3 Fixed Income Analysis Report Overview Unless otherwise specifically stated, all position holdings data, including account balances, are gathered from brokerage accounts that you own, as well as authorized accounts and position holdings held outside of Fidelity you have identified for analysis.

This report does not include any positions you identified as hypothetical. This report should not be substituted for, or considered, your account statement and is provided for educational purposes only. You should not rely on this report as the primary basis for your investment or tax-planning decisions. Please consult your most recent Fidelity account statement for information regarding your account balances, positions, and transactions. Fidelity reports data as of the most recent closing price.

4 Bond & CD Positions Overview The table included on the following pages displays bond and CD positions held at Fidelity and outside positions sorted by maturity. Additional information in the table includes applicable call dates, Moody s and S&P ratings, acquisition information for open lots, adjusted cost basis, and duration. The value of your holdings in your accounts may change from day to day, and you should always ensure that you have the most up-to-date information before investing. Fidelity reports data as of the most recent closing price. Fidelity is not able to verify the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the position data reflected for positions that are held outside of Fidelity. In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. If there are any terms referenced in this analysis that are unfamiliar to you, please refer to the Glossary of Terms at the end of this report. For additional information, visit the Fixed Income Analysis Help/Glossary at Fidelity.com. IMPORTANT: If you have any unsettled trades pending in any of the accounts identified for analysis as of the date this report was generated, account balances, holdings data and analytical information presented in this report may be materially impacted and, depending on the size and scope of such unsettled trades, rendered unreliable.
