derivatives, are designated at their fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39 and are carried at their fair value. Derivatives are classified as held-for-trading in accordance with IAS 39 and are carried at fair value. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to fair value its investments and derivatives into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.) Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available) 17

(Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except per unit amounts)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Information on transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, is included at the end of the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 securities, where applicable, is included at the end of the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments and derivatives by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event that the last sales price or official closing price is not readily available, or is outside the bid-ask spread, the point within the bid–ask spread that is most representative of fair value based on specific facts and circumstances will be used. For foreign equity securities, when significant market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities are used and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Cash – Cash is comprised of cash on deposit and may include cash equivalents which are short-term debt instruments with terms to maturity of less than 90 days at acquisition which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments. Foreign currencies are comprised of cash amounts denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars, which are on deposit with the custodian to facilitate the settlement of foreign denominated security transactions. Cash is carried at amortized cost which approximates its fair value. The Fund did not hold any cash equivalents as at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Impairment of Financial Assets – At each reporting date, the Fund assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset carried at amortized cost is impaired. If such impairment exists, the Fund recognizes the difference between the amortized cost of the financial assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate as an impairment loss on the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Such impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods in the Statements of Comprehensive Income if the conditions that lead to the initial recognition of the loss diminish or cease to exist. Other Assets and Liabilities – Other assets and liabilities may include amounts due to or from the custodian, affiliates or other counterparties for accrued income, investment transactions, unit transactions, accrued expenses and other unsettled transactions at period end. These amounts are classified as loans and receivables or financial liabilities and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their shortterm nature. Offsetting Financial Instruments – Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statements of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Classification of redeemable units issued by the Fund – In accordance with IAS 32, the Fund’s redeemable units’ entitlements include a contractual obligation to distribute any net income and net realized capital gains at least annually in cash (at the request of the unitholder) and, therefore, the ongoing redemption feature is not the units’ only contractual obligation. Therefore, the Fund’s redeemable units do not meet the criteria for classification as equity and have been classified as financial liabilities on the Statements of Financial Position. The Fund’s obligation for net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units is recorded at the redemption amount. As at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Fund’s net asset value per unit may differ by less than $0.01 from its net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units per unit calculated in accordance with IFRS as a result of normal reporting period end procedures to close off the books and records. Investment Transactions, Income Recognition and Transaction Costs – Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at their trade date. The cost of investments is determined on an average cost basis, excluding commissions and other portfolio transaction costs. However, for presentation purposes, the Schedule of Investments includes broker commissions and other trading expenses. Income from investments is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recognized on the ex–dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investment trusts are recorded as income, capital gains or a return of capital based on the best information available to the manager. Due to the nature of these investments, actual allocations could vary from this information. Distributions from investment trusts treated as a return of capital reduce the average cost of the underlying investment trust. Net realized gains and losses from the sale of investments and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments are calculated with reference to average cost of the related investment securities which exclude transaction costs and may include proceeds received from litigation.

Transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions, incurred in the purchase and sale of securities by the Fund are recognized as “Commissions and other portfolio costs” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Foreign taxes are estimated based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and actual rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Investment income is recorded gross of foreign taxes withheld. Foreign Currency Translation – Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars at the period-end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate on the date of the respective transaction. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included in the “Net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments” and exchange rate fluctuations on other foreign currency transactions are included in the “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions” and “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on other net assets in foreign currencies” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Reverse Repurchase Agreements – Uninvested cash balances may be transferred into one or more joint trading accounts where these balances are invested in reverse repurchase transactions. In reverse repurchase transactions, U.S. or Canadian Government securities are purchased from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the securities at a higher price at a specified future date. The difference in price is reported as interest income. Credit risk arises from the potential for a counterparty to default on its obligation to repurchase the security. The risk is managed by the use of counterparties acceptable to Fidelity and by the receipt of the securities as collateral. The value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the daily fair value of the cash invested. Any reverse repurchase agreements open at period end are included in the Schedule of Investments.

