Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Freedom Income Fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Investing in a combination of Fidelity equity, fixed-income, and money market funds using a moderate asset allocation strategy designed for investors already in retirement.
  • Allocating assets among these underlying Fidelity funds according to a stable target asset allocation.
  • Using a target asset allocation as of March 31, 200<R>2</R> of approximately:



Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
  • Financial Services Exposure. Changes in government regulation and interest rates and economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the financial services sector.
  • <R>Technology Industry Concentration. The technology industries can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, and competition from new market entrants. A small number of companies represents a large portion of the technology industries as a whole, and these companies can be sensitive to adverse economic or regulatory developments.</R>
  • Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or the provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a money market security to decrease. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities <R>involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities </R>can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

Each Freedom Fund will not incur any sales charges, but it may incurredemption fees (trading fees), if applicable, when it invests in underlying Fidelity funds.

In addition to the total operating expenses shown above, each Freedom Fund, as a shareholder in an underlying Fidelity fund, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity fund, and each Freedom Fund's investment return will be net of underlying Fidelity fund expenses.

The combined total expense ratios of each Freedom Fund (calculated as a percentage of average net assets) are as follows:

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the Freedom Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that each Freedom Fund's annual return is 5%, that your shareholder fees are exactly as described in the fee table, and that each Freedom Fund's combined total expense ratio includes each Freedom Fund's annual operating expenses exactly as described in the fee table and the weighted average of the total operating expenses of each of the underlying Fidelity funds, before expense reimbursement and expense reductions. 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.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Each of Freedom 2000 Fund, Freedom 2010 Fund, Freedom 2020 Fund, Freedom 2030 Fund, and Freedom 2040 Fund seeks high total return.

Freedom Income Fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Strategic Advisers invests each Freedom Fund's assets in a combination of Fidelity funds: domestic and international equity funds, investment-grade and high yield fixed-income funds, and money market funds (underlying Fidelity funds). The Freedom Funds differ primarily due to their asset allocations among these fund types. The target asset allocation strategy for each Freedom Fund is designed to provide an approach to asset allocation that is neither overly aggressive nor overly conservative.

Strategic Advisers allocates the assets of each Freedom Fund with a target retirement date (Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040) among underlying Fidelity funds according to an asset allocation strategy that becomes increasingly conservative over time. Each fund's name refers to the approximate retirement year of the investors for whom the fund's asset allocation strategy is designed. For example, Freedom 2040 is designed for investors planning to retire around the year 2040. Freedom 2040, whose target retirement is approximately <R>38</R> years away, will start with a relatively aggressive target asset allocation, with a substantial portion of its assets invested in equity funds and a modest portion of its assets invested in fixed-income funds. By contrast, Freedom 2000, which has reached its target retirement year, has a conservative target asset allocation, with less than half of its assets invested in equity funds and the majority of its assets invested in fixed-income and money market funds.

Freedom Income is designed for investors in their retirement years. Strategic Advisers allocates the fund's assets according to a stable target asset allocation that emphasizes fixed-income and money market funds but also includes a small amount of equity funds.

The table below contains guidelines designed to help investors select an appropriate Freedom Fund. The guidelines are based on the year in which the investor anticipates his retirement to begin and assume a retirement age of 65.

The chart below illustrates each Freedom Fund's approximate target asset allocation among equity, fixed-income, and money market funds as of March 31, 200<R>2</R>. The chart also illustrates how these allocations may change over time. The Freedom Funds' target asset allocations may differ from this illustration.

When the target asset allocation of a Freedom Fund with a target retirement date matches Freedom Income's target asset allocation (approximately five to ten years after the fund's retirement date), it is expected that the fund will be combined with Freedom Income and the fund's shareholders will become shareholders of Freedom Income.

Strategic Advisers intends to manage each Freedom Fund according to its target asset allocation strategy, and does not intend to trade actively among underlying Fidelity funds or intend to attempt to capture short-term market opportunities. However, Strategic Advisers may modify the target asset allocation strategy for any Freedom Fund and modify the selection of underlying Fidelity funds for any Freedom Fund from time to time.

<R>As of June 1, 2002, Fidelity<M®>® High Income Fund will be added as an underlying high-yield fixed-income fund in which each Freedom Fund may invest.

Description of Underlying Fidelity Funds

Although the underlying Fidelity funds are categorized generally as equity (domestic or international), fixed-income (investment-grade or high yield), and money market funds, many of the underlying Fidelity funds may invest in a mix of securities of foreign and domestic issuers, investment-grade and high yield bonds, and other securities.

A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment.

FMR invests the fund's assets in companies <R>it</R> believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue. Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average price/earnings (P/E)<R> or price/book (P/B)</R> ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts<R> and exchange traded funds</R>, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR uses a disciplined approach that involves computer-aided, quantitative analysis supported by fundamental analysis. FMR's computer model systematically reviews thousands of stocks, using data such as historical earnings, dividend yield, earnings per share, and other quantitative factors. Then, the issuers of potential investments are analyzed further using fundamental factors such as growth potential, earnings estimates, and financial condition.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each Freedom Fund's performance. Each Freedom Fund's share price and Freedom Income's yield change<R>s</R> daily based on the performance of the underlying Fidelity funds in which it invests. The ability of each Freedom Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to its target asset allocation among underlying Fidelity funds and the ability of those funds to meet their investment objectives. When you sell your shares of a Freedom Fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect a Freedom Fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Prospectus

Interest Rate Changes. Debt and money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities, mortgage securities, and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates<R>,</R> and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations, and securities for which an entity located in a foreign country provides credit support or a maturity-shortening structure can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Geographic Concentration. Political and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country could significantly affect the market in that country and in surrounding or related countries.

Asia. Asia includes countries in all stages of economic development, from the highly developed economy of Japan to the emerging market economy of the People's Republic of China. Most Asian economies are characterized by over-extension of credit, currency devaluations and restrictions, rising unemployment, high inflation, decreased exports, and economic recessions. Currency devaluations in any one country can have a significant effect on the entire region. Recently, the markets in each Asian country have suffered significant downturns as well as significant volatility. Increased political and social unrest in some or all Asian countries could cause further economic and market uncertainty.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

The Japanese economy is currently in a recession. The economy is characterized by government intervention and protectionism, an unstable financial services sector, and relatively high unemployment. Economic growth is dependent on international trade, government support of the financial services sector and other troubled sectors, and consistent government policy. The United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, but close to half of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia.

The Southeast Asia economies are generally in recessions. Many of their economies are characterized by high inflation, undeveloped financial services sectors, and heavy reliance on international trade. Currency devaluations or restrictions, political and social instability, and deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in significant market downturns and volatility.

Europe. Europe includes both developed and emerging markets. Most developed countries in Western Europe are members of the European Union (EU), and many are also members of theEMU<R>,</R> which requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, and debt levels. Unemployment in Europe is historically high. Many Eastern European countries continue to move toward market economies. However, their markets remain relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. The tight fiscal and monetary controls necessary to join the EMU can significantly affect every country in Europe.

Financial Services Exposure. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

Industry Concentration. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments.

<R>The technology industries can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, and competition from new market entrants. The technology industries as a whole tend to be relatively concentrated in certain issuers. For example, as of July 31, 2001, Microsoft accounted for approximately 12.11% of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (NASDAQ) Composite Index.</R>

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

Prospectus

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Smaller issuers can have more limited product lines, markets, or financial resources. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.

"Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.

Quantitative Investing. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security's value. In addition, factors that affect a security's value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, Strategic Advisers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If Strategic Advisers does so, different factors could affect a Freedom Fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Freedom Income Fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.

