What it is: A stable value collective trust fund that is not a mutual fund. The fund is managed by Fiduciary Capital Management, Inc.

Goal: Seeks to provide a low risk, high quality investment that preserves principal and provides a stable rate of return that is higher than money market returns. The rate of return of the fund will change over time and will track changes in interest rates.

What it invests in: The fund's assets are invested in stable value contracts that pay a fixed interest rate for a predetermined amount of time and provide for repayment of principal and interest at the maturity of the contract. The fund will purchase various stable value contracts from a variety of high quality issuers in an effort to limit the fund's exposure to any single issuer.

The fund may also invest in diversified portfolios of bonds to enhance the fund's liquidity and diversification. A high quality stable value contract issuer that will insulate the fund from market volatility will cover each portfolio of bonds.

It is reasonable to expect preservation of principal with the principal amount consistently increasing by investment earnings; however, principal and interest are not guaranteed by the federal government.

Life-Cycle

Fidelity
Freedom Funds

Fidelity Freedom Funds

What they are: The Fidelity Freedom Funds are investment options that allow the investor to select the fund that best matches his or her expected retirement year. The Fidelity Freedom Funds invest in a diversified portfolio of other Fidelity mutual funds to provide moderate asset allocation. They are designed for investors who want a simple, yet diversified approach to investing for their retirement. The allocation strategy for the underlying stock, bond, and money market mutual funds is based on the number of years until the Freedom funds reach their target retirement dates. Each Freedom fund with a target retirement date will gradually adopt a more conservative asset allocation as it approaches its target retirement date. Therefore, each fund's tar get asset allocation percentages will change over time to become more conservative, by gradually reducing allocations to stock funds and increasing allocations to bond Life Cycle and money market funds. The Fidelity Freedom Income Fund,' designed for those already in retirement, emphasizes bond and money market mutual funds and seeks to maintain a stable asset allocation from year to year.

Goal: The Freedom funds with target retirement dates seek to provide high total returns. The Freedom Income Fund seeks high current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.

What they invest in: Each Freedom fund invests in a diversified portfolio of well established Fidelity stock, bond, and money market mutual funds. Fidelity Freedom 2040, with the longest time horizon, invests primarily in stock mutual funds to take advantage of potentially greater growth opportunities. The asset mix of each Freedom fund with a target retirement date (Freedom 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, and 2040) will gradually become more conservative over time so investors can stay with the same fund before and after retirement. After reaching the target retirement date, these Freedom funds continue to be managed more conservatively for five to ten more years until their asset mix is approximately the same as Freedom Income Fund. Ultimately, after notifying the funds' investors, the funds will merge into the Freedom Income Fund. The Freedom Income Fund, designed for those already retired, is invested more conservatively, with a larger percentage in bond and money market funds, and has a smaller percentage of equity mutual funds. The funds' manager must invest in the group of underlying funds named in the prospectus, and will aim for the projected target asset allocation percentages announced to investors in the funds' annual and semiannual reports. Freedom funds with target retirement dates may invest in domestic and foreign stock funds, high yield and investment grade bond funds, and a money market fund. The Freedom Income Fund invests in domestic stock funds, investment grade bond funds, and a money market fund. These funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets in the U.S. and abroad and may be subject to the additional risks associated with investing in high yield, small cap, and foreign securities. Share price and return of each Freedom fund will vary.
