Fidelity Investments has launched four new bond funds, Fidelity Global Bond Fund and Fidelity International Bond Fund, which are available to all investors, and Fidelity Advisor Global Bond Fund and Fidelity Advisor International Bond Fund, which are available through financial advisors.

The Global Bond Funds may be appropriate for investors looking for a core holding that invests across multiple countries and currencies, while providing diversified taxable bond exposure. The International Bond Funds provide many of the same potential benefits as the Global Bond Funds, but they also cater to investors looking for targeted exposure primarily to non-U.S. debt.

"Global economies have undergone significant change over recent years and the opportunities that exist in fixed income markets outside of the U.S. are unprecedented," said Charlie Morrison, president of Fidelity's Fixed Income division. "Leveraging our significant global fixed income investment management capabilities, we believe these new funds will appeal to investors seeking diversified global and international investment-grade debt and currency exposure."
