There is greater risk here, of course, but with an experienced team managing this fund, it could be a great fit for those looking at generating a bit more yield than the typical bond fund. Those stocks are not restricted by hard limits on geography or size, either. That's quite a wide swath of the market to cover!
Interestingly enough, FBALX is one of the more affordable active funds in Fidelity's repertoire — meaning you can get the expertise you're looking for and a hands-on approach to asset allocation without paying out the nose on fees.
Currently, FMSDX is at the lower end of that range as it is loaded up on equities in response to a rising interest rate environment. As discussed previously, this comes with risk, as distressed companies might pay more in interest, but also carry a higher chance of default. Still, if you are willing to take on exposure to less flashy companies like this in exchange for big income, this Fidelity fund could be worth a look.

Overall, we found Vanguard is an excellent choice for long-term and retirement investors—especially those who want access to professional advice and some of the lowest-cost funds in the industry. At the same time, Fidelity is better for casual investors and traders who wish to access more tools, charting, and technical analysis.
Vanguard's platform is geared toward buy-and-hold investors, not active traders. While the platform gets the job done i. The order entry process is clunky and not particularly intuitive, and there's no real-time data until you open a trade ticket. Overall, the trading platform is adequate for passive investors, but it falls predictably short for traders and investors who want a responsive and customizable experience. Of course, keep in mind that Vanguard is, by design, not intended for frequent traders or short-term investors, so this should not be viewed as a shortcoming for the company.
Fidelity offers a better trading experience for every type of investor. Buy-and-hold investors should find Fidelity's web-based platform more than adequate. However, quotes are delayed by 15 minutes unless you sign up for real-time quotes. More active and technical traders will appreciate Active Trader Pro's charts, technical indicators, screeners, advanced order types, and more.
Overall, when compared to Vanguard, Fidelity is the clear winner in terms of trading experience. Vanguard's mobile app is a bit outdated and light in terms of features. There is no charting, and the quotes are delayed until you open an order ticket. Still, you can monitor your positions, analyze your portfolio, read the news, and place basic orders—albeit for limited asset classes—as a buy-and-hold investor. Fidelity's mobile app is easy to navigate, and you can manage orders, check pending transactions, and place trades.
Where the app falls short is in its fundamental research and charting, which are very limited. Mobile watchlists sync with desktop and web applications, and you can use most of the same order types on mobile as on the web or desktop platforms. While both apps are well-rated on the App Store, Fidelity has far more reviews. Vanguard has 4. Overall, we found that Fidelity's app offers more functionality and will be valuable to a greater range of investors. Compared to some large brokers, Vanguard and Fidelity have a limited range of offerings.
However, neither supports futures, options on futures, commodities, or cryptocurrency trading, and only Fidelity offers Forex and fractional shares for purchase. Predictably, Vanguard supports only the order types that buy-and-hold investors typically use, including market, limit, and stop-limit orders.
James C. Curvey - a long-time top lieutenant of Fidelity Chairman Ned Johnson - is chairman of the board of trustees for a number of Fidelity mutual funds, including ones that invest in the same companies as F-Prime. Fund trustees are responsible for protecting the interests of investors. Ned Johnson chose Curvey for the role when Johnson gave up his duties as chairman of the board of trustees for individual Fidelity funds.
But other filings indicate that Impresa is owned by the trusts of Johnson family members and Fidelity insiders. Partnership distributions to Curvey from venture investing have made him a lot of money.
Curvey and Wondrack declined to comment for this report. Fidelity declined to comment on the potential conflict of interest in their dual oversight roles. Shareholders in the regular Fidelity mutual funds include millions of investors saving for retirement as well as employee k plans at top corporations such as Facebook, IBM and Oracle. Fidelity funds stayed on the sidelines as shares of Aclaris Therapeutics Inc skyrocketed after the drug maker listed its stock in October At the end of June, F-Prime still held nearly 2.
Fidelity funds did not own any Aclaris shares. Fidelity fund competitors had no restraints on investing in Aclaris. Franklin Templeton funds bought nearly 1.

But the biotech fund paid at least four times more for its shares than rivals did, Fidelity Select disclosures show. The exact amount paid by the Fidelity biotech fund was not disclosed. In the six cases Reuters examined where Fidelity bought into investments that were already held by F-Prime, Fidelity funds became the largest or one of the largest shareholders.
In general, newly minted public companies need long-term shareholders such as mutual funds in order to ride out the ups and the downs of the stock market, especially right after a public debut, said Bob Ackerman, founder and managing director of Allegis Capital, a venture firm based in San Francisco.
