Portfolio Turnover [Heading]	Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 19 % of the average value of its portfolio.

This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated and if you hold your shares:
Strategy [Heading]	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	Allocating the fund's assets among three main asset classes: the stock class (equity securities of all types, including funds that invest in such securities), the bond class (fixed-income securities of all types maturing in more than one year, including lower-quality debt securities which are sometimes referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds, and funds that invest in such securities), and the short-term/money market class (fixed-income securities of all types maturing in one year or less, including funds that invest in such securities). Maintaining a neutral mix over time of 30% of assets in stocks, 50% of assets in bonds, and 20% of assets in short-term and money market instruments. Adjusting allocation among asset classes gradually within the following ranges: stock class (20%-40%), bond class (40%-60%), and short-term/money market class (0%-50%). Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. Investing in Fidelity's Central funds (specialized investment vehicles used by Fidelity® funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines) and Fidelity's exchange-traded funds consistent with the asset classes discussed above.
