Fund Summary – continued

 

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example

illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here’s how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

 

 

1 year    $ 87  
3 years    $   560  

 

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Allocating investments across different market sectors, countries (U.S. and non-U.S.), and regions, including emerging markets. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics.

• Allocating the fund’s assets among affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds

and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to equity, debt, currency, and commodities markets.

• Using fundamental analysis to evaluate macroeconomic themes based on secular trends, business cycles and market regimes, and to invest the fund in assets that offer an attractive risk/return profile in the context of those themes.

• Using proprietary portfolio construction methodologies to express views on major asset allocation dimensions.

• Investing in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

• Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including long and short investments in derivatives – such as forward contracts, futures, options and swaps – and forward-settling securities, to: create and adjust the fund’s investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices,

 

 

Prospectus   4  


interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risk; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.

• Investing up to 25% of assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands that invests in commodity-linked total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments, commodity-related ETFs and commodity-related exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

Principal Investment Risks

• Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser’s asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

• Investing in Other Funds. Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, which means that the fund’s manager may not be able to invest as much as it wants to in some other funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives. Underlying funds that are passively managed attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index of

securities and as such their performance could be lower than actively managed funds, which may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline. In addition, errors in the construction of the index tracked by an underlying passively managed fund may have an adverse impact on the performance of such underlying fund.

• Investing in ETFs and ETNs. ETFs and ETNs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other benchmark. ETNs are subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including counterparty risk of the issuer.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

• Correlation Risk. The fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across multiple asset classes and, within each asset class, across different countries and investments. To the extent the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the fund’s risk allocation process may result in magnified risks and loss instead of reducing the risk of loss.

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different

 

 

  5   Prospectus


Fund Summary – continued

 

market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

• Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. The fund’s use of futures, forwards, options, swaps, and other derivative instruments may result in losses. The value of these derivative instruments may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments and may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the fund. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Moreover, a relatively small price movement in a derivative contract may result in substantial losses to the fund, exceeding the amount of the margin paid. The use of derivatives can increase the fund’s risk exposure to underlying assets and their attendant risks, while also exposing the fund to the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as anticipated with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, thereby reducing their effectiveness.

• Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall

commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.

• Commodity Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which the fund’s positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Under such daily limits, during a single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If triggered, these limits could prevent the fund from liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the fund to losses or prevent it from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.

• Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial

 

 

Prospectus   6  


information available to investors. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.

• Currency Exposure. Because the fund is normally exposed to foreign currencies, it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a fund invests in foreign currencies or engages in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to emerging market countries. These emerging markets currency transactions may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed foreign currencies or engaging in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to developed foreign countries.

• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer or other borrower in a securities lending transaction) can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s value or result in delays in recovering securities and/or capital from a counterparty.

• Subsidiary Risk. Investment in Fidelity Global Macro Opportunities

Cayman Ltd., an unregistered subsidiary, is not subject to the investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and is subject to the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general. Changes in tax and other laws could negatively affect investments in the subsidiary.

• Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.

In addition, the fund is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act, which means that it has the ability to invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Unlike individual debt securities, which typically pay principal at maturity, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance history will be available for the fund after the fund has been in operation for one calendar year.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Using quantitative analysis to balance the fund’s risk across four risk factors: growth (risk of reduced earnings expectations and increased default risk), inflation (risk of rising consumer inflation), real rates (risk of rising real interest rates), and liquidity (risk of reduced liquidity).

• Constructing a factor portfolio for each risk factor using a broad set of asset classes whose primary risk is the associated risk factor.

• Combining the factor portfolios, seeking to maximize the worst-case risk diversification across a set of market regimes.

• Allocating the fund’s assets across affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to a broad range of asset classes including equities (including domestic, international, and emerging markets equities), debt (including investment-grade debt, high yield debt, emerging markets debt, U.S. government securities, leveraged loans and international bonds), commodities and real estate.

• Investing in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

• Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including long and short investments in derivatives – such as forward contracts, futures, options and swaps – and forward-settling securities, to: create and adjust the fund’s investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Macro Opportunities Fund seeks total return.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s investments across different market sectors, countries (U.S. and non-U.S.), and regions, including emerging markets. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics. Emerging markets tend to have relatively low gross national product per capita compared to the world’s major economies and may have the potential for rapid economic growth.

The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s assets among affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to equity, debt, currency, and commodities markets. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis to evaluate macroeconomic themes based on secular trends, business cycles and market regimes to identify divergences between what is expected by the market and what is likely to occur. For purposes of the fund, fundamental analysis involves factors including broad market earnings outlook, and economic and market conditions. Accordingly, the Adviser invests the fund in assets that

offer an attractive risk/return profile in the context of those themes. The Adviser also uses proprietary portfolio construction methodologies to express views on major asset allocation dimensions, including stocks versus bonds, bonds versus cash, relative country allocation, credit spreads, nominal versus inflation linked bonds, commodities versus equities, and foreign exchange (FX).

The Adviser invests the fund’s assets in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

The Adviser also invests in derivatives, both long and short, such as: forward contracts, including forward foreign currency contracts; futures, including currency, equity, index, interest rate and other bond futures; options; and swaps, including credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps. The Adviser uses derivatives to: create and adjust investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risks; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies. Therefore, the Adviser expects the fund to have investment leverage, defined as market exposure in excess of the fund’s assets, as a result of the fund’s investments in derivatives.

The Adviser may invest up to 25% of the fund’s assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the

Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is managed by the same investment adviser as the fund. The Subsidiary is expected to invest directly in total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments (including options and forward contracts based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes, and commodity futures), and in commodity-related ETFs and ETNs. The Subsidiary will not be managed to take delivery of physical commodities, and may divest of certain commodity-linked derivative instruments (namely commodity futures) to avoid delivery.

Because the fund is classified as non-diversified, the Adviser may invest a significant percentage of the fund’s assets in a single issuer.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Risk Parity Fund seeks total return.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Adviser uses quantitative analysis to balance risk through different market regimes and time horizons. Quantitative analysis refers to programmatic models that analyze the foregoing factors based on data inputs. The Adviser will seek to manage the fund’s volatility by balancing risk across four factors: growth (risk of reduced earnings expectations and increased default risk), inflation (risk of rising consumer inflation), real rates (risk of rising real interest rates), and

liquidity (risk of reduced liquidity). The Adviser constructs a factor portfolio for each risk factor using a broad set of asset classes whose primary risk is the associated factor. The Adviser combines the factor portfolios and seeks to maximize the worst-case risk diversification across a set of market regimes. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument or index over time. While attempts are made to manage the fund’s volatility, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve its target volatility.

The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s assets across affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to a broad range of asset classes, including equities (including domestic, international, and emerging markets equities), debt (including investment-grade debt, high yield debt, emerging markets debt, U.S. government securities, leveraged loans and international bonds), commodities and real estate.

The Adviser invests in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

The Adviser also invests the fund’s assets in derivatives, such as: forward contracts, including forward foreign currency contracts; futures, including currency, equity, index, interest rate and other bond futures; options; and swaps, including credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps. The Adviser uses derivatives to: create and adjust investment exposure; enhance

total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risks; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies. Therefore, the Adviser expects the fund to have investment leverage, defined as market exposure in excess of the fund’s assets, as a result of the fund’s investments in derivatives.

The Adviser intends to manage the fund to achieve portfolio characteristics similar to that of the Fidelity Total Investable Market Risk Parity Composite Index. The index weightings are adjusted monthly to reflect the fund’s changing asset allocations. Index descriptions appear in the “Additional Index Information” section of the prospectus.

