Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization.

Fidelity MSCI Communication Services Index ETF (formerly Fidelity MSCI Telecommunications Services Index ETF), Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF (the Funds) are exchange-traded funds of Fidelity Covington Trust (the Trust) and are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Each Fund, with the exception of MSCI Industrials Index ETF and MSCI Real Estate ETF, are non-diversified funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

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

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

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

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds (Underlying Funds) are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. If an unaffiliated underlying fund’s NAV is unavailable, shares of that fund may be valued by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Board’s fair value pricing policies and is categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of January 31, 2019, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies – continued

 

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of NYSE Arca, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Funds represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds determine the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. A fund’s federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Realized gain or loss resulting from in-kind redemptions is not taxable to the Fund and is not distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in kind, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

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

 

     Tax cost      Gross unrealized
appreciation
     Gross unrealized
depreciation
    Net unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation) on
securities and
other investments

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) provides the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .084% of each Fund’s average net assets. Under the management contract, SelectCo pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. The management fee paid to SelectCo is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by each fund to the independent Trustees.

During January 2019 the Board approved to change the investment adviser from Fidelity SelectCo, LLC to FMR Co., Inc. effective February 1, 2019. There was no change to the management fee.

Sub-Adviser. BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA), serves as sub-adviser for the Funds. BFA provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds and is paid by SelectCo for providing these services.

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

5. Share Transactions.

The Funds issue and redeem shares at NAV only with certain authorized participants in large increments known as Creation Units. Purchases of Creation Units are made by tendering a basket of designated stocks to a fund and redemption proceeds are paid with a basket of securities from a fund’s portfolio with a balancing cash component to equate the market value of the basket of securities delivered or redeemed to the NAV per Creation Unit on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery. A fund’s shares are available in smaller increments to investors in the secondary market at market prices and may be subject to commissions. Authorized participants pay a transaction fee to the shareholder servicing agent when purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of a fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Other.

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

Shareholder Expense Example

 

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

 

Fidelity Sector ETFs

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory and ETF services agreement for each fund (Sub-Advisory Agreement) with BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA). SelectCo and BFA are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the advisory arrangements throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of each fund’s advisory arrangements, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of each fund’s advisory arrangements. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board’s annual consideration of the advisory arrangements. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2019 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to approve an amended and restated management contract and Sub-Advisory Agreement (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund to reflect the fact that, effective February 1, 2019, FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC), also an affiliate of FMR, would assume the duties and rights of SelectCo under the fund’s then current management contract. The Board noted that, with the exception of the date, term, entity name, and non-operating expense language clarification described below, the terms of each fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the fees payable thereunder, would not change as a result of the approval of the Advisory Contracts. The Board considered that FMRC would render the same services to the funds under the amended and restated management contracts that SelectCo rendered to the funds under the then current management contracts and that the Sub-Advisory Agreements were simply being updated to reflect the change in investment adviser. The Board also considered that approval of the Advisory Contracts would not result in any changes to (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the funds’ assets; or (ii) the day-to-day management of the funds or the persons primarily responsible for such management. As a result, the Board considered that its prior experience with SelectCo as investment adviser for the funds was relevant to its consideration of the Advisory Contracts.

In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity and BFA from their respective relationships with each fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders.

In considering whether to approve the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the approval of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to approve the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity’s competitors, and that each fund’s shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity and BFA, and also considered the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups and with representatives of BFA. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation programs and whether the structures provide appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund.

The Trustees also discussed with representatives of Fidelity, at meetings throughout the year, Fidelity’s role in, among other things, overseeing compliance with federal securities laws and other applicable requirements by BFA with respect to the funds and monitoring and overseeing the performance and investment capabilities of BFA. The Trustees considered that the Board had received from Fidelity periodic reports about its oversight and due diligence processes, as well as periodic reports regarding the performance of BFA.

