Fund Summary
Fund:
Fidelity
Freedom K® Income Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.
Shareholder fees
| (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
Annual Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)
| Management fee(a) | 0.42% | |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees | None | |
| Other expenses(a) | 0.00% | |
| Total annual operating expenses(a) | 0.42% |
(a) Adjusted to reflect current fees.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
| 1 year | $42 |
| 3 years | $133 |
| 5 years | $233 |
| 10 years | $524 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity® funds (or "turns over" its portfolio), but it could incur transaction costs if it were to buy and sell other types of securities directly. If the fund were to buy and sell other types of securities directly, a higher portfolio turnover rate could indicate higher transaction costs and could result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. Such costs, if incurred, would not be reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example and would affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 36% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- Investing in a combination of Fidelity® domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a stable "neutral" asset allocation strategy shown in the "glide path" below.
- Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a stable "neutral" asset allocation of approximately:
| Domestic Equity Funds* | 17% | |
| International Equity Funds* | 7% | |
| Bond Funds* | 46% | |
| Short-Term Funds* | 30% |
* FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) may
change these percentages over time. As a result of the active asset allocation
strategy (discussed below), actual allocations may differ from the neutral
allocations above.
- FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) may use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures reflected above by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic equity and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds to reflect FMRC's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term. The asset allocations in the glide path and pie chart above are referred to as "neutral" because they do not reflect any decisions made by FMRC to overweight or underweight an asset class.
- FMRC may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, Inflation-Protected Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Such asset classes are not reflected in the neutral asset allocations reflected in the glide path and pie chart above.
Principal Investment Risks
Shareholders should consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through your retirement. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund, including losses near, at or after the target retirement date.
- Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
- Investing in Other Funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
- Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
- Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
- Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
- Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
- Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

- Investing in a combination of Fidelity® domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).

Fund Summary
Fund:
Fidelity
Freedom K® 2015 Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter the fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.
Shareholder fees
| (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
Annual Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)
| Management fee(a) | 0.50% | |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees | None | |
| Other expenses(a) | 0.00% | |
| Total annual operating expenses(a) | 0.50% |
(a) Adjusted to reflect current fees.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
| 1 year | $51 |
| 3 years | $159 |
| 5 years | $273 |
| 10 years | $590 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity® funds (or "turns over" its portfolio), but it could incur transaction costs if it were to buy and sell other types of securities directly. If the fund were to buy and sell other types of securities directly, a higher portfolio turnover rate could indicate higher transaction costs and could result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. Such costs, if incurred, would not be reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example and would affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 22% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) may continue to seek high total return for several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective.
- Investing in a combination of Fidelity® domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a "neutral" asset allocation strategy shown in the "glide path" below that becomes increasingly conservative until it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Freedom® K Income Fund (approximately 17% in domestic equity funds, 7% in international equity funds, 46% in bond funds, and 30% in short-term funds (approximately 10 to 19 years after the year 2015)).
- As of March 31, 2017, the fund's neutral asset allocation to underlying Fidelity® funds was approximately:
| Domestic Equity Funds* | 37% | |
| International Equity Funds* | 16% | |
| Bond Funds* | 35% | |
| Short-Term Funds* | 12% |
* FMRC may change these
percentages over time. As a result of the active asset allocation strategy
(discussed below), actual allocations may differ from the neutral allocations
above.
- FMRC may use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures reflected above by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic equity and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds to reflect FMRC's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term. The asset allocations in the glide path and pie chart above are referred to as "neutral" because they do not reflect any decisions made by FMRC to overweight or underweight an asset class.
- FMRC may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, Inflation-Protected Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Such asset classes are not reflected in the neutral asset allocations reflected in the glide path and pie chart above.
- Designed for investors who retired in or within a few years of 2015 (target retirement date) at or around age 65 and plan to gradually withdraw the value of their account in the fund over time.
Principal Investment Risks
Shareholders should consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through your retirement. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund, including losses near, at or after the target retirement date.
- Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
- Investing in Other Funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
- Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
- Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
- Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
- Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
- "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
- "Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
- Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Shareholders should consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through your retirement. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund, including losses near, at or after the target retirement date.
- Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
- Investing in Other Funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
- Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
- Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
- Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
- Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
- "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
- "Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
- Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Fund Summary
Fund:
Fidelity
Freedom K® 2030 Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter the fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.
Shareholder fees
| (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
Annual Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)
| Management fee(a) | 0.61% | |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees | None | |
| Other expenses(a) | 0.00% | |
| Total annual operating expenses(a) | 0.61% |
(a) Adjusted to reflect current fees.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
| 1 year | $62 |
| 3 years | $192 |
| 5 years | $331 |
| 10 years | $718 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity® funds (or "turns over" its portfolio), but it could incur transaction costs if it were to buy and sell other types of securities directly. If the fund were to buy and sell other types of securities directly, a higher portfolio turnover rate could indicate higher transaction costs and could result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. Such costs, if incurred, would not be reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example and would affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) may continue to seek high total return for several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective.
- Investing in a combination of Fidelity® domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a "neutral" asset allocation strategy shown in the "glide path" below that becomes increasingly conservative until it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Freedom® K Income Fund (approximately 17% in domestic equity funds, 7% in international equity funds, 46% in bond funds, and 30% in short-term funds (approximately 10 to 19 years after the year 2030)).
- As of March 31, 2017, the fund's neutral asset allocation to underlying Fidelity® funds was approximately:
| Domestic Equity Funds* | 55% | |
| International Equity Funds* | 23% | |
| Bond Funds* | 22% | |
| Short-Term Funds* | 0% |
* FMRC may change these
percentages over time. As a result of the active asset allocation strategy
(discussed below), actual allocations may differ from the neutral allocations
above.
- FMRC may use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures reflected above by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic equity and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds to reflect FMRC's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term. The asset allocations in the glide path and pie chart above are referred to as "neutral" because they do not reflect any decisions made by FMRC to overweight or underweight an asset class.
- FMRC may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, Inflation-Protected Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Such asset classes are not reflected in the neutral asset allocations reflected in the glide path and pie chart above.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring in or within a few years of 2030 (target retirement date) at or around age 65 and plan to gradually withdraw the value of their account in the fund over time.

This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
| 1 year | $66 |
| 3 years | $206 |
| 5 years | $358 |
| 10 years | $792 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity® funds (or "turns over" its portfolio), but it could incur transaction costs if it were to buy and sell other types of securities directly. If the fund were to buy and sell other types of securities directly, a higher portfolio turnover rate could indicate higher transaction costs and could result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. Such costs, if incurred, would not be reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example and would affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) may continue to seek high total return for several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective.
- Investing in a combination of Fidelity® domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a "neutral" asset allocation strategy shown in the "glide path" below that becomes increasingly conservative until it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Freedom® K Income Fund (approximately 17% in domestic equity funds, 7% in international equity funds, 46% in bond funds, and 30% in short-term funds (approximately 10 to 19 years after the year 2040)).
- As of March 31, 2017, the fund's neutral asset allocation to underlying Fidelity® funds was approximately:
| Domestic Equity Funds* | 63% | |
| International Equity Funds* | 27% | |
| Bond Funds* | 10% | |
| Short-Term Funds* | 0% |
* FMRC may change these
percentages over time. As a result of the active asset allocation strategy
(discussed below), actual allocations may differ from the neutral allocations
above.
- FMRC may use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures reflected above by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic equity and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds to reflect FMRC's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term. The asset allocations in the glide path and pie chart above are referred to as "neutral" because they do not reflect any decisions made by FMRC to overweight or underweight an asset class.
- FMRC may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, Inflation-Protected Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Such asset classes are not reflected in the neutral asset allocations reflected in the glide path and pie chart above.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring in or within a few years of 2040 (target retirement date) at or around age 65 and plan to gradually withdraw the value of their account in the fund over time.
Principal Investment Risks
Shareholders should consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through your retirement. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund, including losses near, at or after the target retirement date.
- Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
- Investing in Other Funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
- Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
- Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
- "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
- "Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
- Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Fund Summary
Fund:
Fidelity
Freedom K® 2055 Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter the fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.
