Credit ratings for a rated issuer or security are categorized using Moody's Investors Service (Moody's). If Moody's does not publish a rating for a security
or issuer, then the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) rating is used. When S&P and Moody's provide different ratings for the same issuer or
security, the Moody's rating is used. Securities that are not rated by these NRSROs (e.g. equity securities) are categorized as Not Rated. All U.S.
government securities are included in the U.S. Government category. The table information is based on the combined investments of the fund and its
pro-rata share of any investments in other Fidelity funds.

FUND RISKS
Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can
decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political,
regulatory, market, or economic developments. Fixed income
investments entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices
usually fall), the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk and inflation
risk. Lower-quality bonds can be more volatile and have greater risk
of default than higher-quality bonds. Foreign securities are subject to
interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks.

the fund's primary benchmark (index) unless a secondary benchmark
is provided to assess performance.
