Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are "exogenous shocks" that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.
3 Annual Report 


Market Recap
The S&P 500® index gained 36.45% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2021, as U.S. equities continued a historic rebound following a steep but brief decline due to the early-2020 outbreak and spread of COVID-19. A confluence of powerful forces propelled risk assets, returning the stock market to pre-pandemic highs by late August 2020. The rally slowed in September, when stocks began a two-month retreat amid Congress’s inability to reach a deal on additional fiscal stimulus, as well as uncertainty about the election. But as the calendar turned, investors grew hopeful. The rollout of three COVID-19 vaccines was underway, the U.S. Federal Reserve pledged to hold interest rates near zero until the economy recovered, and the federal government planned to deploy trillions of dollars to boost consumers and the economy. This backdrop fueled a sharp rotation, with small-cap value usurping leadership from large growth. As part of the “reopening” theme, investors moved out of tech-driven mega-caps that had thrived due to the work-from-home trend in favor of cheap smaller companies that stood to benefit from a broad cyclical recovery. A flattish May reflected concerns about inflation and jobs, but the uptrend resumed through July, driven by corporate earnings. Notably, this leg saw momentum shift back to large growth, as easing rates and a hawkish Fed stymied the reflation trade. By sector, financials (+55%) led, driven by banks (+63%), whereas utilities (+12%) and consumer staples (+18%) notably lagged.

Performance (Unaudited)
The information provided in the tables below shows you the performance of Fidelity® MSCI Real Estate Index 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 average annual 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/sector-etfs or call Fidelity. The performance data featured represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended July 31, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity MSCI Communication 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 Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index 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 – Investment 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. Each Fund’s Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of each Fund:
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 Fair Value 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.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual 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 open-end mutual 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 July 31, 2021, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies – continued
    
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 (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) of the New York Stock Exchange, Archipelago Exchange (NYSE Arca) 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 any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) 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 that Fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund’s expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. 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. As of July 31, 2021, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each 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 certain deemed distributions and futures, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in kind, 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:

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
3. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds' investment objective allows the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Funds used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Funds may not achieve their objectives.
The Funds' use of derivatives increased or decreased their exposure to the following risk:
Equity risk        Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds used futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as
 Annual Report 114


3. Derivative Instruments – continued
    
unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statements of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Futures Contracts”. The notional amount at value reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements is presented as segregated cash with brokers for derivative instruments in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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, the investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. The management fee paid to the investment adviser is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by each fund to the independent Trustees.
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 the investment adviser for providing these services.
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other funds affiliated with each 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. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

Notes to Financial Statements  – continued
6. Share Transactions.
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 securities 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 offset the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
To the extent the Funds permit the contribution of securities in exchange for the purchase of shares (contribution in-kind), shares may be issued in advance of receipt by the Funds of all or a portion of the applicable deposit securities. In these circumstances, the Authorized Participant provides collateral to the custodian, on behalf of the Funds, in an amount up to 115% of the daily mark-to-market value of the deposit securities not yet received.
7. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees 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 fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Funds’ performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Covington Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity MSCI Communication 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:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Fidelity MSCI Communication 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"), each a fund of Fidelity Covington Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of July 31, 2021, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers (Unaudited)
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 314 funds.
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. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee. Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member 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.
The funds’ Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-FIDELITY.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualififications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.
In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.
Board Structure and Oversight Function. Robert A. Lawrence is an interested person and currently serves as Acting Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. David M. Thomas serves as Lead Independent Trustee and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.
Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the funds' Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.
 Annual Report 118


The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021).
Actual Expenses
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 a class/Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate 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.

127 Annual Report 


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 renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory and ETF services agreement for each fund (Sub-Advisory Agreement) with BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA) (together, the Advisory Contracts). FMR 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 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 May 2021 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 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 provided by and the profits 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 are 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 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 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. The Board also considered Fidelity’s and BFA’s investments in business continuity planning, and their success in continuously providing services to the funds notwithstanding the severe disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
 Annual Report 128


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 FMR’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 over the Internet and through telephone representatives, 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 ETFs with innovative structures, strategies and pricing 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) approving the reduction in the holding period for the Class C to Class A conversion policy; (vii) reducing management fees and total expenses for certain target date funds and classes and index funds; (viii) lowering expenses for certain existing funds and classes by implementing or lowering expense caps; (ix) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies from fund mergers, liquidations, 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-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020, as shown below.

Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF
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 September 30 (June 30 for periods ended 2019 and 2018 and December 31 for periods prior to 2018) 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-Sized 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%.

Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF
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 September 30, 2020.
The Board noted that, in the past, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds had formed an ad hoc Committee on Group Fee 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 FMR under the all-inclusive arrangement. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse 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. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure (SLTG). The Board also considered a total expense ASPG comparison for each fund, which focuses on the total expenses of the fund relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the total expense SLTG. The total expense ASPG is limited to 15 larger and 15 smaller classes in fund average assets for a total of 30 classes, where possible. The total expense ASPG comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The Board noted that each fund’s total expense ratio ranked below the SLTG competitive median and below the ASPG competitive median for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020.
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.
141 Annual Report 


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees  – continued
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 and the full Board approves such changes.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. The 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 certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the 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 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 affiliates may benefit from the funds’ business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board also considered that in 2019 a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds evaluated potential fall-out benefits (PFOB Committee). The Board noted that it considered the PFOB Committee’s findings in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund, including the conclusions of the PFOB Committee, 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 flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity’s long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) consideration of expanding the use of performance fees for additional funds; (iii) Fidelity’s pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) metrics for evaluating index fund and ETF performance and information about ETF trading characteristics; (v) the methodology with respect to evaluating competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various expense structures; (vii) group fee breakpoints; (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and sub-advisory arrangements; and (ix) 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.
 Annual Report 142


Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
      Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
      Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
      Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
      Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are "exogenous shocks" that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.
3 Annual Report 


Market Recap
The S&P 500® index gained 36.45% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2021, as U.S. equities continued a historic rebound following a steep but brief decline due to the early-2020 outbreak and spread of COVID-19. A confluence of powerful forces propelled risk assets, returning the stock market to pre-pandemic highs by late August 2020. The rally slowed in September, when stocks began a two-month retreat amid Congress’s inability to reach a deal on additional fiscal stimulus, as well as uncertainty about the election. But as the calendar turned, investors grew hopeful. The rollout of three COVID-19 vaccines was underway, the U.S. Federal Reserve pledged to hold interest rates near zero until the economy recovered, and the federal government planned to deploy trillions of dollars to boost consumers and the economy. This backdrop fueled a sharp rotation, with small-cap value usurping leadership from large growth. As part of the “reopening” theme, investors moved out of tech-driven mega-caps that had thrived due to the work-from-home trend in favor of cheap smaller companies that stood to benefit from a broad cyclical recovery. A flattish May reflected concerns about inflation and jobs, but the uptrend resumed through July, driven by corporate earnings. Notably, this leg saw momentum shift back to large growth, as easing rates and a hawkish Fed stymied the reflation trade. By sector, financials (+55%) led, driven by banks (+63%), whereas utilities (+12%) and consumer staples (+18%) notably lagged.

Fidelity® U.S. Multifactor ETF
Performance (Unaudited)
The information provided in the tables below shows you the performance of Fidelity® U.S. Multifactor 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 average annual 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.
Average annual total returns take Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF’s cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF’s shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old.

The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Fidelity U.S. Multifactor Index and the Russell 1000 Index performed over the same period.

93 Annual Report 


Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended July 31, 2021
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, Fidelity Small-Mid Multifactor ETF, (formerly Fidelity Small-Mid Factor ETF), Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF, Fidelity U.S. Multifactor 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 an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may 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 Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
Fidelity Central Fund Investment Manager Investment Objective Investment Practices Expense Ratio(a)
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. Short-term Investments Less than .005% to .01%
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
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 – Investment 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. Each Fund’s Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of each Fund:
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 Fair Value 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:
 Annual Report 94


3. Significant Accounting Policies – continued
    
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.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 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.
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 July 31, 2021, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain 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 (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) of the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (CboeBZX) for Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF, and of the New York Stock Exchange, Archipelago Exchange (NYSE Arca) for all other funds; 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 Fidelity Central 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. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. 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 that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund’s expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. 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. As of July 31, 2021, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each 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 futures transactions, redemptions in kind, partnerships, foreign currency transactions, 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:

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds' investment objective allows the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Funds used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Funds may not achieve their objectives.
The Funds' use of derivatives increased or decreased their exposure to the following risk:
Equity risk        Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
97 Annual Report 


Notes to Financial Statements  – continued
4. Derivative Instruments – continued
    
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds used futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statements of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Futures Contracts”. The notional amount at value reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements is presented as segregated cash with brokers for derivative instruments in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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, the investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses. For each Fund, with the exception of Fidelity Small-Mid Multifactor ETF, Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF and Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF, the management fee paid to the investment adviser 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.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
  Borrower or Lender Average Loan Balance Weighted Average Interest Rate Interest Expense
Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates Borrower $ 3,845,000 0.29 % $ 63
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other funds affiliated with each 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. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund’s daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund 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, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the 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 in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
  Total Security Lending Income Fees Paid to NFS Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End
Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates $ 371 $ $
Fidelity High Dividend ETF 1,747 5
Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF 103
Fidelity Momentum Factor ETF 149
Fidelity Quality Factor ETF 144
Fidelity Small-Mid Multifactor ETF 3
Fidelity Value Factor ETF 1,970
8. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with each applicable Fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund’s expenses by the following amounts:
  Amount
Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates $ 2
Fidelity High Dividend ETF 2
Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF 7

Notes to Financial Statements  – continued
9. Share Transactions.
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 securities 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 offset the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
10. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees 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 fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Funds’ performance.

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Covington Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF (the "Fund"), a fund of Fidelity Covington Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of July 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from November 5, 2019 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2020, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2021, and the results of its operations for the year ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from November 5, 2019 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

Trustees and Officers (Unaudited)
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 314 funds.
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. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee. Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member 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.
The funds’ Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-FIDELITY.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualififications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.
In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.
Board Structure and Oversight Function. Robert A. Lawrence is an interested person and currently serves as Acting Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. David M. Thomas serves as Lead Independent Trustee and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.
Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the funds' Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.
105 Annual Report 


Trustees and Officers (Unaudited)  – continued
The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

111 Annual Report 


Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited)
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (February 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021).
Actual Expenses
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 a class/Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate 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 Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreement (Sub-Advisory Agreement) for each fund with Geode Capital Management, LLC (Geode) (together, the Advisory Contracts). FMR 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 May 2021 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 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 provided by and the profits 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 are 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 senior management 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. The Board also considered Fidelity’s and Geode’s investments in business continuity planning, and their success in continuously providing services to the funds notwithstanding the severe disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees  – continued
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 FMR’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 over the Internet and through telephone representatives, 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 ETFs with innovative structures, strategies and pricing 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) approving the reduction in the holding period for the Class C to Class A conversion policy; (vii) reducing management fees and total expenses for certain target date funds and classes and index funds; (viii) lowering expenses for certain existing funds and classes by implementing or lowering expense caps; (ix) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies from fund mergers, liquidations, 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 (for each fund except Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF and Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF). 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 September 30, 2020, as shown below. Peer groups are not shown below because each fund does not generally utilize a peer group for performance comparison purposes.

Fidelity Value Factor ETF
Investment Performance (for Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF and Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF). The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. As the fund recently commenced operations, the Board did not believe that it was appropriate to assign significant weight to its limited investment performance.
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 September 30 (June 30 for periods ended 2019 and 2018 and December 31 for periods prior to 2018) 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-Sized 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.

