 (b) Coupon rates for floating and adjustable rate securities reflect the rates in effect at period end.

 (c) Coupon is indexed to a floating interest rate which may be multiplied by a specified factor and/or subject to caps or floors.

 (d) Represents a forward settling transaction and therefore no collateral securities had been allocated as of period end. The agreement contemplated the delivery of U.S. Treasury Obligations as collateral on settlement date.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Series Government Money Market Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered only to certain other Fidelity funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or its affiliates. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Effective August 28, 2017, the Fund no longer offered Class F, and all outstanding shares of Class F were exchanged for shares of Series Government Money Market shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. Securities held by a money market fund are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value are not quoted prices in an active market.

Investment Transactions and Income. The net asset value per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $– 
Gross unrealized depreciation – 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $– 
Tax Cost $8,694,773,180 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $20,429 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $42,563,532 $ 3,429,389 

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. To enhance its yield, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase transactions under master repurchase agreements whereby the Fund sells securities to a counterparty in return for cash and agrees to repurchase those securities at a future date and agreed upon price. During the period that reverse repurchase transactions are outstanding, the Fund identifies the securities as pledged in its records with an initial value at least equal to its principal obligation under the agreement. The cash proceeds received by the Fund may be invested in other securities. To the extent cash proceeds received from the counterparty exceed the value of the securities sold, the counterparty may request additional collateral from the Fund. If the counterparty defaults on its obligation, because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities sold. Information regarding securities sold under a reverse repurchase agreement, if any, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments and the cash proceeds are recorded as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund continues to receive interest and dividend payments on the securities sold during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement. During the period, the average principal balance of reverse repurchase transactions was $12,226,698 and the weighted average interest rate was .26% with payments included in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest expense. At period end, there were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Effective June 1, 2017, under the management contract approved by the Board and shareholders, Fidelity Management & Research (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. In addition, the investment adviser pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.

Prior to June 1, 2017, the investment adviser and its affiliates provided the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund paid a monthly management fee that was based on an annual rate of .14% of the Fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. Effective June 1, 2017, fees for these services are no longer charged to the classes. Prior to June 1, 2017, FIIOC received transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .03% of average net assets for Series Government Money Market Fund. FIIOC received no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

For the period, transfer agent fees for each applicable class were as follows:

 Amount 
Series Government Money Market $671,332 

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Effective June 1, 2017, these fees are paid by the investment adviser or an affiliate.

Interfund Trades. The Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.

4. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses of each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through October 31, 2020. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

 Expense
Limitations(a) 
Expense
Limitations(b) 
Reimbursement 
Series Government Money Market .014% .14% $1,120,632 
Class F .014% .14% 510,075 
   $1,630,707 

 (a) Expense limitation effective June 1, 2017.

 (b) Expense limitation effective September 1, 2016.


In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $2,989.

5. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

 Year ended

7. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Series Government Money Market Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Series Government Money Market Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period April 22, 2016 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Series Government Money Market Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  The Operations Committee also worked and continues to work with FMR to enhance the stress tests required under SEC regulations for money market funds.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 Annualized Expense Ratio-A Beginning
Account Value
March 1, 2017 
Ending
Account Value
August 31, 2017 
Expenses Paid
During Period-B
March 1, 2017
to August 31, 2017 
Series Government Money Market .07%    
Actual  $1,000.00 $1,004.00 $.35-C 
Hypothetical-D  $1,000.00 $1,024.85 $.36-C 
     

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C If fees and changes to the Fund's expense contract and/or expense cap, effective June 1, 2017, had been in effect during the entire period, the restated annualized expense ratio would have been .00% and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $.00 and $.00, respectively.

 D 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 56.34% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Portfolio Manager Rob Galusza:  I think we did fairly well for shareholders by keeping the fund positioned in sectors where we have high conviction. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2017, the fund’s share classes returned about 0% to 1%. Most were roughly in line the 0.90% return of the benchmark, the Barclays U.S. 1–3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index. Spreads on corporate securities narrowed, driven in part by a strong technical backdrop. While the decline in spreads supported the performance of the corporate sector, it also made it more challenging to find attractive combinations of risk and return, particularly later in the period. In this environment, bond returns remained lackluster on an absolute basis, but the fund’s corporate holdings held up far better than Treasuries, which the fund underweighted. This positioning contributed to benchmark-relative performance. Within corporates, overweighting the bonds of financial institutions industrial companies added value. Conversely, picks in the energy and financials sectors hurt slightly. Positioning along the yield curve was another plus, as was the decision to hold asset-backed securities. However, not holding bonds of any sovereign governments slightly detracted.

 G Fees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

 H Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur.

Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M (formerly Class T), Class C, Short-Term Bond and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations, commercial paper, and other Short-Term securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, premium on debt securities, swaps, deferred trustees compensation, in-kind transactions, expiring capital loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $25,335 
Gross unrealized depreciation (16,907) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $8,428 
Tax Cost $6,133,864 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $1,724 
Capital loss carryforward $(142,198) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $8,428 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010(the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Fiscal year of expiration  
2018 $(142,198) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(142,198) 

The Fund intends to elect to defer to its next fiscal year $7,208 of capital losses recognized during the period November 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $71,099 $ 53,120 

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,650,412 and $2,188,411, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .31% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution
Fee 
Service
Fee 
Total Fees Retained
by FDC 
Class A -% .15% $289 $36 
Class M -% .15% 133 – 
Class C .75% .25% 765 73 
   $1,187 $109 

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50% for selling Class A and Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive a contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, .75% or .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained
by FDC 
Class A $23 
Class M 
Class C(a) 11 
 $36 

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.


Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund, with the exception of Short-Term Bond. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Short-Term Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of
Class-Level Average
Net Assets 
Class A $294 .15 
Class M 146 .16 
Class C 126 .16 
Short-Term Bond 5,598 .10 
Class I 659 .16 
 $6,823  

Fund Wide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fund Wide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), the investment adviser has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent Trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% of the Fund's average net assets less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent Trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .04% of average net assets.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $21 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $130.

8. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $18.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

 Year ended

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers Short Duration Fund was the owner of record of 12% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

12. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in structured securities of issuers backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults.

13. Prior Fiscal Year Merger Information.

On July 15, 2016, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund ("Target Fund") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees ("The Board"). The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of shares of the Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Target Fund at their respective net asset value on the acquisition date. In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced sale on July 12, 2016. The reorganization provides shareholders of the Target Fund access to a larger portfolio with a similar investment objective. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. The Target Fund's net assets of $914,521, including securities of $919,868 and unrealized appreciation of $1,475, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $5,787,826 for total net assets after the acquisition of $6,702,347.

Pro forma results of operations of the combined entity for the entire period ended August 31, 2016, as though the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the year (rather than on the actual acquisition date), are as follows:

Net Investment income (loss) $ 64,343 
Total net realized gain (loss) 13,516 
Total change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 30,114 
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations $107,973 

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the acquired fund that have been included in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations since July 15, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 13.40% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $ 41,236,462 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Manager Ford O'Neil:  For the fiscal year, the fund returned 1.45%, outpacing the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Our decision to significantly overweight investment-grade credit contributed strongly to the fund’s outperformance, especially our positioning among financial institutions. Here, selections within most areas of the sector –particularly in the banks, REITs (real estate investment trusts) and insurance segments – added value. Elsewhere in corporates, a modest overweighting in electric utility companies was helpful, while underweightings in certain industrial sectors, namely technology and basic industry, detracted. Outside of corporates, underweighting U.S. Treasuries and government-agency mortgage-backed securities helped relative performance, as did our decision to hold non-index, longer-maturity TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities). Also contributing was our larger-than-benchmark exposure to emerging-markets debt, led by holdings from Mexico and Brazil. Other contributors included overweightings in taxable municipal bonds from Chicago and Illinois. Out-of-benchmark holdings in high-yield bonds were another bright spot for the fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Series Investment Grade Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of the Fund are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as an investment manager. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Effective August 28, 2017, the Fund no longer offered Class F, and all outstanding shares of Class F were exchanged for shares of Series Investment Grade Bond shares.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from third party pricing vendors, registered derivatives clearing organizations (clearinghouses) or broker-supplied valuations. These pricing sources may utilize inputs such as interest rate curves, credit spread curves, default possibilities and recovery rates. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities and swaps may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities and swaps are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. The principal amount on inflation-indexed securities is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation and interest is accrued based on the principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to Interest in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, swaps, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $677,552,740 
Gross unrealized depreciation (134,503,833) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $543,048,907 
Tax Cost $26,080,638,976 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $50,274,322 
Undistributed long-term capital gain $12,176,721 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $541,065,375 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $681,422,185 $ 736,625,120 
Long-term Capital Gains 189,131,098 131,483,812 
Total $870,553,283 $ 868,108,932 

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Fund transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

To-Be-Announced (TBA) Securities and Mortgage Dollar Rolls. During the period, the Fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities (MBS) on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. The Fund may enter into a TBA transaction with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying MBS, or the Fund may elect to extend the settlement by entering into either a mortgage or reverse mortgage dollar roll. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions where a fund sells TBA securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase MBS on a later date at a lower price and with the same counterparty. Reverse mortgage dollar rolls involve the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell TBA securities on a later date at a lower price. Transactions in mortgage dollar rolls and reverse mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund's portfolio turnover rate.

