That's because they are one of the largest financial services companies in the US. Anyone you deal with that has "Fidelity" as part of their company's name is probably a subsidiary.
While you are correct in many respects--that Fidelity Investments (FMR Corp.) has a lot of subsidiaries--this company, Fidelity National Information Systems, is NOT one of them. They are not connected in any way.
FMR Corp. is privately owned, whereas FNIS (NYSE:FIS) is publicly traded and a member of the S&P 500.
I used to work for Fidelity Investments, and even for me it was often confusing which companies were ours. But this is a clear-cut case of different companies. Just want to make sure that gets out there before people start worrying about their 401Ks.