The Adviser may invest up to 25% of the fund’s assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is managed by the same investment adviser as the fund. The Subsidiary is expected to invest directly in total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments (including options and forward contracts based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes, and commodity futures), and in commodity-related ETFs and ETNs. The Subsidiary will not be managed to take delivery of physical commodities, and may divest of certain commodity-linked derivative instruments (namely commodity futures) to avoid delivery.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, currency, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, forwards, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of an index, security, or other instrument or investment) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection). Currency-related derivatives, in particular, include FX transactions such as spot FX trades, FX forwards, non-deliverable forwards, and cross-currency FX trades. Derivative instruments may include:

• A futures contract is an exchange-traded derivative transaction between two parties in which a buyer (holding the “long” position) agrees to pay a fixed price (or rate) at a specified future date for delivery of an underlying reference from a seller (holding the “short” position).

• Options are derivatives that give the purchaser the right to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific amount of an underlying instrument, foreign currency or contract (such as a swap agreement or futures contract) on the underlying instrument or foreign currency from or to a counterparty at a specified price (the strike price) on or before an expiration date.

• In swap transactions, two parties agree to exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indices, reference rates, currencies or other instruments.

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. When a fund does not already own or have the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount, a commitment to sell securities is equivalent to a short sale. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities (including Treasury securities), repurchase agreements, money market securities, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, loans and loan participations, and other securities

believed to have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

A repurchase agreement is an agreement to buy a security at one price and a simultaneous agreement to sell it back at an agreed-upon price.

Commodity-linked derivative instruments are indexed to all or part of a commodities index or to a single commodity. Commodity-linked derivative instruments include debt securities and other investments whose maturity values, interest rates, or returns are determined by reference to a commodities index and are designed to provide exposure to the entire index, and may include other investments that provide exposure to less than the entire commodities index or to a single commodity. Commodity-linked derivative instruments may be positively or negatively indexed, meaning their maturity value may be structured to increase or decrease as commodity values change.

U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its various instrumentalities and agencies.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. A fund’s share price and yield change daily based on the performance of the underlying funds and derivative instruments in which it invests and changes in market conditions and interest rates and in

 

 

Prospectus   18  


response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of underlying funds and derivative instruments in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer or counterparty, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that underlying fund or issuer or counterparty. In addition, because Fidelity Macro Opportunities Fund may invest a significant percentage of assets in a single issuer, the fund’s performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. Unlike individual debt securities, which typically pay principal at maturity, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund’s performance:

Asset Allocation Risk. A fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser’s asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

Investing in Other Funds. Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, and in certain cases further limit investments to the extent a fund’s shares are

already held by the Adviser or its affiliates. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds. The fund does not control the investments of the underlying funds, which may have different investment objectives and may engage in investment strategies that the fund would not engage in directly. Aggregation of underlying fund holdings may result in indirect concentration of assets in a particular industry or group of industries, or in a single issuer, which may increase volatility. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current or projected performance of an underlying fund’s index or of the actual securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the performance of these underlying passively managed funds could be lower than actively managed funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. In addition, errors in the construction or calculation of the index tracked by an underlying passively managed fund may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may have an adverse impact on the performance of the underlying fund and its shareholders.

Fund Basics – continued

 

Investing in ETFs and ETNs. ETFs and ETNs may trade in the secondary market (e.g., on a stock exchange) at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. An ETF that is not actively managed cannot sell poorly performing stocks or other assets as long as they are represented in its index or other benchmark. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error risk (the risk of errors in matching the ETF’s underlying assets to its index or other benchmark). ETNs are subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including counterparty risk of the issuer.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities, including money market securities, have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and certain types of securities, such as mortgage securities and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector, can be more sensitive to interest rate changes, meaning the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security’s price. Short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates. Securities with floating interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if

their interest rates do not rise as much as interest rates in general. Securities whose payment at maturity is based on the movement of all or part of an index and inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities. Some countries experience low or negative interest rates from time to time, which may magnify interest rate risk for the market as a whole and for a fund. The discontinuation and replacement of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (an indicative measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks could borrow from one another) and other benchmark rates may have a significant impact on the financial markets and may adversely impact a fund’s performance.

Correlation Risk. Changes in the value of the asset classes in which the fund invests or specific investments within those asset classes may not track or offset each other in the manner anticipated by the Adviser. Because the fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across multiple asset classes and, within each asset class, to balance risk across different countries and investments, to the extent either the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the fund’s risk allocation process may not produce the intended result.

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long

 

 

Prospectus   20  


term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and “growth” stocks can react differently from “value” stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

Quantitative Investing. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities and short sale transactions involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities

and short sale transactions also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, available for purchase, or paid for when anticipated. An increase in the market price of securities sold short will result in a loss. Government legislation or regulation could affect the use of these transactions and could limit a fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategies. The use of derivatives can increase the fund’s risk exposure to underlying assets and their attendant risks, such as credit risk, stock market volatility risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, while also exposing the fund to the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation; the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as anticipated with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, thereby reducing their effectiveness; counterparty risk; inflation risk; leverage risk; and liquidity risk.

The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in traditional securities and instruments. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives will achieve their intended result. If the Adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuation in securities prices, interest rates, currency prices or other variables, the use of derivatives could result in losses, which may be significant. A lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivatives and the value of the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged could also result in losses. In addition, there is a risk that the performance of the derivatives or

 

 

  21   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

other instruments used by the Adviser to replicate the performance of a particular asset class may not accurately track the performance of that asset class. The fund’s use of derivatives also may cause the fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the fund had not used such instruments.

Futures Contract Risk. The fund may invest in bond, currency, equity, index, and interest rate futures contracts. Certain futures contract markets are highly volatile, the use of futures may increase the volatility of the fund’s NAV, and futures contracts may be illiquid or less liquid than the underlying reference. Futures are traded on exchanges that may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices by imposing a maximum permissible daily price movement. The fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on the exchange on which they were entered into or through a linked exchange, and no secondary market exists for such contracts. Futures positions are marked to market each day and variation margin payment must be paid to or by the fund. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in futures trading, it is possible that the fund may employ a high degree of leverage in the portfolio. For certain types of futures contracts, losses are theoretically unlimited. Moreover, futures contracts executed (if any) on foreign exchanges may not provide the same protection as U.S. exchanges.

Options Risk. The fund may purchase or write (i.e., sell) put and call options. When writing options, the fund is exposed to the risk that it may be required to buy or sell the underlying reference at a disadvantageous price on or before the expiration date. If the fund sells a put option, the fund may be required to buy the underlying reference at a strike price that is above market price, resulting in a loss. If the fund sells a call option, the fund may be required to sell the underlying reference at a strike price that is below market price, resulting in a loss. If the fund sells a call option that is not covered (it does not own the underlying reference), the fund’s losses are theoretically unlimited. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater volatility in price movement. Options may be traded on a securities exchange or in the OTC market.

Swaps Risk. The fund may invest in credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps. Swaps may be difficult to value and may be illiquid. The fund could experience losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. The fund may only close out a swap with its particular counterparty, and may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. Certain swaps, such as short swap transactions and total return swaps, have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

 

 

Prospectus   22  


Credit default swaps (including credit default swap indices) are a special type of swap where one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return upon the occurrence of a particular credit event by one or more third parties, such as bankruptcy, default or a similar event. A credit default swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument. If such a default were to occur, any contractual remedies that the fund may have may be subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws, which could delay or limit the fund’s recovery. Thus, if the counterparty to a credit default swap defaults on its obligation to make payments thereunder, as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise, the fund may lose such payments altogether, or collect only a portion thereof, which collection could involve costs or delays.