Purchases and sales of TBA securities involve risks similar to those discussed above for delayed delivery and when-issued securities. Also, if the counterparty in a mortgage dollar roll or a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Additionally, when a fund sells TBA securities without already owning or having the right to obtain the deliverable securities (an uncovered forward commitment to sell), it incurs a risk of loss because it could have to purchase the securities at a price that is higher than the price at which it sold them. A fund may be unable to purchase the deliverable securities if the corresponding market is illiquid.

TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "TBA Sale Commitments." The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts and swaps. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns, to gain exposure to certain types of assets and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of interest-bearing securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. 

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade. Counterparty credit risk related to centrally cleared OTC swaps may be mitigated by the protection provided by the clearinghouse.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance of the Fund, summarizes the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Statement of Operations.

Primary Risk Exposure / Derivative Type Net Realized Gain (Loss) Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) 
Interest Rate Risk   
Futures Contracts $(18,448,947) $(1,073,277) 
Swaps 3,207,192 761,998 
Total Interest Rate Risk (15,241,755) (311,279) 
Totals $(15,241,755) $(311,279) 

A summary of the value of derivatives by primary risk exposure as of period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and fluctuations in interest rates.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is included in the Statement of Operations.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Swaps. A swap is a contract between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. A centrally cleared OTC swap is a transaction executed between a fund and a dealer counterparty, then cleared by a futures commission merchant (FCM) through a clearinghouse. Once cleared, the clearinghouse serves as a central counterparty, with whom a fund exchanges cash flows for the life of the transaction, similar to transactions in futures contracts.

Centrally cleared OTC swaps require a fund to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the FCM, at the instruction of and for the benefit of the clearinghouse. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Centrally cleared OTC swaps are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the swaps and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). These daily payments, if any, are included in receivable or payable for daily variation margin on centrally cleared OTC swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any premiums for centrally cleared OTC swaps are recorded periodically throughout the term of the swap to variation margin and included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any premiums are recognized as realized gain (loss) upon termination or maturity of the swap.

Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gain or (loss). Some swaps may be terminated prior to the effective date and realize a gain or loss upon termination. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps during the period is included in the Statement of Operations.

Any open swaps at period end are included in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swaps" and are representative of volume of activity during the period.

Interest Rate Swaps. Interest rate swaps are agreements between counterparties to exchange cash flows, one based on a fixed rate, and the other on a floating rate. The Fund entered into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. Changes in interest rates can have an effect on both the value of bond holdings as well as the amount of interest income earned. In general, the value of bonds can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $833,193,605 and $3,229,019,422, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Effective June 1, 2017, under the management contract approved by the Board and shareholders, Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. In addition, the investment adviser pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.

Prior to June 1, 2017, the investment adviser and its affiliates provided the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund paid a monthly management fee that was based on an annual rate of .35% of the Fund's average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser paid all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as transfer agent and interest expense, including commitment fees.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. Effective June 1, 2017, fees for these services are no longer charged to the classes. Prior to June 1, 2017, FIIOC received account fees and asset-based fees that varied according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of Series Investment Grade Bond. FIIOC received no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

For the period, transfer agent fees for each applicable class were as follows:

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $4,199.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $77,530 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $1,868,223.

9. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $132,684.

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Series Investment Grade Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Series Investment Grade Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Series Investment Grade Bond Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,024.10 $1.12**
 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C 5% return per year before expenses


** If fees and changes to the Fund's expense contract and/or expense cap, effective June 1, 2017, had been in effect during the entire period, the restated annualized expense ratio would have been .00% and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $.00 and $.00, respectively.

Distributions (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Series Investment Grade Bond Fund voted to pay on October 16, 2017, to shareholders of record at the opening of business on October 13, 2017, a distribution of $.007 per share derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities.

The fund hereby designates as a capital gain dividend with respect to the taxable year ended August 31, 2017, $45,206,210, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gain of such year.

A total of 13.41% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Managers Brandon Bettencourt and Jay Small:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes produced slightly positive returns that were roughly in line with, net of fees, the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. These results met our goal of producing monthly returns, before expenses, that closely match the benchmark return. We used a method known as “stratified sampling,” or investing in representative securities, to construct a portfolio that approximately mirrored the structure of the index in terms of sector weightings, maturity distribution and credit quality. Also, we managed the portfolio so that it matched the benchmark in terms of overall sensitivity to changing interest rates and movements in the yield curve, which plots bond yields relative to their maturities. Looking ahead, bond returns likely will be shaped by expectations for further policy interest rate increases, as well as the Federal Reserve’s plans to begin reducing the $4.5 trillion in government securities it accumulated as part of the quantitative easing program it deployed to battle the last recession. Regardless of the backdrop, the fund's focus remains on closely tracking the performance of the overall bond market.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Investor Class, Premium Class, Institutional Class, Institutional Premium Class and Class F shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund offers conversion privileges between share classes to eligible shareholders. Class F shares of the Fund are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as investment manager.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, supranational obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $824,463 
Gross unrealized depreciation (137,545) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $686,918 
Tax Cost $33,472,636 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed long-term capital gain $14,923 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $686,918 

The Fund intends to elect to defer to its next fiscal year $15,000 of capital losses recognized during the period November 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $714,930 $ 547,324 
Long-term Capital Gains – 26,944 
Total $714,930 $ 574,268 

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Fund transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

To-Be-Announced (TBA) Securities and Mortgage Dollar Rolls. During the period, the Fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities (MBS) on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. The Fund may enter into a TBA transaction with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying MBS, or the Fund may elect to extend the settlement by entering into either a mortgage or reverse mortgage dollar roll. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions where a fund sells TBA securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase MBS on a later date at a lower price and with the same counterparty. Reverse mortgage dollar rolls involve the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell TBA securities on a later date at a lower price. Transactions in mortgage dollar rolls and reverse mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund's portfolio turnover rate.

Purchases and sales of TBA securities involve risks similar to those discussed above for delayed delivery and when-issued securities. Also, if the counterparty in a mortgage dollar roll or a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Additionally, when a fund sells TBA securities without already owning or having the right to obtain the deliverable securities (an uncovered forward commitment to sell), it incurs a risk of loss because it could have to purchase the securities at a price that is higher than the price at which it sold them. A fund may be unable to purchase the deliverable securities if the corresponding market is illiquid.

TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "TBA Sale Commitments." The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,694,807 and $796,610, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. Effective August 1, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the management contract to reduce the management fee from an annual rate of .03% to .025% of the Fund's average net assets. The management fee is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other fund-level expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense, including commitment fees. For the reporting period, the Fund's total annual management fee rate was .029% of the Fund's average net assets.

Effective August 1, 2017, the Board also approved an amendment to the expense contract. Under the expense contract, the investment adviser pays class-level expenses as necessary so that the total expenses do not exceed certain amounts of each class' average net assets on an annual basis with certain exceptions, as noted in the following table:

Investor Class .14% 
Premium Class .045% 
Institutional Class .035% 
Institutional Premium Class .025% 
Class F .025% 

Prior to August 1, 2017, the investment adviser paid class-level expenses as necessary so that the total expenses did not exceed certain amounts as noted in the following table:

Investor Class .15% 
Premium Class .05% 
Institutional Class .04% 
Institutional Premium Class .03% 
Class F .03% 

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class. FIIOC receives transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .17%, .12%, .035% and .015% of class-level average net assets for Investor Class, Premium Class, Institutional Class and Institutional Premium Class, respectively. FIIOC receives no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Effective August 1, 2017, under the amended expense contract, Investor Class, Premium Class and Institutional Class pay a portion of the transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .115%, .02% and .01%, of class-level average net assets, respectively, and Institutional Premium Class does not pay a transfer agent fee. FIIOC receives no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. Prior to August 1, 2017, Investor Class, Premium Class and Institutional Class paid a portion of the transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .12%, .02%, and .01% of class-level average net assets, respectively. Institutional Premium did not pay transfer agent fees.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each applicable class were as follows:

 Amount % of Class-Level Average Net Assets 
Investor Class $460 .12% 
Premium Class 1,690 .02% 
Institutional Class 383 .01% 
 $2,533  

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $90 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $531.

8. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $34.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

 Year ended August 31, 2017 Year ended August 31, 2016

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 31% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-835-5092.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund voted to pay to shareholders of record at the opening of business on record date, the following distributions per share derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities:

 Pay Date Record Date Capital Gains 
Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund    
Investor Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Premium Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Institutional Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Institutional Premium Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Class F 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 

The fund hereby designates as a capital gain dividend with respect to the taxable year ended August 31, 2017, $18,413,690, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gain of such year.

