About FIKTX

Fidelity Advisor Short-Term Bond Fund – Class Z is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while emphasizing capital preservation. The portfolio normally invests at least 80% of assets in investment‑grade debt across U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds, and securitized issues, and maintains a short dollar‑weighted average maturity—generally three years or less—to limit interest‑rate sensitivity.
