FIDELITY FREEDOM INDEX FUNDS FOR THE AVERAGE JOE [COMPLETE 2021 REVIEW]

MY EXACT Dividend Stock Portfolio -- See it in M1 Finance! ||
So you are ready to start investing in your Fidelity Investing account and you've just heard about this thing called FIDELITY FREEDOM FUNDS. You've heard of different types of investments out there such as fidelity mutual funds, fidelity index funds, fidelity etf's but FIDELITY FREEDOM FUNDS are a completely different type of investment and in this video I am going to provide the most comprehensive video on Youtube about Fidelity Freedom Funds.

I opened my first retirement account because of your channel. Never too early to start!

Thank you for addressing the “index” Freedom Fund and the regular one. As always, amazing videos. ❤️

Thanks for this, I was wondering why my account Exp Ratio was so high compared to what you were quoting earlier in the video, Glad I watched till the end!

Just put $2k into the 2050 fund. I have roughly 90 shares with a $.29 dividend. I'm going to put in $3k total and then the other $3k will be put into SCHD(loved your coverage on that) because of the dividends, , and I haven't decided what else. I want to keep my IRA around 6 funds.

Great video Joe. I could have used these videos about 10 years ago!

I SUBSCRIBED!!
One question: you mentioned you own no bonds, I'm leaning towards this route for my IRA. I'm @41 yo with retirement at 65. Would it be a good idea to switch from 0% bonds to mostly bonds (60-80%) in the 5 years leading to retirement ON A MARKET UPSWING, to lock in my investments before the next down swing? Rather than a gradual bond increase over the 10 yr before retirement like all TDFs work. This would yield me more gains since i dont have those bonds the final years.

Thank you so much for this video. I was hanging on the Fidelity Web site and couldn't understand which fund to choose. You video came right on time with a great explanation. Thank you for pointing a difference btw those two funds that look very similar.

I like the green shirt and green logo, they complement your advice for putting some green in our bank accounts 💚

I currently use a 90/10 allocation, with 10% of my portfolio in FUAMX. I'm relatively young - should I go for long-term treasury bonds such as in FNBGX and try to absorb as much monthly dividend yield as possible (keeping in mind your video about the power of compound dividends)? I emphasize treasury bond indexes as a balance against any stock market downturns (numbers will sometimes go down, y'all).

Bond strategies!

Hi Joe, we enjoy your content, so thank you. Hey, do you think it's a good idea to have a fidelity target date index fund AND a few other index funds in a Roth? Like you said, some of the other index funds perform better, so we figured we'd add a few of those too.

I SUBCRIBED.!! Have you considered a video on HSA accounts?

[bkmom]

Thanks for the info. I was about to switch out of my Freedom Fund until I watched your videos on Fidelity Index Funds...Great info!

[HenryLopez-uwhy]

I SUBSCRIBED! What about someone like me who’s 46 and just started investing 3 years ago? Would a target date fund work for me as well? I feel like it’s not allocated for my age.

[auto]

Thanks! Can you take money out early? and how can you draw money out? all at once or little at a time? Does it stop making money after the target date? LOVE your channel learned more from you than from Fidelity...

FIPFX (Roth IRA). Is that an example of index fund? What is its connection with Roth IRA account?

[nikkisaechao]

What is the difference between all the classes? i.e. investor, premier, etc.

[khaledalzayat]

Great video, I made the mistake you warned about.. didn't pick the freedom index. I hope I can fix it.

[kevinlwhitfield]

Very good video. I want to retire in 3 years. I have all Fidelity investments. Where can I put this so it is not affected by the stock market swing and is safe?

[nadonadia]

Hello, I think the Fidelity Index Investor Class is dedicated to fund managers and not for regular people who manage their own investments by themselves, it is why the Mer is so low.
