	The following table lists some of the frequently transacted fixed income instruments that are currently available online. Investment Objectives have been assigned to each of these security types. For individual transactions, Fidelity believes your fixed income decisions should roughly correspond to these assessments. However, this table is a single security evaluation that serves only as a guideline. As with any investment, an investor's individual circumstances should dictate security selection. Additionally, the table is not intended to provide definitive guidance on your overall portfolio of fixed income. For portfolio guidance, Fidelity provides a Portfolio Review tool.
