The state of Pennsylvania, where Philadelphia is located, has a well-developed R&D infrastructure for the biomedical field, and is home to pharmaceutical- and medical device-manufacturing companies doing business on a global scale as well as companies specializing in biotechnologies such as gene therapy and living tissue. The demand for high-quality pharmaceutical logistics is expected to continue increasing alongside the growth of life science-related businesses.

The recently GDP-certified warehouse owned and operated by the Philadelphia Branch is equipped with CCTV, access control systems, and temperature control monitors, creating highly advanced security and quality control regimes. The facility features a temperature-controlled system dedicated to pharmaceuticals that can handle two temperature zones: 2C to 8C (refrigerated) and 15C to 25C (constant temperature). With this most recent acquisition of GDP certification, the NX Group will provide an even safer and higher-quality pharmaceutical logistics platform by combining its international temperature-controlled transport services with the temporary storage functions available at its GDP-certified warehouses.

The NX Group currently has GDP-certified systems in place at a total of 36 locations in 25 countries and regions worldwide, and is working to further expand its GDP network. The Group will continue stepping up its efforts in the healthcare industry, which is positioned as a priority industry in its business plan, thus expanding and developing services globally to meet increasingly sophisticated and diverse pharmaceutical logistics needs.

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.