Securities Lending – The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending program with its custodian, State Street Trust Company of Canada. The aggregate market value of all securities loaned under securities lending transactions or sold in repurchase transactions cannot exceed 50% of the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund receives collateral (in the form of obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada, or a province thereof, or by the United States government or its agencies) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount of at least 105% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined daily at the close of business of the Fund and any additional 19
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
(Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except per unit amounts)
required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. There were no security loans outstanding as at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Futures Contracts – The Fund may invest in futures contracts to manage its exposure to the markets. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on the settlement date. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract, realized gains or losses are recognized, and are recorded in the Statements of Comprehensive Income as “Net realized gain (loss) on derivatives.” The Fund pledged $1,515 (March 31, 2015: $680) as cash collateral, which is included in “Cash collateral” in the Statements of Financial Position. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statements of Financial Position. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Futures Contracts.” This amount reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract’s terms. Per Unit from Operations - The increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units resulting from operations per unit in the Statements of Comprehensive Income represent the increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units resulting from operations for the Fund, divided by the weighted average units outstanding for the Fund during the period as follows: Weighted Average Units
Period ended March 31, 2016 Series O Period ended March 31, 2015 Series O

Statements of Cash Flows – When preparing the Statements of Cash Flows, the Fund nets the rollover activity of its short-term investments, and includes only the net cash flow impact in “Purchases of investments and derivatives” or “Proceeds from sale and maturity of investments and derivatives”, as applicable. Additionally, in accordance with IFRS, the Fund’s Statements of Cash Flows excludes non-cash transactions from its operating and financing activities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was issued by the IASB in July 2014 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces a model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking expected loss’ impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The new single, principle based approach for determining the classification of financial assets is driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments, which will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. It also includes changes in respect of an entity’s own credit risk in measuring liabilities elected to be measured at fair value, so that gains caused by the deterioration of an entity’s own credit risk on such liabilities are no longer recognised in profit or loss. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, however is available for early adoption. In addition, the entity’s own credit risk changes can be early applied in isolation without otherwise changing the accounting for financial instruments. The Fund is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 9 and has not yet determined when it will adopt the new standard. 4. Expenses and Other Related Party Transactions Management and Advisory Fees – Fidelity serves as the manager and investment advisor of the Fund. The Fund pays Fidelity a monthly management and advisory fee for their services and the provision of key management personnel to the Fund, based on the net asset value of, calculated daily and payable monthly. No management and advisory fees are charged with respect to the Series O units. Independent Review Committee Fees - The Independent Review Committee (IRC), as required under National Instrument 81-107, reviews conflict of interest matters referred to it by the manager and provides recommendations or approves actions, as appropriate, that are in the best interest of the funds. There are currently four members of the IRC who are independent of Fidelity and its affiliates. IRC members are compensated by way of an annual retainer fee and a per meeting attendance fee, as well as reimbursed for expenses associated with IRC duties. These costs are allocated among the individual funds proportionately by assets. No IRC fees are charged with respect to the Series O units. Sales Tax - Certain provinces have harmonized their Provincial Sales Tax (PST) with the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) combines the GST rate of 5% with the PST rate of certain provinces. The Provincial HST liability or refund is calculated using the residency of unitholders and the value of their interests in the Fund as at specific times, rather than the physical location of the Fund. The effective GST/HST rate charged to the Fund is based on the unitholders’ proportionate investments by province, using each
Annual Reportport
20
province’s HST rate or GST rate in the case of non-participating provinces. All amounts are included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income as Sales tax. Other Operating Expenses - Fidelity is responsible for the payment of all expenses relating to the operation of the Fund except for brokerage commissions, interest charges and taxes which are paid by the Fund. Commissions and Other Portfolio Costs - Commissions and other portfolio costs paid for security transactions during the period were $1,432 (March 31, 2015: $2,091), of which $2 (March 31, 2015: $4) were paid to brokerage firms that are affiliates of Fidelity. The Fund may execute certain portfolio trades with brokers who reimbursed a portion of their commissions to the Fund. Commissions reimbursed under this arrangement were $297 (March 31, 2015: $215) and are included in “Commissions and other portfolio costs” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. In addition, a portion of commissions may be paid for research. The total of such payments was $508 (March 31, 2015: $365). Amounts paid for research provided to the Fund by executing brokers are estimates made by Fidelity. Fidelity has established procedures to assist them in making a good faith determination that the Fund received a reasonable benefit considering the value of research goods and services and the amount of brokerage commissions paid. 5. Taxation and Distributions The Fund qualifies as a unit trust under the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada). For tax purposes, the Fund has a December year–end. In each tax year, the Fund declares and credits as due and payable sufficient net investment income and net realized capital gains to unitholders such that the Fund will not be subject to income taxes. As a result, the Fund does not record income taxes under IAS 12 – Income Taxes (IAS 12) and accordingly does not recognize the deferred tax benefit associated with tax loss carry forwards and other taxable temporary differences. The Fund is subject to foreign withholding taxes imposed by certain countries on investment income. Withholding taxes are accrued for in conjunction with the accrual for the related investment income and are included in “Foreign taxes withheld” on the Statements of Comprehensive Income and “Other payables and accrued expenses” on the Statements of Financial Position. In addition, certain countries apply withholding taxes on capital gains on investments and such taxes are accrued against the relevant security and included in other payables and accrued expenses. The taxes paid on realized gains from sales of securities paid by the Fund and the accrued tax liability on unrealized gains on securities subject to withholding taxes are included in “Foreign taxes withheld “ and “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments “ in the Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively. At period end, the accrued tax liability on unrealized gains was as follows: March 31, 2016 ($)

