About Fidelity Intermediate Government Income Fund
This fund seeks to generate significant current income while prioritizing the protection of its original capital. It typically allocates at least 80% of its holdings to U.S. government debt instruments and corresponding repurchase agreements. Notably, these government securities are issued by entities chartered or sponsored by the U.S. Congress, not directly by the U.S. Treasury, meaning they are not guaranteed by the Treasury itself. The investment advisor maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity for the portfolio between three and ten years, strategically distributing assets across various market sectors and maturity profiles. Furthermore, the fund includes investments in Fidelity's proprietary central funds.