Credit default swap indices are indices that reflect the performance of a basket of credit default swaps and are subject to the same risks as credit default swaps, as well as additional risks. The fund’s return from investment in a credit default swap index may not match the return of the referenced index. Unexpected changes in the composition of the index may also affect performance of the credit default swap index. If a referenced index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the fund’s net assets, the terms of the fund’s credit default swap index may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction. In that

event, the fund may be unable to enter into another credit default swap index or otherwise achieve desired exposure, even if the referenced index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move.

Commodity-Linked Investing. The performance of commodities, commodity-linked swaps, futures, notes, and other commodity-related investments may depend on the performance of individual commodities and the overall commodities markets and on other factors that affect the value of commodities, including weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked instruments may be leveraged. For example, the price of a three-times leveraged commodity-linked note may change by a magnitude of three for every percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying index. Commodity-linked investments may be hybrid instruments that can have substantial risk of loss with respect to both principal and interest. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures, and may be subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer or counterparty. As a result, returns of commodity-linked investments may deviate significantly from the return of the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures. In addition, the regulatory and tax environment for commodity-linked derivative instruments is evolving, and changes in the regulation or taxation of such investments may have a material adverse impact on an underlying fund.

 

 

  23   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

Commodity Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which the fund’s positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Under such daily limits, during a single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a particular commodity futures contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. If triggered, these limits could prevent the fund from liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the fund to losses or prevent it from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day. A commodity futures contract could also move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby further prolonging the liquidation of positions and subjecting some holders of such futures contracts to additional losses. In extraordinary circumstances, a futures exchange or the applicable regulator could suspend trading in a particular futures contract, or order liquidation or settlement of all open positions in such contract.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities

with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the

 

 

Prospectus   24  


possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.

Currency Exposure. Because the fund is normally exposed to foreign currencies, it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a fund invests in foreign currencies or engages in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to emerging market countries. These emerging markets currency transactions may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed foreign currencies or engaging in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to developed foreign countries.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these

types of changes, and if the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), including floating rate loans, and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price, and often are considered to be speculative. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

Subsidiary Risk. The investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to

 

 

  25   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

be held by the fund and, therefore, the Subsidiary is subject to risks similar to those of the fund, including the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general. Because the Subsidiary is organized under Cayman Islands law and is not registered under the 1940 Act, the Subsidiary is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in U.S. or Cayman Islands laws could result in the inability of the fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus.

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, inflation-protected debt securities, and floating rate loans, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security’s maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment or when the credit quality of an issuer improves and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Other Investment Strategies

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend a fund’s securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund. When the Adviser believes that suitable commodity-linked derivative instruments are not available, or during other unusual market conditions, the Adviser may leave all or a significant portion of the fund’s assets invested in cash, cash equivalents, or short-term investment-grade debt securities.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. Fidelity calculates NAV separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.

NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that a fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be

 

 

Prospectus   26  


affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

NAV is calculated using the values of the underlying funds in which a fund invests. Shares of underlying funds (other than ETFs) are valued at their respective NAVs. For an explanation of the circumstances under which the underlying funds will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing, see the underlying funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information (SAIs). Other assets (including securities issued by ETFs) are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be

used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value.

Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.

Policies regarding excessive trading may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions

A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.

Each fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.

Excessive Trading Policy

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder’s account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including

exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder’s control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in the Adviser’s opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund’s interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund’s excessive trading policy described above: (i) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (ii) mandatory retirement distributions, (iii) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts, (iv) transactions within a qualified advisory program, and

Shareholder Information – continued

 

(v) transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds.

A qualified advisory program is one that demonstrates to Fidelity that the program has investment strategies and trading policies designed to protect the interests of long-term investors and meets specific criteria outlined by Fidelity.

A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the fund’s excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the fund’s Treasurer.

Fidelity may choose not to monitor transactions below certain dollar value thresholds.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading.

Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund’s excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund’s policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund’s policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary’s clients. There is no assurance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund’s Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund’s policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

As described in “Valuing Shares,” the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund’s excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

Eligibility

Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for fund shares.

Price to Buy

The price to buy one share is its NAV. Shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.

Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when fund shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

 

 

  31   Prospectus


Shareholder Information – continued

 

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share is its NAV.

Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.

Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

See “Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares” below for additional redemption information.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity® mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, Fidelity may require that your request be made

in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

• When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.

• When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.

• When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner.

• In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity® mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity® Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.

• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

 

Prospectus   32  


• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of a fund.

• You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

• If you hold your shares in a Fidelity® mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for six months, the check may be invested in additional shares at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.

• Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares

If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.

If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that

a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.

As noted elsewhere, payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.

Redemption Methods Available. Generally a fund expects to pay redemption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy redemption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also satisfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an available line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.

 

 

  33   Prospectus


Shareholder Information – continued

 

In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemption in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemption order in proper form by a fund.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares for shares of other Fidelity® funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

• The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.

• Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in the Adviser’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

• Before any exchange, read the prospectus for the shares you are purchasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.

• The shares you are acquiring by exchange must be available for sale in your state.

• Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.

• If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.

• Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The funds may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums. Check each fund’s prospectus for details.

Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations. In addition, each fund reserves the right to involuntarily redeem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening conduct or actual or suspected fraudulent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other individual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner

to provide information to the funds related to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, calculated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in March and December.

Earning Dividends

A fund processes purchase and redemption requests only on days it is open for business.

Shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.

Shares generally earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.

Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available:

1. Reinvestment Option. Any dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Any capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. Any dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Any dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Any dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity® fund. Any capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity® fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options may be available for every account and certain restrictions may apply. If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity’s web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your

checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on Distributions

Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain of each fund’s distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of each fund’s distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. Because each fund’s income is primarily derived from interest, dividends from each fund generally will not qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rates available to individuals.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be “buying a

dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Taxes on Transactions

Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity® fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity® fund.

Advisory Fee(s)

Each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.

Each fund’s annual management fee rate, as a percentage of its average net assets, is shown in the following table:

 

Fund   Management
Fee Rate
Fidelity® Macro Opportunities Fund   0.80%
Fidelity® Risk Parity Fund   0.60%

The Adviser pays FMR UK, FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract

and sub-advisory agreements for each fund will be included in the fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2022, when available.

From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while retaining the ability to be repaid if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.

Fund Distribution

Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes each fund’s shares.

Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of fund shares. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

Distribution and Service Plan(s)

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or

its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a class’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity® funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity® funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

For individual investors opening an account: When you open an account, you will be asked for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Fidelity to identify you. You may also be asked to provide documents that may help to establish your identity, such as your driver’s license.

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested,

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Allocating investments across different market sectors, countries (U.S. and non-U.S.), and regions, including emerging markets. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics.

• Allocating the fund’s assets among affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to equity, debt, currency, and commodities markets.

• Using fundamental analysis to evaluate macroeconomic themes based on

secular trends, business cycles and

market regimes, and to invest the fund in assets that offer an attractive risk/return profile in the context of those themes.

• Using proprietary portfolio construction methodologies to express views on major asset allocation dimensions.

• Investing in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

• Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including long and short investments in derivatives – such as forward contracts, futures, options and swaps – and forward-settling securities, to: create and adjust the fund’s investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risk; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.

• Investing up to 25% of assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands that invests in commodity-linked total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments, commodity-related ETFs and commodity-related exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

Principal Investment Risks

• Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser’s asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

• Investing in Other Funds. Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, which means that the fund’s manager may not be able to invest as much as it wants to in some other funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives. Underlying funds that are passively managed attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities and as such their performance could be lower than actively managed funds, which may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline. In addition, errors in the construction of the index tracked by an underlying passively managed fund may have an adverse impact on the performance of such underlying fund.

