Going forward, Japan Smaller Companies' performance will be compared to Russell/Nomura Small Cap Index rather than the TOPIX Second Section Index because the Russell/Nomura Small Cap Index more closely represents the fund's investment strategy.

Russell/Nomura Small Cap Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks domiciled in Japan that measures the performance of small companies that represent approximately 15% of the total market capitalization of the largest investable Japanese securities.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of Japanese issuers, and other investments that are tied economically to Japan, with smaller market capitalizations. For purposes of this fund, FMR defines smaller market capitalization issuers as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell/Nomura Mid-Small Cap Index or the JASDAQ. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose capitalization is above this level after purchase continue to be considered to have a smaller market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in Japanese issuers with larger market capitalizations. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in a fund's NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
