1 Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service Professional investment management designed to help you meet your financial goals

2 Let our professionals take the weight of investing off your shoulders. Opening a Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service account can be a liberating decision given today s fast-paced and ever-changing investment world. Our managed account offering may be a smart solution for busy investors who do not have the time, expertise, or resources necessary to manage their assets on a full-time basis. You can relax knowing that you are in an enhanced relationship with Fidelity, where we will continually manage and monitor your investments to align with your personal goals. We get to know you by taking the time to understand your unique financial needs and goals including your time horizon, tolerance for risk, and overall financial health based on the information you provide in your detailed Investor Profile Questionnaire. We then use this knowledge as a blueprint for building your investment strategy. Your investment manager will be Fidelity s Advisers, Inc. ( Advisers) a registered investment adviser and a Fidelity Investments company who will actively research and select what they believe are the best investment managers and investments for your account. In short, a Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service managed account puts our depth of knowledge, investment experience, and vast resources to work for you throughout your investing life. At Fidelity, nothing matters more to us than your trust. We seek to provide highquality, lower-cost investment solutions to help you reach your investing goals.

3 We develop a plan to help you meet your unique investing goals A model portfolio for your needs Once your overall financial situation has been evaluated, Advisers will propose a long-term asset allocation investment strategy and a thoughtfully constructed model portfolio of mutual funds aligned to a specific risk profile. As illustrated in the hypothetical chart below, the model portfolio to which your investments will be aligned will be made up of a mix of asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and short-term investments such as money markets. However, the asset allocation strategy does not stop there. The investment team diversifies beyond these major asset classes by investing in extended asset classes such as commodities, real estate, high-yield bonds, emerging market stocks, and non-u.s. bonds, as well as alternative investments, if deemed appropriate. These types of investments are designed to help improve portfolio diversification, while seeking to minimize overall volatility. HYPOTHETICAL MODEL PORTFOLIO: Growth with Income SHORT-TERM FOREIGN STOCK DOMESTIC STOCK BONDS This chart is for illustrative purposes only. Your proposed investment strategy may be different. To see how we d invest your account, complete an Investor Profile Questionnaire in person or online at Fidelity.com/pas/IPQ. Contact your Fidelity representative with questions.

4 How we work to help manage risk We believe diversification helps reduce portfolio risk We believe a properly diversified model portfolio requires multiple layers of research. That s why we delve even deeper and break the major and extended asset classes down into smaller investable pieces. To do this, we research any sub asset classes that may make sense for the model portfolio. For example, within the stock asset class, we may decide to incorporate large-cap growth or small-cap value assets into the mix and delve deeper into certain styles, sectors, regions, and market capitalization. Doing so brings much more diversification into the portfolio and helps reduce overall risk should a particular asset class, style, or sector fall out of favor at any given time. Once this research is complete, the investments are selected for the model portfolio. Asset Allocation that extends beyond major asset classes MARKET CAPITALIZATION: Large Cap Mid Cap Small Cap DURATION: Short-term Mid-term Long-term STYLE: Growth Value Core FOREIGN STOCK SHORT-TERM CREDIT QUALITY: Investment Grade High Yield SECTOR: Energy Health Care Utilities, etc. DOMESTIC STOCK BONDS SECTOR: U.S. Government Mortgage U.S. Credit, etc. REGION: Developed Emerging REGION: Domestic Foreign This chart is for illustrative purposes only. Your investment strategy may be different. Contact your Fidelity representative with questions. Duration measures the sensitivity of a bond s price to a change in interest rates and is typically expressed in terms of years. Asset allocation and/or diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.

5 Benefit from our experience. call Funds: Exclusive investments designed for the model portfolio to help you reach your investing goals How Funds fit into the model portfolio In most cases, the Advisers Funds will serve as the key building blocks for the model portfolio. These exclusive funds are available only to Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service clients and are structured so that they may include underlying Fidelity and non-fidelity mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), 1 as well as individual securities managed by Fidelity and non-fidelity sub-advisers. 2 These funds are specifically designed to give our clients greater exposure to a wider universe of investments. They also allow for a more streamlined portfolio and greater access to institutional pricing. We believe that Advisers Funds also give the portfolio managers more flexibility, which may help them invest more adeptly throughout the market cycle, and potentially allow for better risk management for our clients. Funds LINEUP SHORT- TERM BONDS STOCK: Domestic STOCK: Foreign Investment Emerging Grade High Yield Value Blend Growth Developed Markets Short Duration Fund Core Income Fund Income Opportunities Fund Value Fund Core Fund Growth Fund Small-Mid Cap Fund International Fund Emerging Markets Fund International II Fund 3 As you can see in the chart above, there are 10 Advisers Funds, ranging from the conservative Short Duration Fund to the more aggressive Growth, International, and Emerging Markets Funds. Please refer to your Investment Proposal or speak with a Fidelity representative about your proposed asset allocation strategy, and for a complete listing of the funds contained in the model portfolio with which your investments are aligned. 1 An ETF is similar to a mutual fund in structure, but trades like a stock. The Advisers Funds can invest in ETFs which may trade at a discount to their NAV. 2 Please note, not all of the Advisers Funds have retained sub-advisers. 3 This Advisers Fund is only available to clients who select an all Fidelity Fund option.

