Dear Valued Client:
Please be advised that the Board of Trustees has authorized a proposal to add performance fees to 19 Fidelity Advisor equity funds, subject to shareholder approval. The proposed performance fees are adjustments to management fees, based on a fund's performance relative to its benchmark.
Fidelity's Performance Fee Structure
Fidelity's standard performance fee adjustment range is between +20 and -20 basis points, using a rolling 36-month performance period. If approved, the performance of the funds' Institutional share class will be used to determine the performance fee adjustments.*
Key Upcoming Dates
On February 9, 2007, a preliminary proxy statement is scheduled to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which will detail a proposal to add performance fees to the five Fidelity Advisor equity funds listed in the matrix below.
