The following information replaces similar information found in the "Fund Management" section under the "Advisory Fee(s)" heading.
Each class of the fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
When determining a class's management fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once the fund's monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class.
The annual management fee rate for the class of shares of the fund offered through this prospectus is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's
discount rate (if applicable) or (2) 0.47%. One-twelfth of the management fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the management fee for the class for that month.
A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class.