Each of Freedom 2000 Fund, Freedom 2010 Fund, Freedom 2020 Fund, Freedom 2030 Fund, and Freedom 2040 Fund seeks high total return.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the <R>fund</R> is <R>not open for business</R>, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on <R>those days</R>. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The assets of each Freedom Fund consist primarily of shares of the underlying Fidelity funds, which are valued at their respective NAVs. Most underlying Fidelity fund assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations or on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security held by an underlying Fidelity fund or if the value of a security held by an underlying Fidelity fund has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. A money market underlying Fidelity fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

In addition, each fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

<R>A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.</R>

<R>For example, the funds do not permit market timing because </R>short-term or <R>other</R> 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, including exchanges,from market timers or investors <R>that</R>, 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.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV.

Prospectus

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account<R>,</R> your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell$10,000<R> or more</R> of shares;
  • You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
  • You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above $2,000 to keep your fund position open ($500 for fund balances in retirement accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if Strategic Advisers determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • Unless otherwise instructed, Fidelity will send a check to the record address.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds including each of the underlying Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • Each Freedom Fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
  • Each fund may refuse <R>any exchange purchases for any reason. For example,</R> <R>each fund may refuse</R> exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
  • Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
  • The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number, there may be additional requirements.

The funds may terminate or modify the exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Combination with Freedom Income Fund. Each Freedom Fund with a target retirement date may be combined with Freedom Income, without a vote of shareholders, if the funds' Board of Trustees determines at the time of the proposed combination that combining the funds is in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Prior to a combination, Fidelity will notify shareholders of a Freedom Fund with a target retirement date of the combination and any tax consequences.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

  • Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
  • Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing <R>fund</R> balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in <R>a</R> household holds shares of a fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 5000, Cincinnati, Ohio 45273-8692.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

Shareholder Information - continued

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000<R> ($500 for fund balances in retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in a fund's NAV</R>. 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 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.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each Freedom Fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each Freedom Fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each Freedom Fund with a target retirement date normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in May and December.

Freedom Income normally pays dividends monthly and pays capital gain distributions in May and December.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for each fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Prospectus

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, <R>certain of</R> each fund'sdistributions<R>, including dividends and distributions</R> of short-term capital gains<R>,</R> are taxable to you as ordinary income, while <R>certain of</R> each fund's distributions<R>, including distributions</R> of long-term capital gains<R>,</R> are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund Management

Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.

Strategic Advisers is each Freedom Fund's investment manager.

FMR, an affiliate of Strategic Advisers, is each underlying Fidelity fund's manager.

As of <R>March 28, 2002</R>, Strategic Advisers had approximately $<R>28.6 billion</R> in discretionary assets under management.

As of <R>March 28, 2002</R>, FMR had approximately <R>$13.6 billion</R> in discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, Strategic Advisers administers the asset allocation program for each Freedom Fund.

As the manager for the underlying Fidelity funds, FMR is responsible for choosing each fund's investments and handling their business affairs. FMR is also responsible for handling the business affairs for each Freedom Fund.

Ren Cheng is vice president and manager of the Freedom Funds<R>. H</R>e has held <R>this position </R>since their inception<R>s, which were October 1996 for the Income, 2000, 2010, 2020, and 2030 funds and September 2000 for the 2040 fund</R>. He also manages structured investments for Fidelity Management Trust Company. Mr. Cheng joined Fidelity<R> in 1994 </R>as a portfolio manager.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.

Each Freedom Fund pays a management fee to Strategic Advisers. The management fee is calculated and paid to Strategic Advisers every month.

Strategic Advisers is responsible for the payment of all other expenses of each Freedom Fund with limited exceptions.

Each Freedom Fund's annual management fee rate is 0.10% of its average net assets.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, <R>2002</R>, Freedom Income, Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 paid a management fee of 0.08% of the fund's average net assets, after reimbursement.

Strategic Advisers pays FMR an administration fee for handling the business affairs for each Freedom Fund.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management fees above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes each fund's shares.

Each Freedom Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that Strategic Advisers or FMR may use its management or administration fee revenues, respectively, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Freedom Fund shares and/or shareholder support services. Strategic Advisers or FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each Freedom Fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by Strategic Advisers or FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a Freedom Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

Strategic Advisers and FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each fund's financial history for<R> the past 5 years or, if shorter,</R> the period of the fund's operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by <R>PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP</R>, independent accountants, whose report<R>,</R> along with each fund's financial highlights and financial statements, is included in <R>the Freedom Funds'</R> annual report.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of a Freedom Fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the Freedom Fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the Freedom Fund's investment policies and limitations.

A Freedom Fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Investment Limitations ofFreedom Income<R>, </R>Freedom 2000<R>, </R>Freedom 2010<R>, </R>Freedom 2020<R>,</R> andFreedom 2030

The following are each fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. Each fund may not:

(1) With respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;

(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;

(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities<R> or in connection with investments in other investment companies</R>;

(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry (provided that investments in other investment companies shall not be considered an investment in any particular industry for purposes of this investment limitation);

(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities); or

(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements<R>, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments</R>.

(9) Each fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

(i) Each fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(ii) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iii) Each fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)).

(iv) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(v) Each fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) <R>assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of</R> loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities<R>,</R> to repurchase agreements<R>, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments</R>.)

(vi) Each fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

Investment Limitations ofFreedom 2040

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) With respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;

(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;

(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies;

(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities); or

(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements<R>, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments</R>.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)).

(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) <R>assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of</R> loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities<R>,</R> to repurchase agreements<R>, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments</R>.)

With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, each Freedom Fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the Freedom Funds' limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <Click Here>.

Notwithstanding the foregoing investment limitations, the underlying Fidelity funds in which the Freedom Funds may invest have adopted certain investment limitations that may be more or less restrictive than those listed above, thereby permitting a Freedom Fund to engage indirectly in investment strategies that are prohibited under the investment limitations listed above. The investment limitations of each underlying Fidelity fund are set forth in its SAI.

In accordance with each Freedom Fund's investment program as set forth in the prospectus, a Freedom Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in any one underlying Fidelity fund. However, each of the underlying Fidelity funds in which a Freedom Fund may invest (other than Fidelity Money Market Trust: Retirement Money Market Portfolio and Fidelity® OTC Portfolio) will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry, except thatRetirement Money Marketwill invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services industry andOTCwill invest more than 25% of its total assets in the technology industry.

Investment Practices of the Freedom Funds

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which a Freedom Fund may invest, strategies Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers) may employ in pursuit of a Freedom Fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. Strategic Advisers may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a Freedom Fund achieve its goal.

Borrowing. Each Freedom Fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements<R>,</R> or shares of money market<R> or short-term bond</R> funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market<R> or short-term bond</R> funds managed by FMR or its affiliates<R>.</R> <R>The money market central funds</R> seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The <R>money market central </R>funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. Also, the maturities of mortgage securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations, and some asset-backed securities are determined on a weighted average life basis, which is the average time for principal to be repaid. For a mortgage security, this average time is calculated by estimating the timing of principal payments, including unscheduled prepayments, during the life of the mortgage. The weighted average life of these securities is likely to be substantially shorter than their stated final maturity.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 IndexSM  (S&P 500®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. Each fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The funds intend to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the funds can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, each fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the funds' investments in futures contracts and options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR, on behalf of Strategic Advisers, determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's®<R> (S&P®)</R>, or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The Freedom Funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR on behalf of Strategic Advisers.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933<R> (the 1933 Act)</R>, or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The Freedom Funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR on behalf of Strategic Advisers. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by Strategic Advisers to be in good standing and when, in Strategic Advisers' judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. Strategic Advisers may rely on FMR's evaluation of the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

Temporary Defensive Policies. Each of the Freedom Funds reserves the right to invest without limitation inRetirement Money Marketfor temporary, defensive purposes.