Fidelity Value Factor ETF
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 September 30, 2020.
The Board noted that, in the past, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds had formed an ad hoc Committee on Group Fee 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 FMR under the all-inclusive arrangement. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse 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, for each fund except Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF and Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF, historical total expense ratios of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure (SLTG). The Board also considered a total expense ASPG comparison for each fund, which focuses on the total expenses of the fund relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the total expense SLTG. The total expense ASPG is limited to 15 larger and 15 smaller classes in fund average assets for a total of 30 classes, where possible. The total expense ASPG comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
With respect to each fund except Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates and Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF, the Board noted that each fund’s total expense ratio ranked below the SLTG competitive median and below the ASPG competitive median for the period ended September 30, 2020.
With respect to Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates and Fidelity Low Volatility Factor ETF, the Board noted that each fund’s total expense ratio ranked equal to the SLTG competitive median and above the ASPG competitive median for the period ended September 30, 2020. The Board also noted that the ASPG includes multiple classes from a single competitor and that, when these classes are excluded, each fund’s total expense ratio was below the ASPG competitive median. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees  – continued
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 and the full Board approves such changes.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. The 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 certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the 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 considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board also considered that in 2019 a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds evaluated potential fall-out benefits (PFOB Committee). The Board noted that it considered the PFOB Committee’s findings in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund, including the conclusions of the PFOB Committee, and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
The Board also considered information regarding the profitability of Geode’s relationship with each fund except Fidelity U.S. Multifactor ETF.
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 flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity’s long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) consideration of expanding the use of performance fees for additional funds; (iii) Fidelity’s pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) metrics for evaluating index fund and ETF performance and information about ETF trading characteristics; (v) the methodology with respect to evaluating competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various expense structures; (vii) group fee breakpoints; (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and sub-advisory arrangements; and (ix) Fidelity’s philosophies and strategies for evaluating funds and classes with lower or declining asset levels.
 Annual Report 126


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.
127 Annual Report 


Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
      Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
      Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
      Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
      Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are "exogenous shocks" that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.
3 Annual Report 


Market Recap
The S&P 500® index gained 36.45% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2021, as U.S. equities continued a historic rebound following a steep but brief decline due to the early-2020 outbreak and spread of COVID-19. A confluence of powerful forces propelled risk assets, returning the stock market to pre-pandemic highs by late August 2020. The rally slowed in September, when stocks began a two-month retreat amid Congress’s inability to reach a deal on additional fiscal stimulus, as well as uncertainty about the election. But as the calendar turned, investors grew hopeful. The rollout of three COVID-19 vaccines was underway, the U.S. Federal Reserve pledged to hold interest rates near zero until the economy recovered, and the federal government planned to deploy trillions of dollars to boost consumers and the economy. This backdrop fueled a sharp rotation, with small-cap value usurping leadership from large growth. As part of the “reopening” theme, investors moved out of tech-driven mega-caps that had thrived due to the work-from-home trend in favor of cheap smaller companies that stood to benefit from a broad cyclical recovery. A flattish May reflected concerns about inflation and jobs, but the uptrend resumed through July, driven by corporate earnings. Notably, this leg saw momentum shift back to large growth, as easing rates and a hawkish Fed stymied the reflation trade. By sector, financials (+55%) led, driven by banks (+63%), whereas utilities (+12%) and consumer staples (+18%) notably lagged.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Co-Managers Sonu Kalra and Michael Kim:
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021, the fund gained 44.14% at net asset value and 44.58% on a market-price basis, outperforming the 36.68% result of the benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Security selection drove the fund’s result versus the benchmark, especially in the consumer discretionary sector. Strong picks in the information technology, communication services and industrials sectors also helped. Among individual stocks, an outsized stake in electric vehicle maker Tesla (+139%) added more value than any other fund holding. Overweighting graphics chipmaker Nvidia (+86%) and owning a non-benchmark stake in Singapore-based technology conglomerate Sea (+134%) also added value. We added to the fund’s stakes in Tesla, Sea and Nvidia by period end. Conversely, stock selection in health care and consumer staples detracted from the fund’s relative performance. Among individual stocks, the fund’s non-benchmark stake in Alibaba Group Holding (-9%) detracted notably. We reduced the fund’s stake in Alibaba as of July 31. Positioning in Penn National Gaming and an overweighted stake in Amazon.com (+6%) also detracted. Notable changes in positioning included increased exposure to the industrials sector and a lower allocation to health care.

