Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Income Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund that focuses on delivering higher-than-average income for investors, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in securities linked to the real estate sector, including preferred and common stocks of real estate investment trusts (REITs), debt securities issued by real estate-related companies, and a diverse array of commercial and mortgage-backed securities. A distinguishing characteristic is its emphasis on lower-quality debt securities within the real estate industry, which can offer enhanced yield potential. The portfolio spans multiple subsectors such as commercial, industrial, and residential real estate, and holds positions in both equity and fixed-income securities to balance risk and return. The fund plays a significant role in providing investors with diversified exposure to income-generating real estate assets, serving as an important tool for portfolio diversification, inflation hedging, and access to the performance trends of the real estate market, particularly for those seeking a blend of income and growth potential in a single investment vehicle.
