- Fidelity Advisor Consumer Staples Fund - Class C (FDCGX) is an open-end mutual fund that primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of consumer staples; these include common stocks, preferred stocks, and debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers within the consumer defensive sector, such as food, beverages, household products, personal care items, and tobacco. The fund targets large-cap value stocks, with top holdings including Procter & Gamble Co., Coca-Cola Co., Keurig Dr. Pepper Inc., Walmart Inc., and Constellation Brands Inc., representing approximately 50.63% of the portfolio; it maintains a diversified allocation with 95.41% in U.S. stocks, 3.84% in non-U.S. stocks, and minor cash and other positions, focusing on the consumer defensive industry that serves everyday essential needs across retail, institutional, and individual investors. Launched on December 12, 2006, as a share class of the broader Fidelity Advisor Consumer Staples Fund (originally inception July 29, 1985), the fund is domiciled in the United States, available for sale primarily in the U.S., and managed by Fidelity Investments with headquarters in Smithfield, Rhode Island; Ben Shuleva has served as portfolio manager since January 1, 2020. The fund operates within Fidelity's extensive mutual fund lineup, with total net assets of approximately $1.26 billion and share class size of $33.82 million as of recent data, featuring a net expense ratio of 1.72%, a 1% deferred load, and no minimum initial investment. Recent performance reflects sector dynamics, with consumer staples advancing 6.35% in the first two months of 2025 amid market volatility and economic resilience, though the fund lagged benchmarks in Q4 2024 (-6.25% versus -2.64% for MSCI U.S. IMI Consumer Staples 25/50 Index) and Q1 2025 (0.65% versus 4.11%); no major acquisitions, funding rounds, partnerships, or structural changes specific to FDCGX were reported in the last 1-2 years, maintaining continuity in its value-oriented strategy under stable management.
