About FBAKX
Fidelity Balanced Fund Class K is a mutual fund designed to provide both income and capital growth through a diversified, actively managed portfolio. As a balanced fund, it generally allocates around 60% of its assets to equities—primarily large-cap U.S. and international stocks—and the remaining portion to bonds and other debt securities, including a mix of investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The fund is managed to maintain exposure to both growth opportunities in equities and the stability of fixed-income, with a minimum of 25% invested in fixed-income senior securities. This approach appeals to investors seeking a moderate risk profile and exposure to multiple asset classes in a single fund. With over $56 billion in assets under management, Fidelity Balanced Fund Class K is notable for its relatively low expense ratio of 0.39%, which is significantly below the average for its category. The fund distributes dividends quarterly and capital gains twice yearly, making it suitable for those interested in regular income streams. Its broad sector exposure and substantial asset base underscore its role as a core holding for retirement plans and diversified investment strategies.