Shareholder fees
| (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
Annual Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)
| Management fee(a) | 0.64% | |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees | None | |
| Other expenses(a) | 0.00% | |
| Total annual operating expenses(a) | 0.64% |
(a) Adjusted to reflect current fees.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
| 1 year | $66 |
| 3 years | $206 |
| 5 years | $358 |
| 10 years | $802 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity® funds (or "turns over" its portfolio), but it could incur transaction costs if it were to buy and sell other types of securities directly. If the fund were to buy and sell other types of securities directly, a higher portfolio turnover rate could indicate higher transaction costs and could result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. Such costs, if incurred, would not be reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example and would affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) may continue to seek high total return for several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective.
- Investing in a combination of Fidelity® domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a "neutral" asset allocation strategy shown in the "glide path" below that becomes increasingly conservative until it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Freedom® K Income Fund (approximately 17% in domestic equity funds, 7% in international equity funds, 46% in bond funds, and 30% in short-term funds (approximately 10 to 19 years after the year 2055)).
- As of March 31, 2017, the fund's neutral asset allocation to underlying Fidelity® funds was approximately:
| Domestic Equity Funds* | 63% | |
| International Equity Funds* | 27% | |
| Bond Funds* | 10% | |
| Short-Term Funds* | 0% |
* FMRC may change these
percentages over time. As a result of the active asset allocation strategy
(discussed below), actual allocations may differ from the neutral allocations
above.
- FMRC may use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures reflected above by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic equity and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds to reflect FMRC's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term. The asset allocations in the glide path and pie chart above are referred to as "neutral" because they do not reflect any decisions made by FMRC to overweight or underweight an asset class.
- FMRC may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, Inflation-Protected Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Such asset classes are not reflected in the neutral asset allocations reflected in the glide path and pie chart above.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring in or within a few years of 2055 (target retirement date) at or around age 65 and plan to gradually withdraw the value of their account in the fund over time.
Principal Investment Risks
Shareholders should consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through your retirement. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund, including losses near, at or after the target retirement date.
- Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
- Investing in Other Funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
- Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
- Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
- "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
- "Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
- Commodity-Linked Investing. The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Fund Basics
Investment Details
Investment Objective
Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Each of Fidelity Freedom K® 2005 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2010 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2015 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2020 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2025 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2030 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2035 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2040 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2045 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2050 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2055 Fund, and Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund seeks high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter the fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Adviser invests each fund's assets in a combination of Fidelity® funds: domestic equity funds, international equity funds (developed and emerging markets), bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds). The funds differ primarily due to their asset allocations among these fund types. Because each fund allocates its assets among the underlying Fidelity® funds based on fund types rather than on the actual holdings of the underlying Fidelity® funds, each fund may have greater exposure to an asset class to the extent that an underlying Fidelity® fund holds securities of more than one asset class. The neutral asset allocation strategy for each fund is designed to provide an approach to asset allocation that is neither overly aggressive nor overly conservative.
The Adviser allocates the assets of each fund (except Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund) among underlying Fidelity® funds according to a neutral asset allocation strategy that becomes increasingly conservative over time. Each fund's name refers to the approximate retirement year of the investors for whom the fund's asset allocation strategy is designed. For example, Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund, which is designed for investors planning to retire around the year 2060 and at or around age 65, has a relatively aggressive neutral asset allocation, with a substantial portion of its assets invested in domestic equity funds and international equity funds and a modest portion of its assets invested in bond funds. By contrast, Fidelity Freedom K® 2005 Fund, which has reached its target retirement year, has a more conservative neutral asset allocation, with less than half of its assets invested in domestic equity funds and international equity funds and the majority of its assets invested in bond funds and short-term funds.
Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund is designed for investors in their retirement years. The Adviser allocates the fund's assets according to a stable neutral asset allocation that emphasizes bond funds and short-term funds but also includes a small amount of domestic equity funds and international equity funds.
Active Asset Allocation. The "neutral" asset allocation in each fund summary represents the Adviser's view regarding how each fund's investments should be allocated among the various asset classes over the long term. Each fund's actual allocations may differ to the extent the Adviser employs its active allocation strategy. As discussed in each fund's summary, the active asset allocation strategy allows the Adviser to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic equity and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds, to reflect the Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term (active asset allocation strategy). At no time, however, will a fund's investments in domestic and international equity funds exceed 95%.
