About FVIAX
Fidelity Advisor Government Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of current income while preserving capital. This fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. government securities and related instruments, including Treasury notes, Treasury bonds, and agency-backed mortgage securities. By maintaining a portfolio dominated by U.S. government and government-agency bonds, it offers exposure to assets generally considered to have minimal credit risk, aligning with the goal of principal preservation. The fund is actively managed and employs a strategy that considers interest rate risk, positioned similarly to benchmarks such as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index. It distributes income monthly, with a yield characteristic of government fixed income securities, and appeals to clients seeking reliable income and safety in the fixed income segment of their portfolios. With a diversified portfolio spanning hundreds of holdings, the fund plays a notable role in the intermediate government bond category, often serving as a core fixed income holding for conservative investors and institutional portfolios seeking stability and liquidity.
