Overview

Fidelity, the privately held, Johnson-family-controlled asset manager founded in 1946, holds large pre-IPO positions — including SpaceX, Stripe and OpenAI — inside flagship mutual funds like Contrafund. It publishes monthly valuation marks on those private holdings, making Fidelity both a deep pool of late-stage capital for a portfolio's winners and a public scoreboard for their valuations.
