Fidelity International is set to close its Global High Yield and Long Bond funds, due to dwindling assets. 

A spokesperson said the firm regularly reviews its range of products and believes these funds "have become too small to manage cost-effectively". 

The Global High Yield and Long Bond funds will no longer be available to investors on any platforms or through any distribution channels from 16 October and 10 October, respectively.
