Fidelity Investments, the nation's largest mutual fund company, said yesterday that it would cut 1,695 jobs, or 5.4 percent of its work force, as two and a half years of falling stock prices had thinned the assets it has under management. The job cuts at the company, based in Boston, came after last October's announcement that it would trim 760 jobs, or 2.3 percent of the work force. That time, the brokerage unit accounted for about half the cuts. A Fidelity spokeswoman said the cuts would be felt in almost every unit of the closely held company, which employs more than 31,000. No fund managers or analysts will lose their jobs, she said.

The CTS Corporation, a maker of electronic components and assemblies, plans to cut an additional 140 jobs and move more work to China to cut costs, it said yesterday. The transfer will take place by the fourth quarter of next year. Last month, CTS cut 160 jobs. It employed 6,000 to 6,200 workers before the new job reductions, a company spokesman said. CTS, based in Elkhart, Ind., now expects related costs to cut third-quarter results by $18.5 million, compared with a previous forecast of $15 million to $17 million. The revamping is expected to increase pretax savings to $15 million to $17 million in 2003 from an earlier estimate of $11 million.
