black ink. If you need more room for information or signatures, make a copy of the relevant page.
Important to Understand Helpful to Know
By signing this application, you acknowledge that:
Trading on margin lets you borrow money using securities you
already own as collateral to purchase additional securities, sell
securities short, protect your account from overdraft, or access a
convenient line of credit.
Margin can involve significant costs and risks and is not
appropriate for all investors. Account owners must determine
whether margin is consistent with their investment objectives,
income, assets, experience, and risk tolerance. No investment or
use of margin is guaranteed to achieve any particular objective.
Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”) will perform brokerage
and administrative services.
National Financial Services LLC (“NFS”) will provide
administrative, clearing, custody, and margin credit services.
FBS, NFS, and their affiliates are together referred to herein
as “Fidelity.”

By signing below, you:
Authorize Fidelity to extend margin credit
on the account identified in Section 1 to
the name(s) listed on this application.
Represent and warrant that if you have not
completed the section titled Associations,
you are not employed by nor associated
with a broker-dealer, stock exchange,
exchange member firm, FINRA, a munici-
pal securities dealer, or any other financial
institution, nor are you the spouse or imme-
diate family member residing in the same
household of such a person.
Represent and warrant that if you have not
completed the section titled Affiliations,
none of you, your spouse, nor any of your
relatives living in your home are a control
person or affiliate of a public company
under SEC Rule 144.
Affirm that you have received, read,
understood, and agree to be bound by
the terms and conditions of the Customer
Agreement, this Application, and the
Schedule of Fees (which is incorporated
into the Agreement by reference and
legally forms a part of that document), as is
currently in effect and as may be amended
in the future. It shall inure to the benefit of
Fidelity’s successors and assigns, whether
by merger, consolidation, or otherwise.
Fidelity may transfer your account to its
successors and assigns, and this Agreement
shall be binding upon your heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns.
Certify that all information provided in this
form is true, accurate, and complete.
Hereby authorize Fidelity to hypothecate
(lend) or rehypothecate, either separately
or with the property of others, either to
Fidelity or to others, any property Fidelity
may be carrying for you on margin. This
authorization applies to all of your margin
accounts Fidelity carries and shall remain
in force until Fidelity receives written notice
of revocation.
Acknowledge that if you are adding margin
to an Investment-Only Retirement Account,
you have read and understand the following
points:
As trustee, it is your responsibility to
ensure that all account transaction and
investment instructions provided are in
accordance with the underlying plan
and trust.
In addition to risks generally applicable
to margin borrowing, a tax-advantaged
retirement account poses additional risks,
including the following: 1) using account
assets to satisfy margin calls reduces
tax-advantaged savings, 2) annual
contribution limits might restrict a plan
trustee’s ability to satisfy margin calls,
and 3) debt-financed investment income
within a tax-advantaged account can
generate unrelated business taxable
income (UBTI). You are strongly
encouraged to consult your tax or
benefits advisor prior to using margin
borrowing on this account.
Check one in
each column.
Industry regulations
require us to ask for
this information.
For entity accounts
such as business and
trust registrations,
please provide the
suitability information
for the entity. For
entity registrations,
only net worth and
liquid net worth
are required.

To help the government fight financial crimes, federal regulation requires Fidelity to obtain and verify your name, date of birth, address,
and a government-issued ID number before opening your account, and to verify the information. In certain circumstances, Fidelity may
obtain and verify comparable information for any person authorized to make transactions in an account. Also, federal regulation requires
Fidelity to obtain and verify the beneficial owners and control persons of legal entity customers. Requiring the disclosure of key individ-
uals who own or control a legal entity helps law enforcement investigate and prosecute crimes. Your account may be restricted or closed
if Fidelity cannot obtain and verify this information. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses or damages (including, but not limited
to, lost opportunities) that may result if your account is restricted or closed.
You acknowledge that this account is governed by a predispute arbitration clause, which appears on the last page of the
Customer Agreement, and that you have read the predispute arbitration clause.

Fidelity Brokerage Services
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP SUMMARY
This important information about Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”) is provided to comply with
the federal securities laws. It does not create or modify any agreement, relationship or obligation
between you and FBS (or your financial professional). Please consult your Fidelity account agreement
for the terms and conditions that govern your relationship with us. Effective as of June 30, 2020.
FBS is a registered broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Brokerage and
investment advisory services and fees differ, and it is important for you to understand these differences.
Free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS,
which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing.
What investment services and advice can you provide me?
FBS offers brokerage accounts and services for personal or workplace investing, including retail,
retirement (including Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)) and cash management services (bill pay,
check-writing, etc.). These accounts generally allow you to invest in mutual funds, exchange traded funds
(ETFs), stocks, bonds, college savings plans and insurance products, among others. We do not limit
our offerings to Fidelity funds, specific asset classes, or products that involve third-party compensation
arrangements. There is no minimum investment to open an account; there are minimums to purchase
some types of investments. FBS works with its affiliated clearing broker, National Financial Services LLC,
along with other affiliates to provide you with these investment services. For additional information, see
Fidelity.com/information.
With an FBS brokerage account, unless we agree otherwise in writing, you are solely responsible for
deciding how you want to invest, monitoring your account and placing trades. FBS, either by itself or
through an affiliate, can provide you with tools and information to help you make decisions and can
provide you with investment recommendations for certain investments upon request. Discretionary
and non-discretionary investment advisory services are provided through our affiliated investment
advisers, including Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors (FPWA), typically for a fee, and documents
describing these advisory services can be found at
Fidelity.com/information
.
FBS brokerage accounts are also available to you when you work with a third-party adviser such as a
registered investment adviser, retirement plan administrator, bank or family office (“intermediaries”).
If you open your FBS brokerage account through an intermediary, you or your intermediary will
make all decisions regarding the purchase or sale of investments; FBS generally will not provide
recommendations or monitor your investment decisions, or your intermediary, for you. Some
intermediaries limit the investment services and products that they offer to you from the universe of
investments that FBS offers. Please contact us or your intermediary for more information on the services
provided, conflicts of interest, and any fees you will pay.
Questions you may have:
Given my financial situation, should I choose a brokerage service? Why or why not?
How will you choose investments to recommend to me? What is your relevant experience,
including your licenses, education and other qualifications?
What do these qualifications mean?
What fees will I pay?
The fees that you will pay depend on whether you work directly with FBS or through an intermediary.
If you establish a retail relationship directly with FBS, there are no commissions charged on online
transactions in U.S. stocks, ETFs, options, new issue bonds and CDs. Online transactions in other
securities are charged a commission. Sell orders for equities are charged an activity assessment fee
and options have a per-contract fee. Transactions placed over the telephone or in a branch office are
charged a commission. If you open an investment advisory account with one of our affiliates, your fees
will be identified in the contract and disclosure document provided by that affiliate. If you work with
FBS through an intermediary, please contact your intermediary for details on the fees that you will
pay for your brokerage activities. If you have established an institutional relationship with FBS, online
commissions can apply. Please speak with your FBS representative.
There is no transaction fee or sales load for the purchase or sale of Fidelity’s retail mutual funds. Other
mutual funds either have a transaction fee or no transaction fee, and some of these funds will have sales
loads. These fees can vary depending on how long you hold the fund. Holding funds for less than 60
days can result in additional trading fees. Mutual funds, ETFs and similar investment products typically
charge their own separate management fees and other expenses.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs
will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you
2
understand what fees and costs you are paying. When commissions apply, FBS has an incentive for you
to trade more often and in larger amounts. Brokerage fees and costs information for different account
types, products and services are available at
Fidelity.com/information
.
Question you may have: Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my
investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much
will be invested for me?
What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations? How else does your firm
make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
When FBS provides you with a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put
our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with
your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the
recommendations we provide to you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means.
FBS or its affiliates typically earn more when you invest in a product that we or one of our affiliates
advise, manage or sponsor, such as a Fidelity mutual fund, ETF or managed account. This creates
an incentive to recommend our investment products over those offered by another company.
FBS earns more on some third-party funds and ETFs, including through sales loads, 12b-1 fees,
maintenance fees, start-up fees and infrastructure support paid by the fund, its investment advisor
or an affiliate. This creates an incentive for us to recommend these products over others.
FBS and its affiliates earn differing levels of compensation depending on the type of account you
choose and services that you select. This creates an incentive for us to recommend certain account
types and services over others.
For investments that we buy from or sell to you from our own accounts on a principal basis, we
earn compensation from mark-ups, mark-downs and spreads. This creates an incentive to execute
trades with our own accounts rather than on the open market.
For further details on these conflicts, see
Fidelity.com/information
.
Question you might have: How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you
address them?
How do your financial professionals make money?
Our representatives work for both FBS and our affiliated investment advisor FPWA for a salary and
either an annual bonus or variable compensation. They earn more from some products and services
(including certain investment advisory services) than from others. Our representatives have an incentive
to recommend that you select a program or product that pays them more compensation than those
that pay less. For further details, see
Fidelity.com/information
.
Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?
Yes. Visit Investor.gov/CRS for a free and simple search tool to research us and our financial professionals.
Questions you may have: As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? For
what type of conduct?

Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors LLC
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP SUMMARY
This important disclosure information about Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors LLC (“FPWA”)
is provided to comply with the federal securities laws. It does not create or modify any agreement,
relationship, or obligation between you and FPWA (or your financial professional). Please consult
your Program Fundamentals and Client Agreement for the terms and conditions that govern your
relationship with us. Effective as of June 30, 2020.
FPWA is a registered investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investment
advisory and brokerage services and fees differ, and it is important for you to understand these differences.
Free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which
also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing.
What investment services and advice can you provide me?
FPWA offers investment advisory services that include “wrap fee” advisory programs, discretionary
advisory programs, financial planning, and referrals to third-party investment advisers. Our wrap fee
programs offer investment advice from FPWA and other investment advisers, as well as securities trades
and custody services from our broker-dealer affiliates. In our wrap fee programs and our discretionary
advisory programs, a subadviser we hire (which is typically an FPWA affiliate) will have discretion to
buy and sell mutual funds, exchange-traded products (ETPs), and/or other securities for your account
without your consent to each trade. The subadviser will monitor your account and investments
periodically based on the flexibility of the program and investment strategy you have selected. You
must meet an account minimum to open an advisory account in most of our programs. Current account
minimums are described at Fidelity.com/communications. In some of our programs, you can only
invest in Fidelity mutual funds and ETPs.
We provide financial planning to clients enrolled in certain discretionary programs and, for clients at
certain asset levels, on a stand-alone basis. Our financial planning services help you evaluate your ability
to meet identified goals and can also provide suggestions for changes to your asset allocation. Whether
and how to implement any asset allocation or other recommendation provided as part of our financial
planning services is your responsibility and is distinct from our discretionary advisory services. Our
financial plans are not monitored or updated after they are provided to you. In addition, we provide
referral services, which include recommendations to third-party investment advisers to help you with
your investment and financial needs. We do not monitor these third-party investment advisers.
For more information regarding our advisory offerings, please see Fidelity.com/communications. Our
affiliated broker-dealer, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”), also offers brokerage accounts and
services to retail investors, as described in the accompanying document. Please see Fidelity.com
/communications.
Questions you may have:
Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not?
How will you choose investments to recommend to me? What is your relevant experience,
including your licenses, education, and other qualifications?
What do these qualifications mean?
What fees will I pay?
Your fees will depend on the investment advisory program you select. See the respective program
disclosure document for specific fees at Fidelity.com/information. Each wrap fee program charges an
advisory fee, typically based on the amount of assets that you have in the program, which covers the
ongoing management of your account(s), as well as brokerage, clearing, and custody services provided
by FBS and other broker-dealer affiliates and can cover assistance from our representatives and access
to financial planning services. Fees are typically deducted from your account in arrears on a quarterly
basis. Wrap program fees include most transaction costs and fees to FBS and are generally higher than
a typical asset-based advisory fee that does not include transaction costs for brokerage services. Our
other discretionary advisory programs also charge asset-based fees or a subscription fee depending
on the program. Typically, the more assets there are in your program account, the more you will pay in
fees, and we have an incentive to encourage you to increase the assets in your account. Program fees
do not include (1) underlying expenses of mutual funds and ETPs purchased for your account (though
note that we credit certain revenue we receive from your mutual fund and ETP investments to your
program account as explained in your Client Agreement); (2) certain charges resulting from transactions
for your account executed with or through unaffiliated broker-dealers; (3) fees of investment advisers
we refer you to; and (4) some incidental fees and expenses. In some wrap fee programs we charge an
2
extra fee if your assets are invested in individual securities through a separately managed account. We
charge a fixed fee for our stand-alone financial planning, and we receive a fee from advisers to whom
we refer clients.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs
will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you
understand what fees and costs you are paying. For additional information regarding program fees,
please see Fidelity.com/information.
Question you may have: Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my
investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much
will be invested for me?
What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does
your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest
ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests.
You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice
we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means.
FPWA or its affiliates earn more fees when your assets are invested in a product that we (or our
affiliates) advise, manage, or sponsor, such as a Fidelity mutual fund or ETP. We will apply a fee
credit to address the incentive to invest your assets in these products over others.
FPWA or its affiliates also earn fees when your assets are invested in some third-party funds and
ETPs. We will apply a fee credit to address the incentive to invest your assets in those products
over others.
Our investment advisory programs charge different fees. This creates an incentive for us to
recommend advisory programs that pay us or our affiliates higher fees over other programs.
Questions you may have: How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you
address them?
How do your financial professionals make money?
For more details on conflicts, please see Fidelity.com/information.
Our representatives work for both FPWA and our affiliated broker-dealer, FBS, for a salary and either an
annual bonus or variable compensation. They earn more from some advisory programs than from other
programs, or from providing brokerage services through FBS. Our representatives have an incentive to
recommend that you select a program or product that pays them more compensation than those that
pay less. For more details on compensation, please see Fidelity.com/information.
Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?
Yes. Visit Investor.gov/CRS for a free and simple search tool to research us and our financial professionals.

As the account owner, you are fully responsible for monitoring

A joint owner or any one of multiple trustees can place any order

assets) without the approval of the other owner(s)
or trustee(s) and without any obligation on Fidelity’s part
to question the action.
There are certain situations in which it is
essential that you get in touch with us.
You need to tell us immediately if any of the following occur:
You notice anything incorrect or suspicious concerning your
orders, account activity, or statements.
Your financial circumstances or goals change.

porate insiders, the reporting of certain investments, or
employment in the securities industry.

their rights to sue in court, and agree to abide by the findings of
an arbitration panel established in accordance with an
industry self-regulatory organization.

to our acceptance of an authorized order, to buy, sell, or otherwise
dispose of, or acquire, securities for you according to your instructions.
We also agree to provide, or acquire, various services and features, as
described on the following pages.
Your Commitments to Fidelity
Many of these commitments are spelled out more completely on the
following pages, but in general, when you sign the account application,
you agree:
to accept full responsibility for the content and accuracy of all
authorized instructions placed on your account, and for all results
and consequences of these instructions, including all investment
decisions, trading orders, tax consequences, and instructions placed
by you or any other person you authorize
to pay all fees, charges, and expenses incurred on your account, in
accordance with the provisions of this agreement and the fee schedule
in effect at the time (a current schedule is provided with this agreement);
for services we perform at your request that are not covered in our
current fee schedule, you agree to pay the applicable fee
to maintain enough assets in your account to satisfy all obligations as
they become due, and to understand that we may take whatever steps
we consider necessary to resolve unpaid debts or other obligations

for your own personal purposes only
if you use any of our electronic services, or if you provide us with your
email address to have your personal financial information transmitted
electronically, and to receive your initial notice of our privacy policy

any devices, such as mobile phones or pagers, you use in connection
with your account
to let us monitor and/or record any phone conversations with you

that may be used for verifying your identity when you contact Fidelity

payment and employment information (whether for margin or any
other purpose), and to permit any third-party financial service provider
to do likewise
to resolve disputes concerning your relationship with us (other than
class actions) through arbitration rather than in a court of law
if applying for margin, to authorize Fidelity to lend property of yours
that has been pledged as collateral, and to comply with all provisions

and accept the terms associated with them
to protect Fidelity against losses arising from your usage of market
data and other information provided by third parties
to understand that, whenever you invest in, or exchange into, any

its description of the fund, the fund’s fees and charges, and the opera-
tion of the fund
to notify us in writing any time there is a material change in your
financial circumstances or investment objectives
to be bound by the current and future terms of this agreement,
from the time you first use your account or sign your application,
whichever happens first
that if you have authorized someone to act on your behalf in your
account, any and all disclosures, required or otherwise, may be
provided solely to you or the individual acting on your behalf as part
of the scope of his or her authority

Account Features
The Fidelity Account
®
brokerage account offers access to a range
of integrated financial services, making it a versatile investment and
cash management tool. Certain features and services are standard
with your account. Others are optional, and may be added either

Industry regulations require that Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS)

your account.
Acceptance of orders and other instructions from you regarding
your account, and for promptly and accurately transmitting those
orders and instructions to NFS.