A total of 27.12% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $454,462,584 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund

On July 20, 2017, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve an amended and restated management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) (the Amended Contract) for the fund to decrease the management fees paid by the fund to FMR by 0.5 basis points. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board noted that it previously received and considered materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by FMR to the fund, including the resources dedicated to investment management and support services, shareholder and administrative services, the benefits to shareholders of investment in a large fund family, and the investment performance of the fund in connection with the annual renewal of the fund's current management and sub-advisory agreement. At its September 2016 meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund under the existing management and sub-advisory agreement should benefit the fund's shareholders. The Board noted that approval of the Amended Contract would not change the fund's portfolio manager, the investment processes, the level or nature of services provided, the resources and personnel allocated or trading and compliance operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the fund under the Amended Contract will continue to benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio.  The Board considered that it received and reviewed information regarding the fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes at the current management fee and expense levels in connection with the annual renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements in September 2016 and as part of the annual review of these agreements occurring in July 2017. The Board noted that it had concluded at its September 2016 meeting that the fund's management fee and total expenses were fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of the proposed management fee rate under the Amended Contract, the Board considered that the proposed fee rate is lower by 0.5 basis points than the current management fee rate. The Board also considered that the management fee rate would continue to rank below the median of its competitor funds based on the competitive mapped group data provided to the Board in connection with the annual renewal of the existing management contract. The Board also considered that FMR will retain its obligation to pay fund-level operating expenses, with certain limited exceptions, under the management contract.

In connection with its review of the fund's total expenses, the Board considered the effects of new contractual arrangements for the fund that oblige FMR to pay all "class-level" expenses of each class of the fund to the extent necessary to limit total expenses, with certain exceptions, as follows: 0.14%: Investor; 0.045%: Premium; 0.035%: Institutional; 0.025%: Institutional Premium; 0.025%: Class F. The Board also considered that the total expense ratio for each class of the fund would continue to rank below the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons that have a similar sales load structure based on the competitive mapped group data provided to the Board at its September 2016 meeting in connection with the annual renewal of the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the management fee and the total expenses continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability.  The Board considered that it has reviewed information regarding the revenues earned, the expenses incurred by FMR in providing services to the fund and the level of FMR's profitability. At its September 2016 meeting, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that the profitability of FMR in connection with the operation of the fund was not excessive. Because the Board was approving an arrangement under which the management fees were being reduced, the Board did not consider FMR's costs of services, revenues, or profitability to be significant factors in its decision to approve the Amended Contract.

Economies of Scale.  The Board considered that it previously received and reviewed information regarding whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is a potential realization of any further economies of scale and that it concluded, at its September 2016 meeting, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity. In connection with its approval of the Amended Contract, the Board did not consider economies of scale to be a significant factor in its decision to approve the agreement because FMR will continue to contractually limit fund expenses. The Board will continue to review economies of scale in connection with future renewals of the Amended Contract.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Amended Contract should be ratified and approved.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields posted slight gains early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then rallied strongly in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Managers David Prothro and Matthew Bennett:  For the year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) posted gains of about 2% to 3%, net of fees, outpacing the 1.90% return of the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index. Security selection among banks and technology companies, along with favorable overall positioning in the recovering energy sector, fueled the fund's relative performance. Picks among electric utilities also aided relative results. Underweighting various government-related categories also helped, as these areas of the market underperformed corporate credit; in particular, not holding U.S. government-agency securities or bonds issued by supranational entities proved additive. On the downside, a combined stake in cash and U.S. Treasuries, held for liquidity and duration-management purposes, dampened relative performance, as did underweighting the strong-performing basic industry group within corporate bonds. As the period progressed, we sought to capitalize on market strength while also decreasing credit risk by reducing the fund’s high-yield bond allocation and trimming risk elsewhere. By period end, the fund was more conservatively positioned than it was a year ago.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M (formerly Class T), Class C, Corporate Bond and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.

 (a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.


An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or institutional.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, municipal securities, preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $49,028,707 
Gross unrealized depreciation (3,990,085) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $45,038,622 
Tax Cost $1,146,609,935 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $97,824 
Capital loss carryforward $(8,275,355) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $45,038,622 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

No expiration  
Short-term $(5,745,835) 
Long-term (2,529,520) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(8,275,355) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $36,312,891 $ 34,329,909 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $344,620,295 and $346,420,756, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .35% of the Fund's average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees, and interest expense, including commitment fees.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution
Fee 
Service

Class C .75% .25% 191,873 51,245 
   $313,752 $54,955 

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, .75% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained
by FDC

Class C(a) 4,967 
 $17,547 

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.


Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund, with the exception of Corporate Bond. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Corporate Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of

Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,806 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Expense Reductions.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in each Class' annualized expense ratio. In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year were less than .005%.

 C 5% return per year before expenses

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields posted slight gains early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then rallied strongly in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Managers Robert Chan and Rob Galusza:  For the annual reporting period ending August 31, 2017, the fund’s share classes returned about 1%, outpacing, net of fees, the 0.67% return of the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 3-6 Month Treasury Bill Index. This was a challenging 12 months. Policy rates rose by a quarter-point on three occasions this period, pushing short-term yields higher. Meanwhile, yield spreads for short-term corporate bonds narrowed. We positioned for higher short-term interest rates and kept the fund’s net asset value (NAV) fairly steady. Corporate bonds contributed most to fund results versus the benchmark. Within corporates, the bonds of banking companies added significant value. The bonds of industrial companies, specifically consumer cyclical and energy names, also helped. Investments in utility companies also contributed slightly. Outside of corporates, variable-rate demand notes, which are very short-term bonds offered by municipalities – contributed some. Conversely, some short-term interest rates, including unsecured bank-borrowing rates such as Libor, did not rise by as much as we had expected, which detracted somewhat from the performance of our floating-rate note (FRN) position.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Conservative Income Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Conservative Income Bond Fund and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, U.S. government and government agency obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other Short-Term securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $12,318,918 
Gross unrealized depreciation (592,262) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $11,726,656 
Tax Cost $7,432,417,991 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Capital loss carryforward $(289,127) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $11,726,656 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

No expiration  
Long-term  $(289,127) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(289,127) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $74,045,548 $ 33,529,590 
Long-term Capital Gains 373,498 
Total $74,045,548 $ 33,903,088 

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,826,703,903 and $1,559,079,559, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other fund-level expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense, including commitment fees.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives asset-based fees of .10% and .05% of average net assets for Conservative Income Bond Class and Institutional Class, respectively. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount 
Conservative Income Bond $1,668,502 
Institutional Class 2,376,208 
 $4,044,710 

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $19,540 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through October 31, 2018. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

 Expense
Limitations 
Reimbursement 
Conservative Income Bond .35% $841,232 
Institutional Class .25% 4,766,130 
  $5,607,362 

In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $3,040.

8. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

 Year ended August 31, 2017 Year ended August 31, 2016

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers Short Duration Fund was the owner of record of approximately 13% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Conservative Income Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Conservative Income Bond Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Conservative Income Bond Fund as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP

Boston, Massachusetts
October 17, 2017

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,023.95 $1.28 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 2.27% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $37,069,986 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Manager Rob Galusza:  For the fiscal year, the fund returned 1.19%, net of fees, trailing the 1.59% return of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Bond Index. Sector allocation and security selection each slightly weighed on the fund's performance versus the benchmark. A non-benchmark stake of roughly 16%, on average, in U.S. Treasury securities hindered our relative result in an environment that largely favored spread sectors – particularly corporate bonds, which the fund underweighted. Within corporates, we had some unhelpful picks among financial institutions, especially banks. Choices among the bonds of energy companies slightly weighed on relative performance, as did an underweighting in this segment. Conversely, underweighting government-related bonds, many of which offered paltry yields, made a healthy relative contribution, as did avoiding the debt of foreign-government institutions. Lastly, underweighting government-related agency debentures added value.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Series Short-Term Credit Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of the Fund are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as an investment manager. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Effective August 28, 2017, the Fund no longer offered Class F, and all outstanding shares of Class F were exchanged for shares of Series Short-Term Credit shares.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations and commercial paper are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to premium on debt securities, market discount, excise tax regulations, and wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities and derivatives if applicable for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $8,152,022 
Gross unrealized depreciation (2,494,195) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $5,657,827 
Tax Cost $2,096,086,362 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $342,717 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $5,657,827 

The Fund intends to elect to defer to its next fiscal year $3,590,489 of capital losses recognized during the period November 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $29,834,743 $ 20,717,717 
Long-term Capital Gains 424,704 – 
Total $30,259,447 $ 20,717,717 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $794,345,283 and $693,387,493, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Effective June 1, 2017, under the management contract approved by the Board and shareholders, Fidelity Management & Research (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. In addition, the investment adviser pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.

Prior to June 1, 2017, the investment adviser and its affiliates provided the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund paid a monthly management fee that was based on an annual rate of .35% of the Fund's average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser paid all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as transfer agent and interest expense, including commitment fees.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. Effective June 1, 2017, fees for these services are no longer charged to the classes. Prior to June 1, 2017, FIIOC received transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .10% of average net assets for Series Short Term Credit. FIIOC received no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

For the period, transfer agent fees for each applicable class were as follows:

 Amount 
Series Short-Term Credit $768,480 

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $6,926 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expense by $1,513.

8. Distributions to Shareholders.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Series Short-Term Credit Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Series Short-Term Credit Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Series Short-Term Credit Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 Annualized Expense Ratio-A Beginning
Account Value
March 1, 2017 
Ending
Account Value
August 31, 2017 
Expenses Paid
During Period-B
March 1, 2017
to August 31, 2017 
Series Short-Term Credit .22%    
Actual  $1,000.00 $1,011.40 $1.12-C 
Hypothetical-D  $1,000.00 $1,024.10 $1.12-C 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C If fees and changes to the Fund's expense contract and/ or expense cap, effective June 1, 2017, had been in effect during the entire period, the restated annualized expense ratio would have been .00% and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $.00 and $.00, respectively.