• Investing in ETFs and ETNs. ETFs and ETNs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other

benchmark. ETNs are subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including counterparty risk of the issuer.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

• Correlation Risk. The fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across multiple asset classes and, within each asset class, across different countries and investments. To the extent the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the fund’s risk allocation process may result in magnified risks and loss instead of reducing the risk of loss.

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

• Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. The fund’s use of futures, forwards, options, swaps, and other derivative instruments may result in losses. The value of these derivative instruments may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments and may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the fund. The use of

 

 

Prospectus   6  


 

 

derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Moreover, a relatively small price movement in a derivative contract may result in substantial losses to the fund, exceeding the amount of the margin paid. The use of derivatives can increase the fund’s risk exposure to underlying assets and their attendant risks, while also exposing the fund to the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as anticipated with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, thereby reducing their effectiveness.

• Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.

• Commodity Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which the fund’s positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Under such daily limits, during a single trading day no trades may be

executed at prices beyond the daily limit.

If triggered, these limits could prevent the fund from liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the fund to losses or prevent it from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.

• Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.

• Currency Exposure. Because the fund is normally exposed to foreign currencies, it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a fund invests in foreign currencies or engages in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to emerging market countries. These emerging markets currency transactions may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks

Fund Summary – continued

 

different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed foreign currencies or engaging in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to developed foreign countries.

• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer or other borrower in a securities lending transaction) can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s value or result in delays in recovering securities and/or capital from a counterparty.

• Subsidiary Risk. Investment in Fidelity Global Macro Opportunities Cayman Ltd., an unregistered subsidiary, is not subject to the investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and is subject to the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general. Changes in tax and other laws could negatively affect investments in the subsidiary.

• Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.

In addition, the fund is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act, which means that it has the ability to invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would

occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Unlike individual debt securities, which typically pay principal at maturity, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

Performance history will be available for the fund after the fund has been in operation for one calendar year.

Investment Adviser

FDS (the Adviser) is the fund’s manager. Other investment advisers serve as sub-advisers for the fund.

Portfolio Manager(s)

Jordan Alexiev (portfolio manager) has managed the fund since June 2022.

Fund Summary – continued

 

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Using quantitative analysis to balance the fund’s risk across four risk factors: growth (risk of reduced earnings expectations and increased default risk), inflation (risk of rising consumer inflation), real rates (risk of rising real interest rates), and liquidity (risk of reduced liquidity).

• Constructing a factor portfolio for each risk factor using a broad set of asset classes whose primary risk is the associated risk factor.

• Combining the factor portfolios, seeking to maximize the worst-case risk diversification across a set of market regimes.

• Allocating the fund’s assets across affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to a broad range of asset classes including equities (including domestic, international, and emerging markets equities), debt (including investment-grade debt, high yield debt, emerging

markets debt, U.S. government securities, leveraged loans and international bonds), commodities and real estate.

• Investing in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

• Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including long and short investments in derivatives – such as forward contracts, futures, options and swaps – and forward-settling securities, to: create and adjust the fund’s investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risk; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.

• Investing up to 25% of assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands that invests in commodity-linked total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments, commodity-related ETFs and commodity-related exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

Principal Investment Risks

• Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser’s asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among

 

 

Prospectus   12  


 

 

various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund’s active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.

• Investing in Other Funds. Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, which means that the fund’s manager may not be able to invest as much as it wants to in some other funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives. Underlying funds that are passively managed attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities and as such their performance could be lower than actively managed funds, which may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline. In addition, errors in the construction of the index tracked by an underlying passively managed fund may have an adverse impact on the performance of such underlying fund.

• Investing in ETFs and ETNs. ETFs and ETNs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other benchmark. ETNs are subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including counterparty risk of the issuer.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

• Correlation Risk. The fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across multiple asset classes and, within each asset class, across different countries and investments. To the extent the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the fund’s risk allocation process may result in magnified risks and loss instead of reducing the risk of loss.

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

• Quantitative Investing. Securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes in the factors’ historical trends.

• Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. The fund’s use of futures, forwards, options, swaps, and other derivative instruments may result in losses. The value of these derivative instruments may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments and may be

illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the fund. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Moreover, a relatively small price movement in a derivative contract may result in substantial losses to the fund, exceeding the amount of the margin paid. The use of derivatives can increase the fund’s risk exposure to underlying assets and their attendant risks, while also exposing the fund to the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as anticipated with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, thereby reducing their effectiveness.

• Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.

• Commodity Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which the fund’s positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during

a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Under such daily limits, during a single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If triggered, these limits could prevent the fund from liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the fund to losses or prevent it from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.

• Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.

• Currency Exposure. Because the fund is normally exposed to foreign currencies, it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a fund invests in foreign currencies or engages in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to emerging market countries. These emerging markets currency transactions may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks

different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed foreign currencies or engaging in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to developed foreign countries.

• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer or other borrower in a securities lending transaction) can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s value or result in delays in recovering securities and/or capital from a counterparty.

• Subsidiary Risk. Investment in Fidelity Risk Parity Cayman Ltd., an unregistered subsidiary, is not subject to the investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and is subject to the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general. Changes in tax and other laws could negatively affect investments in the subsidiary.

• Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Fidelity Advisor® Macro Opportunities Fund seeks total return.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s investments across different market sectors, countries (U.S. and non-U.S.), and regions, including emerging markets. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics. Emerging markets tend to have relatively low gross national product per capita compared to the world’s major economies and may have the potential for rapid economic growth.

The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s assets among affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to equity, debt, currency, and commodities markets. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis to evaluate macroeconomic themes based on secular trends, business cycles and market regimes to identify divergences between what is expected by the market and what is likely to occur. For purposes of the fund, fundamental analysis involves factors including broad market earnings outlook, and

economic and market conditions. Accordingly, the Adviser invests the fund in assets that offer an attractive risk/return profile in the context of those themes. The Adviser also uses proprietary portfolio construction methodologies to express views on major asset allocation dimensions, including stocks versus bonds, bonds versus cash, relative country allocation, credit spreads, nominal versus inflation linked bonds, commodities versus equities, and foreign exchange (FX).

The Adviser invests the fund’s assets in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

The Adviser also invests in derivatives, both long and short, such as: forward contracts, including forward foreign currency contracts; futures, including currency, equity, index, interest rate and other bond futures; options; and swaps, including credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps. The Adviser uses derivatives to: create and adjust investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risks; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies. Therefore, the Adviser expects the fund to have investment leverage, defined as market exposure in excess of the fund’s assets, as a result of the fund’s investments in derivatives.

Fund Basics – continued

 

The Adviser may invest up to 25% of the fund’s assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is managed by the same investment adviser as the fund. The Subsidiary is expected to invest directly in total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments (including options and forward contracts based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes, and commodity futures), and in commodity-related ETFs and ETNs. The Subsidiary will not be managed to take delivery of physical commodities, and may divest of certain commodity-linked derivative instruments (namely commodity futures) to avoid delivery.

Because the fund is classified as non-diversified, the Adviser may invest a significant percentage of the fund’s assets in a single issuer.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

Fidelity Advisor® Risk Parity Fund seeks total return.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Adviser uses quantitative analysis to balance risk through different market regimes and time horizons. Quantitative analysis refers to programmatic models that analyze the foregoing factors based on data inputs. The Adviser will seek to manage the fund’s volatility by balancing risk

across four factors: growth (risk of reduced earnings expectations and increased default risk), inflation (risk of rising consumer inflation), real rates (risk of rising real interest rates), and liquidity (risk of reduced liquidity). The Adviser constructs a factor portfolio for each risk factor using a broad set of asset classes whose primary risk is the associated factor. The Adviser combines the factor portfolios and seeks to maximize the worst-case risk diversification across a set of market regimes. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument or index over time. While attempts are made to manage the fund’s volatility, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve its target volatility.