Investment Practices of the Underlying Fidelity Funds

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which an underlying Fidelity fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of an underlying Fidelity fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help an underlying Fidelity fund achieve its goal.

<R>As of June 1, 2002, Fidelity High Income Fund will be added as an underlying high-yield fixed-income fund in which each Freedom Fund may invest.</R>

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the SEC, the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans, receivables<R>,</R> or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements<R>, </R>or shares of money market<R> or short-term bond</R> funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market<R> or short-term bond</R> funds managed by FMR or its affiliates<R>. The money market central funds</R> seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The <R>money market central </R>funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks<R>,</R> or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

<R>Country or Geographic Region. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied to a particular country or region including: whether the investment is issued or guaranteed by a particular government or any of its agencies, political subdivisions, or instrumentalities; whether the investment has its primary trading market in a particular country or region; whether the issuer is organized under the laws of, derives at least 50% of its revenues from, or has at least 50% of its assets in a particular country or region; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.</R>

Debt Securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. Also, the maturities of mortgage securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations, and some asset-backed securities are determined on a weighted average life basis, which is the average time for principal to be repaid. For a mortgage security, this average time is calculated by estimating the timing of principal payments, including unscheduled prepayments, during the life of the mortgage. The weighted average life of these securities is likely to be substantially shorter than their stated final maturity.

Domestic and Foreign Investments (money market fund only) include U.S. dollar-denominated time deposits, certificates of deposit, and bankers' acceptances of U.S. banks and their branches located outside of the United States, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and foreign branches of foreign banks. Domestic and foreign investments may also include U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. or foreign issuers, including U.S. and foreign corporations or other business organizations, foreign governments, foreign government agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and foreign financial institutions, including savings and loan institutions, insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and real estate investment trusts, as well as banks.

The obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks may <R>not</R> beobligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, <R>and</R> may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by governmental regulation. Payment of interest and repayment of principal on these obligations may also be affected by governmental action in the country of domicile of the branch (generally referred to as sovereign risk)<R> or by war or civil conflict</R>. In addition, evidence of ownership of portfolio securities may be held outside of the United States and a fund may be subject to the risks associated with the holding of such property overseas. Various provisions of federal law governing the establishment and operation of U.S. branches do not apply to foreign branches of U.S. banks.

Obligations of U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks may be general obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by federal and state regulation, as well as by governmental action in the country in which the foreign bank has its head office.

Obligations of foreign issuers involve certain additional risks. These risks may include future unfavorable political and economic developments, withholding taxes, seizures of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations, or other governmental restrictions that might affect repayment of principal or payment of interest, or the ability to honor a credit commitment. Additionally, there may be less public information available about foreign entities. Foreign issuers may be subject to less governmental regulation and supervision than U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers also generally are not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

<R>Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.</R>

<R>I</R>t is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository<R>,</R> or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions<R>,</R> and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund (other than the money market fund) may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Foreign Repurchase Agreements. Foreign repurchase agreements involve an agreement to purchase a foreign security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price in either U.S. dollars or foreign currency. Unlike typical U.S. repurchase agreements, foreign repurchase agreements may not be fully collateralized at all times. The value of a security purchased by a fund may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to repurchase the security. In the event of default by the counterparty, the fund may suffer a loss if the value of the security purchased is less than the agreed-upon repurchase price, or if the fund is unable to successfully assert a claim to the collateral under foreign laws. As a result, foreign repurchase agreements may involve higher credit risks than repurchase agreements in U.S. markets, as well as risks associated with currency fluctuations. In addition, as with other emerging market investments, repurchase agreements with counterparties located in emerging markets or relating to emerging markets may involve issuers or counterparties with lower credit ratings than typical U.S. repurchase agreements.

Funds' Rights as Investors. The funds do not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.

Futures and Options. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the S&P 500<R>, and some are based on Eurodollars</R>. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

Futures may be based on foreign indexes such as the Compagnie des Agents de Change 40 Index (CAC 40) in France, the Deutscher Aktienindex (DAX 30) in Germany, the Financial Times Stock Exchange Eurotop 100 Index (FTSE Eurotop 100) in Europe, the IBEX 35 Index (IBEX 35) in Spain, the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index (FTSE 100) in the United Kingdom, the Australian Stock Exchange All Ordinaries Index (ASX All Ordinaries) in Australia, the Hang Seng Indexin Hong Kong, and the Nikkei Stock Average (Nikkei 225), the Nikkei Stock Index 300 (Nikkei 300), and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) in Japan.

<R>Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.</R>

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Although futures exchanges generally operate similarly in the United States and abroad, foreign futures exchanges may follow trading, settlement<R>,</R> and margin procedures that are different from those for U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts traded outside the United States may involve greater risk of loss than U.S.-traded contracts, including potentially greater risk of losses due to insolvency of a futures broker, exchange member<R>,</R> or other party that may owe initial or variation margin to a fund. Because initial and variation margin payments may be measured in foreign currency, a futures contract traded outside the United States may also involve the risk of foreign currency fluctuation.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. Each fund (other than the money market fund) has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the <R>Commodity Futures Trading Commission (</R>CFTC<R>)</R> and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The funds intend to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the funds can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, each equity fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

In addition, each bond fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

Fidelity Government Income Fund further limits its options and futures investments to options and futures contracts relating to U.S. Government securities.

The above limitations on the equity and bond funds' investments in futures contracts and options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the characteristics of direct ownership.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, <R>S&P</R>, or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

<R></R>Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

Each fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see each fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

<R>A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R></R>Money Market Securities are high-quality, short-term obligations. Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and timing of distributions made by the funds.

Mortgage Securities are issued by government and non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security, the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from the same underlying mortgage.

Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress. Fannie Mae is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than government issues. Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages, usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase similar securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

Municipal Securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They may be issued in anticipation of future revenues and may be backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project, or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders. A municipal security may be owned directly or through a participation interest.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put features.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the <R>1933 Act</R>, or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets <R>and a fund's yield</R> and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including FBS LLC. FBS LLC is a member of theNYSEand an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. Others are continuously offered at net asset value, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Short Sales "Against the Box" (growth and money market funds) are short sales of securities that a fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding.

Short sales against the box could be used to protect the net asset value per share (NAV) of a money market fund in anticipation of increased interest rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities sold short. A money market fund will incur transaction costs in connection with opening and closing short sales against the box. A fund (other than the money market fund) will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Short Sales (growth & income and high yield funds). Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. Each fund currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

Sovereign Debt Obligations are issued or guaranteed by foreign governments or their agencies, including debt of Latin American nations or other developing countries. Sovereign debt may be in the form of conventional securities or other types of debt instruments such as loans or loan participations. Sovereign debt of developing countries may involve a high degree of risk, and may be in default or present the risk of default. Governmental entities responsible for repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal and pay interest when due, and may require renegotiation or rescheduling of debt payments. In addition, prospects for repayment of principal and payment of interest may depend on political as well as economic factors. Although some sovereign debt, such as Brady Bonds, is collateralized by U.S. Government securities, repayment of principal and payment of interest is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Stripped Securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are similar to those of other debt securities, although stripped securities may be more volatile, and the value of certain types of stripped securities may move in the same direction as interest rates. U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.

Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer deposits a U.S. Treasury security or other U.S. Government security with a custodian for safekeeping. The custodian issues separate receipts for the coupon payments and the principal payment, which the dealer then sells.

Because the SEC does not consider privately stripped government securities to be U.S. Government securities for purposes of Rule 2a-7, a fund must evaluate them as it would non-government securities pursuant to regulatory guidelines applicable to money market funds.

