About FBNTX
Fidelity Advisor Short-Term Bond Fund Class M is an open-end mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while emphasizing capital preservation. The portfolio primarily invests in investment-grade debt securities with an effective maturity of three years or less, positioning it within the short-term bond segment of the taxable fixed income market. The fund’s holdings commonly include U.S. Treasury notes, high-quality corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and cash equivalents, reflecting a conservative duration profile and broad sector diversification. This structure aims to mitigate interest-rate sensitivity and reduce credit risk relative to longer-duration or lower-quality bond strategies. The fund serves as a core short-duration allocation for investors seeking steady income, lower volatility than intermediate bond funds, and a potential ballast within multi-asset portfolios. Operational details such as its longstanding history dating back to 1986 and the Class M share structure underscore its role in advisor-led platforms, where expense design and risk controls are important to implementation.