Standard Features
Securities Trading
This account is a brokerage account that allows the trading and
holding of many securities that are publicly traded in the United
States, such as most securities in these categories:
stocks, including common and preferred
bonds, including corporate, municipal, and government
convertible securities
mutual funds, including Fidelity funds, non-Fidelity funds, and
closed-end funds such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
options, including stock and index options, and in some cases
options offered through an employee stock option program (ESOP)
certificates of deposit (CDs)
unit investment trusts (UITs)
In addition, the account can be used to trade certain foreign securi-
ties (either directly or as depositary receipts) and precious metals.
Fidelity may make non-personal historical trading data available to
institutional clients on an aggregate basis for analysis purposes (such
as trending).
Some investments that cannot be traded through your Fidelity
Account
®
are futures and commodities.
When you place a trade, you may have a choice of order types,
including market orders, limit orders, stop orders, and stop-limit
orders. To find out how these different types of orders work, and
for other helpful information, go to Fidelity.com/brokerage.
Foreign Securities Trading
Fidelity offers you two different ways to trade foreign stocks. You
can utilize either Fidelity’s “International Trading” functionality or
its “Foreign Ordinary Share Trading” service. International Trading
allows you to trade most common stocks and exchange-traded funds
(ETFs) directly in the local market with an option to settle your trade
in U.S. dollars or in the local currency. Foreign Ordinary Share Trading
allows you to trade shares in foreign corporations in the over-the-
counter (OTC) market through a U.S. market maker. If you are using
Fidelity’s International Trading functionality, you will be subject to
the terms and conditions of the International Trading Supplement.
However, all customers trading foreign securities should be aware of
certain risks described below:
Trading in foreign securities, including direct investments in foreign
markets, involves various investment risks, including foreign exchange
risk (the possibility that foreign currency will fluctuate in value against
the U.S. dollar), increased volatility as compared to the U.S. markets,
political, economic, and social events that may influence foreign mar-
kets or affect the prices of foreign securities, lack of liquidity (foreign
markets may have lower trading volumes and fewer listed companies,
shorter trading hours, and restrictions on the types of securities that
foreign investors may buy and sell), and less access to information
about foreign companies. Emerging markets, in particular, can be
subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncer-
tainties, and can be extremely volatile.
Trading in foreign securities also may be subject to various credit,
settlement, operational, financial, and legal risks. These risks may
include but are not limited to:
Physical Markets. Certain markets may have less regulated or less
liquid securities markets. In addition, some countries still rely on
physical markets that require delivery of properly endorsed share
certificates to effect trades. As a result, the settlement process can be
lengthy (and erratic in some markets) and carries an increased risk of
failure, including, but not limited to, the failure of the counterparty to
deliver securities in exchange for payment.
Misidentification of Securities. Foreign companies may have mul-
tiple classes of securities, including “foreign” and “local” shares.
Inadequate understanding of a foreign company’s capital structure
or imprecision in placing orders can result in a purchase of the wrong
securities.
Trading Days and Hours. Differences in trading days and hours can
also create operational issues, trading delays, and complicate clear-
ance and settlement. Foreign securities orders will not be sent to
the local market except during market hours in such country. Orders
entered during such nonmarket hours may be held until the local
market is open.
Cross-Border Settlement. Cross-border settlement involves the inter-
action of different settlement systems and differing (and potentially
inconsistent) laws in each of the affected countries. In addition, par-
ticipation in shareholder voting and/or dividend payments in non-U.S.
securities is subject to the rules and regulations of the non-U.S. mar-
ket in which the security was issued and may require the disclosure
of your personal information, including but not limited to, name,
address and country of citizenship and/or residence.
Tax Treatment. There may be negative tax consequences as a result
of trading in certain countries. You should consult a tax
advisor for further information.
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Foreign securities positions that are not in the custody or control of NFS
are not covered by SIPC or any additional insurance secured by NFS.
Fidelity may limit, restrict, or terminate ability to trade in certain
foreign securities at any time and in Fidelity’s sole discretion.
Please refer to Additional Information for more on Fidelity’s broker-
age fee schedules, fees for various features and services, and margin
borrowing charges. Note that foreign jurisdictions may impose addi-
tional fees, taxes, or other charges from time to time, which may not
be reflected in the fee schedule in effect at that time. By placing a
trade in a foreign security, you agree to pay any such applicable fees,
taxes, or other charges, regardless of notice.
Core Account
Your Fidelity Account
®
includes a core account that holds assets
awaiting investment or withdrawal. Any amount in your core account
will be held in the core position specified (including by default) or
selected by you on your Fidelity Account
®
application.
Depending on the type of Fidelity Account
®
, the available options for
your core position may include a money market mutual fund, a bank
sweep, or a free credit balance. For purposes of the Core Account
section of this Agreement, the free credit balance is referred to as
the “Taxable Interest Bearing Option.” Please note that this is differ-
ent from the Intra-day Free Credit Balance described in the Credits
to Your Account section of this Agreement. More details about the
money market mutual fund and bank sweep can be found, respec-
tively, in the money market mutual fund’s prospectus or the FDIC
Insured Deposit Sweep Program Disclosure, both of which will be
made available to you when applicable. Like any free credit balance,
the Taxable Interest Bearing Option represents an amount payable
to you on demand by Fidelity. Subject to applicable law, Fidelity may
use this free credit balance in connection with its business. Fidelity
may, but is not required to, pay you interest on this free credit bal-
ance, provided that the accrued interest for a given day is at least half
a cent. Interest, if paid, will be based upon a schedule set by Fidelity,
which may change from time to time at Fidelity’s sole discretion.
Fidelity reserves the right to make changes to the available options
and/or the options available to you for your core position.
If You Reside Outside the United States
If we determine that you reside outside the United States in any
country other than Canada (as described in the Residing Outside the
United States section of this Agreement) at the time you open your
Fidelity Account
®
, or at any point in time after you open your Fidelity
Account
®
(e.g., as a result of a subsequent move), your core account
will not operate as described above. Instead, during such time as we
believe you reside outside the United States, the following will apply:
1. New Fidelity Accounts.
If you select the Taxable Interest Bearing Option as your core posi-
tion (or if you subsequently change your election to the Taxable
Interest Bearing Option), your core account will operate as other-
wise described in this Agreement except that you will be unable
to change your core position election, even if other options are
available to you.
If you select or default into any option for your core position other
than the Taxable Interest Bearing option, the process of sweep-
ing the Intra-day Free Credit Balance to your core account (as
described in the Credits to Your Account section of this Agreement)
will be suspended. As a result, all uninvested cash in your Fidelity
Account
®
will be held in the Intra-day Free Credit Balance. You will
also be unable to make any change to the option you selected
or were defaulted into for your core position during the account
opening process, except that you may change your election to the
Taxable Interest Bearing Option, if that option is available to you.
Should you make that change, your core account will operate as
if you selected the Taxable Interest Bearing Option as your core
position during the account opening process (as described in the
immediately preceding paragraph).
2. Existing Fidelity Accounts.
If you have a Fidelity Account
®
that utilizes the Taxable Interest
Bearing Option as your core position (or if you subsequently
change your election to the Taxable Interest Bearing Option), your
core account will operate as otherwise described in this Agreement,
except that you will be unable to change your core position elec-
tion, even if other options are available to you.
If you have a Fidelity Account
®
that utilizes any option for your core
position other than the Taxable Interest Bearing Option, the process
of sweeping the Intra-day Free Credit Balance to your core account
will be suspended. You will be able to liquidate that position should
you elect to do so, but you will generally be unable to add to it for
as long as we believe you reside outside the United States, except
for automatically reinvested dividends on money market mutual
fund positions and the deposit of accrued interest in the case of a
bank sweep. As a result, all new deposits to your Fidelity Account
®
or settlement proceeds from transactions in your Fidelity Account
®
will be held in the Intra-day Free Credit Balance. You will also be
unable to make any change to your core position election, except
that you may change your election to the Taxable Interest Bearing
Option, if that option is available to you. Should you make that
change, your core account will operate as if you had an existing
Fidelity Account
®
that utilizes the Taxable Interest Bearing Option
(as described in the immediately preceding paragraph).
Should we determine you no longer reside outside the United States,
if your Fidelity Account
®
was subject to a suspension, this suspension
will be lifted, the Intra-day Free Credit Balance will be swept to your
core account and held in the core position that you selected or were
defaulted into, and, going forward, your Fidelity Account
®
will oper-
ate as otherwise described herein.
Statements
We will send an account statement to the address of record:
every calendar quarter, at a minimum
for any month when you have trading or cash management activity
Your account statements will show all activity in your account for the
stated period, including securities transactions, cash and margin
balances, credits and debits, and all fees paid directly from your
account.
We will also send out a confirmation for every securities transaction
in your account. The only exceptions are automatic investments,
automatic withdrawals, dividend reinvestments, and transactions
that involve your core position, or the Intra-day Free Credit Balance;
for these activities, your regular account statement serves in place of
a confirmation.
To receive your account statements and confirmations faster, you
can arrange to have them delivered electronically instead of through
the mail. This option is free, and you can switch to or from it any time
upon request.
If you live with immediate family members who also have eligible
Fidelity accounts, you can “household” those accounts to potentially
qualify for enhanced services and features. You may elect to have
accounts householded by completing the information requested
at https://www.fidelity.com/customer-service/how-to-relationship-
householding. You may also elect to have your statements combined
or householded by completing the information requested at https://
www.fidelity.com/customer-service/how-to-combine-statements. By
electing to participate in householding, you agree that Fidelity may
provide the employers of any householded account holders with
account statements, trade confirmations, or other documents as
required by applicable regulations.
In addition, by signing the account application, you consent to have
only one copy of Fidelity mutual fund shareholder documents, such
as prospectuses and shareholder reports (“Documents”), delivered
to you and any other investors sharing your address. Your Documents
will be householded indefinitely; however, you may revoke this con-
sent at any time by contacting Fidelity. Additional details regarding
your consent are provided in the account application.
Account Protection
The securities in your account are protected in accordance with the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) for up to $500,000
(including up to $250,000 for uninvested cash). We also provide
additional coverage above these limits. Neither coverage protects
against a decline in the value of your securities, nor does either
coverage extend to certain securities that are considered ineligible
for coverage.
For more details on SIPC, or to request an SIPC brochure, visit
www.sipc.org or call 202-371-8300.
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Optional Features
You can set up these services using your account application. To add
them to an existing account, contact Fidelity. Some of these features
are covered by their own customer agreements, provided by third
parties and/or are incorporated into this agreement by reference (are
legally considered part of this agreement) and will be provided to
you as applicable. Note that some services are not available for cer-
tain types of accounts.
Checkwriting
Checkwriting is available on many types of registration; exceptions
include certain retirement plans. Note that cancelled checks are not
returned to you, although check imaging may be available.
Debit and Credit Cards; ATM Withdrawals
These cards can be used to make withdrawals at any ATM that
accepts that type of card. Below are the types of cards you may apply
for in connection with your Fidelity Account
®
:
Fidelity
®
Debit Card: All transactions are debited against your
account the same day you make them. Fidelity currently covers the
entire annual card fee.
Credit Cards: There are several different cards available to you.
These cards have different features, including the ability to earn cash
back rewards, while providing convenient access to credit. These
credit cards are issued and administered by a third party. For informa-
tion about rates, fees, and other costs and benefits associated with
the credit card program, visit Fidelity.com/creditcards.
Fidelity BillPay
®
Fidelity BillPay
®
service is free and allows you to pay your bills online.
It can be set up to make fixed payments automatically, and you can
also use it to send variable periodic payments on demand to desig-
nated payees.
Fidelity MyVoice
SM
Fidelity MyVoice is a free security service. When you call Fidelity,
you’ll no longer have to enter PINs or passwords because Fidelity
MyVoice helps you interact with us securely and more conveniently.
Through natural conversation, MyVoice will detect and verify your
voiceprint in the first few moments of the call. A voiceprint is a
combination of your physical and behavioral voice patterns. Like a
fingerprint, it’s unique to you.
Mobile Phone Number Security Check
In order to protect your account, we may review any changes made
to your mobile phone number to ensure that a newly entered
number is not associated with any known fraudulent activity. You
authorize your mobile provider to disclose information about your
mobile phone account, such as subscriber status, payment method
(whether your account is prepaid or is subject to monthly billing), and
device details, if available, to support identity verification and fraud
avoidance, and for other security purposes for the duration of your
business relationship with us. This information may also be shared
with certain third-party companies whose services we utilize for
security to support your transactions with us, and for identity
verification and fraud avoidance purposes.
If you provide us with a mobile phone number, you agree and
consent that we may contact you at that mobile number with
telephone calls that may utilize an autodialer or via text messages
for the purposes of servicing of your account(s) or investigating and
preventing fraud. We will not use autodialed calls or texts to contact
you for marketing purposes unless we receive your prior express
written consent. You do not have to agree to receive autodialed calls
or texts to your mobile phone number in order to use the products
and services offered by Fidelity. You can decline to receive autodialed
calls and texts to your mobile phone by contacting us at 800-343-3548
or through Fidelity.com. Standard telephone minute and text charges
may apply.
Transferring Money Electronically
Options for transferring cash in and out of your account electronically
include bank wires, which use the Federal Reserve wire system, and
electronic funds transfer (EFT), which works like an electronic check.
You can also set up your account to receive periodic transfers by
activating the Automatic Investment feature. In addition, you can buy
and sell shares of Fidelity mutual funds by telephone and use your
bank account (via electronic funds transfer) to settle the transaction.
Margin Account
A margin account lets you borrow money from NFS, using as collateral
eligible securities that are in your account. A margin account is
designed primarily to finance additional purchases of securities,
although it can also provide overdraft protection for your cash
management activities. For information on the benefits, costs, and risks
of margin, see “Important Information about Margin and Its Risks.”
Dividend Reinvestment
In addition to reinvestment of mutual fund dividends, reinvestment
of dividends from eligible equities and closed-end funds is an option
for most Fidelity accounts, including retirement accounts and those
with margin. You can choose to have the service apply to all eligible
securities in your account, or only to certain ones. You can request
this feature online, by phone, or in writing.
Accessing Your Account
There are a variety of ways you can place orders, access your
account, get market and investment information, or contact Fidelity.
Online choices include Fidelity.com, Fidelity Active Trader Pro
®
, alerts
and wireless trading services, and other interactive services for com-
puters or handheld devices. Some of these services are offered by
Fidelity directly; others are offered by outside providers.
Telephone choices include Fidelity Automated Service Telephone
(FAST
®
) as well as Fidelity’s telephone representatives. Both ser-
vices are generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please
note that our telephone lines may be recorded, and, by signing the
account application, you are consenting to such recording. If you
do not wish to be recorded, you should contact Fidelity via another
means. You can also speak with a Fidelity Representative in person,
during business hours, at any of our Fidelity Investor Centers around
the country.
Account Policies
Account Registration
Joint Registration
With joint registration accounts, any obligations or liabilities resulting
from one account owner’s actions are joint and several (i.e., are the
responsibility of each account owner, both individually and jointly).
We may enforce this agreement against all account owners or against
any owner individually.
Each owner of a joint account may act as if he or she were the sole
owner of the account, with no further notice or approval necessary
from any joint owner. For example, a joint owner can write checks,
buy and sell securities, withdraw assets, transfer assets into or out of
the account, borrow against the account (such as through short sales
or margin), arrange for account statements, notices, confirmations,
and communications of every kind to be sent only to him or her
and set the delivery preferences to electronic for the receipt of such
communications pursuant to the terms of the Electronic Delivery
Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, view all avail-
able historical account documents or change the account’s features
and services (although no account owner may remove another’s
name from the account).
In addition, with joint accounts, the principle of “notice to one is
notice to all” applies. We are legally considered to have fulfilled
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
an obligation to the account if we fulfill it with respect to just one
account owner (e.g., sending statements or other required communi-
cations to just one account owner).
Note also that we have no obligation to question the purpose or
propriety of any instruction of a joint account owner or authorized
person that appears to be authentic, or to let other owners know
about any changes an owner has made to the account, unless we
have received written notice to the contrary, from an authorized
person and in good order, at the address referenced earlier under
“How to Contact Us.” We do reserve the right to require, at any time,
the written consent of all account owners and/or authorized persons
before acting on an instruction from any account owner or authorized
person, but we use this right only at our own discretion and for our
own protection.
Laws covering joint or community property vary by state. You are
responsible for verifying that the joint registration you choose is valid
in your state. You may want to consult your lawyer about this. For
joint tenants with rights of survivorship and tenants by the entirety,
on the death of an account owner the entire interest in the account
generally goes to the surviving account owner(s), on the same terms
and conditions. For tenants in common, a deceased account owner’s
interest (which equals that of the other account owner(s) unless spec-
ified otherwise) goes to that account owner’s legal representative.
Tenants in common are responsible for maintaining records of the
percentages of ownership.
Trust Accounts
The provisions in the foregoing section applicable to joint regis-
tration accounts shall likewise apply to trust accounts with multiple
trustees, with one trustee having the rights and responsibilities of
one joint account owner. In addition, applying for a trust account is
considered to be a statement from the trustees that they are autho-
rized, under the terms of the trust and applicable law, to open and
direct a brokerage account on behalf of the trust, to receive notices,
confirmations, account statements, and communications of every
kind and set the delivery preferences to electronic for the receipt of
such communications pursuant to the terms of the Electronic Delivery
Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, and that their
orders and transactions will be governed by the terms and conditions
of all applicable trust agreements, and that Fidelity is authorized to
accept instructions from any trustee.
Custodial Registration
For accounts opened under the Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors
Acts, you, the account owner, are the custodian. By opening this type
of account, you agree that all assets belong to the minor and that
you will only use them for the minor’s benefit even after the assets
have been removed from the account.
Account Usage
First Use of Core Account
If a money market mutual fund is your core position, making your
first investment into that fund is your acknowledgment that you have
received and read a prospectus for that fund.
Prohibited Uses and Actions
You are strictly prohibited from using your account in conjunction with
any business as a broker-dealer, trader, agent, or advisor in any type
of security, commodity, future, or contract, or in any business or orga-
nization connected with individuals performing these functions. You
are also prohibited from publicizing or sharing with anyone any infor-
mation you obtain through your account (such as securities quotes).
In addition, be aware that we may freeze your account or suspend
certain privileges, features, or services at any time without notice.
Limits on Mutual Fund Trades
Because excessive trading in mutual fund shares can be detrimen-
tal to a fund and its shareholders, we may block account owners
or accounts that engage in excessive trading from making further
transactions in fund shares. A block on trading fund shares may be
temporary or permanent, and may apply only to certain mutual funds
or all mutual funds, including Fidelity funds.
The decision to impose a block may originate with a mutual fund
company or may be made by Fidelity at the brokerage account
level, if Fidelity believes such a block is warranted. To see what a
given fund com pany’s definition of “excessive trading” is, check
the fund’s prospectus.
In addition, we may restrict or limit any transaction in any mutual
fund or other investment company that we or an affiliate manages or
advises if we believe the transaction could adversely affect the invest-
ment company or its shareholders.
How Transactions Are Settled
Credits to Your Account
During normal business hours (“Intra-day”), activity in your account
such as deposits and the receipt of settlement proceeds are credited
to your account and may be held as a free credit balance (the “Intra-
day Free Credit Balance”).
If you utilize a Fidelity money market fund as your core position,
the Intra-day Free Credit Balance, if any, generated by such activity
occurring prior to the market close each business day (or 4:00 PM ET
on business days when the market is closed and the Fedwire Funds
Service is operating) is automatically swept into your core account,
where it is handled as described in the Core Account section of this
Agreement, except as otherwise noted therein. If you utilize an option
other than a Fidelity money market fund as your core position, the
Intra-day Free Credit Balance, if any, generated by such activity occur-
ring prior to Fidelity’s nightly processing cycle is automatically swept
into your core account, where it is handled as described in the Core
Account section of this Agreement, except as otherwise noted therein.
Activity in your account such as deposits and the receipt of settle-
ment proceeds may also occur after the cut-offs described above, or
on days the market is not open and the Fedwire Funds Service is not
operating (collectively “After-hours”). Those amounts are credited to
your account and may be held as a free credit balance (the “After-
hours Free Credit Balance”), in which case it will be included in the
next sweep into your core account.
If you utilize a Fidelity money market mutual fund as your core
position, there will be an additional automatic sweep into your core
account early in the morning prior to the start of business on each
business day. This sweep will include your After-hours Free Credit
Balance along with credit amounts attributed to certain actual or
anticipated transactions that would otherwise generate an Intra-day
Free Credit Balance on such business day.
Like any free credit balance, the Intra-day and After-hours Free Credit
Balances represent amounts payable to you on demand by Fidelity.
Subject to applicable law, Fidelity may use these free credit balances
in connection with its business. Fidelity may, but is not required to,
pay you interest on free credit balances held in your account over-
night; provided that the accrued interest for a given day is at least half
a cent. Interest, if paid, will be based upon a schedule set by Fidelity,
which may change from time to time at Fidelity’s sole discretion.
Interest paid on free credit balances will be labeled “Credit Interest”
in the Investment Activity section of your account statement. Interest
is calculated on a periodic basis and credited to your account on the
next business day after the end of the period. This period typically
runs from approximately the 20th day of one month to the 20th