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CANADA

Political. Canada's parliamentary system of government is, in general, stable. However, from time to time, some provinces, but particularly Quebec, have called for a revamping of the legal and financial relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and the provinces. To date, referendums on Quebec sovereignty have been defeated, but the issue remains unresolved. The Supreme Court of Canada decided in August 1998 that if there was a "clear answer" to a "clear question" in a referendum, then the federal government would be obliged to negotiate with Quebec.

Economic. Canada is a major producer of commodities such as forest products, metals, agricultural products, and energy related products like oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. Accordingly, changes in the supply and demand of industrial and basic materials, both domestically and internationally, can have a significant effect on Canadian market performance.

In addition, Canada relies considerably on the health of the United States' economy, its biggest trading partner and largest foreign investor. The expanding economic and financial integration of the United States and Canada will likely make the Canadian economy and securities market increasingly sensitive to U.S. economic and market events.

Currency. Since Canada let its currency float in 1970, its value has been in a steady decline against the U.S. dollar. While the decline has helped Canada stay competitive in export markets, U.S. investors have seen their investment returns eroded by the impact of currency conversion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING EUROPE

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union (EU) fixed their currencies irrevocably to the euro, the new unit of currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). At that time each member's currency was converted at a fixed rate to the euro. Initially, use of the euro will be confined mainly to the wholesale financial markets, while its widespread use in the retail sector will follow the circulation of euro banknotes and coins on January 1, 2002. At that time, the national banknotes and coins of participating member countries will cease to be legal tender. In addition to adopting a single currency, member countries will no longer control their own monetary policies. Instead, the authority to direct monetary policy will be exercised by the new European Central Bank. On June 19, 2000, Greece's application for membership in the EMU was accepted by the EU Council of Ministers. This actionexpand<R>ed</R> the number of members of the EU's single currency area from eleven to twelve, effective January 1, 2001.

While economic and monetary convergence in the EU may offer new opportunities for those investing in the region, investors should be aware that the success of the union is not wholly assured. Europe must grapple with a number of challenges, any one of which could threaten the survival of this monumental undertaking. Eleven disparate economies must adjust to a unified monetary system, the absence of exchange rate flexibility, and the loss of economic sovereignty. The Continent's economies are diverse, its governments decentralized, and its cultures differ widely. Unemployment is historically high and could pose political risk. One or more member countries might exit the union, placing the currency and banking system in jeopardy. In September 2000, Danish voters rejected membership in the single European currency. The result of this vote has likely set back the plans of the Prime Ministers of Sweden and The United Kingdom to place a similar referendum on euro membership before their voters. Similarly, the Danish vote has been seen as giving a boost to the growing numbers of citizens of euro-zone countries who have grown disaffected with the weakened currency.

Political. For those countries in Western and Eastern Europe that were not included in the first round of the EU implementation, the prospects for eventual membership serve as a strong political impetus for many governments to employ tight fiscal and monetary policies. Particularly for the Eastern European countries, aspirations to join the EU are likely to push governments to act decisively.

At the same time, there could become an increasingly widening gap between rich and poor within the aspiring countries, those countries who are close to meeting membership criteria, and those who are not likely to join the EMU. Realigning traditional alliances could alter trading relationships and potentially provoke divisive socioeconomic splits. Despite relative calm in Western Europe in recent years, the risk of regional conflict or targeted terrorist activity could disrupt European markets.

In the transition to the single economic system, significant political decisions will be made which will effect the market regulation, subsidization, and privatization across all industries, from agricultural products to telecommunications.

Economic. As economic conditions across member states vary from robust to dismal, there is continued concern about national-level support for the currency and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among the eleven EMU member nations. According to the Maastricht treaty, member countries must maintain inflation below 3.3%, public debt below 60% of GDP, and a deficit of 3% or less of GDP to qualify for participation in the euro. These requirements severely limit member countries' ability to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions. Countries that did not qualify for the euro risk being left farther behind.

Foreign Trade. The EU has recently been involved in a number of trade disputes with major trading partners, including the United States. Tariffs and embargoes have been levied upon imports of agricultural products and meat that have resulted in the affected nation levying retaliatory tariffs upon imports from Europe. These disputes can adversely affect the valuations of the European companies that export the targeted products.

Currency. Investing in euro-denominated securities entails risk of being exposed to a new currency that may not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate economies that make up the EU. This has been the case in 1999,<R> 2000,</R> and the first ten months of <R>2001</R>, when the initial exchange rates of the euro versus many of the world's major currencies steadily declined. In this environment, U.S. and other foreign investors experienced erosion of their investment returns in the region. In addition, many European countries rely heavily upon export dependent businesses and any strength in the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

Nordic Countries. Faced with stronger global competition, the Nordic countries - Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden - have had to scale down their historically generous welfare programs, resulting in drops in domestic demand and increased unemployment. Major industries in the region, such as forestry, agriculture, and oil, are heavily resource-dependent and face pressure as a result of high labor costs. Pension reform, union regulation, and further cuts in liberal social programs will likely need to be addressed as the Nordic countries face increased international competition.

Eastern Europe. Investing in the securities of Eastern European issuers is highly speculative and involves risks not usually associated with investing in the more developed markets of Western Europe.

The economies of the Eastern European nations are embarking on the transition from communism at different paces with appropriately different characteristics. Most Eastern European markets suffer from thin trading activity, dubious investor protections, and often, a dearth of reliable corporate information. Information and transaction costs, differential taxes, and sometimes political or transfer risk give a comparative advantage to the domestic investor rather than the foreign investor. In addition, these markets are particularly sensitive to political, economic, and currency events in Russia and have recently suffered heavy losses as a result of their trading and investment links to the troubled Russian economy and currency.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JAPAN

Fueled by public investment, protectionist trade policies, and innovative management styles, the Japanese economy has transformed itself since World War II into the world's second largest economy. Despite its impressive history, investors face special risks when investing in Japan.

Economic. Since Japan's bubble economy collapsed a decade ago, the nation has drifted between modest growth and recession. By mid-year 1998, the world's second largest economy had slipped into its deepest recession since World War II. Much of the blame can be placed on government inaction in implementing long-neglected structural reforms despite strong and persistent prodding from the International Monetary Fund and the G7 member nations. Steps have been taken to deregulate and liberalize protected areas of the economy, but the pace of change has been disappointedly slow.

The most pressing need for action is the daunting task of overhauling the nation's financial institutions and securing public support for taxpayer-funded bailouts. Banks, in particular, must dispose of their huge overhang of bad loans and trim their balance sheets in preparation for greater competition from foreign institutions as more areas of the financial sector are opened. Successful financial sector reform would allow Japan's financial institutions to act as a catalyst for economic recovery at home and across the troubled Asian region.

Foreign Trade. Much of Japan's economy is dependent upon international trade. The country is a leading exporter of automobiles and industrial machinery as well as industrial and consumer electronics. While the United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, close to half of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia. For the past <R>four</R> years, Southeast Asia's economies have been mired in economic stagnation causing a steep decline in Japan's exports to the area. Japan's hope for economic recovery and renewed export growth is largely dependent upon the pace of economic recovery in Southeast Asia.

Natural Resource Dependency. An island nation with limited natural resources, Japan is also heavily dependent upon imports of essential products such as oil, forest products, and industrial metals. Accordingly, Japan's industrial sector and domestic economy are highly sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity prices. In addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S. dollars and any strength in the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

Natural Disasters. The Japanese islands have been subjected to periodic natural disasters including earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic disruption upon the nation's populace and industries.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASIA PACIFIC REGION (EX JAPAN)

Many countries in the region have historically faced political uncertainty, corruption, military intervention, and social unrest. Examples include the ethnic, sectarian, and separatist violence found in Indonesia, and the nuclear arms threats between India and Pakistan. To the extent that such events continue in the future, they can be expected to have a negative effect on economic and securities market conditions in the region.