 D 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

The fund hereby designates as a capital gain dividend with respect to the taxable year ended August 31, 2017, $313,933, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gain of such year.

A total of 10.72% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is available only to certain fee-based accounts offered by Fidelity.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, supranational obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $1,408,942 
Gross unrealized depreciation (1,484) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $1,407,458 
Tax Cost $73,325,570 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $344,277 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $1,407,458 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017(a) 
Ordinary Income $661,590 

 (a) For the period March 9, 2017 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2017.


Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Fund transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, and U.S. government securities, aggregated $18,935,055 and $192,561, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services and the Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $60 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 94% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period March 9, 2017 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-835-5092.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 9, 2017 to August 31, 2017). The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 Annualized Expense Ratio-A Beginning
Account Value 
Ending
Account Value
August 31, 2017

Actual - %-B $1,000.00 $1,039.90 $--C

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Amount represents less than .005%.

 C Actual expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 176/365 (to reflect the period March 9, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

 D 5% return per year before expenses

 E Hypothetical expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).


Distributions (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund voted to pay on October 16, 2017, to shareholders of record at the opening of business on October 13, 2017, a distribution of $0.057 per share derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities.

A total of 35.35% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund

On January 18, 2017, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity, and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services.  The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services.  The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services to be performed by FMR, the sub-advisers (together with FMR, the Investment Advisers), and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment Performance.  The fund is a new fund and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at the time it approved the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board considered the Investment Advisers' strength in fundamental, research-driven security selection, which the Board is familiar with through its supervision of other Fidelity funds.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio.  The Board noted that the fund is available exclusively to retirement plans offered through certain Fidelity fee-based programs. The Board considered that while the fund does not pay a management fee, FMR is indirectly compensated for its services out of the program fee. The Board noted that FMR pays all operating expenses, with certain limited exceptions, on behalf of the fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's fee structure was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability.  The fund is a new fund and therefore no revenue, cost, or profitability data was available for the Board to review in respect of the fund at the time it approved the Advisory Contracts. In connection with its future renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders.

Economies of Scale.  The Board will consider economies of scale when there is operating experience to permit assessment thereof. It noted, however, that because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears most expenses of the fund, economies of scale cannot be realized by the fund.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts

Fidelity Flex U.S. Bond Index Fund

On July 20, 2017, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve amended and restated sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) for the fund to decrease the sub-advisory fees paid to the sub-advisers by 0.25 basis points (Amended Contracts). The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.

The Board noted that it previously received and considered materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by FMR and the sub-advisers to the fund, including the resources dedicated to investment management and support services, shareholder and administrative services, and the benefits to shareholders of investment in a large fund family. At its January 2017 meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund under the existing management and sub-advisory agreements should benefit the fund's shareholders. The Board noted that approval of the Amended Contracts would not change the fund's portfolio manager, the investment processes, the level or nature of services provided, the resources and personnel allocated or trading and compliance operations.

The Board noted that the fund is available through a new bundled fee offering for plans that are recordkept by Fidelity Investments. The Board considered that, while the fund does not pay a management fee, FMR is indirectly compensated for its services out of the program fee and the sub-advisers receive compensation from FMR. The Board noted at its January 2017 meeting that FMR pays all operating expenses, with certain limited exceptions, on behalf of the fund. Because the Board was approving an arrangement with the sub-advisers under which the fund will not bear any additional management fees or expenses and under which the fund's portfolio manager would not change, it did not consider the fund's investment performance, competitiveness of management fee and total expenses, costs of services and profitability, or economies of scale to be significant factors in its decision.

In connection with its future renewal of the fund's management contract and sub-advisory agreements, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's Amended Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Amended Contracts should be approved.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Managers Brandon Bettencourt and Jay Small:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes produced slightly positive returns that were roughly in line with, net of fees, the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. These results met our goal of producing monthly returns, before expenses, that closely match the benchmark return. We used a method known as “stratified sampling,” or investing in representative securities, to construct a portfolio that approximately mirrored the structure of the index in terms of sector weightings, maturity distribution and credit quality. Also, we managed the portfolio so that it matched the benchmark in terms of overall sensitivity to changing interest rates and movements in the yield curve, which plots bond yields relative to their maturities. Looking ahead, bond returns likely will be shaped by expectations for further policy interest rate increases, as well as the Federal Reserve’s plans to begin reducing the $4.5 trillion in government securities it accumulated as part of the quantitative easing program it deployed to battle the last recession. Regardless of the backdrop, the fund's focus remains on closely tracking the performance of the overall bond market.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Investor Class, Premium Class, Institutional Class, Institutional Premium Class and Class F shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund offers conversion privileges between share classes to eligible shareholders. Class F shares of the Fund are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as investment manager.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, supranational obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $824,463 
Gross unrealized depreciation (137,545) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $686,918 
Tax Cost $33,472,636 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed long-term capital gain $14,923 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $686,918 

The Fund intends to elect to defer to its next fiscal year $15,000 of capital losses recognized during the period November 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $714,930 $ 547,324 
Long-term Capital Gains – 26,944 
Total $714,930 $ 574,268 

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Fund transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

To-Be-Announced (TBA) Securities and Mortgage Dollar Rolls. During the period, the Fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities (MBS) on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. The Fund may enter into a TBA transaction with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying MBS, or the Fund may elect to extend the settlement by entering into either a mortgage or reverse mortgage dollar roll. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions where a fund sells TBA securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase MBS on a later date at a lower price and with the same counterparty. Reverse mortgage dollar rolls involve the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell TBA securities on a later date at a lower price. Transactions in mortgage dollar rolls and reverse mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund's portfolio turnover rate.

Purchases and sales of TBA securities involve risks similar to those discussed above for delayed delivery and when-issued securities. Also, if the counterparty in a mortgage dollar roll or a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Additionally, when a fund sells TBA securities without already owning or having the right to obtain the deliverable securities (an uncovered forward commitment to sell), it incurs a risk of loss because it could have to purchase the securities at a price that is higher than the price at which it sold them. A fund may be unable to purchase the deliverable securities if the corresponding market is illiquid.

TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "TBA Sale Commitments." The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,694,807 and $796,610, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. Effective August 1, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the management contract to reduce the management fee from an annual rate of .03% to .025% of the Fund's average net assets. The management fee is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other fund-level expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense, including commitment fees. For the reporting period, the Fund's total annual management fee rate was .029% of the Fund's average net assets.

Effective August 1, 2017, the Board also approved an amendment to the expense contract. Under the expense contract, the investment adviser pays class-level expenses as necessary so that the total expenses do not exceed certain amounts of each class' average net assets on an annual basis with certain exceptions, as noted in the following table:

Investor Class .14% 
Premium Class .045% 
Institutional Class .035% 
Institutional Premium Class .025% 
Class F .025% 

Prior to August 1, 2017, the investment adviser paid class-level expenses as necessary so that the total expenses did not exceed certain amounts as noted in the following table:

Investor Class .15% 
Premium Class .05% 
Institutional Class .04% 
Institutional Premium Class .03% 
Class F .03% 

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class. FIIOC receives transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .17%, .12%, .035% and .015% of class-level average net assets for Investor Class, Premium Class, Institutional Class and Institutional Premium Class, respectively. FIIOC receives no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Effective August 1, 2017, under the amended expense contract, Investor Class, Premium Class and Institutional Class pay a portion of the transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .115%, .02% and .01%, of class-level average net assets, respectively, and Institutional Premium Class does not pay a transfer agent fee. FIIOC receives no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. Prior to August 1, 2017, Investor Class, Premium Class and Institutional Class paid a portion of the transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .12%, .02%, and .01% of class-level average net assets, respectively. Institutional Premium did not pay transfer agent fees.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each applicable class were as follows:

 Amount % of Class-Level Average Net Assets 
Investor Class $460 .12% 
Premium Class 1,690 .02% 
Institutional Class 383 .01% 
 $2,533  

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $90 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $531.

8. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $34.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 31% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Distributions (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund voted to pay to shareholders of record at the opening of business on record date, the following distributions per share derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities:

 Pay Date Record Date Capital Gains 
Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund    
Investor Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Premium Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007

The fund hereby designates as a capital gain dividend with respect to the taxable year ended August 31, 2017, $18,413,690, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gain of such year.

A total of 27.12% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $454,462,584 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund

On July 20, 2017, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve an amended and restated management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) (the Amended Contract) for the fund to decrease the management fees paid by the fund to FMR by 0.5 basis points. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board noted that it previously received and considered materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by FMR to the fund, including the resources dedicated to investment management and support services, shareholder and administrative services, the benefits to shareholders of investment in a large fund family, and the investment performance of the fund in connection with the annual renewal of the fund's current management and sub-advisory agreement. At its September 2016 meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund under the existing management and sub-advisory agreement should benefit the fund's shareholders. The Board noted that approval of the Amended Contract would not change the fund's portfolio manager, the investment processes, the level or nature of services provided, the resources and personnel allocated or trading and compliance operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the fund under the Amended Contract will continue to benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio.  The Board considered that it received and reviewed information regarding the fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes at the current management fee and expense levels in connection with the annual renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements in September 2016 and as part of the annual review of these agreements occurring in July 2017. The Board noted that it had concluded at its September 2016 meeting that the fund's management fee and total expenses were fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of the proposed management fee rate under the Amended Contract, the Board considered that the proposed fee rate is lower by 0.5 basis points than the current management fee rate. The Board also considered that the management fee rate would continue to rank below the median of its competitor funds based on the competitive mapped group data provided to the Board in connection with the annual renewal of the existing management contract. The Board also considered that FMR will retain its obligation to pay fund-level operating expenses, with certain limited exceptions, under the management contract.

