Fund Summary

Fund:
Fidelity Simplicity RMD Income Fund℠

Investment Objective

The fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

(fees paid directly from your investment) None

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Management fee(a) 0.46%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees None
Other expenses 0.00%
Total annual operating expenses(a) 0.46%

(a)Adjusted to reflect current fees.

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you are not participating in the Fidelity® systematic withdrawal plan.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

1 year $47
3 years $148
5 years $258
10 years $579

Portfolio Turnover

The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity® funds (or "turns over" its portfolio), but it could incur transaction costs if it were to buy and sell other types of securities directly. If the fund were to buy and sell other types of securities directly, a higher portfolio turnover rate could indicate higher transaction costs and could result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. Such costs, if incurred, would not be reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example and would affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Investing primarily in a combination of Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds) to seek to achieve the fund's investment objective consistent with a payment strategy to be administered through a complementary systematic withdrawal plan.
  • Allocating assets according to a stable neutral asset allocation strategy. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) has begun transitioning fund assets based on a revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund (approximately 11% in U.S. equity funds, 8% in international equity funds, 43% in U.S. investment grade bond funds, 5% in international bond funds, 3% in long-term treasury bond funds, 20% in inflation-protected bond funds, and 10% in short-term funds) that is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022. The Adviser may modify the fund's neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests of shareholders.
  • Buying and selling futures contracts (both long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently, remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
  • The Adviser, under normal market conditions, will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
  • The Adviser may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt (also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets individually, but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes.

The fund's investment objective is intended to support a payment strategy designed to be implemented through a shareholder's voluntary participation in a complementary systematic withdrawal plan that will enable shareholders to receive regular payments from the fund based on their expected required minimum distributions from certain types of retirement accounts as mandated by the Internal Revenue Code. However, shareholders may invest in the fund and not participate in the plan.

Investors should refer to the "Features and Policies" section of the prospectus for a summary of how the payment strategy and plan are designed to operate.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is designed for investors who seek to convert accumulated assets into regular payments over time. A shareholder's participation in the systematic withdrawal plan will result in the gradual withdrawal of the value of the shareholder's account in the fund. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund.

  • Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. If the Adviser's asset allocation strategy does not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective. If the fund is unable to achieve its objective, the payment strategy may not work as intended. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
  • Investing in Other Funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
  • Income Risk. A low or negative interest rate environment can adversely affect an underlying fund’s yield.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
  • Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
  • Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
  • Correlation to Index. The performance of an underlying index fund and its index may vary somewhat due to factors such as fees and expenses of the underlying fund, transaction costs, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
  • Passive Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the performance of these underlying funds could be lower than actively managed funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. An underlying index fund may be concentrated to approximately the same extent that its index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
  • Inflation-Protected Debt Exposure. Increases in real interest rates can cause the price of inflation-protected debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.