Economic. The economic health of the region depends, in great part, on each country's respective ability to carry out fiscal and monetary reforms and its ability to address the International Monetary Fund's mandated benchmarks. The majority of the countries in the region can be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized economies, which tend to experience more volatile economic cycles than developed countries. In addition, a number of countries in the region have historically faced hyperinflation, a deterrent to productivity and economic growth.

Currency. Some countries in the region may impose restrictions on converting local currency, effectively preventing foreigners from selling assets and repatriating funds. While flexible exchange rates through most of the region should allow greater control of domestic liquidity conditions, the region's currencies generally face above-average volatility with potentially negative implications for economic and security market conditions.

Natural Disasters. The Asia Pacific region has been subjected to periodic natural disasters such as earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic disruption upon the populace and industry of the countries in that region.

China Region. As with all transition economies, China's ability to develop and sustain a credible legal, regulatory, monetary, and socioeconomic system could influence the course of outside investment. Hong Kong is closely tied to China, economically and through China's 1997 acquisition of the country as a Special Autonomous Region (SAR). Hong Kong's success depends, in large part, on its ability to retain the legal, financial, and monetary systems that allow economic freedom and market expansion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING LATIN AMERICA

As an emerging market, Latin America has long suffered from political, economic, and social instability. For investors, this has meant additional risk caused by periods of regional conflict, political corruption, totalitarianism, protectionist measures, nationalization, hyperinflation, debt crises, and currency devaluation. However, much has changed in the past decade. Democracy is beginning to become well established in some countries. A move to a more mature and accountable political environment is well under way. Domestic economies have been deregulated and have enjoyed sound levels of growth. Privatization of state-owned companies is almost completed. Foreign trade restrictions have been relaxed. Large fiscal deficits have been reduced and inflation controlled. Nonetheless, the volatile stock markets of 1998 have clearly demonstrated that investors in the region continue to face a number of potential risks.

Political. While investors recently have benefited from friendlier forms of government, the Latin American political climate is still vulnerable to sudden changes. Many countries in the region have been in recession and have faced high unemployment. Corruption remains part of the political landscape. This could lead to social unrest and changes in governments that are less favorable to investors. The investor friendly trends of social, economic, and market reforms seen over the past several years could be reversed.

Social Unrest. While recent reforms have begun to improve living conditions of many of the region's populations, Latin America continues to suffer from one of the most inequitable distributions of wealth in the world, as well as rampant delinquency and street crime. The recent reforms and the move to democracy, which were initially welcomed by the population, so far have been slow to significantly improve the living conditions of the majority of people. This could lead to social unrest, occasional labor strikes, rebellion, or civil war.

Economic. Many countries in the region have experienced periods of hyperinflation which adversely impacted and may continue to impact their economies and local stock markets. Despite signs that inflation has been tamed, the risk of hyperinflation persists.

Foreign Trade. One key to the recent economic growth in the region has been the reduction of trade barriers and a series of free-trade agreements. These are currently under pressure given the recent macro-economic imbalances between many trading partners. One example would be Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. As long as the economies perform well and the regimes maintain similar economic and currency policies, all will benefit from this agreement. However, the recent devaluation of Brazil's currency, combined with recessions in the region, has created tension between the largest trading partners, Brazil and Argentina. This could threaten the pace of vital trade integration and regional economic stability.

Currency. As is typical of emerging markets, Latin America has a long history of currency devaluation, evidenced by the Mexican peso crisis and the more recent Brazilian devaluation. The region remains exposed to currency speculators, particularly if the economic or political conditions worsen. Countries where the currency is artificially pegged to the dollar are most at risk. For example, predatory speculation may shift to Argentina if the cost of maintaining the currency board reaches an unsustainable level given the negative impact of the Brazilian devaluation, the economic recession, the deterioration of the foreign trade balances, and the mounting fiscal deficit.

Sovereign Debt. Although austerity programs in many countries have significantly reduced fiscal deficits, the region is still facing significant debt. Interest on the debt is subject to market conditions and may reach levels that would impair economic activity and create a difficult and costly environment for borrowers. In addition, governments may be forced to reschedule or freeze their debt repayment, which could negatively impact the stock market.

Natural Resources Dependency. Commodities such as agricultural products, minerals, and metals account for a significant percentage of exports of many Latin American countries. As a result, these economies have been particularly sensitive to the fluctuation of commodity prices. As an example, Chile has been affected by the change in the prices of copper and pulp, which has adversely affected its economy and stock market. Similarly, because the U.S. is Mexico's largest trading partner - accounting for more than four-fifths of its exports - any economic downturn in the U.S. economy could adversely impact the Mexican economy and stock market.

Natural Disasters. The region has been subjected to periodic natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. These events have often inflicted substantial damage upon the populations and the economy. More recently, weather disorders attributed to the "El Nino" effect have placed a serious drag on the economy of some countries, such as Peru and Ecuador.

Financial Reporting Standards. Local rules governing local financial reporting have become more strict in recent years and many companies have gained listing on the NYSE or <R>National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (</R>NASDAQ®<R>)</R> which requires compliance with U.S. reporting standards. Nevertheless, rules for disclosing financial information by companies listed on local exchanges are less stringent than those of the U.S., which increases the difficulty of accessing reliable and viable information.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING RUSSIA

Investing in Russian securities is highly speculative and involves greater risks than generally encountered when investing in the securities markets of the U.S. and most other developed countries. Over the past century, Russia has experienced political and economic turbulence and has endured decades of communist rule under which tens of millions of its citizens were collectivized into state agricultural and industrial enterprises. For most of the past decade, Russia's government has been faced with the daunting task of stabilizing its domestic economy, while transforming it into a modern and efficient structure able to compete in international markets and respond to the needs of its citizens. However, to date, many of the country's economic reform initiatives have floundered as the proceeds of <R>IMF</R> and other economic assistance have been squandered or stolen. In this environment, there is always the risk that the nation's government will abandon the current program of economic reform and replace it with radically different political and economic policies that would be detrimental to the interests of foreign investors. This could entail a return to a centrally planned economy and nationalization of private enterprises similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union. As recently as 1998, the government imposed a moratorium on the repayment of its international debt and the restructuring of the repayment terms.

Foreign investors also face a high degree of currency risk when investing in Russian securities. In a surprise move in August 1998, Russia devalued the ruble, defaulted on short-term domestic bonds, and declared a moratorium on commercial debt payments. In light of these and other recent government actions, foreign investors face the possibility of further devaluations. In addition, there is the risk the government may impose capital controls on foreign portfolio investments in the event of extreme financial or political crisis. Such capital controls would prevent the sale of a portfolio of foreign assets and the repatriation of proceeds.

Many of Russia's businesses have failed to mobilize the available factors of production because the country's privatization program virtually ensured the predominance of the old management teams that are largely non-market-oriented in their management approach. A combination of poor accounting standards, inept management, endemic corruption, and limited shareholder rights pose a significant risk, particularly to foreign investors.

Compared to most national stock markets, the Russian securities market suffers from a variety of problems not encountered in more developed markets. Among these are thin trading activity, inadequate regulatory protection for the rights of investors, and lax custody procedures. Additionally, there is a dearth of solid corporate information available to investors.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent upon the export of a range of commodities including most industrial metals, forestry products, oil, and gas. Accordingly, it is strongly affected by international commodity prices and is particularly vulnerable to any weakening in global demand for these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING AFRICA

Africa is a highly diverse and politically unstable continent of over 50 countries and 840 million people. Civil wars, coups, and even genocidal warfare have beset much of this region in recent years. Nevertheless, the continent is home to an abundance of natural resources, including natural gas, aluminum, crude oil, copper, iron, bauxite, cotton, diamonds, and timber. Wealthier African countries generally have strong connections to European partners; evidence of these relationships is seen in the growing market capitalization and foreign investment. Economic performance remains closely tied to world commodity markets, particularly oil, as well as agricultural conditions, such as drought.