The Board also considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BFA. The Trustees noted that under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, subject to oversight by Fidelity, BFA is responsible for, among other things, identifying investments, arranging for execution of portfolio transactions to implement each fund’s investment strategy, and performing certain ETF-related services. In addition, the Trustees noted that BFA is responsible for providing such reporting as may be requested by Fidelity to fulfill its oversight responsibilities discussed above.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity’s and BFA’s investment staffs, including their size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity’s and BFA’s approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board considered that

 

  95   Semiannual Report 


Table of Contents

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees – continued

 

Fidelity’s and BFA’s investment professionals have extensive resources, tools and capabilities so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity’s and BFA’s trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates or agents under the Advisory Contracts and by SelectCo’s affiliates under separate agreements covering pricing and bookkeeping services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally State Street Bank and Trust Company, each fund’s transfer agent and custodian; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with certain of the Investment Advisers.

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

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including: (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to Fidelity’s investment research process, which includes meetings with management of issuers of securities in which the funds invest, and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity’s global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs; (iv) launching new share classes of existing funds; (v) eliminating purchase minimums and broadening eligibility requirements for certain funds and share classes; (vi) reducing management fees and total expenses for certain growth equity funds and index funds; (vii) lowering expense caps for certain existing funds and classes, and converting certain voluntary expense caps to contractual caps, to reduce expenses borne by shareholders; (viii) eliminating short-term redemption fees for funds that had such fees; (ix) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies from fund mergers and share class consolidations; (x) continuing to develop, acquire and implement systems and technology to improve services to the funds and shareholders, strengthen information security, and increase efficiency; and (xi) continuing to implement enhancements to further strengthen Fidelity’s product line to increase investors’ probability of success in achieving their investment goals, including retirement income goals.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions that occur at Board meetings throughout the year with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund for different time periods, measured against the securities market index the fund seeks to track. The Board also periodically considers each fund’s tracking error versus its benchmark index. In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that an index fund’s performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing fund share classes, where applicable, compared to a fund’s benchmark index, over appropriate time periods taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; the characteristics of the fund’s benchmark index; the extent to which statistical sampling is employed; any securities lending revenues; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and its benchmark index for the most recent one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2018, as shown below.

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

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund’s management fee and total expense ratio compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees’ competitive analysis of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. For this purpose, all sector focused equity ETFs are grouped in the same mapped group. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods ended June 30 shown in basis points (BP) in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group.”The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates (i.e., sector equities), regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund’s. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds’ actual TMG %s and the number of funds in the Total Mapped Group are in the charts below. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund’s management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund’s management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and was considered by the Board.

The Board considered that effective July 1, 2016, each fund’s management fee rate was reduced from 0.12% to 0.084%.

The Board noted that each fund’s management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2018.

The Board noted that it and the boards of other Fidelity funds formed an ad hoc Committee on Group Fee, which meets periodically, to conduct an in-depth review of the “group fee” component of the management fee of funds with such management fee structures. The Committee’s focus included the mechanics of the group fee, the competitive landscape of group fee structures, Fidelity funds with no group fee component (such as the funds) and investment products not included in group fee assets. The Board also considered that, for funds subject to the group fee, FMR agreed to voluntarily waive fees over a specified period of time in amounts designed to account for assets converted from certain funds to certain collective investment trusts.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund’s management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each fund’s total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund’s all-inclusive fee rate. The Board also considered other expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees, paid by the investment adviser under the all-inclusive arrangement. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for each fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses.

The Board noted that the amended and restated management contract for each fund contained amendments clarifying that the fund pays its non-operating expenses, including brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the fund’s securities lending program. The Board considered that the amendments would not change the services provided to the funds or the party responsible for making such payments under the current management contracts.

The Board noted that each fund’s total expense ratio ranked below the competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Fees Charged to Other Clients. The Board also considered fee structures applicable to clients of Fidelity and BFA, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity or BFA, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity’s institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee’s review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that each fund’s total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund’s shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

Table of Contents

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity’s audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of the fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity’s and BFA’s non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity’s mutual fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity’s and BFA’s affiliates may benefit from the funds’ business. The Board noted that changes to fall-out benefits year-over-year reflect business developments at Fidelity’s various businesses.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

The Board also considered information regarding the profitability of BFA’s relationship with each fund and BFA’s representation that it did not realize any fall-out benefits as a result of its relationship with each fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board recognized that, due to each fund’s current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund’s operating costs decrease as assets grow, or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds’ advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds, and Fidelity’s long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (iii) metrics for evaluating index fund and ETF performance and information about ETF trading characteristics; (iv) the methodology with respect to the evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee comparisons; (v) the expense structures for different funds and classes; (vi) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity, including collective investment trusts; and (vii) Fidelity’s philosophies and strategies for evaluating funds and classes with lower or declining asset levels.

