System availability and response time is subject to market conditions. Fidelity offers a type of CD called a Brokerage CD. Brokerage CDs are issued by banks for brokerage firms' customers with the deposits received being obligations of the issuing bank. The CDs are usually issued in large denominations and the brokerage firm divides them into smaller denominations for re-sale to their customers. Investing in brokerage CDs is similar to investing in bank CDs, in that investors agree to place their funds with the issuing bank for the term of the CD, and the CD earns interest at a specified rate. They differ in that brokerage CDs may be also be sold prior to maturity and, in turn, investors may also buy brokerage CDs in the secondary market. Lehman Brothers Bank (FSB) CDs are not available for sale in the state of Texas. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures CDs for principal and accrued interest up to $250,000 per issuer. Any account or deposits that you may maintain directly with a particular issuer are aggregated with the CDs for purposes of the $250,000 limit. On October 3, 2008, certain FDIC insurance coverage limits were temporarily increased from $100,000 to $250,000. These temporary increases will remain in effect until December 31, 2013. Additional information can be found on the FDIC website. CDs which mature after 12/31/2013 will have the $250,000 coverage up to the 12/31/2013 date. After that the insurance will revert to the $100,000 level. FDIC now insures CDs for principal and accrued interest up to $250,000 per account owner per institution for depository assets held in qualifying retirement accounts such as traditional or Roth IRAs. If your CD has a maturity date of more than one year from the date of issue, the pre-maturity sale price may be less than its original purchase price, particularly if interest rates are higher at the time of sale. The secondary market may also be limited. Fidelity currently makes a market in this CD but may not do so in the future. If your CD has a step rate, the interest rate of your CD may be higher or lower than prevailing market rates. Step rate CDs are also subject to secondary market risk and often will include a call provision by the issuer that would subject you to reinvestment risk. The initial rate is not the yield to maturity. If your CD has a call provision, please be aware the decision to call the CD is at the issuer's sole discretion. Also, if the issuer calls the CD, you may be confronted with a less favorable interest rate should you decide to reinvest your funds. Fidelity's online fixed income service identifies specific fixed income securities which match the investment criteria that you select. As with all of your fixed income investments including CDs offered through Fidelity, you must make your own determination as to whether any of these securities are consistent with your investment objectives and risk tolerance. Fidelity is not recommending or endorsing any of these securities by making them available to its customers. If you enter an order, Fidelity may notify you that the security is more aggressive than your stated investment objective for your account. The above offerings will generally not represent the universe of outstanding securities and should not be construed as all-inclusive. Prices and yields are posted prior to the assessment of the Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC ("FBS") markup or markdown. The FBS markup or markdown will be applied for customer review prior to placement of the order. Bonds are made available through our affiliate National Financial Services LLC and from various third-party providers, including participants on the BondDesk platform, with FBS normally acting as riskless principal or agent. The offering broker, which may be our affiliate National Financial Services LLC ("NFS"), may separately mark up or mark down the price of the security and may realize a trading profit or loss on the transaction. During normal market hours, the prices above are live prices, which are updated for each executed trade and at least every fifteen minutes. However, due to the possibility of system outages, untimely information provided by vendors, or various other reasons, Fidelity cannot guarantee the timeliness or accuracy of prices displayed. Price is subject to change and may be affected by availability and size of order. Yields are as of standard settlement and reflect the lower of the yield to maturity or the yield to call unless otherwise noted. Any fixed income security including CDs sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a gain or loss. Although content is continuously supplied, it is only valid as of the date published and may become unreliable because of subsequent market conditions or other reasons.