Several Northern African countries have substantial oil reserves and, accordingly, their economies react strongly to world oil prices. They share a regional and sometimes religious identification with the oil producing nations of the Middle East and can be strongly affected by political and economic developments in those countries. As in the south, weather conditions have a strong impact on many of their natural resources, as was the case in 1995, when severe drought adversely affected economic growth.

Several African countries have active equity markets, many established since 1989. The oldest market, in Egypt, was established in 1883, while the youngest, in Zambia, was established in 1994. The mean age for all equity markets is 40 years old. A total of 2,041 firms are listed on the respective exchanges. With the exception of the relatively large and liquid South African stock market, sub-Saharan Africa is probably the riskiest of all the world's emerging markets.

During the past two decades, sub-Saharan Africa has lagged behind other developing regions in economic growth. The area attracts only a modest share of foreign direct investment and remains highly dependent on foreign aid. The financial markets are small and underdeveloped and offer little regulatory protection for investors. Except for South Africa, the most fundamental problem in all of the countries in the region is the absence of an effective court system to ensure the enforceability of contracts. Investors in the area generally face a high risk of continuing political and economic instability as well as currency exchange rate volatility.

South Africa. South Africa has a highly developed and industrialized economy. It is rich in mineral resources and is the world's largest producer and exporter of gold. The nation's new government has made remarkable progress in consolidating the nation's peaceful transition to democracy and in redressing the socioeconomic disparities created by apartheid. It has a sophisticated financial structure with a large and active stock exchange that ranks 20th in the world in terms of market capitalization. Nevertheless, investors in South Africa face a number of risks common to other developing regions. The nation's heavy dependence upon the export of natural resources makes its economy and stock market vulnerable to weak global demand and declines in commodity prices. The country's currency reserves have been a constant problem and its currency can be vulnerable to devaluation. There is also the risk that ethnic and civic conflict could result in the abandonment of many of the nation's free market reforms to the detriment of shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities (normally, shares of the underlying Fidelity funds) are placed on behalf of each Freedom Fund by Strategic Advisers, either itself or through its affiliates, pursuant to authority contained in each Freedom Fund's management contract. A Freedom Fund will not incur any commissions or sales charges when it invests in underlying Fidelity funds, but it may incur such costs if it invests directly in other types of securities.

Strategic Advisers may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. <R>If</R> selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of Strategic Advisers), Strategic Advisers generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because a fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When a fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The Freedom Funds may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced Strategic Advisers' normal research activities in providing investment advice to the funds. Strategic Advisers' expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services Strategic Advisers may receive from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, Strategic Advisers may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While Strategic Advisers may take into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither Strategic Advisers nor a fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for a fundmay receive commissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing a fund to pay such higher commissions, Strategic Advisers will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or Strategic Advisers' overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist Strategic Advisers or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

Strategic Advisers is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. Strategic Advisers may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS) and Fidelity Brokerage Services Japan LLC (FBSJ), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. Strategic Advisers may also place trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook) <R>and Archipelago ECN (Archipelago)</R>, electronic communication network<R>s</R> (ECN<R>s</R>) in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services.

The Trustees of each fund periodically review Strategic Advisers' performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Freedom Funds, respectively, and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

Freedom Income's, Freedom 2000's, Freedom 2010's, Freedom 2020's, Freedom 2030's, and Freedom 2040's turnover rates for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 200<R>2</R> and 200<R>1</R> are presented in the table below.

A fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended March 31, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000, Freedom Income, Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, and Freedom 2030</R> paid no brokerage commissions.

<R>For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, Freedom Income, Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services.</R>

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the funds could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the Freedom Funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of each Freedom Fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by Strategic Advisers or its affiliates, investment decisions for each Freedom Fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts managed by Strategic Advisers or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, or an affiliate thereof, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds <R>or investment accounts </R>are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable <R>to</R> each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining Strategic Advisers as investment adviser to each Freedom Fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

Each fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

The assets of each Freedom Fund consist primarily of shares of the underlying Fidelity funds, which are valued at their respective NAVs.

Valuation of Underlying Fidelity Funds

Growth and Growth & Income Funds. Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the funds may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by a fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

Taxable Bond Funds. Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the funds may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used.

In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

Money Market Fund. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price the fund would receive if it sold the instrument.

Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from the fund's amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.

PERFORMANCE

The Freedom Funds and the underlying Fidelity funds may quote performance in various ways, and the Freedom Funds may quote the performance of various underlying Fidelity funds. All performance information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The share price of a bond or equity fund, the yield, if applicable, of a bond, money marketor equity fund, and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of an equity or bond fund's shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost. The following paragraphs describe how yield and return are calculated by the Freedom Funds and the underlying Fidelity funds.

Yield Calculations (Freedom Income). The yield for Freedom Income is the asset-weighted average of the yields of the underlying Fidelity funds in which it invests, reduced by Freedom Income's expenses. The asset-weighted yield is calculated by multiplying the yield of each underlying fund by the value of Freedom Income's investment in that fund, adding together the results, dividing the sum by Freedom Income's total net assets and then subtracting the annualized expenses of Freedom Income. The asset-weighted yield is currently calculated once a month as of the last day of the prior month. In those cases where a yield is not published for an underlying fund, that fund's yield is assumed to be zero for purposes of this calculation.

Yield Calculations (Money Market Fund).To compute the yield for the money market fund for a period, the net change in value of a hypothetical investment in one share reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. The money market fund also may calculate an effective yield by compounding the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to the current yield, the money market fund may quote yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for the money market fund are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as required by applicable regulation.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Yield Calculations (Bond and Equity Funds). Yields for a fund are computed by dividing a fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's NAV or offering price, as applicable at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflectCapital & Income<R>'</R>s <R>and High Income's</R> trading fee orDiversified International<R>'</R>s,Europe<R>'</R>s,Japan<R>'</R>s,Mid-Cap Stock<R>'</R>s,Overseas<R>'</R>, andSoutheast Asia<R>'</R>s short-term trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. Dividends from equity securities are treated as if they were accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. For a fund's investments denominated in foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one month period, whichever is earlier. Income is adjusted to reflect gains and losses from principal repayments received by a fund with respect to mortgage-related securities and other asset-backed securities. Other capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating a fund's yield differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, a fund's yield may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to an investor's <R>account</R>, or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing a fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, a fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates a fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates a fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing a fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in a fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years.While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that a fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of a fund.

In addition to average annual returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax <R>and an</R> after-tax basis.Returns may or may not include the effect of a fund's trading fee, the effect of a fund's maximum sales charge, or the effect of a fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding a fund's trading fee, sales charge, or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns, yields, if applicable, and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using a fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by a fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, a fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Moving Averages. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. The 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages for Freedom Income, Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 are shown in the table below.

<R>After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.</R>

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Freedom Income on October 17, 1996, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $<R>13,760</R>. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to $<R>2,610</R> for dividends and $<R>630 </R>for capital gain distributions.

<R>A hypothetical $10,000 investment in Freedom 2000 on October 17, 1996 (commencement of operations) would have been valued on March 31, 2002 at $15,852.</R>

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Freedom 2000 on October 17, 1996, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $<R>14,512</R>. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to $<R>2,370</R> for dividends and $<R>1,550</R> for capital gain distributions.

Performance Comparisons. A fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, a fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.

