Fidelity Fund Portfolios—Income

If your goal is to generate income from your investments, explore these model portfolios.

Get started

A path toward an income-generating portfolio

As an investor, you have your own knowledge of funds, tolerance for risk, and preference for asset allocation. Matching your unique financial situation to a particular goal—such as investing for growth and income—requires research and strategy.

To help you craft or adjust your investment approach, we've developed three models of income-generating portfolios: Conservative Income, Balanced Income, and Growth Income.

These portfolios emphasize interest and dividend income as a component of total return for a given level of investment risk. While the primary focus of the portfolios is to provide income, the underlying mutual funds continue to seek growth of capital over the long term.

Make the models work for you

Start by assessing your current circumstances and your short- and long-term financial goals; then compare and contrast the three model portfolios.

Review the methodology document (PDF) to learn how these models were created. This information can help inform your research into each individual fund, as well as into other funds, including non-Fidelity funds.

Use these model portfolios to help you research investments, refine your existing portfolio, and even build your own income-focused portfolio.

Income-Focused Conservative

This asset mix may be appropriate for investors who wish to minimize fluctuations in market value, compared to an equity-only portfolio, and who seek to emphasize dividend and interest income (versus capital appreciation) as a component of total return.

Asset Mix

15% Equity 85% Bonds 0% Short Term

Asset Type	Fund Name	Allocation
Equity	Fidelity^® Equity Dividend Income (FEQTX)	15%
Investment Grade Bond	Fidelity^® Total Bond (FTBFX)	40%

Investment Grade Bond	Fidelity^® Corporate Bond Fund (FCBFX)	10%

The primary objective of the Fidelity Fund Portfolios-Income is to provide a representation of just one way you might construct a portfolio of Fidelity mutual funds, designed for the purpose of providing a focus on interest and dividend income, over a range of long term risk levels, which are consistent with the asset allocations of a (sub)set of Fidelity’s Target Asset Mixes (TAMs). The Fidelity Fund Portfolios–Income represent three distinct income‐focused model portfolios (Conservative–Income, Balanced–Income, and Growth–Income) consistent with different levels of long-term risk.
