Summary
Fidelity Freedom 2060 Fund achieved a 1-year cumulative return of 23.10% and ranked in the top 2% of its Morningstar category for that period.
Fidelity's target-date strategies produced a mix of negative and positive returns in Q1, reflecting drawdowns for both equities and fixed-income securities.
Active asset-allocation positioning and security selection contributed to the fund's performance versus the Composite index in Q1, where an overweight in commodities helped relative performance most.
The Fund's security selection within the information technology sector meaningfully contributed to the relative result, especially out-of-benchmark positions in Sandisk and Ciena.
Fidelity increased exposure to equities for early-career investors and to inflation-sensitive assets for those near retirement, with the transition expected to be complete within six to 12 months.
