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

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

Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC, Member NYSE, SIPC and/or Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc., distribute fixed and variable insurance products issued by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company, Empire Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company, New York, NY, and certain third party insurance companies, which are not affiliated with Fidelity Investments.

INFORMATION FOR OFFSHORE USERS

The Fidelity Sites are intended to be made available only to persons in the United States, and the information on the Fidelity Sites is only for such persons. Nothing on the Fidelity Sites shall be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell a security, or any other product or service, to any person in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction.

BROKER-DEALER'S POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

As a broker-dealer, either National Financial Services LLC, or Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC, both members NYSE, SIPC, or their affiliates may act as principal for their own account or as agent for their customers in connection with the sale to you or purchase by you of a security that is the subject of content prepared by Fidelity. If the company receives a mark-up or commission or acts as agent for another person in connection with any such transaction, Fidelity may have a potential conflict of interest. You understand this potential conflict and acknowledge that you may choose to effect securities transactions at another broker/dealer.

NO INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

The Fidelity Sites are not intended to provide tax, legal, investment or insurance advice. Nothing on the Fidelity Sites should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security by Fidelity or any third party. Certain tools available on the Fidelity Sites may be deemed to provide general investment education within the meaning of the securities laws based upon your or your client's personalized input. You are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for your client based on its investment objectives and personal and financial situation and risk tolerance. You should consult a legal or tax professional regarding your client's specific legal or tax situation.
