* Keep in mind that investing, including investing in Fidelity SMAs, mutual funds, or ETFs, involves risk. They are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. You may gain or lose money. Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. ETFs and mutual funds are subject to management fees and other expenses. In addition to any underlying expenses associated with an investment vehicle, Fidelity SMAs are also subject to an annual advisory fee. Fidelity SMAs charge gross advisory fees that range between 0.20% and 1.5%, and vary based on total assets invested. The total fees and expenses applicable to mutual funds and ETFs are generally lower than those associated with Fidelity SMAs. For more information on the specific fees and expenses associated with Fidelity SMAs, or a specific mutual fund or ETF, please speak with your investment professional.


** Generally, ETFs swap securities for securities or redeem securities in kind, while mutual funds generally sell securities to redeem shares. The ETF redemption process is not always able to be executed in a way that avoids all capital gains.

We offer an extensive selection of SMAs focused on either stocks or bonds. Start by looking at the role you're hoping your strategy will play in your portfolio. Then, work with a Fidelity advisor to determine which strategy is best suited to that role. You'll also want to consider the type of account you plan to open, as some options may not be appropriate for tax-advantaged retirement accounts.