The following table lists the approximate asset class allocation ranges for each fund as of March 31, 2017. The Adviser may change these percentages over time.
| Asset Class Allocation Ranges | Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2005 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2010 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2015 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2020 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2025 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2030 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2035 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2040 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2045 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2050 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2055 Fund | Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund |
| Domestic and International Equity Funds | 14%-34% | 25%-45% | 33%-53% | 43%-63% | 48%-68% | 55%-75% | 68%-88% | 79%-95% | 80%-95% | 80%-95% | 80%-95% | 80%-95% | 80%-95% |
| Bond Funds | 36%-56% | 32%-52% | 29%-49% | 25%-45% | 23%-43% | 20%-40% | 12%-32% | 1%-21% | 0%-20% | 0%-20% | 0%-20% | 0%-20% | 0%-20% |
| Short-Term Funds | 20%-40% | 13%-33% | 8%-28% | 2%-22% | 0%-19% | 0%-15% | 0%-10% | 0%-10% | 0%-10% | 0%-10% | 0%-10% | 0%-10% | 0%-10% |
When increasing or decreasing asset allocation to one or more asset classes, the Adviser will correspondingly reduce or increase exposure to the remaining asset classes. For example, if the Adviser's intermediate term market outlook was to favor fixed income securities, the Adviser may choose to increase each fund's asset allocation to underlying bond funds by up to 10 percentage points from each fund's neutral asset allocation to bond funds, by correspondingly reducing asset allocation to domestic and international equity funds and/or short-term funds. Conversely, if fixed income investments were to fall out of favor based on the Adviser's intermediate term market outlook, the Adviser may choose to decrease exposures to underlying bond funds by increasing asset allocation to underlying domestic and/or international equity funds and/or short-term funds.
The Adviser may also make active asset allocations within other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, Inflation-Protected Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Such asset classes are not reflected in the neutral asset allocations.
Information concerning each fund's actual allocations to underlying funds will be available in each fund's shareholder report and on the funds' website from time to time.
Selecting a Fidelity Freedom K® Fund
There are many considerations relevant to fund selection, including your individual income replacement goals (i.e., how much income do you expect to need in retirement), other expected income after retirement, inflation, other assets and risk tolerance. You should also consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund or a collection of funds will provide sufficient income in your retirement years. When selecting a fund, in addition to the considerations discussed above, you may wish to consider a fund with a target year near the year in which you anticipate your retirement to begin, having reached the age of at or around 65. It is important to note that the funds' asset allocation strategy is designed to provide income for shareholders through their retirement years and assumes that an investor will withdraw the value of his or her account gradually after retirement. Meeting your retirement goals is dependent upon many factors, including the amount you save and the period over which you do so. Investors should select the fund that best meets their individual circumstances and investment goals.
Asset Allocation Framework
The following chart illustrates how each fund's approximate asset allocation among domestic equity funds, international equity funds, bond funds, and short-term funds is expected to change over time. The funds' actual asset allocations may differ from this illustration.
The neutral allocations shown in the glide path do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or underweight a particular asset class based on its market outlook. Each fund's asset allocation assigned to the asset classes above is not expected to vary from the neutral allocations set forth in the glide path by more than plus (+) or minus (-) 10 percentage points.
When the neutral asset allocation of a fund matches Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund's neutral asset allocation (approximately 10 to 19 years after the year indicated in the fund's name), the Board of Trustees may combine the fund with Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund, without shareholder approval, and the fund's shareholders will become shareholders of Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund.
The Adviser may modify the neutral asset allocation strategy and the active asset allocation strategy for any fund from time to time.
Description of Underlying Fidelity® Funds
Each fund invests in underlying Fidelity® funds. Although the underlying Fidelity® funds are categorized generally as domestic equity, international equity, bond, and short-term funds, many of the underlying Fidelity® funds may invest in a mix of securities of foreign and domestic issuers, investment-grade and high yield bonds, and other securities. Many of the underlying Fidelity® funds may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease a fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. Each fund will purchase Class F shares of any underlying Fidelity® fund that offers Class F shares. The Adviser may modify the selection of underlying Fidelity® funds for any fund from time to time. When modifying the selection of underlying Fidelity® funds and transitioning in or out of one or more underlying Fidelity® funds, the Adviser may invest a fund's assets directly in securities for a period of time.
