Bond Fund Methodology

Category Type	Description
Taxable Bond Funds
Government Bond Funds	Funds that primarily invest in U.S. government securities which may include mortgage securities.
Mortgage-Backed Bond Funds	Funds that invest primarily in bonds backed by pools of mortgages. Mortgage securities may be U.S. government securities or securities issued by a bank or other financial institution.
Broad Market Bond Funds	Funds that invest primarily in investment-grade bonds, such as corporate, government and mortgage securities.
Global Bond Funds	Funds that invest in debt securities of issuers in foreign countries, including emerging markets. They may invest in equity securities of emerging market issuers, debt securities of non-emerging market foreign issuers, and lower quality debt securities of U.S. issuers.
High Yield Bond Funds	Funds that normally invest in high yielding debt securities with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities.


	Bond funds contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); the risk of issuer default; and inflation risk.

	Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations.

	High Yield funds may invest in lower-quality securities which generally offer higher yields, but also carry more risk.

	Investments in mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which can limit the potential for gain during a declining interest rate environment and increase the potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.



	Before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
