Fidelity Event Driven Opportunities Fund Key Takeaways The fund returned -1.89% for the 12 months ending April 30, 2016, trailing the -0.18% result of the benchmark Russell 3000 Index. Versus the benchmark, stock selection hurt the fund's performance, as did the fund's inherent small-cap bias, as smallcaps lagged their large-cap peers this period. Among individual stocks, Canada-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals International was the largest detractor versus the benchmark, while a large stake in Journal Media Group was the fund's most significant contributor. Despite the underperformance this period, Portfolio Manager Arvind Navaratnam remains focused on the long term. He believes investments in firms engaged in corporate actions will outperform the market over time. MARKET RECAP The S&P 500 index gained 1.21% for the 12 months ending April 30, 2016. Largely range-bound until mid-august, U.S. stocks suffered a steep, latesummer decline on concern about an economic slowdown in China. The market recovered in October, lifted by the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to delay raising near-term interest rates until mid-december, as well as a rate cut in China and economic stimulus in Europe. But continued oil-price weakness and U.S.-dollar strength pushed the S&P 500 to its worst January since 2009, followed by a volatile but ultimately flattish February, then a sharp rebound in March driven by U.S. jobs gains and perceived softening in the Fed's rate-tightening posture. April brought minimal change. For the full period, growth-oriented and larger-cap stocks fared better overall than value and smaller-cap complements. Performance was split, as five of 10 S&P 500 sectors gained ground, with a wide gap separating leaders from laggards. Investor demand for more-stable and higher-yielding investments boosted traditionally defensive, dividend-rich groups such as utilities (+14%), telecommunication services (+10%) and consumer staples (+11%) the latter also buoyed by rising wages and low inflation. Meanwhile, energy (-14%) foundered amid commodity weakness that also hurt materials (-4%). Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee
Q&A An interview with Portfolio Manager Arvind Navaratnam Fund Facts Trading Symbol: Arvind Navaratnam Portfolio Manager FARNX Start Date: December 12, 2013 Size (in millions): $168.84 Investment Approach Fidelity Event Driven Opportunities Fund invests opportunistically in companies involved in corporate actions that can result in a mispricing of their stocks or other underlying securities. Historically, such securities have offered attractive returns over time and lower return correlations to the broad equity market. Event-driven securities often experience forced selling, and tend to have scarce research coverage and/or misunderstood business models, offering favorable entry points to invest in a potentially less-efficient area of the market. We believe that bottom-up, fundamental research and a disciplined, patient, opportunistic approach are the best means by which to identify and exploit these inefficiencies over time. By investing in these securities, we seek to outperform the Russell 3000 Index over a normal market cycle, with lower correlation. In managing the fund, we invest with a long-term time horizon and expect that short-term returns may be volatile. Q: Arvind, how did the fund perform for the 12 months ending April 30, 2016 The fund underperformed its benchmark this year, as the inherently idiosyncratic nature of the corporate events in which we are invested largely did not unfold in our favor. In addition, the fund's small-cap bias hurt this period as largecap peers, which dominate the fund's benchmark, outperformed. Results were better versus our peer average. The fund's performance the past year was in the top 20% among the 768 funds in the Morningstar Small Blend Category. Q: What is event-driven investing, and how do you manage the fund Event-driven investing offers disciplined, patient investors an opportunity to take advantage of mispriced securities that can result from spinoffs, bankruptcy restructurings and other special situations. Often these corporate actions are accompanied by limited research coverage and forced selling pressure, which I believe can increase the probability of investment success. In the case of an index delisting, for example, passive capital following the index is forced to exit the security without regard to the intrinsic value of the business. These are the types of environments to which I gravitate. I start by identifying situations that can lead to a security being mispriced, and then I begin the analytical work: examining a company's upside and downside scenarios, with a focus on its downside and the stock's risk/reward profile. I get interested if there's a big disconnect between where a stock is trading today and what I think is the fundamental future value of that business a few years down the road. I concentrate the fund's capital on our best ideas where I believe there is strong potential return and limited likelihood of a permanent loss of capital. Q: What are some attributes of the fund Because of the forced selling pressure unique to corporate events, the fund's return stream is meaningfully less correlated with the market than many other equity mutual 2 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.
