6 Best Fidelity Index Funds for Retirees (Ranked in 2026)

Описание: In this video, we rank the 6 best Fidelity index funds for retirees in 2026 — but not the way most investors expect.

One fund on this list has returned up to 23.88%, but it is ranked last for retirees. Why? Because when you are retired, the highest return is not always the best choice. You need to think about risk, income, taxes, drawdowns, and what happens if the market falls right after you stop working.

Most Fidelity fund rankings are made for younger investors who are still building wealth. But if you are already retired, recently retired, or within 5 to 10 years of retirement, your portfolio has a different job. It needs to grow, protect your income, and help you avoid selling during a bad market.

In this video, Mark ranks these 6 Fidelity funds:

FXAIX — Fidelity 500 Index Fund
FXNAX — Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund
FSPSX — Fidelity International Index Fund
FSSNX — Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund
FSPGX — Fidelity Large Cap Growth Index Fund
FTEC — Fidelity MSCI Information Technology ETF

You will see which Fidelity index fund belongs at number one, why bonds may matter more in retirement than many people think, and why a high-growth tech fund can be useful — but dangerous if it becomes too large in a retiree’s portfolio.

We also cover simple retirement portfolio examples for conservative retirees, moderate retirees, and investors who are 5 to 10 years away from retirement. Then we explain how to use a bucket strategy with cash, bonds, and growth funds so you are not forced to sell stocks at the wrong time.

If you are trying to build a simple Fidelity retirement portfolio, compare Fidelity index funds, reduce retirement risk, or understand where to hold each fund — traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or taxable brokerage account — this video will give you a clear step-by-step framework.