Fidelity® Blue Chip Value ETF
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Co-Managers Sean Gavin and Anastasia Zabolotnikova:
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021, the fund gained 42.83% at net asset value and 42.99% on a market-price basis, outperforming the 39.32% advance of the benchmark Russell 1000® Value Index. Versus the benchmark, security selection was the primary contributor, especially in the media & entertainment area of the communication services sector. Strong picks in real estate also helped. Further aiding performance were stock picks in the industrials sector, especially among capital goods stocks. The biggest individual relative contributor was an overweight position in Discover Financial Services (+141%), and we added to our stake in this company. Also adding value was our larger-than-benchmark holding in CBRE Group, which gained 115%. We increased our position in the company the past 12 months. Another notable relative contributor was an outsized stake in Capital One Financial (+142%), where we added to our exposure this period. Conversely, the primary detractor from performance versus the benchmark was an overweighting in utilities. Also hurting the fund's relative return was stock selection and an overweighting in health care. The combination of our underweighting and subpar picks among energy firms hampered performance as well. The biggest individual relative detractor was an overweight position in Centene (+3%), and we increased our stake in this company. Also hampering performance was our bigger-than-benchmark exposure to Amgen, which gained about 1%. We added to our position in the company the past year. Another notable relative detractor was an outsized stake in Newmont (-6%), where we increased our position this period. Notable changes in positioning include a higher allocation to the consumer staples and utilities sectors.

Fidelity® New Millennium ETF
Performance (Unaudited)
The information provided in the tables below shows you the performance of Fidelity® New Millennium 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 average annual 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 Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (CboeBZX) (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 CboeBZX. 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 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.

Fidelity® New Millennium ETF
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Co-Managers Andy Browder and John Roth:
For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021, the fund gained 45.03% at net asset value and 45.31% on a market-price basis, each outperforming the 36.45% result of the benchmark, the S&P 500® index. Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector contributed the most to the fund’s relative performance. Picks in the industrials, financials, and materials sectors also helped. An overweight position in capital goods conglomerate General Electric (+110%) added more value than any other fund position. We increased our stake in General Electric by period end. An outsized stake in the bank Wells Fargo, which gained about 89%, also aided the fund’s relative return. We added to our Wells Fargo position the past 12 months as well. Avoiding Amazon.com, a benchmark component that gained 5%, also helped relative performance. In contrast, security selection and an underweighting in information technology detracted from the fund’s relative performance, as did picks in the health care sector. Not owning Alphabet, a benchmark component that gained about 82% detracted significantly. Also hampering performance was our overweighting in Becton Dickinson, which returned about -5%. We increased our Becton Dickinson stake the past 12 months. Notable changes in positioning included reduced exposure to the information technology sector.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization, or Geode Capital Management, LLC, (the ETF's subadviser) or any other person in the Geode organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity and Geode disclaim 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended July 31, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF, Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Magellan ETF, Fidelity New Millennium ETF, Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF, Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF and Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF (the Funds) are non-diversified 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 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 – Investment 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. Each Fund’s Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of each Fund:
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 Fair Value 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 are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. If an unaffiliated open-end mutual 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 July 31, 2021, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain 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.
 Annual Report 70


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 (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) of the New York Stock Exchange, Archipelago Exchange (NYSE Arca) for Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF and Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF, and of the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (CboeBZX) for all other funds; 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 any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) 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 that Fund and do not include the expenses associated with the any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund’s expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. 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. As of July 31, 2021, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each 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. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, 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:

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
3. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds' investment objective allows the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Funds used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Funds may not achieve their objectives.
The Funds' use of derivatives increased or decreased their exposure to the following risk:
Equity risk        Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds used futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statements of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Futures Contracts”. The notional amount at value reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 0.59% of each Fund's average net assets, except for Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF’s management fee is based on an annual rate of .64% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in the net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
  Amount
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF $ 2,166
Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF 791
Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF 255
Fidelity Magellan ETF 102
Fidelity New Millennium ETF 909
Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF 87
Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF 217
Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF 16
Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF 11
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds 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. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.
Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF for certain losses in the amount of $1,994.
 Annual Report 74


6. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of certain Funds include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Funds to offset expenses. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund’s expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF
Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF
7. Share Transactions.
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 securities 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 offset the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees 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 fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Covington Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF and Fidelity New Millennium ETF
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF and Fidelity New Millennium ETF (three of the funds constituting Fidelity Covington Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of July 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended July 31, 2021 and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended July 31, 2021 and for the period June 2, 2020 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of July 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year ended July 31, 2021 and the changes in each of their net assets and each of the financial highlights for the year ended July 31, 2021 and for the period June 2, 2020 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Magellan ETF, Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF, Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF, and Fidelity Women's Leadership ETF (the "Funds"), each a fund of Fidelity Covington Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from February 2, 2021 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2021, except for the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF and Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF; which are for the period from June 15, 2021 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2021; and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of July 31, 2021, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period from February 2, 2021 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2021, except for the Fidelity Sustainability U.S Equity ETF and Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF; which are for the period from June 15, 2021 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