day of the next month, provided, however, that the beginning and
ending periods each year run, respectively, from the 1st of the year
to approximately the 20th of January, and approximately the 20th
of December to the end of the year. Interest is calculated by multi-
plying your average overnight free credit balance during the period
by the applicable interest rate, provided, however, that if more than
one interest rate is applicable during the period, this calculation will
be modified to account for the number of days each period during
which each interest rate is applicable.
Each check or Automated Clearing House (ACH) deposit is promptly
credited to your account. However, the money may not be available
to use until up to six business days later, and we may decline to
honor any debit that is applied against the money before the depos-
ited check or ACH has cleared. If a deposited check or ACH does not
clear, the deposit will be removed from your account, and you are
responsible for returning any interest you received on it. Note that
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
we can only accept checks denominated in U.S. dollars and drawn
on a U.S. bank account (including a U.S. branch of a foreign bank).
We cannot accept third-party checks. In addition, if we have reason
to believe that assets were incorrectly credited to your account, we
may restrict such assets and/or return such assets to the account from
which they were transferred.
Debits to Your Account
All debit items (including checks, debit card transactions, bill
payments, securities purchases, electronic transfers of money, levies,
court orders or other legal process payments) are paid daily to the
extent that sufficient funds are available. Note that debits to resolve
securities transactions (including margin calls) will be given priority
over other debits, such as checks or debit card transactions.
As an account owner, you are responsible for satisfying all debits
on your account, including any debit balance outstanding after all
assets have been removed from an account, any margin interest (at
prevailing margin rates) that has accrued on that debit and any costs
(such as legal fees) that we incur in collecting the debit. You are also
responsible for ensuring that checks issued to you representing dis-
tributions from your account are promptly presented for payment. If
a check issued to you from your account remains uncashed and out-
standing for at least six months, you authorize and instruct Fidelity,
in its sole discretion, to cancel the check and return the underlying
proceeds to you by depositing the proceeds into your account.
To help ensure the proper discharge of debits, it is our policy (unless
we agree to do otherwise) to do the following when settling debits
against your account. Activity in your account such as wire disburse-
ments and bill payments are debited from your account.
If you utilize a Fidelity money market fund as your core position and
there are debits in your account generated by such activity occurring
prior to the market close each business day (or 4:00 PM ET on busi-
ness days when the market is closed and the Fedwire Funds Service
is operating) these debits will be settled using the following sources,
in this order:
the Intra-day Free Credit Balance
the core account
any shares of a Fidelity money market mutual fund held in the
account that maintains a stable (i.e., $1.00/share) net asset value
and is not subject to a liquidity fee or similar fee or assessment
if you have a margin account, any margin surplus available, which
will increase your margin balance
If you utilize an option other than a Fidelity money market fund as
your core position, and there are debits in your account generated
by such activity occurring prior to Fidelity’s nightly processing cycle
these debits will be settled using the following sources, in this order:
any Intra-day Free Credit Balances
the core account
any shares of a Fidelity money market mutual fund held in the
account that maintains a stable (i.e., $1.00/share) net asset value
and is not subject to a liquidity fee or similar fee or assessment
if you have a margin account, any margin surplus available, which
will increase your margin balance
If you utilize Fidelity money market mutual fund as your core position,
there will be an additional sweep early in the morning prior to the start
of business on each business day, and certain unsettled debits in your
account along with debits associated with certain actual or anticipated
transactions that would otherwise generate a debit in your account
during the business day will be settled using the core account.
In addition to the foregoing, we may turn to the following sources:
any shares of a Fidelity money market fund held in another non-
retirement account with the same registration (which you authorize
us to sell for this purpose when you sign the application)
any securities in any other account at Fidelity in which you have an
interest
If you want to opt out of the foregoing, please contact Fidelity for
more information.
In the event that your account does not contain sufficient cash,
Fidelity may liquidate securities to satisfy a court order, levy, or any
other legal process payment. Money market fund shares used to pay
debits are redeemed at the share price in effect at the time. For dis-
closures concerning money market funds, see “Money Market Fund
Investments.”
Resolving Unpaid Obligations or Other Obligations
If certain of the sources listed above in “Debits to Your Account”
(which are defined as your “available balance” for purposes of this
agreement) are not enough to satisfy a given debit, we reserve the
right to take action as we see fit, including any of the following:
advance funds to your account from your credit card
decline to honor the debit, which may result in fees (such as
a returned check fee) or other consequences for you
if you have a margin account and the unsatisfied debit is for a
securities purchase, draw on the available balance of another
account of yours at Fidelity
If you have a margin account, we may transfer to that account any
unresolved debit from other accounts of yours.
Note that at any time, we may reduce your available balance to cover
obligations that have occurred but not yet been debited, including
but not limited to withholding taxes that should have been deducted
from your account.
It is important to understand that we do have additional choices for
resolving unsatisfied obligations. Like many other securities brokers,
we reserve the right to sell or otherwise use assets in an account
to discharge any obligations the account owner(s) may have to us
(including unmatured and contingent obligations), and to do so
without further notice or demand. For example, if you have bought
securities but not paid for them, we may sell them ourselves and use
the proceeds to settle the purchase.
We may also use property to satisfy a margin deficiency or other
obligation, whether or not we have made advances in connection
with this property. This provision extends to any property held by you
or carried for any account of yours, including any credit balances,
assets, and contracts, as well as shares of any mutual funds
or other investment companies for which Fidelity or an affiliate
provides management or administrative services. Although Fidelity
may use other methods when it determines they may be more appro-
priate, Fidelity reserves the right to use the provisions described in
this section at any time, except in cases involving retirement accounts
when these provisions would conflict with the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) or the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, both as amended.
Transaction Settlement Deadlines
Generally, you need to pay for all transactions or deliver all securities
by 2 p.m. Eastern time on the settlement date. We reserve the right
to cancel or liquidate, at your risk, any transaction not settled in a
timely way. Unless we require otherwise, margin calls are due on or
before the date indicated, regardless of the settlement date of the
transactions, also by 2 p.m. Eastern time.
Non-Transferable Securities
In the event that any securities in your account become non-transfer-
able, NFS may remove them from your account without prior notice.
Non-transferable securities are those where transfer agent services
have not been available for six or more years. A lack of transfer
agent services may be due to a number of reasons, including that
the issuer of such securities may no longer be in business and may
even be insolvent. NFS may remove non-transferable securities from
your account pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission
approved program that permits our custodian for these securities to
no longer maintain the physical certificates representing the positions
in these securities. Please note the following:
There are no known markets for these securities.
We are unable to deliver certificates to you representing these
positions.
These transactions will not appear on Form 1099 or any other
tax-reporting form.
If the position is held in a retirement account, we will not report the
removal of the position as a taxable distribution and any reinstate-
ment of the position will not be reported as a contribution.
If transfer agent services become available sometime in the future,
NFS will use its best efforts to have the position reinstated in your
account.
Positions removed from your account will appear on your next avail-
able account statement following such removal as an “Expired”
transaction.
By opening and maintaining an account with us, you consent to
our actions as we have described them above, and you waive any
claims against us arising out of such actions. You also understand
that we do not provide tax advice concerning your account or any
securities that may be the subject of removal from or reinstatement
into your account, and you agree to consult with your own tax advisor
concerning any tax implications that may arise as a result of any of
these circumstances.
Policies on Optional Features
Debit Cards and Fidelity BillPay
®
Service
These features are available to nonretirement accounts that have
individual or joint registrations. Some cards may be available for trust
or retirement registrations. On joint accounts, a co-owner may apply
for an additional card in his or her own name. As an account owner,
you are responsible for all usage of these features.
Each of these features is covered by its own customer agreement,
which collectively are incorporated herein by reference (are legally
considered part of this agreement). The appropriate agreement will
be provided to you when you apply for a feature. For each feature
you choose, it is your responsibility to understand the terms of its
agreement before you begin using the feature. In the case of credit
or debit cards, it is also your responsibility to advise any other card
holders on your account that these agreements will apply to them,
that they may be responsible for paying any charges you or other
card holders fail to pay, and that their credit records may be affected
by any activity on the account, whether attributable to them or not.
Total debit card transactions generally are limited to your available
balance.
Note that on any account, we typically reduce your available balance
at the time you make a debit card transaction, rather than waiting for
the transaction to be posted to your account.
Bank Wires and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFTs)
Bank wire transfers to your bank are normally processed the same
day, depending on the time received. A wire normally may be for
between $10,000 and $999,999.
EFTs are normally completed within three business days of your
request. Money deposited via EFT is normally not available for
withdrawal for four to six business days. An EFT transfer may be for
between $10 and $100,000. For the EFT feature to be established, at
least one common name must match exactly between your Fidelity
and bank accounts. To send and receive EFT transactions, your bank
must be a member of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system.
For EFT transactions, you hereby grant us limited power of attorney
for purposes of redeeming any shares in your accounts (with the
right to make any necessary substitutions), and direct us to accept
any orders to make payments to an authorized bank account and to
fulfill these orders through the redemption of shares in your account.
You agree that the above appointments and authorizations will con-
tinue until we receive written notice of any change, although we may
cease to act as agents to the above appointments on 30 days’ written
notice to your account’s address of record. You further understand
that Fidelity may notify you electronically or by phone when the EFT
feature is set up or EFT transactions are initiated on your account.
If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account,
at least once every 60 days from the same person or company,
you can call Fidelity at 800-343-3548 to find out whether or not the
deposit has been made.
Dividend Reinvestment Program
With this feature, all dividends paid by eligible securities that you
designate for reinvestment are automatically reinvested in addi-
tional shares of the same security. (For purposes of the Dividend
Reinvestment Program, “dividends” means cash dividends and
capital gain distributions, late ex-dividend payments, and special
dividend payments, but not cash-in-lieu payments.) In designating
any eligible security for reinvestment, you authorize us to purchase
shares of that security for your account.
To be eligible for this feature, a security must satisfy all of the
following:
be a closed-end fund, common stock, or foreign security (generally
American depository receipts [ADRs])
be margin eligible (as defined by NFS)
be held in street name by NFS (or at a securities depository on
its behalf)
not be held as a short position
Dividends are reinvested on shares that satisfy all of the following:
the security is eligible
you own the shares on the dividend record date
you own the shares on the dividend payable date (even if you sell
them that day)
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Trading in Volatile Markets Understand the Risks
Volatile markets can present higher trading
risks. Ways to manage some of these risks
include:
Consider placing limit orders instead
of market orders In certain market
conditions or with certain types of
securities offerings (such as IPOs and
technology stocks), price changes
may be significant and rapid during
regular or after-hours trading. In these
cases, placing a market order could
result in a transaction that exceeds
your available funds, meaning that
Fidelity would have the right to sell
other assets in your account. This is
especially a risk in accounts that you
cannot easily add money to, such as
retirement accounts.
Be aware that quotes, order execu-
tions, and execution reports could
be delayed
During periods of
heavy trading or volatility, quotes
that are provided as “real time” may
be stale even if they appear not
to be and you may not receive
every quote update. Security prices
can change dramatically during such
delays, and order execution may be
delayed or unavailable.
If you attempt to cancel an order,
understand that there is no guar
-
antee that an open order can be
canceled, in whole or in part
If you
wish to replace an order you have
attempted to cancel, be sure your
original order is actually canceled.
Don’t rely on a receipt for your can-
cellation order; that order may have
arrived too late for us to act on.
Use other ways to access Fidelity
during peak volume times
Phone or
computer capacity limitations could
mean delays in getting information or
placing orders. If you are having prob-
lems with one method, try another.
The chances of encountering these risks
are higher for individuals using day-trad-
ing strategies. In part for this reason,
Fidelity does not promote day-trading
strategies.
For more information on trading risks and
how to manage them, visit Fidelity.com or
contact Fidelity.
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
your position in the security has been settled on or before the
dividend record date
the shares are designated for reinvestment as of 9 p.m. Eastern
time on the dividend record date
Shares purchased through the Dividend Reinvestment Program
will generally be placed in your account as of the dividend payable
date. Note, however, that the stock price at which your reinvestment
occurs is not necessarily the same as the price that is in effect on
the dividend payable date. This is because we generally buy the
shares of domestic companies two business days before the div-
idend payable date, at the market price(s) in effect at the time, in
order to help ensure that we have shares on hand to place in your
account on the dividend payable date. Other factors may require
the purchase of the shares on a different business day, which may
be before, on, or after the dividend payable date, e.g., dividends of
foreign companies. Also, shares of securities that have an irregular
ex-dividend date are purchased on the ex-dividend date and placed
in your account on the second business day following the ex-div-
idend date. Therefore, you may end up receiving more or fewer
shares than if your dividend had been reinvested on the dividend
payable date itself, particularly if there are significant changes in
the market price of a security just before its dividend payable date.
If several purchase transactions are necessary to reinvest your and
other customers’ dividends in a particular security, the price per
share will be the weighted average price per share for all shares pur-
chased. If sufficient shares are unavailable in the market to satisfy all
customers’ requirements for dividend reinvestment for a security, the
dividend will not be reinvested. The reinvestment of dividends may
be delayed in certain circumstances. NFS reserves the right to sus-
pend or completely remove securities from participation in dividend
reinvestment and credit such dividends in cash at any time without
notice.
Automatic reinvestments often involve purchase of fractional shares,
calculated to three decimal places. Partial shares pay prorated divi-
dends and can be sold if you sell your entire share position, and will
be liquidated automatically in transfers and certain other situations,
but otherwise typically cannot be sold.
Although for dividend reinvestments your regular account state-
ment takes the place of a trade confirmation, you can generally
obtain status information the day after the reinvestment date by
contacting Fidelity.
If you transfer or reregister your account within Fidelity (for exam-
ple, by changing from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA), you need to
re-designate any securities whose dividends you want reinvested.
DTC’s Dividend Reinvestment Program
For certain securities, dividend reinvestment may occur through
DTC’s (Depository Trust Company) dividend reinvestment program
(DRP). This plan may be utilized if an issuer offers reinvestment at
a discount. Eligibility for a security to be enrolled in the DRP or the
Fidelity dividend reinvestment program is determined by Fidelity
and may change without notice. A DRP transaction will post to your
account when the shares are made available to Fidelity by DTC.
Such transactions are generally posted within 15 days after pay date.
Note that dividend reinvestment does not ensure a profit on your
investments and does not protect against loss in declining markets.
If you sell your dividend-generating shares before the posting date,
the dividend will not be reinvested.
Optional Dividends
At times certain issuers that pay dividends may offer shareholders
an opportunity to elect to receive stock or cash, or a combination
of both. This is known as an “Optional Dividend.” The issuer will
assign a default if no instruction is received. For example, the
default option could be cash, stock, or a combination of both. You
have the opportunity up until the applicable deadline to make an
election to receive the payment of your choice. Please be advised, if
you do not make an election prior to the deadline, your account will
be assigned a default election based on the dividend reinvestment
program instructions you established with respect to your account.
This default election will be utilized in lieu of the issuer’s default
option being applied to your account.
Fractional Share Trading
Fidelity’s fractional share trading functionality allows you to buy
and sell fractional share quantities and dollar amounts of certain
securities (“Fractional Trading”). Fractional Trading presents unique
risks and has certain limitations that you should understand before
placing your first trade.
Trading
Orders to buy or sell may be entered using either a fractional share
quantity (e.g., 2.525 shares) or a dollar value (e.g., $250.00). Share
quantities can be specified to three decimal places (.001). Dollar-
value orders will be converted into share quantities for execution,
again, to three decimal places. In all cases, when converting
dollar-value orders into share quantities, the share quantities will
be rounded down.
For a variety of reasons, including but not limited to this conversion
convention, the actual amount of an executed dollar-value trade
may be different from the requested amount. The actual amount
of an executed order to buy or sell a dollar value of a security may
also be lower than the amount requested due to the deduction of
certain fees (e.g., the Additional Assessment) or taxes.
Orders received in good form by FBS will be accepted and trans-
mitted to NFS for execution. You may attempt to cancel an order,
but there is no ability to request that an order be “cancelled and
replaced” (i.e., you cannot modify an order once it has been sub-
mitted). Instead, you will need to cancel your order and then submit
a new one.
Fractional Trading supports market and limit orders only for frac-
tional share quantities of a security that are good for that day’s
trading session, or in the case of an order entered outside of mar-
ket hours, that are good until the close of the next trading session.
Because of this, your ability to buy or sell a security using Fractional
Trading may be more restricted than if you were to buy or sell tradi-
tional whole share quantities of the same security.
In the event of a trading halt of a security, Fractional Trading of that
security will also be halted, and your order will be held until trading
resumes. However, your order is good only for that day’s trading
session, or in the case of an order entered outside of market hours,
good until the close of the next trading session. If trading does
not resume or your order is not executed by the close of that day’s
Fractional Trading window, it will be cancelled.
You can generally trade exchange-listed National Market System
(“NMS”) stocks using the Fractional Trading functionality. However,
certain NMS stocks may not be made available for Fractional
Trading, and Fidelity reserves the right to modify the list of eligible
NMS stocks at any time without notice to you. Any modification to
the list of eligible NMS stocks available for Fractional Trading will
not affect any fractional share interests previously acquired by you.
Additionally, you may not be able to place trades through some
of Fidelity’s order entry platforms (e.g., Fractional Trading may be
available via mobile device but not through the live representative
channel).
Trade Execution
FBS will act as your agent and NFS will act in either a principal or a
mixed capacity (i.e., both as agent and principal) when executing
your order. The whole share component of any order will be exe-
cuted by NFS as agent at the price NFS receives in the market. The
fractional share component of any order will be executed by NFS as
principal against its principal account. When a fractional share inter-
est is allocated to your account, NFS will maintain custody of the
whole share in which you have the fractional interest. Any fractional
share interest in the whole share not allocated to your account may
be allocated to other customers or to NFS as principal.
All orders with a fractional share component will be marked “Not
Held,” which gives Fidelity the time and price discretion to execute
the order without being held to the security’s current quote. In
connection therewith, each time you submit an order to buy or sell
a fractional share quantity or dollar amount of a particular security,
you authorize NFS to “work the order.” If you do not wish your
order to be handled on a Not Held basis, you should not engage in
Fractional Trading.
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
In the case of a sale of the fractional component of any order, that
sale will be executed at the then current National Best Bid or Offer
(“NBBO”). Please note that this price may be higher or lower than
the price at the time you place your order. In the case of a purchase
of the fractional component of any order, if NFS has sufficient princi-
pal inventory, that purchase will also be executed at the then current
NBBO. However, if NFS does not have sufficient principal inventory,
that purchase will be executed at the price received in the market.
For orders placed prior to market open, Fidelity may wait for the
primary exchange to open before commencing trading in a particu-
lar security. When trading as principal for its own account, NFS may
make a profit or incur a loss on each trade.
Additionally, NFS may be required to correct or adjust trades that
(for a variety of reasons) have been executed in amounts that either
exceed or fall short of the amounts requested. These trade correc-
tions and adjustments could arise in connection with either or both
of the agency and principal components of the executed orders.
Regardless, these trade corrections and adjustments will be executed
by NFS in a principal capacity, and when trading as principal for its
own account, NFS may make a profit or incur a loss.
Shareholder Rights
Fractional share interests in an NMS security generally have different
rights from full share interests of the same NMS security. Please read
the following information carefully to understand your rights regard-
ing your fractional share interests.
Fractional share positions cannot be transferred or certificated. The
Automated Customer Account Transfer System does not support
fractional share positions. If you want to transfer your account or spe-
cific share positions to another broker, you must sell your fractional
positions and transfer the cash proceeds.
You hereby direct NFS, and NFS hereby agrees, not to vote or take
any discretionary or voluntary action with respect to any fractional
share position. Furthermore, you acknowledge that you cannot vote
or take any discretionary or voluntary action with respect to any frac-
tional share position. Accordingly, while NFS may notify you of issuer
meetings, NFS will not solicit proxies in connection with fractional
share positions, and you cannot vote proxies for fractional share posi-
tions. Fractional shareholders will not be able to provide instruction
in connection with voluntary corporate actions (e.g., tenders), except
for optional dividends; and NFS will not vote proxies for any frac-
tional shares it holds as principal and will not affirmatively participate
in any voluntary corporate actions.
In the case of a dividend paid on, or a redemption of, an NMS secu-
rity, the dividend or redemption proceeds will be passed along to
you in proportion to your ownership interest, inclusive of fractional
share interests. NFS will only support payments that are equal to
or greater than $.01 per share. Amounts smaller than that, or non-
divisible amounts (based on the .001 rounding convention described
above), will be handled in accordance with the process described in
the section titled “Undistributable Interests” below.
Holders of fractional share positions may participate in dividend rein-
vestment programs (“DRIPS”) to the same extent as if they owned a
full share (adjusted for their fractional share interest in the dividend).
In the event that the amount is too small to be reinvested (based on
the .001 rounding convention described above), but large enough
to be distributed as cash (i.e., at least $0.01), it will be paid to you.
Smaller amounts will be handled in accordance with the process