A brief description of the underlying Fidelity® funds each fund may utilize as of the date of this prospectus, is provided in the funds' Statement of Additional Information (SAI). More detailed information about each underlying Fidelity® fund is available in each underlying Fidelity® fund's prospectus.
The following table lists each fund's asset allocation to each underlying Fidelity® fund as of March 31, 2017. The Adviser may change these percentages over time.

Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's share price changes daily based on the performance of the underlying Fidelity® funds in which it invests. The ability of each fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to its asset allocation among underlying Fidelity® funds and the ability of those funds to meet their investment objectives. If the Adviser's asset allocation strategy does not work as intended, a fund may not achieve its objective. Shareholders should consider that no target date fund is intended as a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee that any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through your retirement. The fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund, including losses near, at, or after the target retirement date.
The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:
Asset Allocation Risk. A fund is subject to risks resulting from the Adviser's asset allocation decisions. The selection of underlying funds and the allocation of the fund's assets among various asset classes could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. In addition, the fund's active asset allocation strategy may cause the fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed above from time to time and may increase losses.
Investing in Other Funds. A fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds. A fund does not control the investments of the underlying funds, which may have different investment objectives and may engage in investment strategies that a fund would not engage in directly. Aggregation of underlying fund holdings may result in indirect concentration of assets in a particular industry or group of industries, or in a single issuer, which may increase volatility.
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks, and stocks selected using quantitative or technical analysis can react differently than stocks selected using fundamental analysis. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Floating Rate Loan Trading. The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. For example, if the credit quality of a floating rate loan unexpectedly declines significantly, secondary market trading in that floating rate loan can also decline for a period of time. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult, and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.
Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities, including money market securities, have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and certain types of securities, such as mortgage securities and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector, can be more sensitive to interest rate changes, meaning the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. Short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates. Securities with floating interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much as interest rates in general. Securities whose payment at maturity is based on the movement of all or part of an index and inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations, and securities for which an entity located in a foreign country provides credit support or a maturity-shortening structure can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.
Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.
Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments. In addition, from time to time, a small number of companies may represent a large portion of a single industry or a group of related industries as a whole, and these companies can be sensitive to adverse economic, regulatory, or financial developments.
The commodities industries can be significantly affected by the level and volatility of commodity prices; the rate of commodity consumption; world events including international monetary and political developments; import controls, export controls, and worldwide competition; exploration and production spending; and tax and other government regulations and economic conditions.
Companies in the financial services industries are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services industries can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.
The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry, including REITs, can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In addition, the value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT, and REITs may not have diversified holdings. Because REITs are pooled investment vehicles that have expenses of their own, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of those expenses.
Subsidiary Risk. An underlying fund may invest a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary (the Subsidiary). The investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the underlying fund that invests in it and, therefore, the Subsidiary is subject to risks similar to those of such fund, including the risks associated with investing in derivatives and commodity-linked investing in general. Because the Subsidiary is organized under Cayman Islands law and is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), the Subsidiary is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. The underlying fund that invests in the Subsidiary relies on a private letter ruling received by other Fidelity® funds from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to its investment in the Subsidiary. Changes in U.S. or Cayman Islands laws could result in the inability of such fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus.
Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, inflation-protected debt securities, and floating rate loans, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment or when the credit quality of an issuer improves and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value and an issuer's or counterparty's ability to pay interest and principal when due. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes, and if the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), including floating rate loans, and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price, and often are considered to be speculative. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.
Correlation to Index. The performance of an underlying index fund and its index may vary somewhat due to factors such as fees and expenses of the underlying fund, transaction costs, imperfect correlation between the underlying fund's securities and those in its index, timing differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index, and changes in the shares outstanding of the component securities. An underlying index fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the underlying fund or as a result of reserves of cash held by the underlying fund to meet redemptions. The use of sampling techniques or futures or other derivative positions may affect an underlying index fund's ability to achieve close correlation with its index. In addition, an underlying index fund may not be able to invest in certain securities in its index or invest in them in the exact proportions in which they are represented in the index due to regulatory restrictions.
