About FFUZX

Fidelity Advisor Utilities Fund - Class Z is a sector mutual fund specializing in the utilities industry. Its primary objective is capital appreciation, achieved by investing at least 80% of its assets in companies principally engaged in utility operations, especially those focused on power and gas utilities. The fund predominantly holds common stocks, targeting firms whose core revenues come from producing or distributing essential services like electricity and natural gas. Key holdings include major industry leaders such as NextEra Energy, Duke Energy, Exelon Corp, and Southern Company, making the fund concentrated within the US utilities sector. This fund stands out due to its relatively focused portfolio, typically maintaining about 30 holdings, with the top ten constituting a substantial share of assets. Such concentration can increase sensitivity to sector-specific developments, regulations, and market cycles. With a history dating back to 1996, the fund has established itself as a staple for investors seeking targeted exposure to utility equities, which are traditionally considered for their defensive characteristics and steady demand. Managed with an emphasis on capital appreciation within the sector, Fidelity Advisor Utilities Fund - Class Z serves as a strategic tool for investors aiming to access the stability and potential growth associated with the US utilities market.
