MUTUAL FUNDS

Your clients could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Fidelity Investments and its affiliates, the fund's sponsor, have no legal obligation to provide financial support to money market funds and you and your clients should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

Before investing, you and your clients should consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.

Variable annuities