described in the section titled “Undistributable Interests” below.
For mandatory reorganizations, such as mergers and acquisitions,
or other involuntary corporate actions, such as stock splits or stock
dividends, typically NFS will distribute interests in proportion to your
ownership interest, inclusive of fractional share interests. NFS will
distribute interests in fractional amounts to three decimal places.
Amounts smaller than that, or nondivisible amounts, will be han-
dled in accordance with the process described in the section titled
“Undistributable Interests” below. The foregoing notwithstanding,
these situations are in all cases subject to the terms contained in the
materials prepared by the issuer describing the corporate action, as
well as NFS’s applicable policies and procedures, which may result in
a different outcome from what is described herein.
Because of the unpredictable nature of corporate actions, there
may be situations that arise that are not described previously.
Generally, these situations will be handled in accordance with the
concepts applicable to dividends and reorganizations. Interests will
be divided and distributed where possible in proportion to your
ownership interest, and anything that cannot be divided will be han-
dled in accordance with the process described in the section titled
“Undistributable Interests” below. The foregoing notwithstanding,
these situations are in all cases subject to the terms contained in the
materials prepared by the issuer describing the corporate action, as
well as NFS’s applicable policies and procedures, which may result in
a different outcome from what is described above.
Undistributable Interests
NFS will only support payments that are equal to or greater than $.01
per share. Amounts smaller than that, or nondivisible amounts (based
on the .001 rounding convention described above), will not be
distributed. Instead, it is generally but not always the case that when
the aggregate value to be distributed is less than or equal to $1.00,
it will be retained by NFS, and when it exceeds $1.00, it will be
escheated.
Tax Treatment
NFS and you agree to treat you as the owner of all fractional share
interests allocated to your account, to file all tax returns in accor-
dance with such treatment, and to take no action inconsistent with
such treatment.
Additional Considerations
Fractional share positions may be illiquid. NFS does not guarantee
that there will be a market for fractional share positions and makes
no representations or warranties about its ability or willingness to
continue to trade as principal in fractional share quantities.
If your account is closed, your fractional shares may be liquidated
and the proceeds distributed to you as cash.
The fractional share component of certain orders may not be eligible
for “Price Improvement.” Also, Price Improvement will operate differ-
ently, and in some situations less advantageously, in connection with
Fractional Trading from the way it would if you were trading in whole
share quantities. Additionally, because in certain situations Price
Improvement on the fractional share component of an order will
affect the execution price rather than the share quantity of an order,
the effect of the improvement on a dollar-value order in those situa-
tions will be to increase or decrease the value of the order outside of
what was requested.
If your account has been approved for margin, notwithstanding the
terms of the Customer Agreement, Fidelity will not lend (hypothe-
cate) your fractional share positions.
If you hold fractional share positions in your account (these positions
come about for a variety of reasons, such as DRIPs or corporate
actions), it has been Fidelity’s practice to automatically sell these
holdings when you place an order to sell your entire whole share
position (“Auto-liquidate”). The first time you place an order to buy
or sell a security using the Fractional Trading functionality, we will
turn off the Auto-liquidate feature in your account so that going for-
ward, those positions will be handled like any other fractional share
position acquired using Fractional Trading (i.e., you will need to affir-
matively sell those fractional share positions if you wish to sell your
entire position in that security).
Fidelity Stock Plan Services
If you are a participant in equity compensation plans (“Stock Plans”)
and associated equity compensation rights under those Stock Plans
(collectively “Rights”) of your employer (together with its affiliates the
“Issuer”) for which Fidelity Stock Plan Services provides recordkeep-
ing and administrative services (the “Stock Plan Services”), then with
respect to the Stock Plan Services and your individual
brokerage account identified to be used in connection with the Stock
Plan Services, you agree as follows:
You acknowledge that the terms of the Stock Plans and of your
Rights are determined by the Issuer, and that you have received,
reviewed, and understand the information distributed to you by the
Issuer in connection with such Stock Plans and Rights, including any
applicable prospectus, grant, or enrollment agreement, or other
Stock Plan document (collectively “Plan Documents”).
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
You acknowledge that various federal and state laws or regulations
may be applicable to your transactions, including, without limitation,
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and you agree to conduct these
transactions in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations.
You acknowledge that your rights and obligations with respect to the
Rights (including, without limitation, quantities, vesting dates, and
expiration dates) are determined under the Plan Documents, and
that if any information provided by Fidelity to you (whether verbally
or in writing) conflicts with the provisions of the Plan Documents, the
information in the Plan Documents will control.
You acknowledge that certain events may affect your rights and
obligations with respect to the Rights (including, without limitation,
changes in your employment relationship with the Issuer), and that
you are responsible for understanding your rights and obligations
with respect to the Rights.
You authorize Fidelity to act on your instructions (given in writing, by
telephone, or electronically) with respect to Rights in connection with
the Issuer, including, without limitation, to exercise, purchase shares,
or take other actions with respect to the Rights on your behalf, or to
hold, transfer, or sell shares in your account.
You authorize and direct Fidelity to act on instructions given on your
behalf by the Issuer to Fidelity with respect to Rights in connection
with the Issuer, including, without limitation, to exercise, to purchase
shares, to take other actions with respect to the Rights on your
behalf, to sell shares in your account, and to transfer shares or funds
from your account to the Issuer or its agent for payments relating to
the Rights, including, without limitation, withholding and exercise or
purchase price for the Rights.
You understand that your instructions to Fidelity are irrevocable,
except in the case of an unexecuted limit order, which you may
attempt to cancel.
You authorize the Issuer or its agent to rely without further investiga-
tion on this authorization as conclusive evidence of your irrevocable
election to authorize Fidelity to act on your behalf with respect to
the Rights, including exercising your Rights in accordance with and
subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions of the Issuer’s Stock
Plans and the Plan Documents.
In connection with certain Stock Plans, you may agree to certain con-
tractual limitations on the shares that you obtain through the Stock
Plan, including, without limitation, contractual restrictions on your
ability to sell securities you obtain in connection with Stock Plans,
and you hereby consent to and authorize Fidelity to take actions
reasonable and necessary to enforce such contractual limitations in
accordance with the Stock Plans and the Plan Documents.
You authorize Fidelity, the Issuer, and their agents to exchange
information regarding the exercise of your Rights and your purchase
and sale of shares, including, without limitation, notice of exercise,
number of shares, sale date, sale price, and income tax information
relating to compensation income and tax withholding in relation to
these transactions and subsequent sales, transfers, and dispositions
of shares.
Fidelity reserves the right to reject any order to sell shares in your
account until shares are properly delivered by the Issuer and depos-
ited into your account.
You authorize the Issuer or its agent to issue shares in connection
with any Rights to Fidelity in street name and to forward the shares
(plus any dividend, split, or similar distribution paid by the Issuer
or its agent with respect to such shares) directly to Fidelity for your
account.
You acknowledge that the Rights were granted in connection with
your employment and, at the time of exercise, purchase, or other
direction you give to Fidelity, you will be authorized to exercise, pur-
chase, or take such other action.
You understand that the Rights and/or the subsequent sale of the
shares may have significant tax consequences. You further understand
that Fidelity and its agents and employees are not authorized to give
you tax or investment advice, and you have consulted such other
sources you deem appropriate in connection with your transactions.
You agree to indemnify Fidelity for any loss we may suffer as a result
of our compliance with the authorizations set forth herein and any
instructions given by you.
Precious Metals
Precious metals are not covered by SIPC account protection, but are
insured by the depository at market value if stored through us. When
trading precious metals, note that because they can experience
sudden and rapid price changes, they are risky as investments, and we
cannot guarantee you an advantageous price when you trade them.
If you take delivery of precious metals, delivery charges, sales and use
taxes, and storage fees will apply.
Closing Your Account
We can close your account, or terminate any optional feature,
at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice. You can close
your account, or terminate any optional feature, by notifying us in
writing or calling us on a recorded line. We may automatically close
accounts with zero balances.
Regardless of how or when your account is closed, you will remain
responsible for all charges, debit items, or other transactions you
initiated or authorized, whether arising before or after termination.
Note that a final disbursement of assets may be delayed until any
remaining issues have been resolved.
If your account has a balance of less than $100 and no account activ-
ity has occurred for a 6-month period, you authorize Fidelity to sell
the securities in the account, send a check for all the proceeds and
any other cash to your address of record, and close your account.
Monitoring Your Account and
Notifying Us of Errors
As an account owner, you are responsible for monitoring your account.
This includes making sure that you are receiving transaction confirma-
tions, account statements, and any other expected communications. It
also includes reviewing these documents to see that information about
your account is accurate and contains nothing suspicious. Please note
that, unless we have otherwise contractually agreed to do so, we do
not have an ongoing responsibility to monitor an investment strategy,
account type, or securities bought, sold, or held in your account, even
in cases where we have made a recommendation.
Note that so long as we send communications to you at the physical or
electronic address of record given on the application, or to any other
address given to us by an authorized person, the communications are
legally presumed to have been delivered, whether you actually received
them or not. In addition, confirmations and statements are legally pre-
sumed to be accurate unless you specifically tell us otherwise.
If you have not received a communication you expected, or if
you have a question or believe you have found an error in any
communication from us, telephone us immediately, then follow up
with written confirmation.
You agree to notify us immediately if:
you placed an order electronically but did not receive a reference
number for it (an electronic order is not considered received until
we have issued an acknowledgment)
you received confirmation of an order you did not place, or any
similar conflicting report
there is any other type of discrepancy or suspicious or unexplained
occurrence relating to your account
your password or access device is lost or stolen, or you believe
someone has been using it without authorization
If any of these conditions occurs and you fail to notify us immediately,
neither we nor any other Fidelity affiliate will be liable for any con-
sequences. If you do immediately notify us, our liability is limited as
described in this agreement.
With any feature or service that is governed by a separate agreement
(such as a credit card agreement), note that different policies con-
cerning error resolution and liability may apply, as described in the
separate agreement.
If, through any error, you have received property that is not rightfully
yours, you agree to notify us and return the property immediately.
If we identify an error in connection with property you have received
from or through us or a Fidelity affiliate and determine it is not right-
fully yours, you agree that we may take action to correct the error,
which may include returning such property to the rightful owner.
Complying with Applicable Laws
and Regulations
In keeping with federal and state laws, and with securities industry
regulations, you agree to notify us in writing if any of the following
occur (with all terms in quotes defined as being within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933):
if you are, or later become, an employee or other “associated per-
son” of a stock exchange, a member firm of an exchange or the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a municipal securi-
ties dealer, or Fidelity or any Fidelity “affiliate”
if you are, or later become, an “affiliate” or “control person” with
respect to any security held in your account
if any transactions in your account regarding securities whose
resale, transfer, delivery, or negotiation must be reported under
state or federal laws
You also agree to:
if you are, or later become, an “associated person” of a member
firm of an exchange or FINRA, that you have obtained consent of
the “employer member,” and you authorize Fidelity upon request by
an employer member to transmit copies of confirmations and state-
ments, or the transactional data contained therein, with respect to all
of your accounts, including all accounts subject to FINRA rules and
unit investment trusts, municipal fund securities, and qualified pro-
grams pursuant to Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.
to ensure that your account transactions comply with all applicable
laws and regulations, understanding that any transaction subject to
special conditions may be delayed until those conditions are met
to comply with all policies and procedures concerning “restricted”
and “control” securities that we may require
to comply with any insider trading policies that may apply to you as
an employee or “affiliate” of the issuer of a security
We will assume that any securities or transactions in your account
are not subject to the laws and regulations regarding “restricted” and
“control” securities unless you specifically tell us otherwise.
If you or another individual associated with your account resides out-
side the U.S., Fidelity may at any time in its sole discretion terminate
that relationship, or modify your rights to access any or all account
features, products or services. By opening or maintaining an account
with Fidelity, you acknowledge that Fidelity does not solicit offers to
buy or sell securities, or any other product or service, to any person in
any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would
be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction.
Limits to Our Responsibility
Although we strive to ensure the quality and reliability of our services,
including electronic services (such as online, wireless, and automated
telephone services), neither we nor any third party whose services we
arrange for are responsible for the availability, accuracy, timeliness,
completeness, or security of any service related to your account.
You therefore agree that we are not responsible for any losses you
incur (meaning claims, damages, actions, demands, investment
losses, or other losses, as well as any costs, charges, attorneys’ fees,
or other fees and expenses) as a result of any of the following:
the acceptance and processing of any order placed on your
account, whether received electronically or through other means, as
long as the order reasonably appears to be authentic
cancellation of an accepted/executed trade in which Fidelity rea-
sonably determines, in its sole discretion, that there was a data,
clerical or other similar error in the handling or processing of the
trade, including but not limited to situations where a third-party
caused such error
cancellation of an accepted/executed trade when dealers and/
or contra-parties notify Fidelity that they are unable to deliver the
bonds because the order was filled in error
investment decisions or instructions placed on your account, or
other such actions attributable to you or any authorized person
occurrences related to governments or markets, such as restrictions,
suspensions of trading, or high market volatility or trading volumes
uncontrollable circumstances in the world at large, such as wars,
earthquakes, power outages, or unusual weather conditions
occurrences related to computers and communications, such
as a network or systems failure, a message interception, or an
instance of unauthorized access or breach of security
with respect to electronically provided market data or other informa-
tion provided by third parties, any flaw in the timing, transmission,
receipt, or substance (such as any inaccuracy, error, delay, omission,
or sequence error, any nonperformance, or any interruption of infor-
mation), regardless of who or what has caused it to occur
the storage and use of information about you and your account(s)
by our systems and transmission of this information between you
and us; these activities occur entirely at your risk
the usage of information received by you or us through any
electronic services
telephone requests for redemptions, so long as we transmit the
proceeds to you or the bank account number identified
difficulties receiving information or accessing your account that are
due to the equipment you use, including difficulties resulting from
technical incompatibilities, malfunctions, inherent limitations, or
interruptions in service
any checks or other debits to your account that are not honored
because the account has insufficient funds
If any service failure is determined to be our responsibility, we will be
liable only for whatever benefit you would have realized up to the time
by which you should have notified us, as specified earlier in “Monitoring
Your Account and Notifying Us of Errors.” Fidelity reserves the right to
restrict your account from withdrawals and/or trades if there is a reason-
able suspicion of fraud, diminished capacity, or inappropriate activity.
Fidelity also reserves the right to restrict your account from withdrawals
and/or trades if Fidelity is put on reasonable notice that the ownership
of some or all of the assets in the account is in dispute.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us from, and hold us harmless for, any losses
(as defined in “Limits to our Responsibility”) resulting from your
actions or failures to act, whether intentional or not, including losses
resulting from actions taken by third parties.
If you use any third-party services or devices in connection with your
account (such as Internet service or wireless devices), all service agree-
ments and payments for these are your responsibility. Rates and terms
are set by the service providers and are not Fidelity’s responsibility.
Note that beyond taking reasonable steps to verify the authenticity
of instructions, we have no obligation to inquire into the purpose,
wisdom, or propriety of any instruction we receive.
Terms Concerning This Agreement
Applicability
This agreement is the only agreement between you and us concern-
ing its subject matter, and covers all accounts that you, at whatever
time, open, reopen, or have opened with us. In addition, if you
have already entered into any agreements concerning services or
features that relate to this account (such as the usage agreement
for Fidelity.com), or if you do so in the future, this agreement incor-
porates by reference the terms, conditions, and policies of those
agreements. In the case of any conflict between this agreement and
an agreement for a particular service or feature, the service or fea-
ture agreement will prevail.
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Governing Laws and Policies
This agreement and its enforcement are governed by the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except with respect to its
conflicts-of-law provisions.
All transactions through Fidelity are subject to the rules and customs
of the marketplace where they are executed, as well as applicable
state and federal laws. In addition, the services below are subject to
the following laws and policies:
Securities trades: any Fidelity trading policies and limitations that
are in effect at the time
Online services: the license or usage terms posted online
Checkwriting: the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commer cial
Code and the terms governing the service
Modification and Enforcement
We may amend or terminate this agreement at any time. This may
include changing, dropping, or adding fees and policies, changing
features and services or the entities that provide them (such as the
bank that provides clearing services for checkwriting), and limiting
the usage or availability of any feature or service, within the lim-
its of applicable laws and regulations. Although it is our policy to
send notice to account owners of any material changes, we are not
obligated to do so in most cases. Outside of changes originating
in these ways, no provision of this agreement can be amended or
waived except in writing by an authorized representative of Fidelity.
Fidelity may transfer its interests in this account or agreement to
any of its successors and assigns, whether by merger, consolidation,
or otherwise. You may not transfer your interests in your account
or agreement (including de facto transferal by giving a nonowner
access to the account using a password) except with the prior written
approval of Fidelity, or through inheritance, corporate dissolution, or
similar circumstance, as allowed by law, in which case any rights and
obligations in existence at the time will accrue to, and be binding on,
your heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns.
We may enforce this agreement against any and all account owners.
In addition, any securities exchanges or associations that provide
information to you through your account may enforce the terms of
this agreement directly against you. Although we may not always
enforce certain provisions of this agreement, we retain our full right
to do so at any time.
If any provision of this agreement is found to be in conflict with
applicable laws, rules, or regulations, either present or future, that
provision will be enforced to the maximum extent allowable, or made
to conform, as the case may be. However, the remainder of this
agreement will remain fully in effect.
Fidelity may use the electronically stored copy of your (or your
agent’s) signature, any written instructions or authorizations, the
account application and this agreement as the true, complete, valid,
authentic and enforceable record, admissible in judicial, admin-
istrative or arbitration proceedings to the same extent as if the
documents and records were originally generated and maintained in
printed form. You agree to not contest the admissibility or enforce-
ability of the electronically stored copies of such documents in any
proceeding between you and Fidelity.
Borrowing on Margin
While margin can be a beneficial tool for investors, it involves signif-
icant risks (see the box “Important Information about Margin and Its
Risks”) and is not suitable for all investors. Margin is not available on
retirement accounts.
If your account is approved for margin, you agree that all margin-
able assets will be held in a margin account, unless you tell us to
the contrary (precious metals are not marginable). The Intra-day and
After-hours Free Credit Balance, money in the core account, and
any cash dividends paid on marginable securities, are automatically
applied to your margin debt, unless you tell us otherwise.
When you borrow on margin, you agree to maintain the level of mar-
gin collateral we require (which we may change in our sole
discretion at any time without prior notice).
Should we believe it necessary to protect our interests, we may take
any or all of the following steps at any time without prior notice:
sell assets, or contracts relating to these, that are in your account
buy assets, or contracts relating to these, of which your account or
accounts may be short, in order to close out in whole or in part any
commitment on your behalf
place stop orders with respect to these securities
How and when we can take these steps:
at any time, during regular market hours or otherwise
for any cause, including but not limited to:
if the value of your account equity falls
if you fail to meet or indicate that you intend to fail to meet any
call for additional collateral
high market volatility
an account owner’s death or petition for bankruptcy
an attachment or court order
any other situation which, in Fidelity’s sole discretion,
believes such action is warranted to prevent the account
from going deficit
with or without notifying you that a call is due and even if you have
notified Fidelity that you will be providing additional
collateral for your Account
We may sell your securities or other assets without contacting you.
Some investors mistakenly believe that Fidelity must contact them for
a margin call to be valid, and that Fidelity cannot liquidate securities or
other assets in their accounts unless Fidelity has contacted them first.
This is not the case. Fidelity may attempt to notify you of margin calls,
but is not required to do so. In addition, even if Fidelity has contacted
you and provided a specific date by which you can meet a margin call,
Fidelity can still take the necessary steps to protect its financial interest
prior to that date, including immediately selling the securities without
notice to you. You understand that if Fidelity contacts you in advance
in certain instances, Fidelity is not obligated to do so and such action
will not be deemed a waiver of Fidelity’s rights under this agreement.
In addition, short positions are subject to buy-in at any time and you
bear sole responsibility for the buy-in price.
You understand and agree that you are responsible for any losses in
your account that may arise as a result of the actions outlined above.
Note that property in a margin account may be pledged or
repledged, hypothecated (loaned) or rehypothecated, either sep-
arately or in com mon with any other property, for as much as your
obligation to us or more, without our having to retain a like amount
of similar property in our control for delivery. Also, we may at any
time, and without notice to you, transfer any property between any
of your accounts, whether individual or joint, or from any of your
accounts to any account you guarantee. As permitted by law, we may
use certain securities for, among other things, settling short sales and
lending securities for short sales and as a result may receive compen-
sation in connection therewith.
Additional terms concerning margin appear elsewhere in this
agreement under “Your Commitments to Fidelity,” “Optional
Features,” “Account Usage,” and “Service Providers,” under “Fees”
in the Additional Information section, and in the section entitled
“Important Information about Margin and Its Risks.”

