Fidelity Investments is on a hiring binge, looking to fill about 4,000 new roles by midyear as rival asset managers winnow their staffs.

The additional positions will focus on customer service and technology, the company said in a statement Wednesday. It follows a year of record hiring that brought Boston-based Fidelity’s headcount to 68,000, according to an annual report.
