"Fidelity's 2045 Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q4 2025 with a 3.70% gain. The managers are cautiously positioned, reducing U.S. equity exposure in favor of cheaper international stocks, intermediate Treasurys, and commodities due to valuation and inflation concerns."
The Fidelity Freedom 2045 Fund delivered a return of 3.70% for Q4 2025, outperforming its composite index return of 3.14%. Strong performance was driven by active asset allocation, notably an overweight position in non-U.S. equities, and positive security selection in U.S. large-cap strategies (particularly within the Growth Company and Large Cap Stock funds). In 2025, FMR announced updates to the strategic glide path to increase equity and inflation-sensitive asset exposures. However, entering 2026, the portfolio managers are taking a cautious short-to-medium-term approach; they have moderated their equity overweight, expressed a preference for cheaper non-U.S. stocks, added exposure to intermediate U.S. Treasurys, and increased their overweight in commodities to hedge against sticky inflation.