Distributions are taxable in unitholders’ hands. At the end of each tax year, the character of the distributions is determined for tax purposes. Under the terms of the Declaration of Trust, the trustee may capitalize any distribution amount without any increase in the number of units outstanding. Capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future realized capital gains. As at the last taxation year-end, the Fund had no capital losses available to be carried forward. Non–capital losses may be carried forward for up to 20 tax years to reduce future taxable income, but expire in December of the year noted. As at the last taxation year-end, the Fund had no non–capital losses available to be carried forward. 6. Capital Risk Management Units issued and outstanding are considered to be the capital of the Fund. The capital of each series of the Fund is divided into an unlimited number of units of equal value, with no par value. All units in a series of the Fund rank equally with respect to distributions. A unitholder of the Fund is entitled to one vote for each one dollar in value of units owned. Fractional units are proportionately entitled to these rights. The Fund generally has no restrictions or specific capital requirements on the subscriptions and redemptions of units other than minimum subscription requirements; although, on rare occasions, Fidelity may temporarily suspend unitholders’ right to redeem units and postpone paying sale proceeds. The relevant movements attributable to unitholders are shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Units. In accordance with the objectives and the risk management policies outlined in the Financial Instruments Risk notes, the Fund endeavors to invest the subscriptions received in appropriate investments while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions. Such liquidity is managed by investing the majority of assets in investments that can be readily disposed and via the Fund’s ability to borrow up to 5% of its net asset value. Unit Transactions - Unit transactions for each Series were as follows:

Affiliated Ownership - As at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, Fidelity and its affiliates held 100% of the Fund. 7. Financial Instruments Risk The Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of financial instruments risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, other price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. Fidelity seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of these performance risks by employing professional, experienced portfolio advisors, by daily monitoring of positions and market events, and by diversifying the investment portfolio within the constraints of the investment mandate. The Fund may use derivative financial instruments to moderate certain risk exposures. Risk, as defined by Fidelity, is the mismatch of certain risk factors, such as the market capitalization, beta, common factors such as size, priceearnings ratio, price-to-book ratio and industry exposures, between a portfolio and its benchmark. Such mismatches may result in divergence of returns relative to the benchmark. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. A beta of 1 indicates that the security’s price will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security’s price will be more volatile than the market. For example, if a stock’s beta is 1.2, it’s theoretically 20% more volatile than the market. Fidelity’s objective is to provide consistent value-added return over the benchmark. Unsystematic risk is mitigated primarily through investments in a diverse portfolio of securities across many sectors, styles or regions of the market. Fidelity’s qualitative fundamental security selection is also well diversified across many analysts. Rather than relying on a single valuation process or quantitative model that implicitly assumes that past value-added returns of some sectors or styles will persist into the future, Fidelity’s analysts select securities based on their own unique valuation processes. The Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in emerging market countries. The Fund’s benchmark is a blended benchmark consisting of 95.0% MSCI Emerging Markets Index and 5.0% MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Index. Portfolio risk is monitored daily and reviewed monthly by an investment compliance group. In addition, there is a formal quarterly review of each fund. The investment compliance group, portfolio managers and the senior analysts attend a quarterly portfolio review. Portfolios within each strategy are reviewed relative to each other and to their benchmark. Active industry and security allocations are analyzed. Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Fund. The Fund’s own credit risk in the case of financial liabilities and a counterparty’s credit risk in the case of financial assets are considered, where applicable, in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments. The Fund may be exposed to indirect credit risk through its investments in any Underlying Fund. In addition, as part of its cash management, the Fund limits its direct exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of investments and other assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure as at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Collateralized reverse repurchase agreements may result in credit exposure in the event that the counterparty to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. The risk is managed by the receipt of the underlying securities as collateral and use of counterparties whose credit worthiness is considered sufficient based on Fidelity’s independent review. Credit risk exposure for derivative instruments is based on the Fund’s unrealized gain on the contractual obligations with the counterparty as at the reporting date. The Fund restricts its exposure to credit losses on derivative instruments by limiting its exposure to any one counterparty and by entering into transactions with counterparties who meet the minimum approved credit rating under securities regulations and other pre-set financial and non- financial criteria. Other than outlined above, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk to counterparties as at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Concentration Risk - Fidelity analyzes credit concentration based on the counterparty, industry and/or geographical location of the financial assets that the Fund holds. The following tables summarize the investment concentration risks that are relevant for the Fund based on its investment objective. Sector Mix