77 Annual Report 


Trustees and Officers (Unaudited)
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 314 funds.
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. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee. Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member 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.
The funds’ Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-FIDELITY.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualififications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.
In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.
Board Structure and Oversight Function. Robert A. Lawrence is an interested person and currently serves as Acting Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. David M. Thomas serves as Lead Independent Trustee and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.
Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the funds' Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.
 Annual Report 78


The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited)
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 mutual funds.
The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021) for Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF and Fidelity New Millennium ETF, for the period (February 2, 2021 to July 31, 2021) for Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Magellan ETF, Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF and Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF and for the period (June 15, 2021 to July 31, 2021) for Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF and Fidelity Women's Leadership ETF. The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (February 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021).
Actual Expenses
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 a class/Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate 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 Growth Opportunities ETF
Fidelity Magellan ETF
Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF
Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF
At its November 2020 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are collectively referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, considered a broad range of information.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity’s staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity, and also considered the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether the structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund.
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 investment staff, including their size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity’s approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity’s global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity’s analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity’s investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data 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, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity’s trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process. The Board also considered Fidelity’s investments in business continuity planning, and its success in continuously providing services to the Fidelity funds notwithstanding the severe disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services to be performed by the Investment Advisers, and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering pricing and bookkeeping and securities lending services for each fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally transfer agents, custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors.
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 over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment Performance. Each fund is a new fund and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at the time it approved each fund’s Advisory Contracts.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. In reviewing the Advisory Contracts, the Board considered each 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 FMR under the all-inclusive arrangement. For Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Magellan ETF, and Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF, the Board noted that each fund’s proposed management fee rate is equal to the median fee rate of funds with similar Lipper investment objective categories and comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures are comparable. The Board also considered that the projected total expense ratio of Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Magellan ETF, and Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF is equal to the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons.
For Fidelity Small- Mid Cap Opportunities ETF, the Board noted that the fund’s proposed management fee rate is above the median fee rate of funds with similar Lipper investment objective categories and comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures are comparable. The Board also considered that the projected total expense ratio of the fund is above the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons. The Board also noted that the fund’s competitive peer group for management fee and total expense comparisons includes mostly large and mid-cap ETFs, which generally have lower fees than funds focused on smaller companies.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund’s management fee and projected total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.
 Annual Report 88


Costs of the Services and Profitability. Each fund is a new fund and therefore no revenue, cost, or profitability data was available for the Board to review in respect of each fund at the time it approved the Advisory Contracts. In connection with its future renewal of each fund’s Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider 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.
Economies of Scale. The Board will consider economies of scale when there is operating experience to permit assessment thereof. It noted that, notwithstanding the entrepreneurial risk associated with a new fund, the management fee was at a level normally associated, by comparison with competitors, with very high fund net assets, and Fidelity asserted to the Board that the level of the fee anticipated economies of scale at lower asset levels even before, if ever, economies of scale are achieved. The Board also noted that each fund and its shareholders would have access to the very considerable number and variety of services available through Fidelity and its affiliates.
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.
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Active ETFs
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. FMR and the sub-advisers 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 May 2021 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 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 provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity from its relationships with each fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are 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 Fidelity’s staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity, 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. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides 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.
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 investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity’s approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity’s global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity’s analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity’s investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data 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, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees  – continued
deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity’s trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process. The Board also considered Fidelity’s investments in business continuity planning, and its success in continuously providing services to the funds notwithstanding the severe disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 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 use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services.
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 over the Internet and through telephone representatives, 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 ETFs with innovative structures, strategies and pricing 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) approving the reduction in the holding period for the Class C to Class A conversion policy; (vii) reducing management fees and total expenses for certain target date funds and classes and index funds; (viii) lowering expenses for certain existing funds and classes by implementing or lowering expense caps; (ix) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies from fund mergers, liquidations, 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. As each fund recently commenced operations, the Board did not believe that it was appropriate to assign significant weight to its limited investment performance.
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.
With respect to Fidelity Growth Opportunities ETF, Fidelity Magellan ETF, Fidelity Real Estate Investment ETF and Fidelity Small-Mid Cap Opportunities ETF, the Board considered that it received and reviewed information regarding the fund’s management fee rate and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes in connection with the approval of the management contract in November 2020. The Board noted that, because the funds did not commence operations until February 2021, no new competitive management fee and expense information was considered by the Board.
Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods ended September 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-Sized Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped
 Annual Report 90