6 Funds Advisers Funds: Two distinct investment approaches The Advisers Funds utilize one of two distinct investment approaches a fund of funds or a multi-manager fund. As the diagram below shows, a fund of funds will invest in mutual funds and/or ETFs, whereas in a multi-manager fund, Advisers may also hire managers as sub-advisers. two distinct investment approaches Fund of funds multi-manager FUND Mutual Fund E Mutual Fund D Mutual Fund C ETFs Mutual Fund A Mutual Fund B ETFs Mutual Fund B Mutual Fund A Sub-Adviser A Individual Securities Sub-Adviser B Individual Securities Sub-Adviser C Individual Securities Chart is for illustrative purposes. Certain Advisers Funds have not hired sub-advisers and will remain funds of funds for the foreseeable future. Derivatives may or may not be held. For more information on the investment strategies employed by the Advisers Funds, please review the prospectuses for the Funds. You may also obtain fund information, including a full list of holdings, on Fidelity.com. Why Advisers uses a variety of managers Advisers believes providing our clients access to the many diverse talents of investment managers both within and outside Fidelity is a true value-added benefit. Being able to utilize the distinctive skills of some of the best minds in the business whether they work at Fidelity or at another financial services firm not only brings additional investment diversification to the model portfolios, but may also give our portfolio managers more flexibility. We refer to managers for the Advisers Funds as: the underlying mutual fund or ETF that the Funds invest in, or the sub-adviser(s) who manages a portion of the Fund s assets and is hired to manage them according to a set investment mandate as outlined by Advisers. This means Advisers dictates and outlines how the sub-adviser will manage the Fund s assets for which they are responsible. In both cases, however, the Advisers portfolio manager continues to oversee and manage the overall fund.

7 Benefit from our experience. call Funds How are the Advisers Funds managed? Each Advisers Fund is managed by a portfolio manager at Advisers who is responsible for allocating the fund s assets so that they stay in line with the fund s investment mandate, and for monitoring sub-advisers and underlying mutual funds. strategic advisers portfolio manager: Manages Selects Oversees Monitors the Advisers Fund managers sub-advisers underlying funds managers perform the following tasks.

For more information on the investment strategies employed by the Advisers Funds, please review the prospectuses for the Funds. You may also obtain fund information, including a full list of holdings, on Fidelity.com.

8 Funds The benefits of sub-advisers within the Funds We believe there are several potential investor benefits associated with using sub-advisers within a Advisers Fund. Daily monitoring of sub-advisers: Advisers close-knit relationships with sub-advisers allow our portfolio managers to identify changes in portfolio holdings on a daily basis. This is a key differentiator from investments in mutual funds, which typically report holdings and positioning data on a monthly basis. Because our portfolio managers have access to daily, real-time Fund information, they have the ability to ask a sub-adviser about his or her reasoning behind any trade decision, and how recent market events may have impacted his or her approach. We believe that being highly informed about sub-adviser activities puts us in a better position to help manage the overall risk level of the Funds. Institutional pricing: We constantly strive for the best value possible for our clients. We attempt to reduce client costs by leveraging our program s size and scale to negotiate competitive fees with sub-advisers. This is yet another potential benefit that is not an option when a fund invests in another mutual fund in which all fund shareholders generally pay the same fee. Typically, the fees we have negotiated with sub-advisers allow us to offer their strategies at levels not available to retail investors. Any fees paid to sub-advisers are paid out of the Funds management fee and do not create an additional layer of fees for our clients.* * As always, when Advisers, Inc., buys a mutual fund, the client pays an expense ratio set by the fund company. Please refer to each individual Fund prospectus for details on fees. Separate investment decisions and the resulting purchase and sale activities of the fund s sub-advisers might adversely affect the fund s performance or lead to disadvantageous tax consequences.

