About FHIFX
Fidelity Focused High Income Fund is an open-end mutual fund managed by Fidelity Investments, specializing in high-yield bonds. It primarily invests in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with a strong emphasis on lower-quality, high-yield debt often rated BB or below by major agencies. The fund targets a high level of current income and may also pursue capital appreciation by allocating across domestic and foreign issuers, including those in troubled financial conditions, non-income producing securities, defaulted bonds, and even common stocks. Key portfolio features include approximately 90.83% in corporate bonds, 4.47% in bank loans, 1.89% in preferred stocks, and smaller holdings in cash equivalents, asset-backed securities, convertibles, and government securities, providing diversification within the high-yield bond category. Launched in 2004 with total assets around $189.7 million and a net expense ratio of 0.75%, it holds 454 securities and features a 30-day SEC yield around 5.98%, appealing to income-oriented investors seeking higher returns amid elevated credit risks typical of the high-yield sector. In the financial markets, it plays a vital role in fixed-income strategies, offering exposure to speculative-grade bonds that can enhance portfolio yields but carry greater vulnerability to economic downturns and default risks.