In connection with its review of the fund's total expenses, the Board considered the effects of new contractual arrangements for the fund that oblige FMR to pay all "class-level" expenses of each class of the fund to the extent necessary to limit total expenses, with certain exceptions, as follows: 0.14%: Investor; 0.045%: Premium; 0.035%: Institutional; 0.025%: Institutional Premium; 0.025%: Class F. The Board also considered that the total expense ratio for each class of the fund would continue to rank below the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons that have a similar sales load structure based on the competitive mapped group data provided to the Board at its September 2016 meeting in connection with the annual renewal of the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the management fee and the total expenses continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability.  The Board considered that it has reviewed information regarding the revenues earned, the expenses incurred by FMR in providing services to the fund and the level of FMR's profitability. At its September 2016 meeting, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that the profitability of FMR in connection with the operation of the fund was not excessive. Because the Board was approving an arrangement under which the management fees were being reduced, the Board did not consider FMR's costs of services, revenues, or profitability to be significant factors in its decision to approve the Amended Contract.

Economies of Scale.  The Board considered that it previously received and reviewed information regarding whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is a potential realization of any further economies of scale and that it concluded, at its September 2016 meeting, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity. In connection with its approval of the Amended Contract, the Board did not consider economies of scale to be a significant factor in its decision to approve the agreement because FMR will continue to contractually limit fund expenses. The Board will continue to review economies of scale in connection with future renewals of the Amended Contract.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Amended Contract should be ratified and approved.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Managers Brandon Bettencourt and Jay Small:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes produced slightly positive returns that were roughly in line with, net of fees, the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. These results met our goal of producing monthly returns, before expenses, that closely match the benchmark return. We used a method known as “stratified sampling,” or investing in representative securities, to construct a portfolio that approximately mirrored the structure of the index in terms of sector weightings, maturity distribution and credit quality. Also, we managed the portfolio so that it matched the benchmark in terms of overall sensitivity to changing interest rates and movements in the yield curve, which plots bond yields relative to their maturities. Looking ahead, bond returns likely will be shaped by expectations for further policy interest rate increases, as well as the Federal Reserve’s plans to begin reducing the $4.5 trillion in government securities it accumulated as part of the quantitative easing program it deployed to battle the last recession. Regardless of the backdrop, the fund's focus remains on closely tracking the performance of the overall bond market.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Investor Class, Premium Class, Institutional Class, Institutional Premium Class and Class F shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund offers conversion privileges between share classes to eligible shareholders. Class F shares of the Fund are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as investment manager.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, supranational obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $824,463 
Gross unrealized depreciation (137,545) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $686,918 
Tax Cost $33,472,636 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed long-term capital gain $14,923 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $686,918 

The Fund intends to elect to defer to its next fiscal year $15,000 of capital losses recognized during the period November 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $714,930 $ 547,324 
Long-term Capital Gains – 26,944 
Total $714,930 $ 574,268 

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Fund transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

To-Be-Announced (TBA) Securities and Mortgage Dollar Rolls. During the period, the Fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities (MBS) on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. The Fund may enter into a TBA transaction with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying MBS, or the Fund may elect to extend the settlement by entering into either a mortgage or reverse mortgage dollar roll. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions where a fund sells TBA securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase MBS on a later date at a lower price and with the same counterparty. Reverse mortgage dollar rolls involve the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell TBA securities on a later date at a lower price. Transactions in mortgage dollar rolls and reverse mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund's portfolio turnover rate.

Purchases and sales of TBA securities involve risks similar to those discussed above for delayed delivery and when-issued securities. Also, if the counterparty in a mortgage dollar roll or a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Additionally, when a fund sells TBA securities without already owning or having the right to obtain the deliverable securities (an uncovered forward commitment to sell), it incurs a risk of loss because it could have to purchase the securities at a price that is higher than the price at which it sold them. A fund may be unable to purchase the deliverable securities if the corresponding market is illiquid.

TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "TBA Sale Commitments." The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,694,807 and $796,610, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. Effective August 1, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the management contract to reduce the management fee from an annual rate of .03% to .025% of the Fund's average net assets. The management fee is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other fund-level expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense, including commitment fees. For the reporting period, the Fund's total annual management fee rate was .029% of the Fund's average net assets.

Effective August 1, 2017, the Board also approved an amendment to the expense contract. Under the expense contract, the investment adviser pays class-level expenses as necessary so that the total expenses do not exceed certain amounts of each class' average net assets on an annual basis with certain exceptions, as noted in the following table:

Investor Class .14% 
Premium Class .045% 
Institutional Class .035% 
Institutional Premium Class .025% 
Class F .025% 

Prior to August 1, 2017, the investment adviser paid class-level expenses as necessary so that the total expenses did not exceed certain amounts as noted in the following table:

Investor Class .15% 
Premium Class .05% 
Institutional Class .04% 
Institutional Premium Class .03% 
Class F .03% 

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class. FIIOC receives transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .17%, .12%, .035% and .015% of class-level average net assets for Investor Class, Premium Class, Institutional Class and Institutional Premium Class, respectively. FIIOC receives no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Effective August 1, 2017, under the amended expense contract, Investor Class, Premium Class and Institutional Class pay a portion of the transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .115%, .02% and .01%, of class-level average net assets, respectively, and Institutional Premium Class does not pay a transfer agent fee. FIIOC receives no fees for providing transfer agency services to Class F. Prior to August 1, 2017, Investor Class, Premium Class and Institutional Class paid a portion of the transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .12%, .02%, and .01% of class-level average net assets, respectively. Institutional Premium did not pay transfer agent fees.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each applicable class were as follows:

 Amount % of Class-Level Average Net Assets 
Investor Class $460 .12% 
Premium Class 1,690 .02% 
Institutional Class 383 .01% 
 $2,533  

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $90 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $531.

8. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $34.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

 Year ended August 31, 2017 Year ended August 31, 2016

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 31% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund voted to pay to shareholders of record at the opening of business on record date, the following distributions per share derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities:

 Pay Date Record Date Capital Gains 
Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund    
Investor Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Premium Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Institutional Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Institutional Premium Class 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 
Class F 10/16/17 10/13/17 $0.007 

The fund hereby designates as a capital gain dividend with respect to the taxable year ended August 31, 2017, $18,413,690, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gain of such year.

A total of 27.12% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $454,462,584 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund

On July 20, 2017, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve an amended and restated management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) (the Amended Contract) for the fund to decrease the management fees paid by the fund to FMR by 0.5 basis points. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board noted that it previously received and considered materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by FMR to the fund, including the resources dedicated to investment management and support services, shareholder and administrative services, the benefits to shareholders of investment in a large fund family, and the investment performance of the fund in connection with the annual renewal of the fund's current management and sub-advisory agreement. At its September 2016 meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund under the existing management and sub-advisory agreement should benefit the fund's shareholders. The Board noted that approval of the Amended Contract would not change the fund's portfolio manager, the investment processes, the level or nature of services provided, the resources and personnel allocated or trading and compliance operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the fund under the Amended Contract will continue to benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio.  The Board considered that it received and reviewed information regarding the fund's management fee rate and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes at the current management fee and expense levels in connection with the annual renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements in September 2016 and as part of the annual review of these agreements occurring in July 2017. The Board noted that it had concluded at its September 2016 meeting that the fund's management fee and total expenses were fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of the proposed management fee rate under the Amended Contract, the Board considered that the proposed fee rate is lower by 0.5 basis points than the current management fee rate. The Board also considered that the management fee rate would continue to rank below the median of its competitor funds based on the competitive mapped group data provided to the Board in connection with the annual renewal of the existing management contract. The Board also considered that FMR will retain its obligation to pay fund-level operating expenses, with certain limited exceptions, under the management contract.

In connection with its review of the fund's total expenses, the Board considered the effects of new contractual arrangements for the fund that oblige FMR to pay all "class-level" expenses of each class of the fund to the extent necessary to limit total expenses, with certain exceptions, as follows: 0.14%: Investor; 0.045%: Premium; 0.035%: Institutional; 0.025%: Institutional Premium; 0.025%: Class F. The Board also considered that the total expense ratio for each class of the fund would continue to rank below the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons that have a similar sales load structure based on the competitive mapped group data provided to the Board at its September 2016 meeting in connection with the annual renewal of the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the management fee and the total expenses continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability.  The Board considered that it has reviewed information regarding the revenues earned, the expenses incurred by FMR in providing services to the fund and the level of FMR's profitability. At its September 2016 meeting, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that the profitability of FMR in connection with the operation of the fund was not excessive. Because the Board was approving an arrangement under which the management fees were being reduced, the Board did not consider FMR's costs of services, revenues, or profitability to be significant factors in its decision to approve the Amended Contract.