A fund's performance may also be compared to that of each benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of each index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in each index. Unlike a fund's returns, however, each index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

Each of the Freedom Funds may compare its performance to that of the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a market value-weighted index for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities. Issues included in the index have an outstanding par value of at least $100 million and maturities of at least one year. Government and corporate issues include all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury (excluding flower bonds and foreign-targeted issues) and U.S. Government agencies, as well as nonconvertible investment-grade, SEC-registered corporate debt. Mortgage-backed securities include 15- and 30-year fixed-rate securities backed by mortgage pools of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and Fannie Mae. Asset-backed securities include credit card, auto, and home equity loans.

Each of Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 may compare its performance to that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.

Each Freedom Fund may compare its performance to that of a target asset allocation composite index. Each of Fidelity Freedom Income Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2000 Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2010 Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2020 Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2030 Composite Index, and Fidelity Freedom 2040 Composite Index is a representation of the performance of the asset classes (domestic and international equity funds, investment grade and high yield fixed-income funds, and money market funds) in which a Freedom Fund is invested and is based on the weightings of each asset class in a Freedom Fund. The following indexes are used to calculate the target asset allocation composite indexes: Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (Wilshire 5000) for the domestic equity fund class, Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (MSCI EAFE®) Index for the international equity fund class, Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the investment grade fixed-income fund class, Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index for the high yield fixed-income fund class, and Lehman Brothers 3-Month Treasury Bill Index for the money market fund class. The index weightings of each target asset allocation composite index are rebalanced monthly.

The index weightings in the Fidelity Freedom 2000 Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2010 Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2020 Composite Index, Fidelity Freedom 2030 Composite Index, and Fidelity Freedom 2040 Composite Index, are adjusted semi-annually to reflect the changing asset allocations of the Freedom Funds with target retirement dates. On June 30 of each calendar year, the index weightings will be adjusted to reflect the average of a Freedom Fund's actual asset allocation as of March 31 and its projected target asset allocation as of September 30, as reported in each Freedom Fund's annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31. On December 31, the index weightings will be adjusted to reflect a Freedom Fund's actual asset allocation as of September 30 and its projected target asset allocation as of March 31, as reported in each Freedom Fund's semi-annual report for the period ended September 30.

The index weightings in the Fidelity Freedom Income Composite Index are not adjusted semi-annually, as Freedom Income maintains a stable asset allocation strategy.

Each of the Freedom Funds may compare its performance to that of the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index (Wilshire 500<R>0</R>), a market capitalization-weighted index of approximately 7,000 U.S. equity securities which contains all actively traded common stocks with readily available price data traded on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and NASDAQ.

Each of the Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 may compare its performance to that of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index, a market capitalization-weighted index <R>of over 1,000 equity securities of companies domiciled in 21 countries</R> that is designed to represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada.The index returns for periods after January 1, 1997 are adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based mutual funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts. Effective October 1, 1998, the country of Malaysia was removed from this index. The index returns reflect the inclusion of Malaysia prior to October 1, 1998. Stocks are selected for this index on the basis of industry representation, liquidity, sufficient float, and avoidance of cross-ownership.

Each of Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 may compare its performance to that of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. Issues must have an outstanding par value of at least $50 million to be included in the index.

Each of Freedom Income, Freedom 2000, and Freedom 2010 may compare its performance to <R>that of</R> the Lehman Brothers 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, a representation of the average of T-Bill rates for each of the prior three months, adjusted to a bond equivalent yield basis (short-term instruments).

A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus®, a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

A fund may present its fund number, Quotron® number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. A fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare a fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, a fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.

Momentum Indicators indicate a fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents a fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

A fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of March 31, 200<R>2</R>, FMR advised over $<R>47</R> billion in municipal fund assets, $<R>187</R> billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $<R>190 </R>billion in money market fund assets, $<R>510</R> billion in equity fund assets, and $<R>20</R> billion in international fund assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

Each Freedom Fund may reference, illustrate, or discuss the performance of the underlying Fidelity funds.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

A fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if Strategic Advisers determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. A portion of each Freedom Fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that each Freedom Fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends or from the qualifying portion of dividends from an underlying Fidelity fund. For each Freedom Fund and for those underlying Fidelity funds that may earn other types of income that do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders, such as interest, short-term capital gains (including short-term capital gains distributed by an underlying Fidelity fund as a dividend as well as short-term capital gains earned on the sale of underlying Fidelity fund shares or other securities), and non-qualifying dividends, the percentage of fund dividends that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. A portion of each Freedom Fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities, including the portion of dividends from an underlying Fidelity fund derived from certain U.S. Government securities, and securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from state and local taxation.

Capital Gain Distributions. Each Freedom Fund's long-term capital gain distributions, including amounts attributable to an underlying Fidelity fund's long-term capital gain distributions, are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

<R>As of </R>March 31, 2002, Freedom Income had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $249,000. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on March 31, 2010, is available to offset future capital gains.

<R>As of </R>March 31, 2002, Freedom 2000 had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $4,272,000. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on March 31, 2010, is available to offset future capital gains.

<R>As of </R>March 31, 2002, Freedom 2010 had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $8,177,000. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on March 31, 2010, is available to offset future capital gains.

<R>As of </R>March 31, 2002, Freedom 2020 had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $8,864,000. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on March 31, 2010, is available to offset future capital gains.

<R>As of </R>March 31, 2002, Freedom 2030 had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $8,891,000. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on March 31, 2010, is available to offset future capital gains.

Returns of Capital. If a fund's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.

Tax Status of the Funds. Each Freedom Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, each Freedom Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Five to ten years after a Freedom Fund with a target retirement date reaches its target retirement year, its asset allocation target is expected to match Freedom Income Fund's asset allocation target. It is expected that at such time the assets of the Freedom Fund with a target retirement date will be combined with the assets of Freedom Income Fund. The Trustees reserve the right to engage in such transactions in the best interests of the funds, taking into account then existing laws and regulations. The trust's Trust Instrument empowers the Trustees to take these actions with or without seeking shareholder approval. A combination of assets may result in a capital gain or loss for shareholders of a Freedom Fund with a target retirement date.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting each Freedom Fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a Freedom Fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

The Trusteesand executive officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each Freedom Fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each Freedom Fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each Freedom Fund, and review each Freedom Fund's performance.If the interests of a Freedom Fund and an underlying Fidelity fund were to diverge, a conflict of interest could arise and affect how the Trusteesfulfill their fiduciary duties to the affected funds. Strategic Advisers has structured the Freedom Funds to avoid these potential conflicts, although there may be situations where a conflict of interest is unavoidable. In such instances, Strategic Advisers<R> and</R> the Trusteeswould take reasonable steps to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the conflict. Except for William O. McCoy and William S. Stavropoulos, each of the Trustees oversees 261 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. McCoy oversees 263 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate, and Mr. Stavropoulos oversees 192 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.

<R>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. The executive officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer 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.</R>

<R>The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann serving as Chairman.

