About FIWDX
Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund Class Z is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. The fund implements a diversified fixed income strategy by allocating assets across four main sectors: high-yield securities, U.S. government and investment-grade debt, emerging market debt, and foreign developed-market debt. Its typical allocation is approximately 45% to high-yield, 30% to U.S. government and investment-grade, 15% to emerging markets, and 10% to foreign developed markets, with flexibility for portfolio managers to make tactical adjustments in response to market conditions.
By spreading investments across these varied sectors, the fund seeks to reduce volatility compared to investing in high-yield bonds alone and to capitalize on income opportunities in different market environments. The fund’s portfolio is predominantly composed of debt instruments, including lower-quality ("junk") bonds, with select use of derivatives and currency hedging to manage risk and optimize returns. With a large asset base and experienced management team, Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund Class Z plays a significant role in providing institutional and sophisticated investors with diversified, actively managed exposure to global fixed income markets.
