Short Takes: Fidelity Adds Portfolios To Its Advisor Funds

In response to demand by bank trust departments and financial advisers, Fidelity Investments has added three new mutual fund portfolios to its Advisor Funds.

The Boston-based fund company on Monday introduced a California municipal bond fund, a portfolio that invests in midsize companies, and another that invests in large corporations.

The mid-cap fund, managed by Jennifer Uhrig, is designed for long-term, aggressive investors. The large-cap fund will primarily invest in companies with a market capitalization of $1 billion or more.

Fidelity manages $373.1 billion of assets, and is the largest mutual fund company in the world. Its Advisor Funds family, which holds $24.4 billion of assets, is sold through financial intermediaries including banks, financial planners, and stockbrokers.
