Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate; therefore, you may have a
gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance stated. Performance shown is that of the
fund's Retail Class shares (if multiclass). You may own another share class of the fund with a different expense structure and, thus, have different
returns. To learn more or to obtain the most recent month-end or other share-class performance, visit fidelity.com/performance,
