About FICPX
Fidelity Advisor 529 Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio Class C is a municipal bond mutual fund specifically designed for education savings within 529 college savings plans. The portfolio's primary function is to preserve capital while generating income that keeps pace with inflation by investing at least 80% of its assets in inflation-protected debt securities, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and other inflation-indexed bonds. These securities are structured to adjust their principal value based on changes in inflation, thereby helping to safeguard the real purchasing power of invested assets over time. The portfolio is tailored for long-term education savers seeking protection against rising costs, particularly those concerned about the impact of inflation on future tuition and educational expenses. Managed by Fidelity, the fund employs a diversified approach within its mandate, holding various types of inflation-protected securities. It plays a significant role in the 529 savings market by offering a fixed income option that is less sensitive to traditional interest rate risk and more attuned to the dynamics of inflation. The Class C shares are structured with a particular fee and expense profile, making them suitable for investors seeking flexible payout schedules and potentially shorter holding periods.