whom we or a third-party service provider has obtained information
about you, send a written request to us or the service provider,

provider to share information about you with other entities in turn,
it is your responsibility to inform the card issuer of this.

Service Providers
Brokerage account and margin credit services are provided by NFS,
an affiliate of FBS. Bonds may be traded through NFS (which may
choose to act as principal or agent) or through external dealers.
Services available through this account are the property of Fidelity
or the third parties from which Fidelity has obtained rights. Market
data provided by national securities exchanges or associations
remain the property of those entities.
Routing of Orders
FBS routes most customer orders to its affiliated broker-dealer, NFS,
which in turn sends orders to various exchanges or market centers
for execution. In deciding where to send an order, NFS looks at a
number of factors, such as size of order, trading characteristics of the
security, favorable execution prices (including the opportunity for
price improvement), access to reliable market data, availability of effi-
cient automated transaction processing, and execution cost. Some
market centers may execute orders at prices superior to the publicly
quoted market. Although you can instruct us to send an order to a
particular marketplace, our order-routing policies are designed to
result in transaction processing that is favorable for you. NFS reserves
the right to wait for the primary exchange to open before commenc-
ing trading in a particular security.
Conflicts of Interest and Compensation
Fidelity and its affiliates receive fees for providing certain products
and services. Below is a partial list of affiliates and the services they
are paid for:
Fidelity Management & Research Company fee for serving as an
investment advisor to the Fidelity funds.
FBS and/or NFS receives remuneration, compensation, or other
consideration (such as financial credits or reciprocal business) for
directing orders in certain securities to particular broker-dealers or
market centers for execution. In addition to sales loads and 12b-1
fees described in the prospectus, FBS and/or NFS receives other
compensation in connection with the purchase of certain mutual
fund shares and/or the ongoing maintenance of those positions in
your brokerage account. This additional compensation may be paid
by the mutual fund, its investment advisor, or one of its affiliates.
FBS, NFS, or their affiliates may receive compensation in connection
with the purchase and/or ongoing maintenance of positions in
certain mutual funds in your account. FBS, NFS, or their affiliates may
also receive compensation for such things as systems development
necessary to establish a fund on their systems, a fund’s attendance at
events for FBS’ clients, and/or representatives and opportunities for
the fund to promote its products and services. This compensation
may take the form of sales loads and 12b-1 fees described in
the prospectus; marketing, engagement and analytics program
participation fees; maintenance fees; start-up fees; and infrastructure
support paid by the fund, its investment advisor, or an affiliate.
Information about the source(s) and amount(s) of compensation as
well as other remuneration received by FBS and/or NFS and other
affiliates is also more fully described in the FBS Form CRS and the
Products, Services, and Conflicts of Interest disclosure document,
available online at Fidelity.com/Reg-BI-Disclosure and information
about the foregoing is also available upon written request.
Warranty Disclaimer
Neither we nor any third party makes any representations or
warranties express or implied, including, without limitation, any
implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose in respect of any services provided in connection with
this account, or any information programs or products obtained
from, through, or in connection with these services. In no event
will we or any third party be liable for direct, indirect, incidental,
or consequential damages resulting from any defect in or use of
these services.
Money Market Fund Investments
You could lose money by investing in a money market fund.
Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your invest-
ment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An
investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. Fidelity Investments and its affiliates, the fund’s sponsor,
have no legal obligation to provide financial support to money
market funds and you should not expect that the sponsor will
provide financial support to the fund at any time.
Redemption Features/Callable Securities
Lottery
Certain debt securities may have redemption features in addition
to those disclosed on the trade confirmation including, for exam-
ple, special mandatory redemption features such as sinking funds
provisions. It is the customer’s obligation to review all disclosure doc-
uments the customer may receive, and to understand the risks of calls
or early redemptions, which may affect yield. Issuers may, from time
to time, publish notices of offers to redeem callable securities within
limited time, price, and tender parameters. NFS is not obligated to
notify customers of such published calls. Information about whether
a municipal security is callable can be accessed via the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access
(“EMMA”) website (www.emma.msrb.org).
When street name or bearer securities held for you are subject to a
partial call or partial redemption by the issuer, NFS may or may not
receive an allocation of called/redeemed securities by the issuer,
transfer agent, and/or depository. If NFS is allocated a portion of the
called/redeemed securities, NFS utilizes an impartial lottery allocation
system, in accordance with applicable rules, that randomly selects
the securities within customer accounts that will be called/redeemed.
NFS’ allocations are not made on a pro rata basis and it is possible
for you to receive a full or partial allocation, or no allocation. You
have the right to withdraw uncalled fully paid securities at any time
prior to the cutoff date and time established by the issuer, transfer
agent, and/or depository with respect to the partial call, and also
to withdraw excess margin securities, provided your account is not
subject to restriction under the Federal Reserve’s Regulation T or
such withdrawal will not cause an undermargined condition. If you
have bought or sold a security, and prior to the settlement of your
trade, the issuer initiates a call of the security, NFS reserves the right
to cancel your trade. Customers are responsible for covering any out-
standing short positions, as well as any other resulting costs in their
account, that result from the lottery.
For more information and an example of the impartial lottery
process, please go to: http://personal.fidelity.com/products/
fixedincome/FI_Common_Risk.shtml.
Residents of Louisiana
If you are opening a joint account in Louisiana, you should be aware
that Louisiana does not recognize certain types of joint account
registrations. As a result, Fidelity will only establish a joint account
when directed by you to do so and only when you direct Fidelity to
establish such account as tenants in common. In connection with
your direction to establish this type of joint account, each account
owner expressly and irrevocably renounces the right to concur in the
disposition or alienation of the account by the other account owner
for the entire time the account is open, or the longest term allowed
by applicable law.
Texas House Bill 1454 “Designated
Representative”
For Texas residents (or those using a Texas address as a legal
address), under Texas House Bill 1454 Act No. 350, you, as an
account owner of shares of a mutual fund, may designate a represen-
tative for the purpose of receiving a due diligence notice; however,
you are not required to designate a representative. If you add a des-
ignated representative, you acknowledge that:
Fidelity is required to mail written notice to the representative, in
addition to mailing the notice to the owner, upon presumption of
abandonment of the account.
The designated representative does not have any rights to the
mutual fund shares and may not access the shares.
The process by which you select a designated representative is done
through a written form, which may be accessed online or requested
by phone.
Wisconsin Marital Property Act
Married Wisconsin residents should be aware that no provision of any
marital property agreement, unilateral agreement, or court decree
under Wisconsin’s Marital Property Act will adversely affect a credi-
tor’s interest unless, prior to the time credit is granted, the creditor is
furnished a copy of, or given complete information about, that agree-
ment or decree.
Residing Outside the United States
If we determine that you reside outside the United States, you will
be subject to certain limitations. While we generally make this
determination by looking at the address information on our books
and records (including the addresses maintained by the account
owner and certain individuals with control over the account), we
reserve the right to consider other information when making this
determination and/or subjecting you to these limitations.
Generally speaking, regardless of where you reside, you will be sub-
ject to certain limitations. These include, but are not limited to, the
following: (i) we will provide you with only ministerial or administrative
services, which means that, among other things, our representatives
will not engage in discussions with you about such topics as asset
allocation, income planning, or portfolio composition; and (ii) you will
not be permitted to purchase additional shares of any U.S. mutual
fund (except pursuant to a dividend reinvestment program or in other
limited circumstances), which among other things will affect the oper-
ation of your core account (please refer to the Core Account section
of this Agreement for further details).
In addition to the foregoing, depending on where you reside, you
may be subject to additional restrictions (for example, margin lend-
ing or options trading may not be permitted) up to and including
restrictions that will prevent you from making additional deposits or
purchasing additional securities positions (i.e., you will be prohibited
from doing anything in your account other than selling your existing
holdings and withdrawing the proceeds).
Notwithstanding the above, special rules govern your relationship
with us if you live in Canada. Because of this, and because every
situation is unique, you should contact Fidelity if you have questions
about how you may be affected. If you notify us that you do not
reside outside the U.S., these limitations may be lifted.
Unclaimed Property
Your account balance and certain uncashed checks issued from your
account may be transferred to a state unclaimed property admin-
istrator if no activity occurs in the account or the check remains
outstanding within the time period specified by the
applicable state law.

FIDELITY ACCOUNT CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Important Information about Using Margin and Its Risks
When you buy securities in your account,
you may pay for them in full or you may
borrow part of the purchase price from us,
using a margin account. In addition, hav-
ing margin on your account allows you to
establish a short position.
When you borrow on margin, the securities
in your account become our collateral for
the loan to you. A decline in the value of
these securities is therefore a decline in the
value of the collateral. We can respond in a
variety of ways, as described below.
Before you make use of margin in any
way, it’s essential to fully understand
the risks involved. These risks include:
You can lose more money than you
deposited in your margin account. If
securities you bought on margin go down
in price, you may face a “margin call,”
meaning you have to deposit more money
or marginable securities.
Fidelity can set stricter margin require-
ments than the industry minimum, and
can increase these “house” require-
ments in its sole discretion without
advance notice. An increase may take
effect immediately and may trigger a main-
tenance margin call without prior notice.
If you cannot meet a margin call,
Fidelity can force the sale of assets
in your account(s). If the equity in your
account falls below either industry min-
imums or Fidelity’s house requirements,
Fidelity can cover the deficiency by selling
securities or other assets in any account
of yours at Fidelity (including accounts at
other Fidelity affiliates) without prior notice.
If these assets are insufficient, you will be
responsible for making up any shortfall,
and potentially for paying Fidelity’s costs
for collecting the shortfall as well.
Fidelity can sell assets in your account
without contacting you. While Fidelity
generally attempts to notify customers of
margin calls, it is not required to do so.
Even if you are notified, Fidelity can still
sell assets before the time indicated in
the notice, if it believes such action is war-
ranted. You understand that if we contact
you in advance in certain instances, we are
not obligated to do so and such action
will not be deemed a waiver of our rights
under this agreement.
You are not entitled to choose which
securities are sold to meet a margin
call. Because your accounts form Fidelity’s
collateral for its loan to you, the choice of
what to sell is Fidelity’s.
You are not entitled to a time exten-
sion on a margin call. While Fidelity
may grant you an extension, it is not
required to do so. Granting an extension
on a margin call does not waive Fidelity’s
right to decline to grant an extension in
the future.
Short selling is a margin account trans-
action and not only entails the same
risks as described above, but also
entails additional risks. Short selling
allows you to integrate a number of
different strategies into your investment
approach so that you may potentially
profit from downward moves in a partic-
ular stock. However, if the price of the
security that you have sold short goes
up, you may incur a loss and that loss
may be unlimited. In addition, you may
be charged a short interest fee on the
securities that you have borrowed to
sell short and those fees may change,
sometimes significantly, without warn-
ing. All short sale orders are subject to
the availability of the stock being sold,
which must be confirmed by Fidelity
prior to the order being entered. Fidelity
can use your account to buy securities to
cover a short position without contacting
you. If you don’t have sufficient assets,
you are responsible for the shortfall and
collection costs.
Fidelity can loan out (to itself or others)
the securities that collateralize your
margin borrowing. If it does, you may
not be entitled to receive, with respect
to securities that are lent, certain benefits
that normally accrue to a securities owner,
such as the ability to exercise voting rights,
or to receive interest, dividends, or other
distributions. Although you may receive
substitute payments in lieu of distribu-
tions, these payments may not receive
the same tax treatment as actual interest,
dividends, or other distributions, and you
may therefore incur additional tax liability
for substitute payments. Fidelity may allo-
cate substitute payments by lottery or in
any other manner permitted by law, rule, or
regulation. Please note that any substitute
payments Fidelity makes are voluntary, and
may be discontinued at any time.
In addition to market volatility, factors
specific to your portfolio, such as
concentration, liquidity, and market-
ability of securities, may increase the
risk of a margin call. Use of features
such as checkwriting, debit cards, and
bill payment services may also increase
the risk of a margin call.
In the absence of (i) an Intra-day and After-
hours Free Credit Balance, (ii) money in the
core account, (iii) shares of certain Fidelity
money market funds held as positions
outside the core account, or (iv) cash
dividends paid on marginable securities,
any debits that are posted to your account
will drive up your margin balance.
Be sure to read the margin account
policies in “Borrowing on Margin” within
this customer agreement. If you have any
questions or concerns about your margin
account or margin generally, please
contact Fidelity.
By applying for a margin account, you
acknowledge that you have independently
analyzed the risks of short selling as an
investment strategy, and understand that
Fidelity does not recommend or solicit
the purchase of short sale orders. To the
extent you will have or have had commu-
nications with any Fidelity representatives
about short selling, you agree that you
are not relying on those communications
as recommendations or solicitations; that
you are not relying today and will not rely
in the future on Fidelity to monitor your
investments in short sales nor advise you
concerning them; and that you have not
and will not rely on Fidelity or any Fidelity
representative for advice, information, or
recommendations regarding short selling
strategies or their suitability for you.
This agreement contains a pre-dispute
arbitration clause. Under this clause,
which you agree to when you sign your
account application, you and Fidelity
agree as follows:
A. All parties to this agreement are giving
up the right to sue each other in court,
including the right to a trial by jury,
except as provided by the rules of
the arbitration forum in which a claim
is filed.
B. Arbitration awards are generally final
and binding; a party’s ability to have a
court reverse or modify an arbitration
award is very limited.
C. The ability of the parties to obtain doc-
uments, witness statements, and other
discovery is generally more limited in
arbitration than in court proceedings.
D. The arbitrators do not have to explain
the reason(s) for their award unless, in
an eligible case, a joint request for an
explained decision has been submitted
by all parties to the panel at least
20 days prior to the first scheduled
hearing date.
E. The panel of arbitrators may include a
minority of arbitrators who were or are
affiliated with the securities industry.
F. The rules of some arbitration forums
may impose time limits for bringing
a claim in arbitration. In some cases,
a claim that is ineligible for arbitration
may be brought in court.
G. The rules of the arbitration forum
in which the claim is filed, and any
amendments thereto, shall be incor-
porated into this agreement.
All controversies that may arise
between you and us concerning any
subject matter, issue or circumstance
whatsoever (including, but not lim-
ited to, controversies concerning any
account, order, distribution, rollover,
advice interaction, or transaction,
or the continuation, performance,
interpretation or breach of this or
any other agreement between you
and us, whether entered into or aris-
ing before, on or after the date this
account is opened) shall be deter-
mined by arbitration through the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA) or any United States securities
self-regulatory organization or United
States securities exchange of which
the person, entity or entities against
whom the claim is made is a member,
as you may designate. If you com-
mence arbitration through a United
States self-regulatory organization
or United States securities exchange
and the rules of that organization or
exchange fail to be applied for any
reason, then you shall commence arbi-
tration with any other United States
securities self-regulatory organization
or United States securities exchange
of which the person, entity or entities
against whom the claim is made is
a member. If you do not notify us in
writing of your designation within five
(5) days after such failure or after you
receive from us a written demand for
arbitration, then you authorize us to
make such designation on your behalf.
The commencement of arbitration
through a particular self-regulatory
organization or securities exchange is
not integral to the underlying agree-
ment to arbitrate. You understand that
judgment upon any arbitration award
may be entered in any court of com-
petent jurisdiction.
No person shall bring a putative or
certified class action to arbitration, nor
seek to enforce any predispute arbitra-
tion agreement against any person who
has initiated in court a putative class
action; or who is a member of a puta-
tive class action who has not opted out
of the class with respect to any claims
encompassed by the putative class
action until: (i) the class certification is
denied; or (ii) the class is decertified; or
(iii) the customer is excluded from the
class by the court. Such forbearance to
enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall
not constitute a waiver of any rights
under this agreement except to the
extent stated herein.

Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC
PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
This important disclosure information about Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”) is provided to comply with the federal securities laws.
It does not create or modify any agreement, relationship, or obligation between you and FBS (or your financial intermediary). Please consult
your account agreement with us and other related documentation for the terms and conditions that govern your relationship with us. This
information does not amend or supersede any of your existing agreements with us.
Introduction
This document provides retail customers (referred to as “you” or “your”) with important information regarding your relationship with
FBS (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”), a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and
a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Within this document, you will find information regarding the products and services FBS offers, including
their material limitations and risks. In addition, this document describes the conflicts of interest that arise in FBS’ business, including those
conflicts that arise from compensation received by FBS, its affiliates, and its registered representatives (“Representatives”), and how we
address those conflicts.
FBS offers brokerage accounts and services for personal investing, including retail, retirement (such as Individual Retirement Accounts
[“IRAs”]) and cash management services (credit and debit cards, checkwriting, etc.). These accounts generally allow you to invest in
mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, stocks, bonds, options, college savings plans, insurance products, and more. FBS brokerage
accounts also may be available to you through a workplace retirement plan serviced by Fidelity Workplace Services, and the available
investment options and services are determined by your plan’s sponsor. FBS works with its affiliated clearing broker, National Financial
Services LLC (“NFS”), along with other affiliates, to provide you with these brokerage accounts and services.
When providing brokerage services to you, FBS is required to:
Have reasonable grounds to believe that any security, investment strategy, or account type that we specifically recommend to
you is in your best interest after taking into account factors relevant to your personal circumstances, such as your age, other
investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon,
liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and other financial information you have disclosed to us (your “Investment Profile”) and the cost
associated with our recommendation, (this is our “best interest obligation”);
Ensure that your trades are executed with diligence and competence and seek to provide best execution in light of prevailing
market conditions;
Treat you in a manner consistent with principles of fair dealing and high standards of honesty and integrity; and
Not be obligated to provide recommendations to you, or to update recommendations made previously, and not doing so should
not be viewed as a recommendation to hold an investment.
Your FBS brokerage account (“FBS Account”) is self directed. This means that you or someone you designate are solely
responsible for deciding whether and how to invest in the securities, strategies, products, and services offered by FBS. You or
your designee are also solely responsible for the ongoing review and monitoring of the investments held in your FBS Account,
even if FBS has made a recommendation to you. It is important you understand that, unless specifically agreed to in writing, FBS
will not monitor any investment recommendation made to you or the investments held in your Account. You are responsible for
independently ensuring that the investments in your FBS Account remain appropriate given your Investment Profile.
There is no minimum investment to open an FBS Account, but there are minimums to purchase some types of investments. All
transaction charges will be identified to you in the confirmation of a transaction and/or in the account statement FBS sends to you on
a periodic basis. Please see the FBS Account Customer Agreement (“Customer Agreement”) and the FBS Brokerage Commission and
Fee Schedule (“Schedule”) for information regarding the transaction fees and other charges that apply to your FBS account, including
trade execution, clearing, and other services provided by our affiliate, NFS, as well as the terms and conditions applicable to your FBS’
Account, which can be found at Fidelity.com/information.
FBS Accounts and Intermediaries: You may have an FBS Account in connection with services provided by an investment
advisor affiliated with FBS including Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors LLC (“FPWA”) or a third party, such as a registered
investment advisor, retirement plan administrator, bank, or family office (collectively referred to as an “Intermediary” or
“Intermediary Accounts”). While FBS and its affiliates provide services to Intermediary Accounts, FBS generally
does not provide recommendations to Intermediary Accounts and does not monitor Intermediary Accounts or the
investments held therein. Your Intermediary may offer different investment services and products from those offered by FBS.
Please contact your Intermediary for more information on the services offered, conflicts of interest, and the fees you will pay.
How We Recommend Investments
FBS provides various tools and methodologies to help you choose your investments, investment strategies, and accounts. FBS
Representatives use these tools and methodologies when working with you. In addition, many of these tools are available to you
2
directly on our websites and mobile applications. FBS tools and methodologies use information you provide about your financial
goals, investment objectives, and financial situation. When developing a recommendation that is in your best interest, we consider your
Investment Profile as well as the potential risks, rewards, and costs associated with the investment, strategy or account recommendation.
Please note that when making recommendations to you we only recommend from among certain products and services that we
offer. Although cost is a factor we consider in making recommendations to you, it is only one of several factors. As a result, we do not
necessarily recommend the lowest-cost investment option, and lower-cost alternatives might be available with similar or different risk and
return characteristics. We are not obligated to provide recommendations to you, or to update recommendations previously made, and
not doing so should not be viewed as a recommendation to hold any investment.
Retirement and Other Tax-Advantaged Accounts
We offer a variety of retirement and other tax-advantaged accounts (including IRAs, 401(k) plan accounts, Health Savings Accounts
[“HSAs”], and other similar accounts, collectively “Retirement Accounts”). While we have a best interest obligation when we provide
a recommendation to a retirement account, unless we agree in writing, we are not a fiduciary as defined by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) or Internal Revenue Code, and any recommendations we provide should not be relied on as a primary basis
for investment decisions made in your retirement accounts.
Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest arise because we offer a variety of products and services. The products and services we offer have different costs
to you and different levels of compensation earned by us, our affiliates, and our Representatives. Generally, FBS and our affiliates earn
more compensation when you select a product or service offered by us or one of our affiliates (i.e., a “proprietary” product or service),
as compared to a product or service offered by a third party. As a result, FBS has a financial incentive to recommend certain accounts,
products, and services, including those that are proprietary, over others when working with you. Most FBS Representatives receive
variable compensation based on the type of product or service you select, but FBS Representatives’ compensation is not affected by
whether you purchase a proprietary product or service or a similar third-party product or service offered through us.
We seek to address these conflicts in multiple ways. For example:
We primarily use standardized methodologies and tools to provide advice so that recommendations made for your FBS account
are in your best interest, based on your needs and financial circumstances.
We train, compensate, and supervise FBS Representatives appropriately to provide you with the best client experience, which
includes offering products and services that are in your best interest based on your financial situation and needs. As described
in the “How We Pay Our Representatives” section below, products and services that require more time and engagement with
a customer and/or that are more complex or require special training or licensing typically provide greater compensation to
a Representative. Based on these neutral factors, the compensation received by a Representative in connection with certain
products and services offered by us or our affiliates, including certain investment advisory programs offered through our
investment advisor affiliate FPWA, is greater than the compensation Representatives receive for other products and services that
we offer.
We disclose information to you about any important conflicts of interest that are associated with a recommendation in advance of
providing you with a recommendation so that you can make informed decisions.
How We Pay Our Representatives
FBS takes customer relationships very seriously and has processes in place to help ensure that the products and services you select
are in your best interest and that you receive the standard of care and attention you deserve. FBS Representative compensation is
designed to ensure that our Representatives are motivated and compensated appropriately to provide you with the best possible
service, including products and services that are appropriately based on your needs. This section generally describes how we
compensate FBS Representatives. Specific FBS Representative compensation with respect to the products and services we offer is
described in the “Investment Products and Services” section below.
Most FBS Representatives are eligible to receive some amount of variable compensation in addition to their base pay. Certain
Representatives receive variable compensation that is impacted by the type of product or service you select. These compensation
differentials are based on the relative time required to become proficient enough, including receiving and maintaining additional
licensing, as applicable, to be able to recommend more complex products and services to you (for example, insurance
products or investment advisory services offered by our affiliates FILI and FPWA, as compared to the relative time required
to become proficient enough to recommend a money market fund). More complex products and services typically provide
greater compensation to our Representatives, FBS, and/or our affiliates. Although we believe that it is fair to compensate our
Representatives based on the time involved with the sale of more complex products, this compensation structure creates a
financial incentive for Representatives to recommend these products and services over others. FBS addresses these conflicts of
interest by training and supervising our Representatives to make recommendations that are in your best interest and by disclosing
these conflicts so that you can consider them when making your financial decisions.
For additional information about FBS Representative compensation, please see Fidelity.com/information.
Investment Products and Services Offered by FBS
General Investment Risks
All investments involve risk of financial loss, and there is no guarantee that you will reach your investment goals. Historically, investments
with a higher return potential also have a greater risk potential. Events that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as war, acts
of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, and recessions, can magnify an investment’s inherent risks.
3
The general risks of investing in specific products and services offered by FBS are described below. Detailed information regarding a
specific investment’s risks is also provided in other disclosure and legal documents we make available to you, including prospectuses,
term sheets, offering circulars, and offering memoranda. As stated previously, you are responsible for deciding whether and how to
invest in the securities, strategies, products, and services offered by FBS. You should carefully consider your investment objectives and
the risks, fees, expenses, and other charges associated with an investment product or service before making an investment decision. The
investments held in your Account (except for certificates of deposit [“CDs”] or a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation [“FDIC”] insured
deposit account bank sweep) are not deposits in a bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency.
Fees and Charges
Details regarding the fees, charges, and commissions associated with the investment products and services described below are available
at Fidelity.com/information.
Available Securities
This section generally describes the securities offered by FBS, the fees you will pay, how we and/or our affiliates are compensated, the
associated risks and Representative compensation. If you are investing through your workplace retirement plan, the securities available to
you may be limited by your plan sponsor.
Bonds, Municipal Securities, Treasuries, and Other Fixed Income Securities
FBS offers fixed income securities including, among others, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasuries, agency and municipal bonds, and CDs. You
can purchase fixed income securities from us in two ways: directly from the issuer (new issues) in the primary market and through broker-
dealers, including affiliates of FBS, in the secondary market. FBS also offers brokered CDs issued by third-party banks.
FBS makes certain new issue fixed income securities available without a separate transaction fee. New issue CDs are also offered
without a transaction fee. With respect to fixed income securities purchased or sold through the secondary market, the cost for the
transaction (commonly called a “mark-up” for purchases or “mark-down” for sales) is included in the purchase or sale price. In addition
to any markup or markdown, an additional transaction charge can be imposed by FBS when you place your order through an FBS
Representative, depending on the type of fixed income security you purchase.
FBS or its affiliates receive compensation from the issuer for participating in new issue offerings of bonds and CDs. Information about the
sources, amounts, and terms of this compensation is contained in the bond’s or CD’s prospectus and related documents. For secondary
market transactions, FBS and/or its affiliates can receive compensation by marking up or marking down the price of the security. For
information regarding trading and order routing practices, including compensation, see the “Order Routing and Principal Trading by FBS
Affiliates” section below.
In general, the bond market is volatile and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, bond prices usually
fall, and vice versa). Interest rate risk is generally more pronounced for longer-term fixed income securities. Very low or negative interest
rates can magnify interest rate risks. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, can also have unpredictable effects on
markets and can result in heightened market volatility. Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit
and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Tax code changes can impact the municipal bond market. Lower-quality fixed
income securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Foreign
fixed income investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political,
regulatory, market, and economic risks. Fixed income securities sold or redeemed prior to maturity are subject to loss.
Certain FBS Representatives are compensated in connection with the purchase of fixed income securities in your FBS Account.
Representative compensation is not affected by whether the security is purchased or sold as a new issue or in a secondary market
transaction and is paid irrespective of whether our Representative recommended the transaction to you. Representative compensation is
based on the type of fixed income security that you purchase, with compensation for CDs and U.S. Treasury bonds being lower than for
other types of fixed income securities. As a result, these Representatives have a financial incentive to recommend certain fixed income
products over others. We address this conflict by providing our Representatives with appropriate training and tools to ensure that they
are making recommendations that are in your best interest, supervising our Representatives, and disclosing these conflicts so that you
can consider them when making your financial decisions.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
FBS offers ETFs sponsored by an FBS affiliate and by third parties.
FBS does not charge a commission or other transaction fee for ETFs purchased online but will charge you a transaction fee if purchased
through an FBS Representative. You will pay a fee on the sale of any ETF, which will be identified in a transaction confirmation sent to you.
FBS and its affiliate NFS receive compensation from BlackRock Fund Advisors, the sponsor of the iShares
®
ETFs, in connection with
a marketing program that includes promotion of iShares
®
ETFs and inclusion of iShares funds in certain FBS and NFS platforms and
investment programs. This marketing program creates an incentive for FBS to recommend the purchase of iShares ETFs. Additional
information about the sources, amounts, and terms of this compensation is contained in the iShares ETF’s prospectuses and related
documents. FBS and its affiliate NFS also have commission-free marketing arrangements with several other sponsors of active and smart
beta ETFs under which they are entitled to receive payments.
For the specific risks associated with an ETF, please see its prospectus or summary prospectus and read it carefully.
Certain FBS Representatives are compensated in connection with the purchase of ETFs in your FBS Account, regardless of whether the
Representative recommended the transaction to you. Representatives receive no additional compensation for the sale of iShares ETFs
versus other ETFs.
4
Insurance and Annuities
FBS and its affiliates offer proprietary and nonproprietary life insurance and annuities issued by FBS-affiliated insurance companies
and third-party insurance companies.
The insurance companies charge fees that are disclosed either explicitly or incorporated into the product’s benefits or credits (referred
to as a “premium”). The fees for these products vary depending on the type of product purchased, any available options selected, and
surrender charges incurred, if any. Any explicit fees are disclosed in the respective prospectus, contract, and/or marketing materials. FBS
or its affiliates receive a commission from the issuing insurance companies for sales of their insurance and annuity products.
Life insurance and annuities are subject to risks, including the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company, which are detailed
in the prospectus, contract, and/or marketing materials.
Certain Representatives are compensated in connection with your purchase of insurance and annuity products. This compensation is not
affected by the type of insurance or annuity product you purchase or whether you purchase a proprietary or third-party product, but this
compensation is higher than the compensation received in connection with the sale of other less complex types of investments offered
by FBS. As a result, these Representatives have a financial incentive to recommend insurance and annuity products over other types of
investments. We address this conflict by providing our Representatives with appropriate training and tools to ensure that they are making
recommendations that are in your best interest, supervising our Representatives, and disclosing these conflicts so that you can consider
them when making your financial decisions.
Mutual Funds
FBS offers proprietary and third-party mutual funds that do not have a transaction fee, as well as third-party mutual funds available
with a sales load and/or a transaction fee. Neither FBS nor its Representatives provide recommendations with respect to mutual funds
that have a transaction fee.
FBS does not charge a fee for the purchase or sale of no-transaction-fee or load mutual funds. FBS will impose a short-term trading
fee for sales of all nonproprietary, no-transaction-fee funds made within 60 days of purchase. For transaction fee funds, FBS charges
a fee for all purchases. Load funds have a sales charge imposed by the third-party fund company that varies based on the share
class of the fund, which is described in each fund’s prospectus. You can find more information about mutual fund fees by visiting
Fidelity.com/information.
FBS and its affiliates earn the following compensation from mutual fund transactions:
FBS or its affiliates receive a portion of the sales load paid to a third-party fund company.
FBS affiliates earn compensation from the ongoing management fees for proprietary funds, as identified in the funds’
prospectuses.
FBS and its affiliates receive compensation from certain third-party fund companies for (i) access to, purchase or redemption of,
and maintenance of their mutual funds and other investment products, and (ii) other related shareholder servicing provided by FBS
or its affiliates to the funds’ shareholders. This compensation consists of asset and position-based fees, fund company and fund
start-up fees, infrastructure support fees, fund company minimum monthly fees, and fund low platform asset fees.
FBS and its affiliates also receive compensation through a fixed annual fee from certain third-party fund companies that participate
in an exclusive marketing, engagement, and analytics program. The only third-party fund companies eligible to participate in this
program are those that have adequately compensated FBS or its affiliates for shareholder servicing and that have demonstrated
consistent customer demand for their funds.
For the specific risks associated with a mutual fund, please read its prospectus or summary prospectus carefully.
Certain FBS Representatives are compensated in connection with the purchase of no-transaction-fee funds in your FBS Account,
regardless of whether the Representative recommended the transaction to you. Representative compensation is not affected by whether
you purchase a proprietary or third-party fund or by the amount of compensation received by FBS or its affiliates in connection with a
proprietary or third-party fund.
Private Funds and Alternative Investments
FBS offers certain proprietary and third-party privately offered funds and other alternative investments.
Investing in private funds and alternative investments are subject to certain eligibility and suitability requirements. The fees for purchasing
these types of investments are typically higher than for mutual funds or ETFs. For details regarding a specific private fund or alternative
investment, including fees and risks, please read its offering materials carefully.
FBS receives compensation from its affiliates and third parties for distributing and/or servicing alternative investments. FBS affiliates also
earn compensation from the ongoing management fees for proprietary alternative investments.
Certain Representatives are compensated in connection with the purchase of alternative investments. Representative compensation
is not affected by whether you purchase a proprietary or third-party alternative investment, but this compensation will be higher
than the compensation received in connection with the sale of other less complex types of investments offered by FBS. As a result,
Representatives have a financial incentive to recommend alternative investments over other types of investments. We address this
conflict by providing our Representatives with appropriate training and tools to ensure that they are making recommendations that are in
your best interest, supervising our Representatives, and disclosing these conflicts so that you can consider them when making your
financial decisions.
5
Stocks and Options
FBS offers for purchase and sale the stocks of publicly traded companies listed on domestic and international exchanges, as well as
options on many of these securities.
FBS does not charge you a commission for online U.S. stock transactions but will charge you a commission if such orders are placed
over the phone or through a Representative. Sell orders for equities are charged an activity assessment fee. There are also specific
commissions, fees, and charges that apply to transactions in stocks listed on international exchanges. Options have a per-contract fee
when traded online and a commission and per-contract fee apply if traded over the phone or through a Representative. For all options
trades, other regulatory fees apply. There are additional costs associated with options strategies that call for multiple purchases and sales
of options, such as spreads, straddles, and collars, as compared with a single options trade.
FBS charges a commission for stock transactions and charges commissions and per-contract fees for options transactions. For information
regarding trading and order routing practices, including compensation, see the “Order Routing and Principal Trading by FBS Affiliates”
section below.
Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, infectious illness,
or economic developments. Investing in stocks involves risks, including the loss of principal. Stocks listed on foreign exchanges involve
greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be
magnified in emerging markets.
Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Before you make use of options in any way, it’s essential
to fully understand the risks involved, and to be certain that you are prepared to accept them. Before trading options, please read
Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, which can be found by visiting Fidelity.com/information.
Additional FBS Account Services, Features, and Types
Checkwriting Services
You can set up checkwriting within your FBS account. Checks are issued through a bank that we have entered into an arrangement with
to provide checkwriting services. Checkwriting is not available for certain Retirement Accounts.
Credit and Debit Cards
Credit Cards
FBS has an arrangement with a third-party service provider that allows the service provider to issue several different versions of a co-
branded credit card. Most of these credit cards offer cash back rewards, among other features. If you are an FBS customer and choose
to have one of these credit cards, you have the option of depositing these rewards into your FBS account. Under the terms of our
arrangement with the issuer of these credit cards, FBS or its affiliates share the revenue attributable to these credit cards with the issuer.
Debit Cards
FBS has entered into an arrangement with a third-party service provider that provides FBS customers with a debit card to access the
uninvested cash in their FBS Accounts. FBS pays the service provider fees in exchange for its services, and those fees are reduced in part
or eliminated entirely by revenue generated in connection with certain transactions initiated by customers when using these debit cards.
College Savings Accounts/Plans, ABLE Plans, and Other Custodial Accounts
FBS or its affiliates offer a variety of state-sponsored 529 college savings plans (“529 Plans”), at both the state and national level, and
ABLE disability account savings plans (“ABLE Plans”).
There is no annual account fee or minimum required to open a 529 Plan or ABLE Plan account managed by Fidelity. Some states offer
favorable tax treatment to their residents only if they invest in their own state’s plan. Before making any investment decision, you
may want to consider whether your state or the designated beneficiary’s home state offers its residents a plan with alternate state tax
advantages or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors.
FBS or its affiliates receive program manager fees as well as portfolio management and underlying fund fees from the 529 Plans as
compensation for services provided to the Plans that include, but are not limited to, administrative, management, marketing, and
investment management services. The fees associated with these Plans are described in each Plan’s Disclosure Document.
Investments in 529 and ABLE Plans are municipal fund securities and are subject to market fluctuation and volatility. See the Plan’s
Disclosure Document for additional information regarding risks.
Certain FBS Representatives are compensated for sales of 529 and ABLE Plans. This compensation is the same regardless of the Fidelity-
managed 529 or ABLE product you choose to purchase, but this compensation is higher than the compensation received in connection
with other types of investments offered by FBS, such as money market funds, equities, CDs. As a result, these Representatives have
a financial incentive to recommend these types of Plans over other types of investments. We address this conflict by providing our
Representatives with appropriate training and tools to ensure that they are making recommendations that are in your best interest, by
supervising our Representatives, and by disclosing these conflicts so that you can consider them when making your financial decisions.
You can also invest on behalf of a minor through a custodial account (also known as an UGMA or UTMA account, based on the Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Acts). Funds in a custodial account are irrevocable gifts and can only be used for the benefit of the minor.
Securities discussed in this document can be purchased through these custody accounts, and our Representatives are compensated in
connection with your purchase of such securities as with other brokerage accounts.
6
Fully Paid Lending Program
Subject to certain eligibility and suitability requirements, you may choose to participate in our Fully Paid Lending Program (“Lending
Program”). The Lending Program is available to customers holding positions in eligible U.S. equities that are difficult to borrow. You will
enter into a separate agreement, commonly referred to as a Master Securities Lending Agreement, with our affiliate NFS, if you choose to
participate in the Lending Program.
FBS and NFS earn revenue in connection with borrowing your securities and lending them to others in the securities lending market
and/or facilitating the settlement of short sales.
Certain FBS Representatives can recommend the use of the Lending Program but are not compensated in connection with your
participation in the Lending Program.
Health Savings Accounts
An HSA is an account that can be used by individuals enrolled in an HSA-eligible health plan to make contributions on a tax-advantaged
basis and to take current or future distributions for qualified medical expenses on a tax-advantaged basis. The Fidelity HSA is a brokerage
account that can be opened directly with FBS or through an Intermediary. Any recommendations provided to you for an HSA will be
limited to investment management services provided by FPWA, proprietary mutual funds and mutual funds that participate in the exclusive
marketing, engagement, and analytics program as described in the “Investment Products and Services” section above. Note that HSAs
offered in connection with your workplace benefits program are described in the “Workplace Savings Plan Accounts” section below.
There are no fees to open an HSA account with FBS, and our Representatives are not compensated when you open an HSA directly
with FBS.
Certain of the securities discussed in this document can be purchased through an HSA, and our Representatives are compensated in
connection with your purchase of such securities.
IRAs and Other Retirement Accounts
We offer traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs to individual investors to make investments on a tax-advantaged basis. We also offer other
retirement accounts for those who are self employed (Self-Employed 401(k)s, SIMPLE IRAs, etc.) and to small business owners.
There are no fees to open IRAs or other Retirement Accounts with FBS, and our Representatives are not compensated when you open
these accounts. Certain of the securities discussed in this document can be purchased through an IRA or other Retirement Account, and
our Representatives are compensated in connection with your purchase of such securities.
Margin
The use of margin involves borrowing money to buy securities. If you use margin to buy eligible securities in your Account, you will pay
interest on the amount you borrow. Retirement accounts are not typically eligible for margin.
Margin trading entails greater risk, including, but not limited to, risk of loss and incurrence of margin interest debt, and is not suitable for
all investors. Please assess your financial circumstances and risk tolerance before trading on margin. If the market value of the securities in
your margin account declines, you may be required to deposit more money or securities in order to maintain your line of credit. If you are
unable to do so, we may be required to sell all or a portion of your pledged assets.
FBS Representatives are not compensated in connection with the use of margin in your FBS Account and do not make recommendations
regarding the use of margin.
Rollovers from an Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan
You can open an IRA with assets that are “rolled over” from a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. Our affiliates provide
recordkeeping and other services to employer-sponsored retirement plans (“Workplace Savings Plans”) and assets held in a Workplace
Savings Plan Account can be rolled over to an FBS IRA. Similarly, assets held in a third-party retirement plan can also be rolled over to an
FBS IRA.
If you are a participant in a Workplace Savings Plan and you are eligible to roll over retirement assets to an IRA, we can provide you
with information and/or recommendations regarding your plan distribution options. Certain FBS Representatives are trained to discuss
the financial and nonfinancial factors to consider when deciding whether to stay in your Workplace Savings Plan, roll over to another
Workplace Savings Plan, or roll over to an FBS IRA. When discussing IRAs in connection with a rollover transaction, Representatives will
only discuss the features of an FBS IRA. Other financial services firms may offer rollover IRAs that have different features.
If you are a participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan that is not recordkept by an affiliate of FBS and you are eligible to roll
over retirement assets to an IRA, we can provide you with information regarding the factors that are important for you to consider when
deciding whether to remain in your current plan or transfer all or part of your employer-sponsored retirement plan’s assets to an FBS IRA.
If you are a participant in a Workplace Savings Plan and we recommend that you roll over your Workplace Savings Plan assets to an FBS
IRA, a conflict of interest exists because the compensation we and our affiliates receive from the investments, products, and services in
your FBS IRA is different from the compensation we and our affiliates receive from investments, products, and services in your Workplace
Savings Plan account. The compensation differential typically results because you may be able to access different investment options
in an FBS IRA than in your Workplace Savings Plan account, and those investments result in more (or less) compensation to us and
our affiliates.
There are no fees to open an FBS IRA and our Representatives are not compensated when you open this account. Certain of the
securities discussed in this document can be purchased through an FBS IRA and our Representatives are compensated in connection with
your purchase of such securities.

