FIDO Separately Managed Accounts

[GravitySucks]

Has anyone experience using Fidelity Separately Managed Accounts?
Particularly the Core Bond Strategy product.

The darn fixed income side of investing shouldn't be so irritating but it is.

I have this with CA muni bonds and it works well.

I have with Mass munis as well, no complaints. Depending on amount invested, you also get stepped up cash back on Fido credit card and better money market rates. A minor offset to fees

I’m perfectly happy with bond index funds.

Unless you actually want to hold individual bonds, you can just buy a core bond mutual fund or ETF. They're much simpler come tax time. Believe me, I know, after investing in individual corporate and muni bonds for the last decade and a half.

...you also get stepped up cash back on Fido credit card and better money market rates....

I’d like to hear more about this!

I pulled attached from Fidelity's site to describe the program tiers. Only some assets count toward tiers, not all Fido assets. Hope this helps