The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s assets across affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, underlying funds) and derivatives that provide exposure to a broad range of asset classes, including equities (including domestic, international, and emerging markets equities), debt (including investment-grade debt, high yield debt, emerging markets debt, U.S. government securities, leveraged loans and international bonds), commodities and real estate.

The Adviser invests in underlying funds, derivatives, cash and cash equivalents.

The Adviser also invests the fund’s assets in derivatives, such as: forward contracts, including forward foreign

currency contracts; futures, including currency, equity, index, interest rate and other bond futures; options; and swaps, including credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps. The Adviser uses derivatives to: create and adjust investment exposure; enhance total return; hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; change the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio; manage certain investment risks; manage volatility; and/or substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies. Therefore, the Adviser expects the fund to have investment leverage, defined as market exposure in excess of the fund’s assets, as a result of the fund’s investments in derivatives.

The Adviser intends to manage the fund to achieve portfolio characteristics similar to that of the Fidelity Total Investable Market Risk Parity Composite Index. The index weightings are adjusted monthly to reflect the fund’s changing asset allocations. Index descriptions appear in the “Additional Index Information” section of the prospectus.

The Adviser may invest up to 25% of the fund’s assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is managed by the same investment adviser as the fund. The Subsidiary is expected to invest directly in total return swaps based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes and in other commodity-linked derivative instruments (including options and forward

contracts based on the value of commodities or commodities indexes, and commodity futures), and in commodity-related ETFs and ETNs. The Subsidiary will not be managed to take delivery of physical commodities, and may divest of certain commodity-linked derivative instruments (namely commodity futures) to avoid delivery.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Derivatives are investments whose values are tied to an underlying asset, instrument, currency, or index. Derivatives include futures, options, forwards, and swaps, such as interest rate swaps (exchanging a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (exchanging a floating rate for the total return of an index, security, or other instrument or investment) and credit default swaps (buying or selling credit default protection). Currency-related derivatives, in particular, include FX transactions such as spot FX trades, FX forwards, non-deliverable forwards, and cross-currency FX trades. Derivative instruments may include:

• A futures contract is an exchange-traded derivative transaction between two parties in which a buyer (holding the “long” position) agrees to pay a fixed price (or rate) at a specified future date for delivery of an underlying reference from a seller (holding the “short” position).

 

 

  19   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

• Options are derivatives that give the purchaser the right to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific amount of an underlying instrument, foreign currency or contract (such as a swap agreement or futures contract) on the underlying instrument or foreign currency from or to a counterparty at a specified price (the strike price) on or before an expiration date.

• In swap transactions, two parties agree to exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indices, reference rates, currencies or other instruments.

Forward-settling securities involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities when issued, or at a predetermined price or yield. When a fund does not already own or have the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount, a commitment to sell securities is equivalent to a short sale. Payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period.

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount

borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities (including Treasury securities), repurchase agreements, money market securities, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, loans and loan participations, and other securities believed to have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

A repurchase agreement is an agreement to buy a security at one price and a simultaneous agreement to sell it back at an agreed-upon price.

Commodity-linked derivative instruments are indexed to all or part of a commodities index or to a single commodity. Commodity-linked derivative instruments include debt securities and other investments whose maturity values, interest rates, or returns are determined by reference to a commodities index and are designed to provide exposure to the entire index, and may include other investments that provide exposure to less than the entire commodities index or to a single commodity. Commodity-linked derivative instruments may be positively or negatively indexed, meaning their maturity value may be structured to increase or decrease as commodity values change.

U.S. Government securities are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its various instrumentalities and agencies.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. A fund’s share price and yield change daily based on the performance of the underlying funds and derivative instruments in which it invests and changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of underlying funds and derivative instruments in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer or counterparty, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that underlying fund or issuer or counterparty. In addition, because Fidelity Macro Opportunities Fund may invest a significant percentage of assets in a single issuer, the fund’s performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. Unlike individual debt securities, which typically pay principal at maturity, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund’s performance:

Asset Allocation Risk. A fund is subject to risks resulting from the

Adviser’s asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

Investing in Other Funds. Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, and in certain cases further limit investments to the extent a fund’s shares are already held by the Adviser or its affiliates. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds. The fund does not control the investments of the underlying funds, which may have different investment objectives and may engage in investment strategies that the fund would not engage in directly. Aggregation of underlying fund holdings may result in indirect concentration of assets in a particular industry or group of industries, or in a single issuer, which may increase volatility. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current or projected performance of an underlying fund’s index or of the actual securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the performance of these underlying passively managed funds could be lower than actively managed funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more

Fund Basics – continued

 

issuers. In addition, errors in the construction or calculation of the index tracked by an underlying passively managed fund may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may have an adverse impact on the performance of the underlying fund and its shareholders.

Investing in ETFs and ETNs. ETFs and ETNs may trade in the secondary market (e.g., on a stock exchange) at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. An ETF that is not actively managed cannot sell poorly performing stocks or other assets as long as they are represented in its index or other benchmark. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error risk (the risk of errors in matching the ETF’s underlying assets to its index or other benchmark). ETNs are subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including counterparty risk of the issuer.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities, including money market securities, have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and certain types of securities, such as mortgage securities and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector, can be more sensitive to interest rate changes, meaning the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security’s price. Short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the

same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates. Securities with floating interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much as interest rates in general. Securities whose payment at maturity is based on the movement of all or part of an index and inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities. Some countries experience low or negative interest rates from time to time, which may magnify interest rate risk for the market as a whole and for a fund. The discontinuation and replacement of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (an indicative measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks could borrow from one another) and other benchmark rates may have a significant impact on the financial markets and may adversely impact a fund’s performance.

Correlation Risk. Changes in the value of the asset classes in which the fund invests or specific investments within those asset classes may not track or offset each other in the manner anticipated by the Adviser. Because the fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across multiple asset classes and, within each asset class, to balance risk across different countries and investments, to the extent either the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the

 

 

Prospectus   22  


 

 

fund’s risk allocation process may not produce the intended result.

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and “growth” stocks can react differently from “value” stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

Quantitative Investing. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities and short sale transactions involve leverage

because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities and short sale transactions also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, available for purchase, or paid for when anticipated. An increase in the market price of securities sold short will result in a loss. Government legislation or regulation could affect the use of these transactions and could limit a fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategies. The use of derivatives can increase the fund’s risk exposure to underlying assets and their attendant risks, such as credit risk, stock market volatility risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, while also exposing the fund to the risk of mispricing or other improper valuation; the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as anticipated with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall securities markets, thereby reducing their effectiveness; counterparty risk; inflation risk; leverage risk; and liquidity risk.

The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in traditional securities and instruments. There is no guarantee that the use of

 

 

  23   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

derivatives will achieve their intended result. If the Adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuation in securities prices, interest rates, currency prices or other variables, the use of derivatives could result in losses, which may be significant. A lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivatives and the value of the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged could also result in losses. In addition, there is a risk that the performance of the derivatives or other instruments used by the Adviser to replicate the performance of a particular asset class may not accurately track the performance of that asset class. The fund’s use of derivatives also may cause the fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the fund had not used such instruments.