Fidelity regularly monitors the relative weights of individual securities, sectors, countries, and also monitors the market capitalization and trading liquidity of each holding. Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. Redeemable units are redeemed on demand at the unitholder’s option based on the Fund’s net asset value per unit (NAVPU) at the time of redemption. In accordance with securities regulations, investment funds must maintain at least 90% of assets in liquid investments; investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of. In addition, the Fund aims to retain sufficient cash and short-term investments to maintain liquidity, and has the ability to borrow up to 5% of its net asset value from the custodian for the purpose of funding redemptions. 23
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
(Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except per unit amounts)
The Fund may, from time to time, invest in securities that are not traded in an active market and may be illiquid. Private and/or restricted securities held, if any, are identified in the Schedule of Investments as at their respective period ends. The liquidity position of the Fund is monitored on a daily basis. As at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Fund did not have financial liabilities with maturities greater than 3 months. Other Price Risk - Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk on monetary instruments), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or other factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. All securities present a risk of loss of capital. The Fund moderates this risk through a careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within the parameters of the investment strategy. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. The Fund’s investments and derivatives are susceptible to other price risk arising from uncertainties about future prices of the instruments. If the benchmark had increased or decreased by 5% on March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, with all other variables held constant, the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have increased or decreased by approximately $27,977 (March 31, 2015: $21,728). This change is estimated using the Fund’s beta which is calculated based on the historical correlation between the return of the Fund as compared to the return of the benchmark. In practice, the actual trading results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material. Emerging Market Risk - The Fund’s investments in countries with limited or developing capital markets may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets, and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social, or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of the Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts. Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments held in the investment portfolio such as bonds. The Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of interest-bearing financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. Any excess cash and cash equivalents are invested in short-term investments at market interest rates. The majority of the Fund’s financial assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing. As a result, the Fund is not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. Currency Risk - Currency risk arises from financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollar, which is the Fund’s functional currency. The Fund is exposed to the risk that the value of financial instruments denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Currency risk is not considered to arise from financial instruments that are non-monetary items such as equity investments, or forward foreign exchange contracts related to such non-monetary items. The Fund considers the foreign exchange exposure relating to nonmonetary assets and liabilities to be a component of other price risk, not foreign currency risk. As a result, the Fund is not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. 8. Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Fund’s derivatives noted below are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements in the form of central clearing arrangements. In the event of default or bankruptcy net settlement of contracts would be enforced. The following tables summarize financial instruments that are offset in the Statements of Financial Position, or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or other similar agreements but are not offset: As at March 31, 2016

The Board of Directors of Fidelity is responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. Fidelity maintains appropriate processes to ensure that relevant and reliable financial information is produced. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and include certain amounts and disclosures that are based on estimates and judgments. The significant accounting policies, which management believes are appropriate for the Fund, are described in Note 3 to the financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is the external auditor of the Fund. They have audited the financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards to enable them to express to the unitholders their opinion on the financial statements. Their report is set out below. Darren Farkas
Vice President and Fund Treasurer Fidelity Investments Canada ULC June 7, 2016
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Unitholders and Trustee of Fidelity Emerging Markets Equity Investment Trust (Fund) We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Fund, which comprise the statements of financial position as at March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as at March 31, 2016 and 2015 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Fidelity’s mutual funds are sold by registered Investment Professionals. Each Fund has a simplified prospectus, which contains important information on the Fund, including its investment objective, purchase options, and applicable charges. Please obtain a copy of the prospectus, read it carefully, and consult your Investment Professional before investing. As with any investment, there are risks to investing in mutual funds. There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective, and its net asset value, yield, and investment return will fluctuate from time to time with market conditions. Investors may experience a gain or loss when they sell their units in any Fidelity Fund. Fidelity Global Funds may be more volatile than other Fidelity Funds as they concentrate investments in one sector and in fewer issuers; no single Fund is intended to be a complete diversified investment program. Past performance is no assurance or indicator of future returns. There is no assurance that either Fidelity Canadian Money Market Fund or Fidelity U.S. Money Market Fund will be able to maintain its net asset value at a constant amount. The breakdown of Fund investments is presented to illustrate the way in which a Fund may invest, and may not be representative of a Fund’s current or future investments. A Fund’s investments may change at any time. ®Fidelity