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

Fidelity® Momentum Factor ETF

Performance (Unaudited)

 

The information provided in the tables below shows you the performance of Fidelity® Momentum Factor ETF, with comparisons over different time periods to the fund’s relevant benchmarks, including an appropriate broad-based market index. Seeing the returns over different time periods can help you assess the fund’s performance against relevant measurements. The performance information includes cumulative total returns and is further explained in this section.*

The fund’s net asset value (NAV) performance is based on the NAV calculated each business day. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing investment company shares as of the close of regular trading hours on NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The fund’s market price performance is based on the daily closing price of the shares of the fund on NYSE Arca. Since ETFs are bought and sold at prices set by the market – which can result in a premium or discount to NAV – the returns calculated using market price (market return) can differ from those calculated using NAV (NAV return). For information on these differences, please visit Fidelity.com or see the prospectus. The fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or selling of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit fidelity.com/etfs/factor-etfs/overview or call Fidelity. The performance data featured represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate; therefore, you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization.

Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates, Fidelity High Dividend ETF, Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF, Fidelity Momentum Factor ETF, Fidelity Quality Factor ETF and Fidelity Value Factor ETF (the Funds) are exchange-traded funds of Fidelity Covington Trust (the Trust) and are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

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

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

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

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

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

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

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

3. Significant Accounting Policies – continued

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of NYSE Arca, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Funds represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds determine the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

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

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. A fund’s federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Realized gain or loss resulting from in-kind redemptions is not taxable to the Fund and is not distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to redemptions in kind, partnerships, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

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

 

     Tax cost      Gross unrealized
appreciation
     Gross unrealized
depreciation
    Net unrealized

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) (the investment adviser) an affiliate of FMR, provides the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .29% of each Fund’s average net assets. Under the management contract, FMRC pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses. The management fee paid to FMRC is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by each fund to the independent Trustees.

Sub-Adviser. Geode Capital Management, LLC (Geode), serves as sub-adviser for the Funds. Geode provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds and is paid by the investment adviser for providing these services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains each Fund’s accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

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

6. Security Lending.

Certain Funds lend portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The Funds or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Funds may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Funds may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities at period end is disclosed on each applicable Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund’s Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Security lending activity was as follows:

8. Share Transactions.

The Funds issue and redeem shares at NAV only with certain authorized participants in large increments known as Creation Units. Purchases of Creation Units are made by tendering a basket of designated stocks to a fund and redemption proceeds are paid with a basket of securities from a fund’s portfolio with a balancing cash component to equate the market value of the basket of securities delivered or redeemed to the NAV per Creation Unit on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery. A fund’s shares are available in smaller increments to investors in the secondary market at market prices and may be subject to commissions. Authorized participants pay a transaction fee to the shareholder servicing agent when purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of a fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

9. Other.

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

Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (August 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

 

Fidelity Factor-Based ETFs

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreement for each fund (Sub-Advisory Agreement) with Geode Capital Management, LLC (Geode) (together, the Advisory Contracts). FMRC and Geode are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund’s Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board’s annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2019 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew each fund’s Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity and Geode from their respective relationships with each fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board’s decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity’s competitors, and that each fund’s shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity and Geode, and also considered the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups and with representatives of Geode. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation programs and whether the structures provide appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers’ investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

The Trustees also discussed with representatives of Fidelity, at meetings throughout the year, Fidelity’s role in, among other things, overseeing compliance with federal securities laws and other applicable requirements by Geode with respect to the funds and monitoring and overseeing the performance and investment capabilities of Geode. The Trustees considered that the Board had received from Fidelity periodic reports about its oversight and due diligence processes, as well as periodic reports regarding the performance of Geode.