Leverage Risk. Derivatives and forward-settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. A small change in the underlying asset, instrument, or index can lead to a significant loss. Assets segregated to cover these transactions may decline in value and are not available to meet redemptions. Forward-settling securities also involve the risk that a security will not be issued, delivered, or paid for when anticipated. Government legislation or regulation could affect the use of these transactions and could limit a fund's ability to pursue its investment strategies.
"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.
"Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.
Inflation-Protected Debt Exposure. Inflation-protected debt securities tend to react to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
Small Cap Investing. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller issuers can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources.
Commodity-Linked Investing. The performance of commodities, commodity-linked swaps, futures, notes, and other commodity-related investments may depend on the performance of the overall commodities markets and on other factors that affect the value of commodities, including weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked instruments may be leveraged. For example, the price of a three-times leveraged commodity-linked note may change by a magnitude of three for every percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying index. Commodity-linked investments may be hybrid instruments that can have substantial risk of loss with respect to both principal and interest. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures, are subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. As a result, returns of commodity-linked investments may deviate significantly from the return of the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Fundamental Investment Policies
The following is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:
Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Each of Fidelity Freedom K® 2005 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2010 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2015 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2020 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2025 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2030 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2035 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2040 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2045 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2050 Fund, Fidelity Freedom K® 2055 Fund, and Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund seeks high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter the fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Valuing Shares
Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.
The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV.
NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
NAV is calculated using the values of the underlying Fidelity® funds in which a fund invests. Shares of underlying Fidelity® funds are valued at their respective NAVs. For an explanation of the circumstances under which the underlying Fidelity® funds will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing, see the underlying Fidelity® funds' prospectuses and statements of additional information (SAIs).
To the extent that underlying Fidelity® fund assets are traded in other markets on days when a fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some underlying Fidelity® fund assets may not occur on days when a fund is open for business.
Shareholder Information
Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares
As used in this prospectus, the term "shares" generally refers to the shares offered through this prospectus.
General Information
Certain methods of contacting Fidelity may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted.
Frequent Purchases and Redemptions
A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.
Each fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.
Excessive Trading Policy
The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.
Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in the Adviser's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.
Exceptions
The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the fund's Treasurer.
Omnibus Accounts
Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.
Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. There is no assurance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.
If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.
Qualified Wrap Programs
The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Transactions of an adviser will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy).
A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give the Adviser sufficient information to permit the Adviser to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.
Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy
The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.
The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.
As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.
Buying Shares
Eligibility
Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.
Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans (including profit sharing, 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), and similar plans) that are recordkept by Fidelity or, if not recordkept by Fidelity, that already hold shares of Fidelity Freedom® Funds (funds not offered through this prospectus). Shares may also be available to an employer-sponsored retirement plan whose sponsor is involved in a corporate action with a company that sponsors a plan for which Fidelity provides recordkeeping services, in anticipation of a transition to the Fidelity® recordkeeping platform. Please contact Fidelity for more information about fund shares.
Shares generally are not available to retail retirement or non-retirement accounts, traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, individual 403(b) accounts that are not part of an employer's 403(b) plan, or qualified tuition programs.
There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for fund shares.
Price to Buy
The price to buy one share is its NAV. Shares are sold without a sales charge.
Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
Selling Shares
The price to sell one share is its NAV.
Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.
See "Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares" below for additional redemption information.
A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:
- When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.
- When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.
- When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner.
- In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity® account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity® Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
- Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.
- Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
- Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
- You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares
If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.
If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.
As noted elsewhere, payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days as permitted by applicable law.
Redemption Methods Available. Generally a fund expects to pay redemption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy redemption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also satisfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an available line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.
In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemption in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemption order in proper form by a fund.
Exchanging Shares
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
Shares may be exchanged into shares of any class of a Fidelity® fund available through your plan.
However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:
- The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
- Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in the Adviser's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
- Before any exchange, read the prospectus for the shares you are purchasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.
- The shares you are acquiring by exchange must be available for sale in your state.
