Sept 4 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), through debt unit ADNOC Murban, is set to launch the $4 billion, 3-part bond sale it was marketing earlier in the day, fixed-income news service IFR reported on Wednesday.

It has given final terms for a sale of $1 billion in five-year notes at 70 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, $1.5 billion in 10-year tranche at 85 bps, and another $1.5 billion 30-year portion at 115 bps over the same benchmark, IFR said.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