Sweep Options
Your FBS Account includes a “core position” that holds assets awaiting further investment or withdrawal. Depending on the type of
account, the available investment options for your core position include Fidelity money market mutual funds, an FDIC-insured deposit
account bank sweep, or a free credit balance. If you work with an Intermediary, your Intermediary may limit the core choice options it
makes available. If you use a free credit balance, FBS’ affiliates earn interest by investing your cash overnight. For more information,
please refer to the Customer Agreement at Fidelity.com/information. If you use a Fidelity money market fund, FBS’ affiliates earn
management and other fees as described in the fund’s prospectus. If your cash is swept to an FDIC-insured deposit bank sweep account,
FBS’ affiliates receive a fee from the bank receiving deposits through the bank sweep program. For more information, please refer to the
FDIC-Insured Deposit Sweep Program Disclosures document at Fidelity.com/information.
Accounts Offered by Affiliates of FBS
Charitable Giving
Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund (“Fidelity Charitable”) is an independent public charity which offers the Fidelity Charitable
®
Giving Account
®
, a donor-advised fund. FBS and its affiliates provide services to Fidelity Charitable
®
and are compensated in connection
with those services.
Certain FBS Representatives are compensated for referrals to Fidelity Charitable.
Investment Advisory Services
Brokerage accounts and investment advisory services offered to you by FBS and its affiliates are separate and distinct. These offerings
are governed by different laws and regulations and have separate agreements with different terms, conditions, and fees that reflect
the differences between the services provided. It is important for you to understand that a self-directed FBS brokerage account differs
from a discretionary investment advisory service where FPWA or another FBS affiliate is responsible for deciding which investments will
be purchased or sold. FPWA also offers nondiscretionary investment advisory services that include financial planning, profiling, and, as
appropriate, referrals to third-party investment advisors.
Investment advisory programs typically charge an ongoing fee for the investment, advice, and monitoring services provided which,
in the case of FPWA discretionary advisory services, also include costs of brokerage execution and custody. Fees for these investment
advisory services typically are based on the value of the assets for which the services are provided. Fees also vary based on the scope of
services provided. Information regarding each of the investment advisory programs offered by FPWA, including the fees charged, can be
found at Fidelity.com/information. FPWAs investment advisory services are only provided with respect to the specific accounts or assets
that are identified in the agreement(s) you enter into with FPWA. FPWA does not provide investment advisory services for other accounts
or assets you have, either at FBS, an FBS affiliate, or with another financial institution.
FBS does not receive separate commissions in connection with FPWAs discretionary investment advisory services; however, FBS is
reimbursed for the brokerage and other services provided to FPWA.
Certain FBS Representatives also act as investment advisory representatives of FPWA. Your Representative will be acting as a registered
representative for FBS when discussing self-directed brokerage accounts, services, and investments, and will be acting as an investment
advisory representative for FPWA when discussing discretionary and nondiscretionary investment advisory services. FBS Representatives
are compensated in their capacity as investment advisory representatives of FPWA when providing investment advisory services to you.
This compensation varies based on the investment advisory service you select and can be greater than the compensation received in
connection with the sale of other less complex types of investments offered by FBS. As a result, these Representatives have a financial
incentive to recommend FPWAs investment advisory services over other types of investments offered by FBS. We address this conflict by
providing our Representatives with appropriate training and tools to ensure that they are making recommendations that are in your best
interest, by supervising our Representatives, and by disclosing these conflicts so that you can consider them when making your financial
decisions.
Additionally, FBS’ affiliate FIWA offers advisory services to Intermediaries and to retail investors who work with Intermediaries. Generally,
you must have a relationship with an Intermediary to receive the advisory services from FIWA. If you open an FBS account with FIWA
for the provision of advisory services, you will generally pay a fee for the services associated with the platform fees for the investment
advisors, and brokerage, clearing, and custody services provided by FIWAs affiliates, including FBS and NFS.
Workplace Services
FBS and its affiliates can provide a range of services to your Workplace Savings Plan. These services include investment management,
transfer agent, brokerage, custodial, recordkeeping, and shareholder services for some or all of the investment options available under
your Workplace Savings Plan. FBS can provide you with recommendations with respect to the investments held in your Workplace
Savings Plan account as permitted by your plan sponsor, either online or through an FBS Representative. Any recommendations provided
to you will be limited to those investment options offered in your Plan’s investment lineup (including investment advisory services offered
by FBS’ affiliate, FPWA), which are selected by the plan’s sponsor.
FBS can provide recommendations concerning a Workplace HSA. Any recommendations provided to you for a Workplace HSA will
be limited to investment management services provided by FPWA, proprietary mutual funds, and mutual funds that participate in
the exclusive marketing, engagement, and analytics program as described in the “Investment Products and Services” section above.
Please refer to your HSA Customer Agreement and our Schedule for additional account maintenance fees that can be charged by
your employer.
Our Representatives are not compensated when you participate in a workplace savings plan or open an HSA.
8
If you have opened an FBS Account in connection with your participation in your employer’s equity compensation plan where our affiliate
Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, provides recordkeeping and administrative services (“Stock Plan Services”), then FBS will provide you
with brokerage account services as described in your Customer Agreement at Fidelity.com/information. You are also subject to the terms
and conditions of your employer’s equity compensation plan, including any applicable prospectus, grant or enrollment agreement, or
other documentation. We can also provide information regarding your employee benefits.
FBS can also provide Executive Services to certain employees and/or participants in Workplace Savings Plans and/or through Stock Plan
Services. Executive Services typically include customized equity compensation analysis, assistance with retirement planning, income
protection, investment strategies, and access to products and services offered by FBS.
Third-Party Services through Marketplace Solutions
We have entered into certain arrangements to make the services of various third-party vendors available to our customers. These services
are generally, but not exclusively, accessed via hyperlinks on our website and mobile apps. These hyperlinks allow customers to connect
directly with a vendor to obtain that vendor’s services. In some cases, we receive compensation from these vendors when you decide to
use their services. This compensation can take a variety of forms, including, but not limited to, payments for marketing and referrals, as
well as sharing in a vendor’s revenue attributable to our customers’ usage of the vendor’s products or services.
FBS Representatives are not compensated in connection with these vendor relationships and do not make recommendations regarding
the use of these vendors.
Additional Conflicts of Interest
Agreements and Incentives with Intermediaries
If you work with FBS through an Intermediary, you have authorized your Intermediary to enter into an agreement with FBS that includes
a schedule of applicable interest rates, commissions, and fees that will apply to your Intermediary Account. In these arrangements,
FBS and the Intermediary agree to pricing for the respective Intermediary Accounts based on the nature and scope of business that
Intermediary does with FBS and its affiliates, including the current and future expected amount of assets that will be custodied by the
Intermediary with an FBS affiliate, the types of securities managed by the Intermediary, and the expected frequency of the Intermediary’s
trading. Intermediaries select from among a range of pricing schedules and/or investment products and services to make available to
Intermediary Accounts. Additionally, FBS can change the pricing, investment products and services, and other benefits we provide if the
nature or scope of an Intermediary’s business with us, or our affiliates, changes or does not reach certain levels. The pricing arrangements
with intermediaries can pose a conflict of interest for FBS and for Intermediaries and influence the nature and scope of business the
Intermediaries obtain from FBS and its affiliates. For more information on the pricing that applies to your Intermediary Account, contact
your Intermediary.
In addition, if you work with an Intermediary, FBS or its affiliates provide your Intermediary with a range of benefits to help it conduct
its business and serve you. These benefits can include providing or paying for the costs of products and services furnished to the
Intermediary or direct payment to your Intermediary to defray the costs they incur when they do business. In other instances, Fidelity
makes direct payments to Intermediaries in certain arrangements including business loans, referral fees, and revenue sharing. Examples
of other benefits provided include (i) paying for technology solutions for Intermediaries; (ii) obtaining discounts on our proprietary
products and services; (iii) assisting Intermediaries with their marketing activities; (iv) assisting Intermediaries with transferring customer
accounts to our platform and in completing documentation to enroll their clients to receive our services; (v) making direct payments to
reimburse for reasonable travel expenses when reviewing our business and practices; (vi) making direct payments for performing back-
office, administrative, custodial support, and clerical services for us in connection with client accounts for which we act as custodian; and
(vii) making referral payments to Intermediaries, their affiliates, or third parties for referring business to FBS. These benefits provided
to your Intermediary do not necessarily benefit your Intermediary Account. The benefits and arrangements vary among Intermediaries
depending on the business they and their clients conduct with us and other factors. Please discuss with your Intermediary the details
regarding its relationship with FBS and its affiliates.
Order Routing and Principal Trading by FBS Affiliates
When you place a purchase or sale order for individual stocks or bonds in your FBS Account, FBS typically will route the order to
its affiliated clearing broker-dealer NFS, which in turn either executes the order from its own account or sends the order to various
exchanges or market centers for execution. Any order executed for your FBS Account is subject to a “best execution” obligation. If NFS
executes the order from its own account (a “principal trade”), it can earn compensation on the transaction. This creates an incentive
for NFS to execute stock or bond trades with its own account. In deciding where to send orders received for execution, NFS considers
a number of factors including the size of the order, trading characteristics of the security, favorable execution prices (for example,
the opportunity for price improvement), access to reliable market data, availability of efficient automated transaction processing,
and execution cost. Some market centers or broker-dealers may execute orders at prices superior to publicly quoted market prices.
Although you can instruct us to send an order to a particular marketplace, NFS order-routing policies are designed to result in transaction
processing that is favorable for you. FBS and/or NFS receives remuneration, compensation, or other consideration for directing customer
orders to certain market centers. Such consideration can take the form of financial credits, monetary payments, rebates, volume
discounts, or reciprocal business. The details of any credit, payment, rebate, or other form of compensation received in connection with
the routing of a particular order will be provided upon your request. For additional information on our best execution and order entry
procedures, please refer to our Fidelity Account Customer Agreement, which you can find at Fidelity.com/information.
FBS Representative compensation is not affected by NFS’ order-routing practices or whether we execute transactions on a principal basis.
For more information, including copies of any document referenced, please go to Fidelity.com/information or contact your FBS Representative.