Futures Contract Risk. The fund may invest in bond, currency, equity, index, and interest rate futures contracts. Certain futures contract markets are highly volatile, the use of futures may increase the volatility of the fund’s NAV, and futures contracts may be illiquid or less liquid than the underlying reference. Futures are traded on exchanges that may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices by imposing a maximum permissible daily price movement. The fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on the exchange on which they were entered into or through a linked

exchange, and no secondary market exists for such contracts. Futures positions are marked to market each day and variation margin payment must be paid to or by the fund. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in futures trading, it is possible that the fund may employ a high degree of leverage in the portfolio. For certain types of futures contracts, losses are theoretically unlimited. Moreover, futures contracts executed (if any) on foreign exchanges may not provide the same protection as U.S. exchanges.

Options Risk. The fund may purchase or write (i.e., sell) put and call options. When writing options, the fund is exposed to the risk that it may be required to buy or sell the underlying reference at a disadvantageous price on or before the expiration date. If the fund sells a put option, the fund may be required to buy the underlying reference at a strike price that is above market price, resulting in a loss. If the fund sells a call option, the fund may be required to sell the underlying reference at a strike price that is below market price, resulting in a loss. If the fund sells a call option that is not covered (it does not own the underlying reference), the fund’s losses are theoretically unlimited. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater volatility in price movement. Options may be traded on a securities exchange or in the OTC market.

Swaps Risk. The fund may invest in credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps. Swaps may be difficult to value and may be illiquid. The fund could experience losses if the

 

 

Prospectus   24  


 

 

underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. The fund may only close out a swap with its particular counterparty, and may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. Certain swaps, such as short swap transactions and total return swaps, have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Credit default swaps (including credit default swap indices) are a special type of swap where one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return upon the occurrence of a particular credit event by one or more third parties, such as bankruptcy, default or a similar event. A credit default swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument. If such a default were to occur, any contractual remedies that the fund may have may be subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws, which could delay or limit the fund’s recovery. Thus, if the counterparty to a credit default swap defaults on its obligation to make payments thereunder, as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise, the fund may lose such payments altogether, or collect only a portion thereof, which collection could involve costs or delays.

Credit default swap indices are indices that reflect the performance of a basket of credit default swaps and are subject to the same risks as credit default swaps, as well as additional risks. The fund’s return from investment in a credit default swap index may not match the return of the referenced index. Unexpected changes in

the composition of the index may also affect performance of the credit default swap index. If a referenced index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the fund’s net assets, the terms of the fund’s credit default swap index may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction. In that event, the fund may be unable to enter into another credit default swap index or otherwise achieve desired exposure, even if the referenced index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move.

Commodity-Linked Investing. The performance of commodities, commodity-linked swaps, futures, notes, and other commodity-related investments may depend on the performance of individual commodities and the overall commodities markets and on other factors that affect the value of commodities, including weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked instruments may be leveraged. For example, the price of a three-times leveraged commodity-linked note may change by a magnitude of three for every percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying index. Commodity-linked investments may be hybrid instruments that can have substantial risk of loss with respect to both principal and interest. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures, and may be subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer or counterparty. As a result, returns of commodity-linked investments may deviate

 

 

  25   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

significantly from the return of the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures. In addition, the regulatory and tax environment for commodity-linked derivative instruments is evolving, and changes in the regulation or taxation of such investments may have a material adverse impact on an underlying fund.

Commodity Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which the fund’s positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Under such daily limits, during a single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a particular commodity futures contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. If triggered, these limits could prevent the fund from liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the fund to losses or prevent it from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day. A commodity futures contract could also move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby further prolonging the liquidation of positions and subjecting some holders of such futures contracts to additional losses. In extraordinary circumstances, a futures exchange or the applicable

regulator could suspend trading in a particular futures contract, or order liquidation or settlement of all open positions in such contract.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties.

 

 

Prospectus   26  


All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.

Currency Exposure. Because the fund is normally exposed to foreign currencies, it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a fund invests in foreign currencies or engages in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to emerging market countries. These emerging markets currency transactions may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed foreign currencies or engaging in foreign currency transactions that are economically tied to developed foreign countries.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default

by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes, and if the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), including floating rate loans, and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price, and often are considered to be speculative. The default rate for lower-quality debt

 

 

  27   Prospectus


Fund Basics – continued

 

securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

Subsidiary Risk. The investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the fund and, therefore, the Subsidiary is subject to risks similar to those of the fund, including the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general. Because the Subsidiary is organized under Cayman Islands law and is not registered under the 1940 Act, the Subsidiary is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in U.S. or Cayman Islands laws could result in the inability of the fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus.

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, inflation-protected debt securities, and floating rate loans, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security’s maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment or when the credit quality of an issuer improves and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Other Investment Strategies

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend a fund’s securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund. When the Adviser believes that suitable commodity-linked derivative instruments are not available, or during other unusual market conditions, the Adviser may leave all or a significant portion of the fund’s assets invested in cash, cash equivalents, or short-term investment-grade debt securities.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. Fidelity calculates NAV separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.

NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders

 

 

Prospectus   28  


are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that a fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

NAV is calculated using the values of the underlying funds in which a fund invests. Shares of underlying funds (other than ETFs) are valued at their respective NAVs. For an explanation of the circumstances under which the underlying funds will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing, see the underlying funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information (SAIs). Other assets (including securities issued by ETFs) are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is

principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value.

Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.

Policies regarding excessive trading may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Shareholder Information

 

Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares

As used in this prospectus, the term “shares” generally refers to the shares offered through this prospectus.

General Information

Ways to Invest

You may buy or sell shares through a retirement account or an investment professional. When you invest through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares and the account features, policies, and fees may differ. Additional fees may apply to your investment in shares, including a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares through a broker or other investment professional. Your broker may also require you to pay brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of certain share classes of the fund.

Information on Placing Orders

You should include the following information with any order:

• Your name

• Your account number

• Type of transaction requested

• Name(s) of fund(s) and class(es)

• Dollar amount or number of shares

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions

A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.

Each fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.

Excessive Trading Policy

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder’s account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund

 

 

Prospectus   30  


 

 

within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder’s control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in the Adviser’s opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund’s interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund’s excessive trading policy described above: (i) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (ii) mandatory retirement distributions, (iii) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts, (iv) transactions within a qualified advisory program, and (v) transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds.

A qualified advisory program is one that demonstrates to Fidelity that the program has investment strategies and trading policies designed to protect the interests of long-term investors and meets specific criteria outlined by Fidelity.

A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the fund’s excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the fund’s Treasurer.

Fidelity may choose not to monitor transactions below certain dollar value thresholds.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

 

 

  31   Prospectus


Shareholder Information – continued

 

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund’s excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund’s policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund’s policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary’s clients. There is no assurance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement

plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund’s Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund’s policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

As described in “Valuing Shares,” the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund’s excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

Eligibility

Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.

Each class of the fund has different expenses and features, as described in the applicable prospectus. Investors eligible to purchase one class of shares may also be eligible to purchase other classes of shares of the fund. Your investment professional, as applicable,

Price to Buy

The price to buy one share of Class A or Class M is its offering price or its NAV, depending on whether you pay a front-end sales charge.

The price to buy one share of Class C, Class I, or Class Z is its NAV. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon redemption. Class I and Class Z shares are sold without a

sales charge.

If you pay a front-end sales charge, your price will be Class A’s or Class M’s

 

 

Prospectus   34  


 

 

offering price. When you buy Class A or Class M shares at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and invests the rest in Class A or Class M shares of the fund. If you qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver, your price will be Class A’s or Class M’s NAV.

The offering price of Class A or Class M is its NAV plus the sales charge. The offering price is calculated by dividing Class A’s or Class M’s NAV by the difference between one and the applicable front-end sales charge percentage and rounding to the nearest cent.

