"Fidelity Freedom 2055 Fund posted a strong 3.77% Q4 gain, outperforming its composite benchmark by 61 basis points due to favorable active security selection in U.S. large-cap equities and strategic non-U.S. overweight exposure."
The Fidelity Freedom® 2055 Fund delivered a return of 3.77% for the fourth quarter of 2025, outperforming its Composite Benchmark which returned 3.16%. For the full year 2025, the fund generated a strong YTD return of 23.73%, matching its 1-year return. Active asset allocation and security selection drove the fund's positive relative performance during the quarter, with the fund's overweight position in non-U.S. equities (developed and emerging-markets) contributing significantly to gains. At the asset level, U.S. large-cap managers added substantial value, particularly through out-of-benchmark and overweight positions in Ciena, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, GE Vernova, and United Parcel Service. Conversely, the non-U.S. equity portfolio detracted, primarily driven by underperformance in the Fidelity Series Overseas Fund, which faced headwinds from holdings in Thales, Baycurrent, and Ajinomoto. Looking forward, the management team has initiated updates to the fund's strategic glide path to enhance equity exposure for early-career investors and inflation-sensitive asset exposure for near-retirees. Believing that U.S. valuations are extended and offer limited buffers against macroeconomic or geopolitical shocks, the fund remains overweight equities but with a decreased magnitude, maintaining a tactical preference for non-U.S. equities, intermediate-term Treasurys, and commodities to hedge sticky inflation risk.