- If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
The funds may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.
Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.
Account Policies
The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.
Combination with Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund. Each fund may be combined with Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund, without a vote of shareholders, if the funds' Board of Trustees determines at the time of the proposed combination that combining the funds is in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Prior to a combination, Fidelity will notify shareholders of a fund of the combination and any tax consequences.
Statements that Fidelity sends to you, if applicable, include the following:
- Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund).
- Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).
You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.
You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations. In addition, each fund reserves the right to involuntarily redeem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening conduct or actual or suspected fraudulent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other individual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner to provide information to the funds related to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, calculated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.
Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
Each fund (except Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund) normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in May and December.
Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund normally pays dividends monthly (except January) and capital gain distributions in May and December.
Any dividends and capital gain distributions paid to retirement plan participants will be automatically reinvested.
Tax Consequences
Taxes on Distributions Distributions by each fund to tax-advantaged retirement plan accounts are not taxable currently (but you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Taxes on Transactions
Exchanges within a tax-advantaged retirement plan account will not result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of distributions from a tax-advantaged retirement plan account.Fund Services
Fund Management
Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.
Adviser
FMRC. The Adviser is each fund's manager. The address of the Adviser is 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210.
The Adviser began managing the funds on October 1, 2015. Prior to such date, Strategic Advisers, Inc., an affiliated investment adviser, managed the funds.
As of December 31, 2016, the Adviser had approximately $919.5 billion in discretionary assets under management, and approximately $2.13 trillion when combined with all of its affiliates' assets under management.
As the manager, the Adviser administers the asset allocation program for each fund.
FMR is responsible for handling the business affairs for each fund.
Portfolio Manager(s)
Andrew Dierdorf is co-manager of each fund, which he has managed (other than Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund) since June 2011. He has managed Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund since August 2014. He also manages other funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 2004, Mr. Dierdorf has worked as a portfolio manager.
Brett Sumsion is co-manager of each fund, which he has managed (other than Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund) since January 2014. He has managed Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund since August 2014. He also manages other funds. Prior to joining Fidelity Investments in 2014 as a portfolio manager, Mr. Sumsion worked as a managing director of asset allocation at DuPont Capital Management, Inc. from 2008 to 2013.
The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by the portfolio managers.
From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity® fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity® fund.
Advisory Fee(s)
Each fund’s shareholders approved the adoption of an amended and restated management contract that, effective June 1, 2017, implemented a new pricing structure for each fund. Prior to June 1, 2017, each fund did not pay a management fee. Effective June 1, 2017, each class of each fund pays an all-inclusive management fee to the Adviser at an annual rate based on the average daily net assets of the class that is set by referring to the fund’s target date such that the management fees applicable to each class of the fund are reduced as the fund approaches, and then passes, its target date.
A different all-inclusive management fee rate is applicable to each class of each fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of a fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.
The all-inclusive management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser each month. Out of each class’s all-inclusive management fee, the Adviser or an affiliate pays all expenses of managing and operating the fund, with certain limited exceptions.
Each fund’s total management fee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 was 0.00% of the fund’s average net assets. Effective June 1, 2017, the management fee for each fund is set forth in the table below. The management fee rate will be reduced as the fund approaches, and then passes, its target date.
| Fidelity Freedom K® Income Fund | 0.42% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2005 Fund | 0.44% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2010 Fund | 0.47% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2015 Fund | 0.50% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2020 Fund | 0.54% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2025 Fund | 0.57% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2030 Fund | 0.61% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2035 Fund | 0.64% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2040 Fund | 0.64% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2045 Fund | 0.64% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2050 Fund | 0.64% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2055 Fund | 0.64% |
| Fidelity Freedom K® 2060 Fund | 0.64% |
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract for each fund is available in each fund's semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2016.
From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while retaining the ability to be repaid if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.
Fund Distribution
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes each fund's shares.
Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of fund shares. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.
Distribution and Service Plan(s)
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act that recognizes that the Adviser or FMR may use its revenues, including management fees paid to the Adviser, or fees paid to FMR by the Adviser out of such management fees, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser or FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments.
If payments made by the Adviser or FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity® funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity® funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.