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.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees  – continued
Fidelity New Millennium ETF
For Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF, and Fidelity New Millennium ETF, the Board noted that each fund’s management fee rate ranked equal to the median of its Total Mapped Group and equal to the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020.
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 FMR under the all-inclusive arrangement. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse 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 total expense ratios of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. For Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF, and Fidelity New Millennium ETF, each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure (SLTG). The Board also considered a total expense ASPG comparison for each fund, which focuses on the total expenses of the fund relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the total expense SLTG. The total expense ASPG is limited to 15 larger and 15 smaller classes in fund average assets for a total of 30 classes, where possible. The total expense ASPG comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
For Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ETF, Fidelity Blue Chip Value ETF, and Fidelity New Millennium ETF, the Board noted that each fund’s total expense ratio ranked equal to the SLTG competitive median and below the ASPG competitive median for the period ended September 30, 2020.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, 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.
 Annual Report 92


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 and the full Board approves such changes.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. The 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 certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the 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 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 affiliates may benefit from the funds’ business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board also considered that in 2019 a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds evaluated potential fall-out benefits (PFOB Committee). The Board noted that it considered the PFOB Committee’s findings in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund, including the conclusions of the PFOB Committee, and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
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 flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity’s long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) consideration of expanding the use of performance fees for additional funds; (iii) Fidelity’s pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) metrics for evaluating index fund and ETF performance and information about ETF trading characteristics; (v) the methodology with respect to evaluating competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various expense structures; (vii) group fee breakpoints; (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and sub-advisory arrangements; and (ix) 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.
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Sustainability U.S. Equity ETF
Fidelity Women’s Leadership ETF
At its March 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are collectively referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, considered a broad range of information.
93 Annual Report 


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees  – continued
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity’s staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of Fidelity, and also considered the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether the structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund.
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 investment staff, including their size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity’s approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity’s global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity’s analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity’s investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data 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, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity’s trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process. The Board also considered Fidelity’s investments in business continuity planning, and its success in continuously providing services to the Fidelity funds notwithstanding the severe disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services to be performed by the Investment Advisers, and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering pricing and bookkeeping and securities lending services for each fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally transfer agents, custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors.
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 over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment Performance. Each fund is a new fund and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at the time it approved each fund’s Advisory Contracts.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. In reviewing the Advisory Contracts, the Board considered each 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 FMR under the all-inclusive arrangement. The Board noted that each fund’s proposed management fee rate is equal to the median fee rate of funds with similar Lipper investment objective categories and comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures are comparable. The Board also considered that the projected total expense ratio of each fund is equal to the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund’s management fee and projected total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. Each fund is a new fund and therefore no revenue, cost, or profitability data was available for the Board to review in respect of each fund at the time it approved the Advisory Contracts. In connection with its future renewal of each fund’s Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider 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.
Economies of Scale. The Board will consider economies of scale when there is operating experience to permit assessment thereof. It noted that, notwithstanding the entrepreneurial risk associated with a new fund, the management fee was at a level normally associated, by comparison with competitors, with very high fund net assets, and Fidelity asserted to the Board that the level of the fee anticipated economies of scale at lower asset levels even before, if ever, economies of scale are achieved. The Board also noted that each fund and its shareholders would have access to the very considerable number and variety of services available through Fidelity and its affiliates.
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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
      Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
      Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
      Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
      Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

The trust’s Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by Deloitte Entities and PwC to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte Entities and PwC in its(their) audit of the Fund(s), taking into account representations from Deloitte Entities and PwC, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Fund(s) and its(their) related entities and FMR’s review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund(s) Service Providers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (“Covered Service”) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee periodically.


Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X (“De Minimis Exception”)

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Fund’s(s’) last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Fund(s) or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund(s).
