Fatimid Ismailis were very different from current Aga Khanis. They were much closer to the present Moosavi or Twelver Shias. One can see how different Fatimids were from Aga Khanis by noting the stark differences between Bohris and Aga Khanis, both of whom split during Fatimid times.*

Having said that, the Aga Khanis are descended from the branch of more religious Ismailies who refused to accept the growing control of the Sunni viziers of the Fatimids and went into exile as a result, while the Bohris are descended from the more secular-minded Ismailies who were willing to live with increasing Sunni domination of the Fatimid state.