Guide to Brokerage and Investment Advisory Services
at Fidelity Investments
This brochure highlights important differences between the brokerage and investment advisory services that
may be provided to you as part of your relationship with Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”, “we”, or “us”).
Depending on your individual goals and investment objectives, our representatives may assist you with
brokerage services, investment advisory services, or both.
It is important for you to understand that Fidelity’s brokerage services and investment advisory services are
separate and distinct. Our brokerage products and services are subject to different sets of laws and regulations
from our investment advisory products and services, and our obligations and duties to you are different for each.
Although you may have a relationship with a dedicated Fidelity representative who serves as your primary point
of contact for the services you receive from Fidelity, when you receive multiple services from us, each service will
be governed by the terms of the applicable agreement, as well as the laws and regulations applicable to that
type of service.
Fidelity’s Brokerage Services
Our brokerage products and services are provided to you through Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”), a
broker-dealer that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that is a member of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and Securities
Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).
When providing brokerage products and services, as described in your Fidelity Account
®
Customer Agreement
or other applicable customer agreement, and/or for services in connection with certain workplace savings plans
as described in an agreement with your employer or other applicable document, we will accept orders and
execute transactions in your Fidelity brokerage account based on your instructions. You, or your authorized
representative, are responsible for all investment decisions in your Fidelity brokerage account. As a broker, we
also offer you other services incidental to our brokerage services which can take the form of education, research,
access to tools available on Fidelity.com, and guidance or advice designed to assist you in making decisions
regarding the various products available to you. No separate fees are charged for these other services incidental
to our brokerage services. Some of our brokerage representatives also hold insurance licenses that allow them
to sell life insurance and annuities issued by our affiliated life insurance companies and certain unaffiliated life
insurance companies.
When we act as your broker-dealer, we are held to the legal standards under applicable federal and state
securities laws, and the rules of self-regulatory organizations for broker-dealers such as FINRA. We are also
subject to state insurance laws relative to the sale of life and annuity products. Among other things, these
regulations require broker-dealers to:
Execute your trades with diligence and competence and seek to provide best execution in light of prevailing
market conditions;
Have reasonable grounds for believing that any security that we specifically present to you is suitable given
your investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial and tax status, and other financial information you have
disclosed to us; and
• Treat you in a manner characterized by principles of fair dealing and high standards of honesty and integrity.
How you are charged for Fidelity’s Brokerage Services
Your costs for brokerage services are typically based on a transaction charge, often called a commission, for each
trade you make in your account. Other costs and charges will also apply to your account, and these costs and
charges are outlined in your Fidelity Account Customer Agreement or through other notification. Life insurance
and annuity product sales will result in a commission payment to us from the affiliated and non-affiliated
insurance companies for the insurance products we sell.
Fidelity’s Investment Advisory Services
Our investment advisory services are provided through Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors, LLC (“FPWA”),
an investment adviser registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”).
For workplace savings accounts, advisory services are provided jointly between FPWA and Strategic Advisers LLC
(“Strategic Advisers”), another affiliated SEC-registered investment adviser. Generally, the advisory services we
offer include nondiscretionary financial planning, and/or discretionary investment management, or a referral to an
unaffiliated investment advisory firm.
We will provide investment advisory services pursuant to a written agreement (“Client Agreement”)
with you (or in the case of workplace savings accounts, with your sponsor) that describes our investment
advisory relationship and our obligations under the Client Agreement. You also will receive a disclosure
document required by Form ADV, Part 2A (“Program Fundamentals”), describing the specific investment
advisory service we will be providing to you. These documents explain the types of services we provide, the
applicable advisory fees, and any potential conflicts between our interests and yours. You will also receive
additional disclosure documents as required by Form ADV, Part 2B which provide details regarding the business
background of the personnel responsible for delivering investment advice to you.
Please note that our investment advisory services are limited strictly to those services for which you or your plan
sponsor has entered into a Client Agreement with FPWA and, with respect to workplace savings plans, Strategic
Advisers. The fact that we provide discretionary investment management of some of your accounts, or that we
provide financial planning with respect to certain of your goals, does not mean that we are under any obligation
to provide investment advisory services for other accounts or assets you may have, either at Fidelity or with
another financial institution. Where we provide financial planning services as an investment adviser, you are
responsible for determining whether, and how, to implement any financial planning recommendations presented,
including asset allocation suggestions, and for paying applicable fees. Financial planning through FPWA does
not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of any offer to buy, or a recommendation of any security by Fidelity
Investments or any third party. We will act as a broker-dealer or an investment adviser with respect to any
implementation depending on the products or services you select, and such products or services may be subject
to separate charges, fees, and expenses.
When providing services as an investment advisor, we owe you a fiduciary duty under the Advisers Act with
respect to the specific investment advisory service provided. Our fiduciary duty includes the obligation to:
Ensure that investment advisory services are suited to your specific investment objectives, needs, and circumstances;
Make full and fair disclosure of all material facts about our services and our relationship;
Place your interests before our own when providing the investment advisory service to you;
Disclose conflicts of interest, including compensation received by us or our affiliates in connection with the
investment advisory program;
Obtain your consent before engaging in transactions with you for our own, an affiliate’s, or another client’s
account; and
Not give an unfair advantage to one advisory client to the disadvantage of another.
How you are charged for Fidelity’s Investment Advisory Services
Fees for investment advisory services are described in the applicable Program Fundamentals and Client
Agreement. Typically, with respect to discretionary investment management services, your fee for such services
will be a percentage of the assets held in an account over which we have investment discretion. As an example,
the discretionary investment management fee typically covers both the investment management services and
the trading costs associated with the account (note that other costs are not included as detailed in your Client
Agreement, Program Fundamentals and/or other notification). This fee is expressed as an annual percentage, but is
charged to your account on a quarterly basis in arrears. With respect to nondiscretionary financial planning services,
our advisory fees may instead be in the form of a fixed annual payment amount or may be included as part of your
annual discretionary investment management fee
.
Additional information applicable to Retirement Accounts
Unless otherwise agreed to by a Fidelity Investments company in writing, information, including analytics,
provided to you with regard to your workplace savings account(s) or individual retirement account(s) (together,
your “Retirement Accounts”), is educational in nature and should not be relied on as a primary basis for your
decisions regarding investing in, purchasing or selling securities or other property for your Retirement Account(s).
In applying any asset allocation suggestion to your individual situation, be sure to consider other assets, income
and investments (e.g., home equity, savings accounts or other retirement accounts) in addition to your
Retirement Account(s).
How Fidelity representatives are compensated
As compensation for the services they provide, our representatives receive base pay and may also be eligible
to receive variable compensation. Fidelity representatives may have a financial incentive to recommend your
participation in an investment advisory service where this compensation is greater than what the representative
would receive if you purchased certain other products or enrolled in other services offered by Fidelity. More
information about our representatives’ compensation is available upon request, or can be found online at
www.fidelity.com/repcompensation and in the Program Fundamentals associated with each advisory service.
Additional information
Fidelity representatives’ use of any specific title or designation does not imply that they are providing you with
any specific service, such as financial planning or other investment advisory services. Whether you are a brokerage
or investment advisory client is dictated by the actual services that are agreed upon and provided to you.
If at any time you would like clarification on the nature of services provided to you, please speak with a Fidelity
representative, or visit our website at Fidelity.com. We also urge you to carefully read the account agreements
and disclosures that we provide to you for our brokerage and advisory services, copies of which can be found
at www.fidelity.com/customer-service/forms-applications/overview or can be obtained from your Fidelity
representative.

Brokerage Commission

FEES AND COMPENSATION
Fidelity brokerage accounts are highly flexible, and our cost
structure is flexible as well. Our use of “à la carte” pricing for
many features helps to ensure that you only pay for the
features you use.
About Our Commissions and Fees

either through Fidelity.com, Fidelity Active Trader Pro,

Non-Prototype Retirement Accounts, Health Savings
Accounts (HSAs), and Fidelity Retirement Accounts (including

Rep-Assisted $32.95 per trade
The remuneration that Fidelity receives and keeps as described in this
section applies to transactions and activities involving securities including,
but not limited to, domestic (U.S.) equities traded on national exchanges,
short sales, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and U.S.-traded foreign secu-
rities (ADRs, or American Depository Receipts, and ORDs, or Ordinaries).
1
For details on foreign stock trading, see the Foreign Stocks section. Large
block orders requiring special handling, restricted stock orders, and certain
directed orders may carry additional fees, which will be disclosed at the
time of the transaction.
In addition to the per trade charges identified above, Fidelity’s remuneration
also includes a fee that is charged on all sell orders (“Additional
Assessment”). The Additional Assessment, which typically ranges from
$0.01 to $0.03 per $1,000 of principal, is charged by Fidelity. Fidelity uses
the Additional Assessment to pay certain charges imposed on Fidelity
by national securities associations, clearing agencies, national securities
exchanges, and other self-regulatory organizations (collectively, “SROs”).
The SROs in turn pay the SEC using the money they collect from Fidelity
and other broker-dealers. The Additional Assessment that Fidelity charges
you is designed to offset the charges imposed on Fidelity by the SROs,
which in turn are intended to cover the costs incurred by the government,
including the SEC, for supervising and regulating the securities markets
and securities professionals. You acknowledge, understand, and agree that
Fidelity determines the amount of the Additional Assessment in its sole and
exclusive discretion, and that the Additional Assessment may differ from
or exceed the charges imposed on Fidelity by the SROs. These differences
are caused by various factors, including, among other things, the rounding
methodology used by Fidelity, the use of allocation accounts, transactions
or settlement movements for which a fee by the SROs may not be assessed,
and differences between the dates of changes to rates charged by the
SROs. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that Fidelity has made no
representation that the Additional Assessment charged to you will equal
the fees assessed against Fidelity by the SROs in connection with your
transactions. The Additional Assessment is in addition to the commissions we
charge (i.e., the per trade charges identified above), and is included on your
trade confirmation as a part of the Activity Assessment Fee. For the exact
amount of the Additional Assessment charged on a particular transaction,
please contact a Fidelity representative.
Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”) and/or NFS receives remuneration,
compensation, or other consideration (such as financial credits or reciprocal
business) for directing orders in certain securities to particular broker-dealers
or market centers for execution. The payer, source, and nature of any
compensation received in connection with your particular transaction will vary
based on the venue that a trade has been routed to for execution and will
be disclosed upon written request to FBS. Please refer to Fidelity’s customer
agreement for additional information about order flow practices and to Fidelity’s
commitment to execution quality
(http://personal.fidelity.com/products/trading/
Fidelity_Services/Service_Commitment.shtml)
for additional information about
order routing. Also review FBS’s annual disclosure on payment for order flow
policies and order routing policies.
FBS has entered into a long-term, exclusive and significant arrangement with the
advisor to the iShares Funds that includes but is not limited to FBS’s promotion
of iShares funds, as well as in some cases purchase of certain iShares funds at a
reduced commission rate (“Marketing Program”). FBS receives compensation
from the fund’s advisor or its affiliates in connection with the Marketing Program.
FBS is entitled to receive additional payments during or after termination of
the Marketing Program based upon a number of criteria, including the overall
success of the Marketing Program. The Marketing Program creates significant
incentives for FBS to encourage customers to buy iShares funds. Additional
information about the sources, amounts, and terms of compensation is
described in the ETF’s prospectus and related documents.
NEW ISSUE
Fidelity makes certain new issue products available without a separate
transaction fee. Fidelity may receive compensation for participating
in the offering as a selling group member or underwriter. The
compensation Fidelity receives from issuers when acting as both
underwriter and selling group member is reflected in the “Range of
Fees from Underwriting” column. When Fidelity acts as underwriter
but securities are sold through other selling group members, Fidelity
receives the underwriting fees less the selling group fees.
Securities Range of Fees

in Selling Group
Range of Fees

Buy-to-close orders placed online for options priced 0¢ to 65¢ are
commission-free and are not subject to per contract option fees. For
trades placed on other channels, you will not be charged a per contract
fee when the contract price is 65¢ or less. Regular option rates (as shown

Maximum charge: 5% of principal (subject to a minimum charge of $12.95 for

Exercises and assignments are commission-free and are not charged a per

In addition to the per trade/contract fees described above, Fidelity’s
remuneration also includes fees it charges you (“Options Fee”) that are
designed to offset the Options Regulatory Fee (“ORF”) that the Options
Clearing Corporation (“OCC”) charges Fidelity through various options
exchanges. The ORF applies to any transaction to buy or sell options
contracts and represents the cumulative charges imposed by all the
participating options exchanges. The ORF has ranged from $0.03 to $0.05
per contract but is subject to change at any time. You acknowledge,
understand, and agree that Fidelity determines the amount of the Options
Fee charged to you and its other customers in its sole and exclusive
discretion, and that the Options Fee amount collected from you by Fidelity
may differ from or exceed the ORF that Fidelity pays to OCC. These
differences are caused by various factors, including, among other things,
the rounding methodology used by Fidelity, the use of allocation accounts,
transactions for which a fee may not be assessed, and differences between
the dates of changes to the ORF rate. You understand, acknowledge, and
agree that Fidelity has made no representation that the fees assessed to
you will equal the fees assessed against Fidelity by the OCC in connection
with your transactions. This Options Fee is in addition to your commission
and is included on your trade confirmation as a part of the Activity
Assessment Fee. For the exact amount of the Options Fee charged to you
on a particular transaction, please contact a Fidelity representative.

BONDS AND CDs
New Issues, Primary Purchases (all other fixed-income securities
except U.S. Treasury)
Fidelity makes certain new issue products available without a separate
transaction fee. Fidelity may receive compensation from issuers
for participating in the offering as a selling group member and/or
underwriter. The compensation Fidelity receives from issuers when acting
as both underwriter and selling group member is reflected in the “Range
of Fees from Underwriting” column. When Fidelity acts as underwriter but
securities are sold through other selling group members, Fidelity receives
the underwriting fees less the selling group fees.

MUTUAL FUNDS
This section only describes fees associated with your account. Fees

FundsNetwork Funds
Through FundsNetwork,
®
your account provides access to over 10,000
mutual funds. At the time you purchase shares of funds, those shares will
be assigned either a transaction fee (TF), a no transaction fee (NTF) or a
load status. When you subsequently sell those shares, any applicable fees
will be assessed based on the status assigned to the shares at the time
of purchase.
Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC, or its affiliates, may receive compensa-
tion in connection with the purchase and/or the ongoing maintenance of
positions in certain mutual funds in your account. FBS may also receive
compensation for such things as systems development necessary to
establish a fund on its systems, a fund’s attendance at events for FBS’s
clients and/or representatives, and opportunities for the fund to promote
its products and services. This compensation may take the form of sales
loads and 12b-1 fees described in the prospectus, as well as program
participation and maintenance fees, start-up fees, and infrastructure
support paid by the fund, its investment advisor, or an affiliate.

shares of a FundsNetwork NTF fund held less than 60 days. This fee does
not apply to Fidelity funds, money market funds, FundsNetwork Transaction
Fee funds, FundsNetwork load funds, funds redeemed through the Personal
Withdrawal Service, or shares purchased through dividend reinvestment.
In addition, Fidelity reserves the right to exempt other funds from this fee,
such as funds designed to achieve their stated objective on a short-term

Fee and Trading Policies
Commissions will be charged per order. For commission purposes,
orders executed over multiple days will be treated as separate
orders. Unless noted otherwise, all fees and commissions are
debited from your core account.
Fee Waiver Eligibility
To determine your eligibility for fee waivers, we group the assets
and trading activity of all of the eligible accounts shown on your
periodic account statement.
Eligible accounts generally include those maintained with
Fidelity Service Company, Inc., or FBS [such as 401(k), 403(b), or
457 plan assets] or held in Fidelity Investments Life Insurance
Company accounts, Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service
®
or Fidelity
®
Personalized Portfolios accounts. Assets maintained by Fidelity
Personal Trust Company, FSB, are generally not included. We may
include other assets at our discretion.
We will review your account periodically to confirm that your
household is receiving the best fee waivers it qualifies for, and
may change your fee waiver eligibility at any time based on
these reviews. We update fee waiver eligibility across household
accounts promptly after a daily review of trading activity, and
monthly after a review of household assets. All trading activity is
measured on a rolling 12-month basis.
If you believe there are eligible accounts within your household
that are not being counted in our fee waiver eligibility process
for example, accounts held by immediate family members who
reside with you you may authorize Fidelity to consolidate these
accounts into an aggregated relationship household and review
them for eligibility. Any resulting fee waivers would extend both
to you and to all immediate family members residing with you.
Most customers receive only a single customer reporting statement
from Fidelity and do not need to take any action. However, for
more information, go to Fidelity.com/goto/commissions or
call us at 800-544-6666.

Margin Fees
Understanding how margin charges are calculated is essential
for any investor considering or using margin. The information
below, provided in conformity with federal securities regulations,
is designed to help you understand the terms, conditions, and
methods associated with our margin interest charges.
For all margin borrowing regardless of what you use it for we
charge interest at an annual rate that is based on two factors: our
base rate, and your average debit balance. We set our base rate
with reference to commercially recognized interest rates, industry
conditions regarding margin credit, and general credit conditions.
The table below shows the premiums and discounts we apply to
our base rate depending on the average debit balance:
Interest Charged
Interest Charged
Average Debit Balance Above/Below Base Rate
$0–$24,999.99 +1.250%
$25,000–$49,999.99 +0.750%
$50,000–$99,999.99 –0.200%
$100,000–$249,999.99 –0.250%
$250,000–$499,999.99 –0.500%
$500,000–$999,999.99 –2.825%
$1,000,000+ –3.075%
In determining your debit balance and interest rate, we combine
the margin balances in all your accounts except short accounts
and income accounts. We then compute interest for each account
based on the rate resulting from averaging the daily debit balances
during the interest period. Interest is charged from the date we
extend you credit.
Your rate of interest will change without notice based on changes
in the base rate and in your average debit balance. When your
interest rate is increased for any other reason, we will give you at
least 30 days’ written notice. If the base rate is stated as a range,
we may apply the high end of the range.
For any month where your monthly margin charges are $1 or more,
your monthly statement will show both the dollar amount and the
rate of your interest charges. If your interest rate changed during the
month, separate charges will be shown for each rate. Each interest
cycle begins the first business day following the 20th of each month.
Other Charges
You may be assessed separate interest charges, at the base rate
plus two percentage points, in connection with any of the following:
Payments of the proceeds of a security sale in advance of the
regular settlement date (such prepayments must be approved
in advance)
When the market price of a “when-issued” security falls
below your contract price by more than the amount of your
cash deposit
When payments for securities purchased are received after the
settlement date
How Interest Is Computed
Interest on debit balances is computed by multiplying the average
daily debit balance of the account by the applicable interest rate
in effect and dividing by 360, times the number of days a daily
debit balance was maintained during the interest period.
Marking to Market
The credit balance in the short account will be decreased or
increased in accordance with the corresponding market values
of all short positions. Corresponding debits or credits will be posted
to the margin account. These entries in the margin account will, of
course, affect the balance on which interest is computed. Credits in
your short account, other than marking to market, will not be used
to offset your margin account balance for interest computation.

NOTICE OF BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Fidelity is committed to providing continuous customer service and support; however, we recognize that there are
potential risks that could disrupt our ability to serve you. We are confident that we have taken the necessary steps that will
allow us to reduce or eliminate the impact of a business disruption.
Fidelity recognizes the responsibility we have to our customers. We have implemented a business continuity management
program with a strong governance model and commitment from senior management. Our continuity program’s primary
objectives are to meet the needs of our customers, maintain the wellbeing and safety of our employees, and meet our
regulatory obligations. The planning process is risk based and involves the understanding and prioritization of critical
operations across the firm, the anticipation of probable threats, and the proactive development of strategies to mitigate
the impact of those events.
Our continuity planning teams work closely with local governments and officials in the event of an outage impacting our
operations. Additionally, Fidelity has identified three large scale scenarios that require particular focus: pandemics, events
impacting stock and bond market operations, and cyber events. Detailed response plans have been developed and cross-
discipline teams have been trained to address both day-to-day disruptions as well as these specific events.
Each Fidelity department has developed the capabilities to recover both operations and systems. All continuity plans
are designed to account for disruptions of various lengths and scopes, and to ensure that critical functions are recovered
to meet their business objectives. Critical business groups operate from multiple sites. Dedicated teams within our
technology organizations ensure that critical applications and data have sufficient redundancy and availability to minimize
the impact of an event. Key components of Fidelity’s continuity and technology recovery planning include:

Plans are tested regularly to ensure they are effective should an actual event occur. Fidelity’s Business Continuity Plans are
reviewed no less than annually to ensure the appropriate updates are made to account for operations, technology, and
regulatory changes. Material changes will be reflected in an updated “Notice of Business Continuity Plan.” You may obtain
a copy of this notice at any time by contacting a Fidelity Representative.
