What is a mutual fund?

– A mutual fund is an investment that pools together multiple stocks, bonds, and other securities

to perform as one investment.

– Mutual funds combine money from many investors and place the money in either stocks,

bonds, other securities, or a combination of the three. They are managed by a professional

portfolio manager who actively adjusts the funds' portfolio to try to increase their value.

For illustrative purposes only.

The purpose of the target asset mixes is to show how target asset mixes may be created with different risk and return characteristics to help meet a participant’s goals. You should choose your own investments based on your particular objectives and situation. Remember, you may change how your account is invested. Be sure to review your decisions periodically to make sure they are still consistent with your goals. You should also consider any investments you may have outside the plan when making your investment choices.

The target asset mixes presented in this publication were developed by Strategic Advisers, Inc., a registered investment adviser and Fidelity Investments company, based on the needs of a typical retirement plan participant. Strategic Advisoers, Inc., is adjusting its target asset mixes as of November 2009 to increase the percentage of international equity to 30% of the overall equity portion of each target asset mix.

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other

government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1

per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

This spectrum, with the exception of the Domestic Equity category, is based on Fidelity’s analysis of the characteristics of the general investment categories and not on the actual investment options and their holdings, which can change frequently. Investment options in the Domestic Equity category are based on the options’ Morningstar categories as of November 30, 2011. Morningstar categories are based on a fund’s style as measured by its underlying portfolio holdings over the past three years and may change at any time. These style categorizations do not represent the investment options’ objectives and do not predict the investment options’ future styles. Investment options are listed in alphabetical order within each investment category. Risk associated with the investment options can vary significantly within each particular investment category, and the relative risk of categories may change under certain economic conditions.

associated with the mutual fund options, please read the prospectuses before making your investment decision.

Target date investments are represented on a separate spectrum because they are generally designed for investors

expecting to retire around the year indicated in each investment's name. The investments are managed to gradually

become more conservative over time. The investment risks of each target date investment change over time as its asset

allocation changes. They are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including equity and fixed income

investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, and

foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after their target dates.

Important Information

Before investing in any mutual fund, please carefully consider the investment

objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. For this and other information,

contact Fidelity for a free prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus.

Read it carefully before you invest.

Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate

over time, and you may gain or lose money.

Foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, involve greater risk and may offer greater potential

returns than U.S. investments. This risk includes political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well

as the risk of currency fluctuation.

Investments in mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than those in larger, more well known companies,

but may be less volatile than investments in smaller companies.

Investments in smaller companies may involve greater risks than those in larger, more well known companies.

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the

credit quality of the issuer.

Because of their narrow focus sector funds may be more volatile than funds that diversify across many sectors

3 1

Because of their narrow focus, sector funds may be more volatile than funds that diversify across many sectors.

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 and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike

individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by

holding them until maturity is not possible.
