A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.