9 Benefit from our experience. call Sub-advisers receive an extra layer of oversight Why the due diligence process for sub-advisers differs from mutual funds Advisers has the flexibility to choose both mutual funds and sub-advisers for its Advisers Funds. However, there are some key differences between a fund owning mutual funds and engaging with a sub-adviser to run a specific investment mandate. When it comes to purchasing mutual funds for the model portfolios, the Advisers Funds must abide by the ownership limitations as governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). This law sets strict standards to which mutual fund investments must adhere and which a given fund s Board of Trustees must oversee. Before we hire a sub-adviser for a Fund, however, we take it upon ourselves to perform an extra layer of due diligence to help ensure that they are not only complying with the 1940 Act requirements that apply to the mutual funds they manage, but that they meet our own strict standards for working with an outside firm. To do this, we engage in a diligent research and monitoring process to better understand the firm and the manager we want to hire. This process includes peeling back the layers of the firm s operational infrastructure, its policies and procedures, compliance standards, and much more, so that we have as much transparency into the firm and manager as possible. Additionally, the Fund s board of trustees must approve the hiring of the sub-adviser and the associated contract.

10 How we oversee your managed account and keep your goals in perspective We believe active, strategic oversight is critical We believe in adhering to a disciplined investment approach, no matter how positive or challenging market conditions may become along the way. This means we actively and strategically monitor and respond to fundamental market shifts, as appropriate, and regularly review and rebalance the model portfolio over time to help ensure that it stays on track with its long-term asset allocation strategy. Although we seek to keep the major mix of assets aligned with the risk level of the model portfolio, market volatility may occasionally prompt us to make tactical shifts in its asset allocation to help avoid excessive exposure to losses and help reduce overall risk. Such strategies may include the use of extended or alternative asset classes. We actively evaluate your holdings by employing two key strategies: Reallocating: This means we modify the overall model portfolio, as needed, by reducing or increasing existing positions, incorporating new asset classes, or introducing new managers into the Funds. Reallocation may take place due to overall portfolio exposure, fund performance, or particular market opportunities. Rebalancing: We believe in regularly rebalancing the model portfolio to which your investments are aligned to keep it in line with its long-term asset allocation strategy. This means we adjust the weightings by trimming or adding positions of different types of funds across and within asset classes to compensate for changes created by any given market action. Making these adjustments helps us bring the model portfolio back in line with its original strategy and helps control volatility. If asset classes were left untended, it could greatly increase overall risk by leaving the model portfolio overexposed in one or more areas. Additionally, we may sell assets when their value has risen so much that they alter the percentage of asset classes in the portfolio. Likewise, we may purchase assets when their value drops, in order to bring the asset allocation back in line with the original strategy. Diversification and/or asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

(SAI), uses them as building blocks to construct the proper asset allocation for your managed portfolio. They allow SAI to hire (and fire) sub-advisers as well as to buy, sell, and hold mutual funds and exchangetraded funds (ETFs) within the fund. Who are sub-advisers and what do they do? Sub-advisers are professional money managers. As listed in this report, the Advisers Funds can engage both Fidelity and non-fidelity managers as sub-advisers. These investment professionals are selected by SAI to manage a portion of the mutual fund s assets consistent with a specific investment mandate or area of expertise. The sub-advisers make the day-today investment decisions for the portion of the fund they manage. How do I benefit? You benefit from SAI s ability to choose from an expanded group of money managers some of whom were previously available only to large institutional investors, and take advantage of Fidelity s scale to provide the potential for improved pricing relative to other retail investors. The expertise provided by SAI s Research team drives investment selection for the firm s managed accounts. How does SAI manage these funds within your overall portfolio? SAI continues to select the most appropriate money managers and investment vehicles within each of these funds. SAI also continues to determine the appropriate mix or allocation of assets within the model portfolio. SAI s proprietary process defines its own investment style categories to seek diversification and a performance edge. The Portfolio Manager at SAI manages each Advisers Fund by allocating the fund s assets among Fidelity and non-fidelity sub-advisers, mutual funds, and ETFs. When it hires a sub-adviser, SAI provides ongoing oversight of the sub-adviser s activities. They also allocate assets across the various Advisers Funds within your model portfolio. This will be done according to your recommended investment strategy, and the allocation may change over time. Each Analyst adds value by identifying managers with consistent strategies and style discipline. A key element of the process is SAI s ongoing, face-to-face interaction with Investment Managers. Investors today face an overwhelming array of investment choices. Selecting among them to create a properly diversified portfolio requires time, experience, and a proven approach for assessing both consistency and performance. This Perspective describes the proprietary process that the Fundamental Research team at Fidelity s Advisers, Inc. (SAI), Fidelity s registered investment adviser, follows to identify and monitor the investment choices they recommend to the SAI Portfolio Management team.1 Introduction It s one thing to recognize the value of diversifying an investment portfolio to achieve a balance of risk and return. It s quite another to narrow down thousands of available choices to arrive at the right combination of securities for use in SAI s investment strategies that reflect different investor time frames, risk tolerances, and goals. The investment professionals at SAI are focused entirely on making these decisions for our clients. The Portfolio Managers at SAI make the investment selections and construct the portfolios.