The Board also considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Geode. The Trustees noted that under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, subject to oversight by Fidelity, Geode is responsible for, among other things, identifying investments and arranging for execution of portfolio transactions to implement each fund’s investment strategy. In addition, the Trustees noted that Geode is responsible for providing such reporting as may be requested by Fidelity to fulfill its oversight responsibilities discussed above.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity’s and Geode’s investment staffs, including their size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity’s and Geode’s approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board considered that Fidelity’s and Geode’s investment professionals have extensive resources, tools and capabilities so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity’s and Geode’s trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and by FMRC’s affiliates under separate agreements covering pricing and bookkeeping and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally State Street Bank and Trust Company, each fund’s transfer agent and custodian; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers.

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

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including: (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to Fidelity’s investment research process, which includes meetings with management of issuers of securities in which the funds invest, and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity’s global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs; (iv) launching new share classes of existing funds; (v) eliminating purchase minimums and broadening eligibility requirements for certain funds and share classes; (vi) reducing management fees and total expenses for certain growth equity funds and index funds; (vii) lowering expense caps for certain existing funds and classes, and converting certain voluntary expense caps to contractual caps, to reduce expenses borne by shareholders; (viii) eliminating short-term redemption fees for funds that had such fees; (ix) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies from fund mergers and share class consolidations; (x) continuing to develop, acquire and implement systems and technology to improve services to the funds and shareholders, strengthen information security, and increase efficiency; and (xi) continuing to implement enhancements to further strengthen Fidelity’s product line to increase investors’ probability of success in achieving their investment goals, including retirement income goals.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions that occur at Board meetings throughout the year with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund for different time periods, measured against the securities market index the fund seeks to track. The Board also periodically considers each fund’s tracking error versus its benchmark index. In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that an index fund’s performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing fund share classes, where applicable, compared to a fund’s benchmark index, over appropriate time periods taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; the characteristics of the fund’s benchmark index; the extent to which statistical sampling is employed; any securities lending revenues; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net total return information for each fund and its benchmark index for the most recent one-year period ended June 30, 2018, as shown below.

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

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund’s management fee and total expense ratio compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees’ competitive analysis of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods ended June 30 shown in basis points (BP) in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group.” The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were

lower than a fund’s. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds’ actual TMG %s and the number of funds in the Total Mapped Group are in the charts below. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund’s management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund’s management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and was considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund’s management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2018.

The Board noted that it and the boards of other Fidelity funds formed an ad hoc Committee on Group Fee, which meets periodically, to conduct an in-depth review of the “group fee” component of the management fee of funds with such management fee structures. The Committee’s focus included the mechanics of the group fee, the competitive landscape of group fee structures, Fidelity funds with no group fee component (such as the funds) and investment products not included in group fee assets. The Board also considered that, for funds subject to the group fee, FMR agreed to voluntarily waive fees over a specified period of time in amounts designed to account for assets converted from certain funds to certain collective investment trusts.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund’s management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each fund’s total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund’s all-inclusive fee rate. The Board also considered other expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees, paid by FMRC under the all-inclusive arrangement. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for each fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses.

In connection with the renewal of the Advisory Contracts, the Board also approved amendments to the management contract for each fund to clarify that the fund pays its non-operating expenses, including brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the fund’s securities lending program. The Board considered that the amendments would not change the services provided to the funds or the party responsible for making such payments under the current management contracts.

The Board noted that each fund’s total expense ratio ranked below the competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Fees Charged to Other Clients. The Board also considered fee structures applicable to clients of Fidelity and Geode, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity or Geode, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity’s institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee’s review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that each fund’s total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund’s shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity’s audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of the fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity’s and Geode’s non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity’s mutual fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity’s and Geode’s affiliates may benefit from the funds’ business. The Board noted that changes to fall-out benefits year-over-year reflect business developments at Fidelity’s various businesses.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

The Board also considered information regarding the profitability of Geode’s relationship with each fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board recognized that, due to each fund’s current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund’s operating costs decrease as assets grow, or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds’ advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds, and Fidelity’s long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology,

profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (iii) metrics for evaluating index fund and ETF performance and information about ETF trading characteristics; (iv) the methodology with respect to the evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee comparisons; (v) the expense structures for different funds and classes; (vi) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity, including collective investment trusts; and (vii) Fidelity’s philosophies and strategies for evaluating funds and classes with lower or declining asset levels.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable, and that each fund’s Advisory Contracts should be renewed.