Economies of Scale.  The Board considered that it previously received and reviewed information regarding whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is a potential realization of any further economies of scale and that it concluded, at its September 2016 meeting, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity. In connection with its approval of the Amended Contract, the Board did not consider economies of scale to be a significant factor in its decision to approve the agreement because FMR will continue to contractually limit fund expenses. The Board will continue to review economies of scale in connection with future renewals of the Amended Contract.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Amended Contract should be ratified and approved.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Average Annual Total Returns

For the periods ended August 31, 2017 Past 1 year Past 5 years Past 10 years 
Class A (incl. 4.00% sales charge) (3.01)% 1.29% 3.56% 
Class M (incl. 4.00% sales charge) (3.03)% 1.29% 3.55% 
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) (0.72)% 1.38% 3.21% 
Class I 1.31% 2.42% 4.28% 

 Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Manager Jeffrey Moore:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 0% to 1%. Most of these classes outpaced the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which advanced 0.49%. Owning higher-yielding, riskier assets, especially early in the period, helped. More specifically, the fund’s overweighting in investment-grade corporate bonds contributed to relative return, especially in the financial sector, where a focus on lower-quality bank bonds added value. Security selection in the energy industry also contributed. Investments in certain government-related bonds contributed versus the index, as well, with some of the strongest results coming from holdings in two state-owned oil companies: Pemex (Mexico) and Petrobras (Brazil). In contrast, it modestly hurt to have a roughly 6% allocation to cash, on average, which lagged the index. An underweighting in consumer non-cyclical bonds and security selection in the communications category also hampered results. We significantly scaled back our longtime in corporate bonds after the fourth quarter of 2016, redeploying more of the fund's assets into Treasuries, which at period end struck us as the better relative value.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M (formerly Class T), Class C, Investment Grade Bond and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

After the close of business on June 24, 2016, all outstanding Class B shares were converted to Class A shares. All prior fiscal period dollar and share amounts for Class B presented in the Notes to Financial Statements are for the period September 1, 2015 through June 24, 2016.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or institutional.fidelity.com ,as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, municipal securities, preferred securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from third party pricing vendors, registered derivatives clearing organizations (clearinghouses) or broker-supplied valuations. These pricing sources may utilize inputs such as interest rate curves, credit spread curves, default possibilities and recovery rates. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities and swaps may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities and swaps are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. The principal amount on inflation-indexed securities is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation and interest is accrued based on the principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to Interest in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, swaps, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $212,525 
Gross unrealized depreciation (76,401) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $136,124 
Tax Cost $10,533,729 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $2,332 
Capital loss carryforward $(49,615) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $136,125 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Fiscal year of expiration  
2018 $(49,615) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(49,615) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $195,690 $ 204,238 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including swaps. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns, to gain exposure to certain types of assets and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Credit Risk Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.
 

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain OTC derivatives such as bi-lateral swaps, the Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Fund the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement upon the deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty beyond specified levels. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party the right, upon an event of default by the other party or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net payable by one party to the other. To mitigate counterparty credit risk on bi-lateral OTC derivatives, the Fund receives collateral in the form of cash or securities once the Fund's net unrealized appreciation on outstanding derivative contracts under an ISDA Master Agreement exceeds certain applicable thresholds, subject to certain minimum transfer provisions. The collateral received is held in segregated accounts with the Fund's custodian bank in accordance with the collateral agreements entered into between the Fund, the counterparty and the Fund's custodian bank. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral even though it is held by the Fund's custodian bank. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to bi-lateral OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized appreciation and unpaid counterparty payments in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Fund. The Fund may be required to pledge collateral for the benefit of the counterparties on bi-lateral OTC derivatives in an amount not less than each counterparty's unrealized appreciation on outstanding derivative contracts, subject to certain minimum transfer provisions, and any such pledged collateral is identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance of the Fund, summarizes the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Statement of Operations.

Primary Risk Exposure / Derivative Type Net Realized Gain (Loss) Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) 
Credit Risk   
Swaps $(905) $403 

A summary of the value of derivatives by primary risk exposure as of period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.

Swaps. A swap is a contract between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. A bi-lateral OTC swap is a transaction between a fund and a dealer counterparty where cash flows are exchanged between the two parties for the life of the swap.

Bi-lateral OTC swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the bi-lateral OTC swaps at value line items. Any upfront premiums paid or received upon entering a bi-lateral OTC swap to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap and prevailing market conditions (e.g. credit spreads, interest rates or other factors) are recorded in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized to realized gain or (loss) ratably over the term of the swap. Any unamortized upfront premiums are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gain or (loss). Some swaps may be terminated prior to the effective date and realize a gain or loss upon termination. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps during the period is included in the Statement of Operations.

Any open swaps at period end are included in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swaps" and are representative of volume of activity during the period.

Credit Default Swaps. Credit default swaps enable the Fund to buy or sell protection against specified credit events on a single-name issuer or a traded credit index. Under the terms of a credit default swap the buyer of protection (buyer) receives credit protection in exchange for making periodic payments to the seller of protection (seller) based on a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return for these payments, the seller will be required to make a payment upon the occurrence of one or more specified credit events. The Fund enters into credit default swaps as a seller to gain credit exposure to an issuer and/or as a buyer to obtain a measure of protection against defaults of an issuer. Periodic payments are made over the life of the contract by the buyer provided that no credit event occurs.

For credit default swaps on most corporate and sovereign issuers, credit events include bankruptcy, failure to pay or repudiation/moratorium. For credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issuers, the obligation that may be put to the seller is not limited to the specific reference obligation described in the Schedule of Investments. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by events such as failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade or write-down. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, the reference obligation described represents the security that may be put to the seller. For credit default swaps on a traded credit index, a specified credit event may affect all or individual underlying securities included in the index.

As a seller, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will pay a net settlement amount of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index. Only in the event of the industry's inability to value the underlying asset will the Fund be required to take delivery of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index and pay an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap.

As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will receive a net settlement amount of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index. Only in the event of the industry's inability to value the underlying asset will the Fund be required to deliver the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap.

Typically, the value of each credit default swap and credit rating disclosed for each reference obligation in the Schedule of Investments, where the Fund is the seller, can be used as measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap. As the value of the swap changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. In addition to these measures, the investment adviser monitors a variety of factors including cash flow assumptions, market activity and market sentiment as part of its ongoing process of assessing payment/performance risk.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $620,607 and $1,349,696, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .31% of the Fund's average net assets.

In addition, under the expense contract, the investment adviser pays class-level expenses for Investment Grade Bond, so that the total expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense, including commitment fees do not exceed .45% of the Class' average net assets. This agreement does not apply to any of the other classes and any change or modification that would increase expenses can only be made with shareholder approval.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution
Fee 
Service
Fee 
Total Fees Retained
by FDC 
Class A -% .25% $179 $1 
Class M -% .25% 56 --(a) 
Class C .75% .25% 271 30 
   $506 $31 

 (a) In the amount of less than five-hundred dollars.


Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, .75% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained
by FDC 
Class A $12 
Class M 
Class C(a) 
 $17 

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.


Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund, with the exception of Investment Grade Bond. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Investment Grade Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of
Class-Level Average
Net Assets 
Class A $123 .17 
Class M 45 .20 
Class C 51 .19 
Investment Grade Bond 8,614 .10 
Class I 949 .15 
 $9,782  

Fund Wide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fund Wide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), the investment adviser has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent Trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% of the Fund's average net assets less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent Trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .04% of average net assets.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $30 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $678.

9. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $22.

10. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

13. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in structured securities of issuers backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in each Class' annualized expense ratio. In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year were less than .005%.

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 16.15% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $131,080,351 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Manager Jeffrey Moore:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 0% to 1%. Most of these classes outpaced the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which advanced 0.49%. Owning higher-yielding, riskier assets, especially early in the period, helped. More specifically, the fund’s overweighting in investment-grade corporate bonds contributed to relative return, especially in the financial sector, where a focus on lower-quality bank bonds added value. Security selection in the energy industry also contributed. Investments in certain government-related bonds contributed versus the index, as well, with some of the strongest results coming from holdings in two state-owned oil companies: Pemex (Mexico) and Petrobras (Brazil). In contrast, it modestly hurt to have a roughly 6% allocation to cash, on average, which lagged the index. An underweighting in consumer non-cyclical bonds and security selection in the communications category also hampered results. We significantly scaled back our longtime in corporate bonds after the fourth quarter of 2016, redeploying more of the fund's assets into Treasuries, which at period end struck us as the better relative value.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M (formerly Class T), Class C, Investment Grade Bond and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

After the close of business on June 24, 2016, all outstanding Class B shares were converted to Class A shares. All prior fiscal period dollar and share amounts for Class B presented in the Notes to Financial Statements are for the period September 1, 2015 through June 24, 2016.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or institutional.fidelity.com ,as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, municipal securities, preferred securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from third party pricing vendors, registered derivatives clearing organizations (clearinghouses) or broker-supplied valuations. These pricing sources may utilize inputs such as interest rate curves, credit spread curves, default possibilities and recovery rates. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities and swaps may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities and swaps are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. The principal amount on inflation-indexed securities is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation and interest is accrued based on the principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to Interest in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, swaps, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $212,525 
Gross unrealized depreciation (76,401) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $136,124 
Tax Cost $10,533,729 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $2,332 
Capital loss carryforward $(49,615) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $136,125 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Fiscal year of expiration  
2018 $(49,615) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(49,615) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $195,690 $ 204,238 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including swaps. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns, to gain exposure to certain types of assets and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Credit Risk Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.
 