Gates (Chairman) and Kirk and Ms. Knowles), and the Select Committee (composed of Ms. Davis (Chairman) and Messrs. Cook and Stavropoulos). Each committee's members confer periodically and normally meet monthly. Each committee oversees investment advisory services provided by FMR to the relevant funds and monitors the investment objectives, policies, and practices of the relevant Fidelity funds.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the committee held four meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Kirk (Chairman), Gates, and Lautenbach and Ms. Knowles. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more often as required, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the committee held four meetings.</R>

<R>The Nominating and Administration Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chairman), Cox, and Gates. The committee members confer periodically and hold meetings as required. The committee makes nominations for non-interested Trustees, for Members of the Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee periodically reviews procedures and policies of the Board of Trustees and its committees and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. It acts as the administrative committee under the Retirement Plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It monitors the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee monitors compliance with, and acts as the administrator of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The Nominating and Administration Committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders. Recommendations should be submitted to the committee in care of the Secretary of the Fidelity funds. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the committee held no meetings.</R>

<R>** During the period from November 1, 2000 through June 12, 2001, Mr. Stavropoulos served as a Member of the Advisory Board. Effective June 13, 2001, Mr. Stavropoulos serves as a Member of the Board of Trustees.</R>

A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 200<R>1</R> for 2<R>64</R> funds <R>of 56 trusts </R>in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 200<R>1</R>, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: <R>J. Michael Cook, $111,000;</R> Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; <R>Marie L. Knowles, $111,000;</R> Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $<R>141,000</R>; William O. McCoy, $111,000; <R>and William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734</R>. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: <R>J. Michael Cook, $30,723;</R> Ralph F. Cox, $<R>30,723</R>; Ned C. Lautenbach, $<R>38,103</R>; <R>and </R>William O. McCoy, $<R>38,103</R>.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

<R>As of March 31, 2002, the Trustees and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund's total outstanding shares.</R>

<R>As of March 31, 2002, the following owned of record or beneficially 5% or more (up to and including 25%) of Freedom 2000's and Freedom 2040's outstanding shares:</R>

<R>Freedom 2000: Reformed Church in America, New York, NY (9.80%). </R>

<R>Freedom 2040: Albertson's, Inc., Boise, ID (6.93%).</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR and Strategic Advisers. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

<R>F</R>MR, Strategic Advisers <R>(the Investment Advisers)</R>, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC)<R>, and the funds</R> have adopted a code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that sets forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures for personal investing, and restricts certain transactions. Employees subject to the code of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the funds.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Each Freedom Fund has entered into a management contract with Strategic Advisers, pursuant to which Strategic Advisers furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with each fund, Strategic Advisers acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. Strategic Advisers is authorized, in its discretion, to allocate each fund's assets among the underlying Fidelity funds in which the fund may invest. Strategic Advisers also provides each fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments and compensates all personnel of each fund or Strategic Advisers performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

Strategic Advisers in turn has entered into administration agreements with FMR on behalf of each Freedom Fund. Under the terms of each administration agreement, FMR or its affiliates provide the management and administrative services (other than investment advisory services) necessary for the operation of each Freedom Fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. Under the terms of each Freedom Fund's management contract, Strategic Advisers, either itself or through an affiliate, is responsible for payment of all operating expenses of each Freedom Fund with certain exceptions. Under the terms of each administration agreement, FMR pays all management and administrative expenses (other than investment advisory expenses) for which Strategic Advisers is responsible. Specific expenses payable by FMR include expenses for typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of the custodian and auditor, and each fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues. Each administration agreement further provides that FMR will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each Freedom Fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears <R>these costs</R>. In addition, FMR compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trust, Strategic Advisers, or FMR. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services, pricing and bookkeeping services, and the cost of administration of each Freedom Fund's securities lending program.

Each Freedom Fund pays the following expenses: fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees, interest on borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), shareholder charges (if any) associated with investing in the underlying Fidelity funds, and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify the officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fees. For the services of Strategic Advisers under each management contract, each Freedom Fund pays Strategic Advisers a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of its average net assets throughout the month. The management fee paid to Strategic Advisers by each Freedom Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by each Freedom Fund to the non-interested Trustees.

For the services of FMR under each administration agreement, Strategic Advisers pays FMR a monthly administration fee equal to the monthly management fee received by Strategic Advisers from each Freedom Fund, minus an amount equal to an annual rate of 0.02% of that fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The following table shows the amount of management fees paid by each Freedom Fund to Strategic Advisers for the past three fiscal years, and the amount of credits reducing management fees for each fund.

* After reduction of fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested Trustees.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a Freedom Fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, shareholder charges, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase each Freedom Fund's returns and yield and repayment of the reimbursement by each fund will lower its returns and yield.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Freedom Income, Freedom 2000, Freedom 2010, Freedom 2020, Freedom 2030, and Freedom 2040 if and to the extent that its aggregate operating expenses, including management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of its average net assets. The table below shows the periods of reimbursement and levels of expense limitations; the dollar amount of management fees incurred under each fund's contract before reimbursement; and the dollar amount of management fees reimbursed by FMR under the expense reimbursement for each period.

<R>BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS</R>

<R>Matters Considered by the Board.</R> The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on each fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and administration agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of each fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of each fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of each fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of each fund's assets, (4) the allocation of each fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with each fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with each fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including each fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R></R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of each fund's portfolio manager and each fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and sub-custodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered each fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including each fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of a fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of a fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of a fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to a fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and excluding marketing expenses.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by each fund and each fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Each Freedom Fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of Strategic Advisers and FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of each fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by Strategic Advisers or FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of each Freedom Fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the Freedom Funds, Strategic Advisers and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the Freedom Funds to Strategic Advisers, or the payment of administration fees by Strategic Advisers to FMR out of the management fees, is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan specifically recognizes that Strategic Advisers or FMR may use its past profits or its other resources, including management fees paid to Strategic Advisers by the funds, or administration fees paid to FMR by Strategic Advisers out of the management fees, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Freedom Fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, each Plan provides that Strategic Advisers or FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for the Freedom Funds.

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit each Freedom Fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the Freedom Funds other than those made to Strategic Advisers under its management contract with each fund. To the extent that each Plan gives Strategic Advisers, FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

Each Freedom Fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

Each Freedom Fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of Strategic Advisers and FMR. Under the terms of the agreements, FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for each Freedom Fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives no fees from each Freedom Fund; however, each underlying Fidelity fund pays its respective transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent (either FIIOC or an affiliate of FIIOC) fees based, in part, on the number of <R>positions</R> in and assets of each Freedom Fund invested in such underlying Fidelity fund.

FIIOC also collects fees <R>charged</R> in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

Each Freedom Fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC, an affiliate of Strategic Advisers and FMR. Under the terms of the agreements, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for each Freedom Fund, maintains each Freedom Fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers each Freedom Fund's securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on each Freedom Fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

For administering each Freedom Fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

FMR bears the cost of pricing and bookkeeping services and administration of the securities lending program under the terms of its administration agreements with Strategic Advisers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. The Freedom Funds are funds of Fidelity Aberdeen Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. Currently, there are six funds in Fidelity Aberdeen Street Trust: Fidelity Freedom Income Fund®, Fidelity Freedom 2000 Fund®, Fidelity Freedom 2010 Fund®, Fidelity Freedom 2020 Fund®, Fidelity Freedom 2030 Fund®, and Fidelity Freedom 2040 FundSM . The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the funds.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is a business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit. The courts of some states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust. The Trust Instrument provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Trust Instrument further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Trust Instrument also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and a fund is unable to meet its obligations. Strategic Advisers believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

On matters submitted for consideration by shareholders of any underlying Fidelity fund, a Freedom Fund will vote its shares in proportion to the vote of all other holders of shares of that underlying Fidelity fund or, in certain limited instances, the Freedom Fund will vote its shares in the manner indicated by a vote of its shareholders.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. However, the Trustees may, without prior shareholder approval, authorize a transfer of all assets of a Freedom Fund with a target retirement date into Freedom Income Fund, or any successor thereto, or reorganize or terminate the trust or a fund or a class. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodians. The Bank of New York, 110 Washington Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of each fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. <R>JPMorgan</R> ChaseBank, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies,and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Auditor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, serves as independent accountant for each fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended March 31, 200<R>2</R>, and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 24. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 25. Indemnification

Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. title 12 § 3817, a Delaware business trust may provide in its governing instrument for the indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Article X, Section 10.02 of the Trust Instrument sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Trust Instrument, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Fidelity Aberdeen Street Trust
Post-Effective Amendment No. 28

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