The dollar amount of the sales charge for Class A or Class M is the difference between the offering price of the shares purchased and the NAV of those shares. Since the offering price per share is calculated to the nearest cent using standard rounding criteria, the percentage sales charge you actually pay may be higher or lower than the sales charge percentages shown in this prospectus due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class’s NAV.

Shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after an order is received in proper form.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy

shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.

Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended,

restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of Class A, Class M, or Class C is its NAV, minus any applicable CDSC. The price to sell one share of Class I or Class Z is its NAV.

Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form, minus any applicable CDSC. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary, minus any applicable CDSC. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

See “Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares” below for additional redemption information.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

• When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.

• When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.

• When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner.

• In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity® account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker-dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.

• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

 

Prospectus   36  


 

 

• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of a fund.

• You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

• Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Class Z:

When your relationship with your managed account provider is terminated, your shares may be sold at the NAV next calculated, in which case the redemption proceeds will remain in your account pending your instruction.

Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares

If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.

If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that

a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.

As noted elsewhere, payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.

Redemption Methods Available. Generally a fund expects to pay redemption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy redemption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also satisfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an available line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.

 

 

  37   Prospectus


Shareholder Information – continued

 

In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemption in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemption order in proper form by a fund.

Converting Shares

Each fund will automatically convert your class of shares of the fund to Class Z shares, if Class Z of the fund is available under your plan.

Each fund may convert your Class Z shares to another class of shares of the fund, including classes of shares not offered in this prospectus that are available under your plan, if your plan is no longer eligible to offer Class Z. Information on the other classes of shares of each fund can be found in that class’s prospectus. Investors will be notified in writing before any such conversion to another class.

A conversion will be based on the respective NAVs of the two classes, without the imposition of any fees, on the trade date of the conversion. A conversion between share classes of the same fund is a non-taxable event.

Conversion Feature. After a maximum of eight years from the initial date of purchase, Class C shares convert automatically to Class A shares of a fund. Conversion to Class A shares will be made at NAV. At the time of

conversion, a portion of the Class C shares bought through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also convert to Class A shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will convert is determined by the ratio of your converting Class C non-Dividend Shares to your total Class C non-Dividend Shares. A fund may convert shares sooner in certain circumstances. A shorter holding period may also apply depending on your intermediary. Please see “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermediaries” in the “Appendix” section of this prospectus. A fund will permit an intermediary to transition Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, regardless of holding period, if the intermediary is unable to administer this conversion policy. Such transitions to Class A shares will be made at NAV minus any applicable CDSC.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a Class A shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class A shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares at NAV or for Daily Money Class shares of Fidelity® funds that offer Daily Money Class shares.

As a Class M shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class M shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor

 

 

Prospectus   38  


 

 

classes of shares at NAV or for Advisor M Class shares of Fidelity® Government Money Market Fund. If you purchased your Class M shares through certain investment professionals that have signed an agreement with FDC, you also have the privilege of exchanging your Class M shares for shares of Fidelity® Capital Appreciation Fund.

As a Class C shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class C shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund.

As a Class I shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class I shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for shares of Fidelity® funds.

As a Class Z shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class Z shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or Class Z shares of other Fidelity® funds available through your employee benefit plan, or if the Fidelity® fund does not offer Class Z shares, then other classes of the Fidelity® fund that are available through your plan.

Through your investment professional, you may also move between certain share classes of the same fund. For more information, see the statement of additional information (SAI) or consult your investment professional.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

• The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.

• Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in the Adviser’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

• An exchange of shares is not subject to any applicable CDSCs.

• Before any exchange, read the prospectus for the shares you are purchasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.

• The shares you are acquiring by exchange must be available for sale in your state.

• Exchanges may have tax consequences for you if you own shares in a taxable account.

• If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.

• Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The funds may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.

Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations. In addition, each fund reserves the right to involuntarily redeem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening conduct or actual or suspected fraudulent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other individual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner to provide information to the funds related to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, calculated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in March and December.

Any capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity® fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options may be available for every account and certain restrictions may apply. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be

converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Any dividends and capital gain distributions paid to retirement plan participants will be automatically reinvested.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on Distributions

Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain of each fund’s distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of each fund’s distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. Because the fund’s income is primarily derived from interest, dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rates available to individuals.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

 

 

Prospectus   42  


Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Distributions by a fund to tax-advantaged retirement plan accounts are not taxable currently (but you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Taxes on Transactions

Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Exchanges within a tax-advantaged retirement plan account will not result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of distributions from a tax-advantaged retirement plan account.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company,

security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity® fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity® fund.

Advisory Fee(s)

Each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.

Each class of each fund pays FDS a monthly unitary management fee based on the fund’s average daily net assets of the class throughout the month, as set forth below. The differences among classes’ net expenses are the result of separate arrangements for class level services and/or waivers of certain expenses (if any). It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of a fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. Different fees and expenses will affect performance.

 

 

Fund   Management Fee Rate  
    Class A     Class M     Class C     Class I     Class Z  
Fidelity® Macro Opportunities Fund     0.80%       0.80%       0.80%       0.80%       0.75%  
Fidelity® Risk Parity Fund     0.60%       0.60%       0.60%       0.60%       0.55%  

 

The Adviser pays FMR UK, FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for each fund will be included in each fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2022, when available.

From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while retaining the ability to be repaid if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.

Fund Distribution

Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes each class’s shares.

Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of class shares, including compensation for

providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses for Class Z shares. This compensation may take the form of (as applicable):

• Sales charges and concessions (not applicable to Class I and Class Z shares).

• Distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (not applicable to Class I and Class Z shares).

• Finder’s fees (not applicable to Class C, Class I, and Class Z shares).

• Payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services.

• Payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by Fidelity, or by an intermediary.

These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

You may pay a sales charge when you buy or sell your Class A, Class M, and Class C shares.

FDC collects the sales charge.

As described in detail in this section, you may be entitled to a waiver of your

sales charge, or to pay a reduced sales charge, when you buy or sell Class A, Class M, and Class C shares. In the event of changes in sales charges, sales charges, if any, in effect at the time of purchase generally will apply.

The availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts may depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from a fund or through an intermediary. Intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or CDSC (back-end) waivers. Please see “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermediaries” in the “Appendix” section of the prospectus. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify a fund or the purchaser’s intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase fund shares directly from a fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.

The front-end sales charge will be reduced for purchases of Class A and Class M shares according to the sales charge schedules below.

Investments in Class M shares of $1 million or more may, upon redemption less than one year after purchase, for any reason, be assessed a CDSC of 0.25%. The actual CDSC you pay may be higher or lower than that calculated using this percentage due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class’s NAV.

When exchanging Class M shares of one fund for Class M shares of another Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or Advisor M Class shares of Fidelity® Government Money Market Fund, your Class M shares retain the CDSC schedule in effect when they were originally bought.

Class A or Class M shares purchased by an individual or company through the Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, or Letter of Intent program may receive a reduced front-end sales charge according to the sales charge schedules above. To qualify for a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction under one of these programs, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase.

Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent Programs. The following qualify as an “individual” or “company” for the purposes of determining eligibility for the Combined Purchase and Rights of Accumulation program: an individual, spouse, and their children under age 21 purchasing for his/her or their own account; a trustee, administrator, or other fiduciary purchasing for a single

trust estate or a single fiduciary account or for a single or parent-subsidiary group of “employee benefit plans” (except SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)) and 403(b) programs; and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code). The following qualify as an “individual” or “company” for the purposes of determining eligibility for the Letter of Intent program: an individual, spouse, and their children under age 21 purchasing for his/her or their own account; a trustee, administrator, or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary account (except SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)); an IRA or plans covering sole-proprietors (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans); plans investing through the Fidelity Advisor® 403(b) program; and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code).