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain OTC derivatives such as bi-lateral swaps, the Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Fund the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement upon the deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty beyond specified levels. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party the right, upon an event of default by the other party or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net payable by one party to the other. To mitigate counterparty credit risk on bi-lateral OTC derivatives, the Fund receives collateral in the form of cash or securities once the Fund's net unrealized appreciation on outstanding derivative contracts under an ISDA Master Agreement exceeds certain applicable thresholds, subject to certain minimum transfer provisions. The collateral received is held in segregated accounts with the Fund's custodian bank in accordance with the collateral agreements entered into between the Fund, the counterparty and the Fund's custodian bank. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral even though it is held by the Fund's custodian bank. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to bi-lateral OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized appreciation and unpaid counterparty payments in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Fund. The Fund may be required to pledge collateral for the benefit of the counterparties on bi-lateral OTC derivatives in an amount not less than each counterparty's unrealized appreciation on outstanding derivative contracts, subject to certain minimum transfer provisions, and any such pledged collateral is identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives. The table below, which reflects the impacts of derivatives on the financial performance of the Fund, summarizes the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for derivatives during the period as presented in the Statement of Operations.

Primary Risk Exposure / Derivative Type Net Realized Gain (Loss) Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) 
Credit Risk   
Swaps $(905) $403 

A summary of the value of derivatives by primary risk exposure as of period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.

Swaps. A swap is a contract between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. A bi-lateral OTC swap is a transaction between a fund and a dealer counterparty where cash flows are exchanged between the two parties for the life of the swap.

Bi-lateral OTC swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the bi-lateral OTC swaps at value line items. Any upfront premiums paid or received upon entering a bi-lateral OTC swap to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap and prevailing market conditions (e.g. credit spreads, interest rates or other factors) are recorded in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized to realized gain or (loss) ratably over the term of the swap. Any unamortized upfront premiums are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gain or (loss). Some swaps may be terminated prior to the effective date and realize a gain or loss upon termination. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps during the period is included in the Statement of Operations.

Any open swaps at period end are included in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swaps" and are representative of volume of activity during the period.

Credit Default Swaps. Credit default swaps enable the Fund to buy or sell protection against specified credit events on a single-name issuer or a traded credit index. Under the terms of a credit default swap the buyer of protection (buyer) receives credit protection in exchange for making periodic payments to the seller of protection (seller) based on a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return for these payments, the seller will be required to make a payment upon the occurrence of one or more specified credit events. The Fund enters into credit default swaps as a seller to gain credit exposure to an issuer and/or as a buyer to obtain a measure of protection against defaults of an issuer. Periodic payments are made over the life of the contract by the buyer provided that no credit event occurs.

For credit default swaps on most corporate and sovereign issuers, credit events include bankruptcy, failure to pay or repudiation/moratorium. For credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issuers, the obligation that may be put to the seller is not limited to the specific reference obligation described in the Schedule of Investments. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by events such as failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade or write-down. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, the reference obligation described represents the security that may be put to the seller. For credit default swaps on a traded credit index, a specified credit event may affect all or individual underlying securities included in the index.

As a seller, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will pay a net settlement amount of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index. Only in the event of the industry's inability to value the underlying asset will the Fund be required to take delivery of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index and pay an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap.

As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will receive a net settlement amount of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index. Only in the event of the industry's inability to value the underlying asset will the Fund be required to deliver the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising an index in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap.

Typically, the value of each credit default swap and credit rating disclosed for each reference obligation in the Schedule of Investments, where the Fund is the seller, can be used as measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap. As the value of the swap changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. In addition to these measures, the investment adviser monitors a variety of factors including cash flow assumptions, market activity and market sentiment as part of its ongoing process of assessing payment/performance risk.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $620,607 and $1,349,696, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .31% of the Fund's average net assets.

In addition, under the expense contract, the investment adviser pays class-level expenses for Investment Grade Bond, so that the total expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense, including commitment fees do not exceed .45% of the Class' average net assets. This agreement does not apply to any of the other classes and any change or modification that would increase expenses can only be made with shareholder approval.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution
Fee 
Service
Fee 
Total Fees Retained
by FDC 
Class A -% .25% $179 $1 
Class M -% .25% 56 --(a) 
Class C .75% .25% 271 30 
   $506 $31 

 (a) In the amount of less than five-hundred dollars.


Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, .75% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained
by FDC 
Class A $12 
Class M 
Class C(a) 
 $17 

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.


Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund, with the exception of Investment Grade Bond. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Investment Grade Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of
Class-Level Average
Net Assets 
Class A $123 .17 
Class M 45 .20 
Class C 51 .19 
Investment Grade Bond 8,614 .10 
Class I 949 .15 
 $9,782  

Fund Wide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fund Wide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), the investment adviser has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent Trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% of the Fund's average net assets less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent Trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .04% of average net assets.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $30 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $678.

9. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $22.

10. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

13. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in structured securities of issuers backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in each Class' annualized expense ratio. In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year were less than .005%.

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 16.15% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $131,080,351 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Lead Portfolio Manager Robin Foley and Co-Portfolio Manager Rob Galusza:  We did fairly well for shareholders by keeping the fund positioned in sectors where we have high conviction. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2017, the fund’s share classes returned 1.11%, outperforming, net of fees, the 0.82% gain of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. Bond returns remained lackluster on an absolute basis, but the fund’s corporate holdings held up far better than Treasuries, which we underweighted. This positioning contributed to benchmark-relative performance. Within corporates, overweighting the bonds of financial institutions strongly added value, particularly banks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). To a lesser extent, overweighting the bonds of industrial companies contributed, particularly an overweighting among the bonds of energy companies. Conversely, an underweighting in technology and picks in the communications industry hurt slightly. Elsewhere, positioning along the yield curve was a plus, as was the decision to hold asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, while holding bonds of any sovereign governments slightly detracted.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swaps, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $65,719 
Gross unrealized depreciation (4,115) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $61,604 
Tax Cost $2,989,813 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Capital loss carryforward $(11,130) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $61,604 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Fiscal year of expiration  
2018  $(10,279) 
No expiration  
Short-term (851) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(11,130) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $68,692 $ 76,728 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $325,017 and $557,161, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .31% of the Fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of the Fund's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Fund Wide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fund Wide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), the investment adviser has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, compensation of the independent Trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% of the Fund's average net assets less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent Trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .04% of average net assets.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $10 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $32.

8. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $2.

9. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

10. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in structured securities of issuers backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,022.94 $2.29 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio. In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year less than .005%.

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 23.09% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $45,086,232 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Portfolio Manager Rob Galusza:  I think we did fairly well for shareholders by keeping the fund positioned in sectors where we have high conviction. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2017, the fund’s share classes returned about 0% to 1%. Most were roughly in line the 0.90% return of the benchmark, the Barclays U.S. 1–3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index. Spreads on corporate securities narrowed, driven in part by a strong technical backdrop. While the decline in spreads supported the performance of the corporate sector, it also made it more challenging to find attractive combinations of risk and return, particularly later in the period. In this environment, bond returns remained lackluster on an absolute basis, but the fund’s corporate holdings held up far better than Treasuries, which the fund underweighted. This positioning contributed to benchmark-relative performance. Within corporates, overweighting the bonds of financial institutions industrial companies added value. Conversely, picks in the energy and financials sectors hurt slightly. Positioning along the yield curve was another plus, as was the decision to hold asset-backed securities. However, not holding bonds of any sovereign governments slightly detracted.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M (formerly Class T), Class C, Short-Term Bond and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations, commercial paper, and other Short-Term securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, premium on debt securities, swaps, deferred trustees compensation, in-kind transactions, expiring capital loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $25,335 
Gross unrealized depreciation (16,907) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $8,428 
Tax Cost $6,133,864 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $1,724 
Capital loss carryforward $(142,198) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $8,428 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010(the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Fiscal year of expiration  
2018 $(142,198) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(142,198) 

The Fund intends to elect to defer to its next fiscal year $7,208 of capital losses recognized during the period November 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $71,099 $ 53,120 

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,650,412 and $2,188,411, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .31% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution
Fee 
Service
Fee 
Total Fees Retained
by FDC 
Class A -% .15% $289 $36 
Class M -% .15% 133 – 
Class C .75% .25% 765 73 
   $1,187 $109 

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50% for selling Class A and Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive a contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, .75% or .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained
by FDC 
Class A $23 
Class M 
Class C(a) 11 
 $36 

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.


Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund, with the exception of Short-Term Bond. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Short-Term Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of
Class-Level Average
Net Assets 
Class A $294 .15 
Class M 146 .16 
Class C 126 .16 
Short-Term Bond 5,598 .10 
Class I 659 .16 
 $6,823  

Fund Wide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fund Wide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), the investment adviser has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent Trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% of the Fund's average net assets less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent Trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .04% of average net assets.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $21 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is maintained at the Fund's custodian and/or invested in cash equivalents. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $130.

8. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $18.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

 Year ended

 (a) Share Transactions for Class A, Class M, Class C and Class I are for the period July 12, 2016 (commencement of sale of shares) to August 31, 2016.


11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers Short Duration Fund was the owner of record of 12% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

12. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in structured securities of issuers backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults.