funds, regardless of economic conditions. Additionally, the fund typically has very high active share, meaning its composition differs meaningfully from the Russell 3000 Index. This index typically represents about 98% of the U.S. equity market. Since we are shopping in the rarefied universe of corporate actions, which, again, occur independent of the index's sector or size, many investment opportunities are outside of the benchmark. Q: Which individual holdings disappointed most the past 12 months Our stake in Canada-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals International was the fund's largest detractor versus the benchmark. The firm's rapid growth of the past few years was predicated on its management team's aggressive acquisition strategy. Unfortunately for the fund, the stock underperformed during the period, as shares of Valeant tumbled in October after short-selling research firm Citron accused Valeant of filing fake invoices with one of its business partners in order to show increased revenue. Then, in mid-march, the firm said it may default on its debt and will not meet earnings targets. Valeant also announced an accounting error that it said would likely lead to financial restatements. Despite the stock's poor performance, I continued to view Valeant as cheap on a price-to-earnings basis given the firm's organic growth and its returns on capital with strong assets it can potentially sell. I also remained confident in Valeant's growth prospects over time, so I held on to our position. Another disappointment was technology storage and data protection firm Quantum. Quantum shares slid in July after the firm warned of lower-than-expected revenue for its fiscal first quarter, relative to its previous forecast. The firm also reported lower-than-expected revenue due to general weakness in the tech storage market. The stock continued to fall, tumbling further in January after Quantum reported third-quarter revenue slightly below guidance and a yearover-year decline in its top-line growth. However, the company's next-generation product appeared to be growing nicely and I was attracted to the stock's low valuation multiple, so I added to the fund's stake in early 2016. Q: What else influenced the fund's result Among individual stocks, the fund's large stake in Journal Media Group was by far its biggest contributor. In March 2015, E.W. Scripps and Journal Communications Media announced their intent to merge the two firms' broadcast assets and spin off both of their newspaper businesses into one company, Journal Media. Journal produces local newspapers in 14 markets across the United States. I continued to find Journal Media's small-cap business attractive, as it had no debt, low capital expenditures, and high book value relative to the share price. Additionally, the firm owned a large amount of real estate and has vast opportunities for cost-cutting, and I thought its cash flow was dramatically understated. Thus, I continued to build on the fund's position, making Journal Media easily our largest holding this period. This stance helped when the stock popped in October after media firm Gannett announced it would acquire Journal at a premium. In March, Journal Media shareholders approved the deal, which was completed in April. The fund's stake in Gannett also was a contributor. I established this position in July after Gannett spun off its publishing business, which retained its name, and created TEGNA, which operates television stations and websites, including Cars.com and Career Builder. Gannett is the largest publisher of newspapers in the United States. Q: Where else did you find success A sizable stake in tobacco-leaf producer Universal was a notable positive. I found Universal attractive due to its low stock valuation, which we thought would improve as the industry's supply/demand cycle normalized. I began building a stake late in 2014, and it was the fund's largest position by the end of April 2016. Despite a drop in August, the stock rebounded and advanced 20% for the full period. Q: Any final thoughts for shareholders I want to emphasize that my main goal is to deliver strong returns with lower correlation over long periods of time. I think it's important to remember that the fund's investment strategy is geared toward a long-term investment horizon. Although past performance is no guarantee of results, the corporate actions in which the fund typically invests historically have produced meaningful market-beating results over a full market cycle. Thus, I remain patient in the short term, focusing on making investments I think can produce value over the long term. And as a fellow shareholder with a significant personal investment in the strategy, I'm proud to say that we're in this together. 3 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.
LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK Arvind Navaratnam on how he seeks to manage risk: "Risk monitoring is a key component of my investment strategy. One of the ways I keep an eye on risk is by studying my mistakes, along with those of very successful special-situations investors, to better recognize and, hopefully, escape the patterns that may lead to errors over time. By examining permanent capital losses and what led to them, I have built a checklist that, combined with some hard-won experience, I think may help me limit errors over time and thus better serve fund shareholders. "From a portfolio construction standpoint, I diversify the fund across event types and, importantly, only invest post-event, meaning I do not guess as to which events will occur. Investing in a corporate action after the fact may result in less upside, but I think it creates less uncertainty a tradeoff I find prudent. Additionally, I only invest in names in which I have very high conviction. These are companies that have earned my confidence and where I've done the legwork talking to their customers, suppliers and competitors and where I believe Fidelity has a strong research edge. "The fund can invest up to 20% of assets in foreign securities and up to 10% in debt instruments. And while the fund imposes no limitation on size categories, I typically don't invest in firms that fall below a market capitalization of $300 million. "I do look for opportunities in certain non-u.s. developed markets. Yet at period end, I feel less certain about many of those potential investments. It is much easier for me to meet with U.S.-based firms, and I tend to find financial transparency here." Holding Journal Media Group, Inc.

Definitions and Important Information FUND RISKS Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. The value of securities in companies involved in a special situation event can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks, and can be more volatile than that of other issuers. 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. The fund may have additional volatility because it can invest a significant portion of assets in securities of a small number of individual issuers. charges.
