About FSTZX

Fidelity Series 0-5 Year Inflation-Protected Bond Index Fund is an index mutual fund focused on short-duration U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. Its primary objective is to match the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities 0-5 Year Index, providing exposure to government-issued bonds that adjust principal for changes in the Consumer Price Index, helping preserve real purchasing power over short horizons. The portfolio concentrates on TIPS with less than five years to maturity, emphasizing low interest-rate sensitivity and direct linkage to realized inflation. The fund’s mandate is to invest predominantly—at least 80% of assets—in these inflation-protected U.S. Treasury securities, aligning holdings with the benchmark’s composition and duration profile. By targeting the front end of the TIPS curve, the fund serves as a tool for investors seeking inflation-linked income and reduced duration risk compared with broader TIPS strategies, and it can play a role in liability-aware allocations, cash flow stability, and inflation hedging within multi-asset portfolios. The strategy is designed to deliver the sector’s total return efficiently through passive index replication and disciplined portfolio construction.