Combined Purchase. To receive a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction, if you are a new shareholder, you may combine your purchase of Class A or Class M shares with purchases of: (i) Class A, Class M, and Class C shares of any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund, and (iii) Class A Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and

 

 

Prospectus   48  


 

 

Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor® 529 Plan. Purchases may be aggregated across multiple intermediaries on the same day for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program.

Rights of Accumulation. To receive a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction, if you are an existing shareholder, you may add to your purchase of Class A or Class M shares the current value of your holdings in: (i) Class A, Class M, and Class C shares of any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund, (iii) Daily Money Class shares of a fund that offers Daily Money Class shares acquired by exchange from any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iv) Class O shares of Fidelity Advisor® Diversified Stock Fund and Fidelity Advisor® Capital Development Fund, and (v) Class A Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor® 529 Plan. The current value of your holdings is determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day prior to your purchase of Class A or Class M shares. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A or Class M shares for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program. Purchases and holdings may be aggregated across multiple intermediaries for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program.

Letter of Intent. You may receive a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction on your purchases of

Class A and Class M shares made during a 13-month period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). File your Letter with Fidelity no later than the date of the initial purchase toward completing your Letter. Each Class A or Class M purchase you make toward completing your Letter will be entitled to the reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. Purchases of the following may be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter: (i) Class A and Class M shares of any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares (except those acquired by exchange from Daily Money Class shares of a fund that offers Daily Money Class shares that had been previously exchanged from a Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares), (ii) Class C shares of any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iii) Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund, and (iv) Class A Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor® 529 Plan. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will not be considered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter. Purchases may be aggregated across multiple intermediaries for the purpose of qualifying for the Letter of Intent program. Your initial purchase toward completing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or Class M shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow.

 

 

  49   Prospectus


Fund Services – continued

 

You will earn income, dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed Class A and Class M shares. The escrow will be released when you complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter. If you do not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased front-end sales charges due in accordance with the sales charge schedule in effect when your shares were originally bought. Fidelity may redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class M shares to pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales charge will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of additional Class A or Class M shares at the then-current offering price applicable to the total investment.

Detailed information about these programs also is available on institutional.fidelity.com. In order to obtain the benefit of a front-end sales charge reduction for which you may be eligible, you may need to inform your investment professional of other accounts you, your spouse, or your children maintain with your investment professional or other investment professionals from the same intermediary.

Class C shares may, upon redemption less than one year after purchase, for any reason, be assessed a CDSC of 1.00%. The actual CDSC you pay may

be higher or lower than that calculated using this percentage due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class’s NAV.

Investment professionals will receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of the sale, a concession equal to 1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares. A concession will not apply to Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions.

The CDSC for Class A, Class M, and Class C shares will be calculated based on the lesser of the cost of each class’s shares, as applicable, at the initial date of purchase or the value of those shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Class A, Class M, and Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by those shares that have been held for the longest period of time.

A front-end sales charge will not apply to the following Class A or Class M shares:

1. Purchased for an employee benefit plan other than a plan investing through the Fidelity Advisor® 403(b) program. For this purpose, employee benefit plans generally include 401(a), 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) governmental plans, but do not include:

5. Purchased with any proceeds of a distribution from a Fidelity® recordkept employee benefit plan (as described in waiver number 1 above, including the Fidelity Advisor® 403(b) program) that is rolled directly into a Fidelity Advisor® IRA for which Fidelity Management Trust Company or an affiliate serves as custodian.

Information on sales charge reductions and waivers is available free of charge on institutional.fidelity.com.

Finder’s Fees. Finder’s fees may be paid to investment professionals who sell Class A and Class M shares in purchase amounts of $1 million or more. For Class A share purchases, investment professionals may be compensated at the time of purchase with a finder’s fee at the rate of 1.00% of the purchase amount for purchases of $1 million up to $4 million, 0.50% of the purchase amount for purchases of $4 million up to $25 million, and 0.25% of the purchase amount for purchases of $25 million or more. For Class M share purchases, investment professionals may be compensated at

the time of purchase with a finder’s fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount.

Investment professionals may be eligible for a finder’s fee on the following purchases of Class A and Class M shares made through broker-dealers and banks: a trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor, including a 403(b) program or an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)), over $1 million; a trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $1 million or more; and an incremental trade toward an investor’s $1 million Letter. Accumulated account value for purposes of finder’s fees eligibility is determined the same as it is for Rights of Accumulation. Daily Money Class shares of a fund that offers Daily Money Class shares are not counted for this purpose unless acquired by exchange from any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares. For information, see “Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent Programs” above.

Finder’s fees are not paid in connection with purchases of Class A or Class M shares by insurance company separate accounts or managed account programs that charge an asset-based fee, or purchases of Class A or Class M shares made with the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidelity® fund or any retirement plan recordkept at Fidelity.

Investment professionals should contact Fidelity in advance to determine if they qualify to receive a finder’s fee.

Investment professionals should contact Fidelity for more information.

Reinstatement Privilege. If you have sold all or part of your Class A, Class M, or Class C shares of a fund, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption proceeds in the same class of the fund or another Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, at the NAV next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on shares will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class A, Class M, or Class C shares, as applicable.

You must reinstate your shares into an account with the same registration. This privilege may be exercised only once by a shareholder with respect to the fund and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A, Class M, or Class C shares had not been redeemed. To qualify for the reinstatement privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your reinvestment.

Distribution and Service Plan(s)

Class A has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class A is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class A may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of Class A’s average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class A shareholders to do so.

In addition, pursuant to the Class A plan, Class A pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class A’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

Except as provided below, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services. For purchases of Class A shares on which a finder’s fee was paid to intermediaries, after the first year of investment, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (service) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

Class M has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class M is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class M shares. Class M may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Class M currently pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets throughout the month. Class M’s 12b-1 (distribution) fee rate may be increased only when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class M shareholders to do so.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (distribution) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class M shares.

In addition, pursuant to the Class M plan, Class M pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class M’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

compensation for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares. Class C may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Class C currently pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of its average net assets throughout the month. Class C’s 12b-1 (distribution) fee rate may be increased only when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class C shareholders to do so.

In addition, pursuant to the Class C plan, Class C pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class C’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

Normally, after the first year of investment, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (distribution) fees to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

For purchases of Class C shares made through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions, during the first year of investment and thereafter, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (distribution) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to

the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

Any fees paid out of Class A’s, Class M’s, and Class C’s assets on an ongoing basis pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

In addition to the above payments, each Class A, Class M, and Class C plan specifically recognizes that the Adviser may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class M, and Class C shares and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC or one or more affiliates, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Class A, Class M, and Class C.

Each of Class I and Class Z of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class I and Class Z shares and/or shareholder support services. The

Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Class I and Class Z

If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under Class I’s and Class Z’s Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Class I’s and Class Z’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”)

Policies Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones

The following information has been provided by Edward Jones:

The following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also

 

 

  59   Prospectus


Appendix – continued

 

referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of the fund family, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.

Breakpoints

• Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.

Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”):

• The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of the mutual fund family held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on

another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.

• The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.

• ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).

Letter of Intent (“LOI”):

• Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder

 

 

Prospectus   60  


 

 

notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Sales Charge Waivers:

Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:

• Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones’ policies and procedures.

• Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.

• Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.

• Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days

of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.

• Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

• Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

CDSC Waivers:

If the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:

• The death or disability of the shareholder.

• Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value.

• Return of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

• Shares sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts if the redemption is taken in or after the year the shareholder reaches qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations.