13. Prior Fiscal Year Merger Information.

On July 15, 2016, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund ("Target Fund") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees ("The Board"). The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of shares of the Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Target Fund at their respective net asset value on the acquisition date. In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced sale on July 12, 2016. The reorganization provides shareholders of the Target Fund access to a larger portfolio with a similar investment objective. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. The Target Fund's net assets of $914,521, including securities of $919,868 and unrealized appreciation of $1,475, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $5,787,826 for total net assets after the acquisition of $6,702,347.

Pro forma results of operations of the combined entity for the entire period ended August 31, 2016, as though the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the year (rather than on the actual acquisition date), are as follows:

Net Investment income (loss) $ 64,343 
Total net realized gain (loss) 13,516 
Total change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 30,114 
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations $107,973 

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the acquired fund that have been included in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations since July 15, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Flex Short-Term Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is available only to certain fee-based accounts offered by Fidelity.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities and commercial mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $16,465 
Gross unrealized depreciation (453) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $16,012 
Tax Cost $5,042,582 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $5,298 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $16,012 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017(a) 
Ordinary Income $41,914 

 (a) For the period March 7, 2017 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2017.


Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $3,599,675 and $77,193, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services and the Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $5 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 100% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Flex Short-Term Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Flex Short-Term Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period from March 7, 2017 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Flex Short-Term Bond Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-835-5092.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 7, 2017 to August 31, 2017). The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Amount represents less than .005%.

 C Actual expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 178/365 (to reflect the period March 7, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

 D Amount represents less than $.005.

 E 5% return per year before expenses

 F Hypothetical expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).


Distributions (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Flex Short-Term Bond Fund voted to pay on October 16, 2017, to shareholders of record at the opening of business on October 13, 2017, a distribution of $0.012 per share derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities.

A total of 22.62% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Flex Short-Term Bond Fund

On January 18, 2017, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity, and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services.  The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operationscapabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services.  The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services to be performed by FMR, the sub-advisers (together with FMR, the Investment Advisers), and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment Performance.  The fund is a new fund and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at the time it approved the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board considered the Investment Advisers' strength in fundamental, research-driven security selection, which the Board is familiar with through its supervision of other Fidelity funds.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio  .The Board noted that the fund is available exclusively to retirement plans offered through certain Fidelity fee-based programs. The Board considered that while the fund does not pay a management fee, FMR is indirectly compensated for its services out of the program fee. The Board noted that FMR pays all operating expenses, with certain limited exceptions, on behalf of the fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's fee structure was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability.  The fund is a new fund and therefore no revenue, cost, or profitability data was available for the Board to review in respect of the fund at the time it approved the Advisory Contracts. In connection with its future renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders.

Economies of Scale.  The Board will consider economies of scale when there is operating experience to permit assessment thereof. It noted, however, that because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears most expenses of the fund, economies of scale cannot be realized by the fund.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields rose slightly early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then surged in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Manager Rob Galusza:  For the fiscal year, the fund returned 1.23%, net of fees, trailing the 1.59% return of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Bond Index. Sector allocation and security selection each slightly weighed on the fund's performance versus the benchmark. A non-benchmark stake of roughly 16%, on average, in U.S. Treasury securities hindered our relative result in an environment that largely favored spread sectors – particularly corporate bonds, which the fund underweighted. Within corporates, we had some unhelpful picks among financial institutions, especially banks. Choices among the bonds of energy companies slightly weighed on relative performance, as did an underweighting in this segment. Conversely, underweighting government-related bonds, many of which offered paltry yields, made a healthy relative contribution, as did avoiding the debt of foreign-government institutions. Lastly, underweighting government-related agency debentures added value.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Note to shareholders:  On September 30, 2017, Julian Potenza joined Rob Galusza as a Co-Manager of the fund, succeeding Robin Foley.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Series Short-Term Credit Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of the Fund are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as an investment manager. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, foreign government and government agency obligations, municipal securities, U.S. government and government agency obligations and commercial paper are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Asset backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to premium on debt securities, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $722,986 
Gross unrealized depreciation (246,923) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $476,063 
Tax Cost $192,720,816 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Capital loss carryforward $(203,618) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $476,063 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

No expiration  
Short-term  $(203,618) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $2,833,053 $ 2,081,688 
Long-term Capital Gains 63,032 – 
Total $2,896,085 $ 2,081,688 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $69,738,023 and $70,725,905, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Effective June 1, 2017, under the management contract approved by the Board and shareholders, Fidelity Management & Research (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. In addition, the investment adviser pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.

Prior to June 1, 2017, the investment adviser and its affiliates provided the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund paid a monthly management fee that was based on an annual rate of .35% of the Fund's average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser paid all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as transfer agent and interest expense, including commitment fees.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. Effective June 1, 2017, fees for these services are no longer charged to the Fund. Prior to June 1, 2017, FIIOC received account fees and asset-based fees that varied according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to .07% of average net assets.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $680 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $306.

8. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Series Short-Term Credit Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Series Short-Term Credit Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Series Short-Term Credit Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees overseas 246 Funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 Annualized Expense Ratio-A Beginning
Account Value
March 1, 2017 
Ending
Account Value
August 31, 2017 
Expenses Paid
During Period-B
March 1, 2017
to August 31, 2017 
Actual .23% $1,000.00 $1,011.50 $1.17-C 
Hypothetical-D  $1,000.00 $1,024.05 $1.17-C 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C If fees and changes to the Fund's expense contract and/or expense cap, effective June 1, 2017, had been in effect during the entire period, the restated annualized expense ratio would have been .01% and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $.05 and $.05, respectively.

 D 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 6.90% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds rose slightly for the 12 months ending August 31, 2017, as yields increased markedly following the U.S. presidential election then moderated as the period progressed. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.49% for the year. Bond yields posted slight gains early in the period, prior to the U.S. election, then rallied strongly in November and December, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the Fed’s decision in December to raise policy interest rates. Longer-term bond yields declined slightly in the first half of 2017, even though the Fed raised rates in June 2017 for the third time in as many quarters, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement. Fairly cool inflation readings also held back yields late in the period. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.13%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -0.95%. Securitized sectors advanced more modestly than corporates. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose 0.46%, according to Bloomberg Barclays.

Comments from Co-Portfolio Managers David Prothro and Matthew Bennett:  For the year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) posted gains of about 2% to 3%, net of fees, outpacing the 1.90% return of the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index. Security selection among banks and technology companies, along with favorable overall positioning in the recovering energy sector, fueled the fund's relative performance. Picks among electric utilities also aided relative results. Underweighting various government-related categories also helped, as these areas of the market underperformed corporate credit; in particular, not holding U.S. government-agency securities or bonds issued by supranational entities proved additive. On the downside, a combined stake in cash and U.S. Treasuries, held for liquidity and duration-management purposes, dampened relative performance, as did underweighting the strong-performing basic industry group within corporate bonds. As the period progressed, we sought to capitalize on market strength while also decreasing credit risk by reducing the fund’s high-yield bond allocation and trimming risk elsewhere. By period end, the fund was more conservatively positioned than it was a year ago.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2017

1. Organization.

Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M (formerly Class T), Class C, Corporate Bond and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.

Less than .005% 

 (a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.


An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or institutional.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank notes, municipal securities, preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of August 31, 2017 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $49,028,707 
Gross unrealized depreciation (3,990,085) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $45,038,622 
Tax Cost $1,146,609,935 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $97,824 
Capital loss carryforward $(8,275,355) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $45,038,622 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

No expiration  
Short-term $(5,745,835) 
Long-term (2,529,520) 
Total capital loss carryforward $(8,275,355) 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 
Ordinary Income $36,312,891 $ 34,329,909 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $344,620,295 and $346,420,756, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .35% of the Fund's average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees, and interest expense, including commitment fees.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution
Fee 
Service
Fee 
Total Fees Retained
by FDC 
Class A -% .25% $98,715 $3,710 
Class M -% .25% 23,164 – 
Class C .75% .25% 191,873 51,245 
   $313,752 $54,955 

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, .75% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained
by FDC 
Class A $10,931 
Class M 1,649 
Class C(a) 4,967 
 $17,547 

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.


Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund, with the exception of Corporate Bond. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Corporate Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of
Class-Level Average
Net Assets 
Class A $74,557 .19 
Class M 24,844 .27 
Class C 36,876 .19 
Corporate Bond 938,388 .10 
Class I 231,618 .15 
 $1,306,283  

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,806 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $411.

8. Distributions to Shareholders.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Salem Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Salem Street Trust) as of August 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Jonathan Chiel, each of the Trustees oversees 246 funds. Mr. Chiel oversees 142 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees.  In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Account Value

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,020.87 $4.38 
Class C 1.53%    
Actual  $1,000.00 $1,035.30 $7.85 
Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,017.49 $7.78

Actual  $1,000.00 $1,041.00 $2.31 
Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,022.94 $2.29 
Class I .50%    
Actual  $1,000.00 $1,040.70 $2.57 
Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,022.68 $2.55 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in each Class' annualized expense ratio. In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year were less than .005%.

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

A total of 2.53% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.

The fund designates $18,455,348 of distributions paid during the period January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017 as qualifying to be taxed as interest-related dividends for nonresident alien shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their  audits of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding their independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR’s review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.


Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

The trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.


The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (“Covered Service”) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.


All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence).
