About FBNAX

Fidelity Advisor Short-Term Bond Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while seeking preservation of capital. The fund primarily invests in investment‑grade debt across U.S. Treasuries, agencies, high‑quality corporates, and securitized bonds, and typically maintains a dollar‑weighted average maturity of three years or less to limit interest‑rate sensitivity. According to Fidelity’s fact sheet, the strategy normally keeps at least 80% of assets in investment‑grade securities and may use derivatives for efficient exposure and portfolio management. The fund resides in the Short‑Term Bond category and tracks the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government/Credit Bond benchmark for context. It is part of the Fidelity Advisor lineup, offering a front‑load Class A share structure with an expense ratio reported by third‑party data as 0.50%. Recent portfolio statistics indicate sizable exposure to short‑dated U.S. Treasury notes alongside diversified allocations to high‑quality financial issuers and securitized credit, reflecting a conservative, liquidity‑aware construction aimed at stable income streams with limited duration risk.
