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 and if you hold your

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
47% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a stable
neutral asset allocation strategy. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy
(approximately 11% in U.S. equity funds, 8% in international equity funds, 43%
in U.S. investment grade bond funds, 5% in international bond funds, 3% in
long-term treasury bond funds, 20% in inflation-protected bond funds, and 10%
in short-term funds) is expected to take effect by the end of the third
quarter of 2022. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser)
has begun transitioning the neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve
the desired allocations. The Adviser may modify the fund’s neutral asset
allocations from time to time when in the interests of shareholders.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets individually,
but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Emerging
markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by
MSCI, countries or markets with low-to middle-income economies as classified
by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies
as having similar emerging markets characteristics.
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.
- Income
Risk. A low or negative interest rate environment can adversely
affect an underlying fund’s yield.
- 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual
securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund,
which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the
performance of these underlying funds could be lower than actively managed
funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market
opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the
value of one or more issuers. An underlying index fund may be concentrated to
approximately the same extent that its index concentrates in the securities of
issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.
- Leverage
Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment
risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
- Inflation-Protected
Debt Exposure. Increases in real interest rates can cause the price
of inflation-protected debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on
inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown
are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another
tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.

Tax
Information
Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and

tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon
withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their
affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers,
retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be
affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your
intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another
investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web
site for more information.

Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2005. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who retired in or
within a few years of 2005 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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.
- Income
Risk. A low or negative interest rate environment can adversely
affect an underlying fund’s yield.
- 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual
securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund,
which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the
performance of these underlying funds could be lower than actively managed
funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market
opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the
value of one or more issuers. An underlying index fund may be concentrated to
approximately the same extent that its index concentrates in the securities of
issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.
- Leverage
Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment
risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
- Inflation-Protected
Debt Exposure. Increases in real interest rates can cause the price
of inflation-protected debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on
inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.

Shares of the fund are not eligible for purchase by registered investment
companies or business development companies to the extent such acquisition is in
reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Class I and Class Z eligibility requirements are listed in the "Additional
Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares" section of the prospectus.

any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). The price to sell one
share of Class I or Class Z is its NAV. Shares will be sold at the NAV next
calculated after an order is received in proper form, minus any applicable CDSC.
The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is
open.
There is no purchase minimum for fund shares.
Tax
Information
Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and
generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be
subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a
tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon
withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their
affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers,
retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be
affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your
intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another
investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web
site for more information.

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 and if you hold your
shares:

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
37% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2010. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who retired in or
within a few years of 2010 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual

- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price

single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating

Tax
Information
Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and
generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be

withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their
affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers,
retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be
affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your
intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another

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
35% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2015. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who retired in or
within a few years of 2015 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual
securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund,
which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the
performance of these underlying funds could be lower than actively managed
funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market
opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the
value of one or more issuers. An underlying index fund may be concentrated to
approximately the same extent that its index concentrates in the securities of
issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.
- Leverage
Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment
risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
- Inflation-Protected
Debt Exposure. Increases in real interest rates can cause the price
of inflation-protected debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on
inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.

glide path above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who retired in or
within a few years of 2020 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual
securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund,
which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the
performance of these underlying funds could be lower than actively managed
funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market
opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the
value of one or more issuers. An underlying index fund may be concentrated to
approximately the same extent that its index concentrates in the securities of
issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.

withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their
affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers,
retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be
affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your
intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another
investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web
site for more information.

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 and if you hold your
shares:

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 primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2025. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring
in or within a few years of 2025 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual

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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.

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
31% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2030. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring
in or within a few years of 2030 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- 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, sample selection, regulatory restrictions, and timing
differences associated with additions to and deletions from the index. Errors
in the construction or calculation of the index may occur from time to time
and may not be identified and corrected for some period of time, which may
have an adverse impact on an underlying fund and its shareholders.
- Passive
Management Risk. Some of the underlying funds in which the fund
invests are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track
the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current
or projected performance of an underlying fund's index or of the actual
securities included in the index. This differs from an actively managed fund,
which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the
performance of these underlying funds could be lower than actively managed
funds that may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market
opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the
value of one or more issuers. An underlying index fund may be concentrated to
approximately the same extent that its index concentrates in the securities of
issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

After-tax returns for Class A
are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will
vary. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your
individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown
are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another
tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.

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
27% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2035. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring
in or within a few years of 2035 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- Geographic
Exposure to China. Because an underlying fund invests a significant
percentage in China, the underlying fund's performance is expected to be
closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions in China and to be
more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.
The fund may obtain exposure to companies based or operated in China by
investing through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs).
Instead of directly owning the equity securities of a Chinese company, a VIE
enters into service and other contracts with the Chinese company. Although the
VIE has no equity ownership of the Chinese company, the contractual
arrangements permit the VIE to consolidate the Chinese company into its
financial statements. Intervention by the Chinese government with respect to
VIEs could significantly affect the Chinese company’s performance and the
enforceability of the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the Chinese company.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.

withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their
affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers,
retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be
affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your
intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another
investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web
site for more information.

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

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
26% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2040. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring
in or within a few years of 2040 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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

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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
An investment in the fund is not a
deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit

Tax
Information
Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and
generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be
subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a
tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon
withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their
affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers,
retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be
affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your
intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another

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 and if you hold your
shares:

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
27% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
- Investing primarily in a combination of
Fidelity® U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond
funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity® funds).
- Allocating assets according to a neutral asset
allocation strategy shown in the glide path below that adjusts over time until
it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Fidelity Advisor
Freedom® Income Fund, approximately 10 to 19 years after the year
2045. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify
the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests
of shareholders. A revised neutral asset allocation strategy for the fund is
expected to take effect by the end of the third quarter of 2022, as
illustrated in the following chart. The Adviser has begun transitioning the
neutral asset allocation percentages to achieve the desired allocations.
- The neutral asset allocation shown in the
glide path depicts the allocation to U.S. equity funds, international equity
funds, bond funds (including U.S. investment grade bond, international bond,
inflation-protected bond, and long-term treasury bond), and short-term funds.
- Buying and selling futures contracts (both
long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently,
remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will make investments that are consistent with seeking high total return for
several years beyond the fund's target retirement date in an effort to achieve
the fund's overall investment objective.
- The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease asset
class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations reflected above by
up to 10% for equity funds, bond funds and short-term funds to reflect the
Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
The asset allocations in the glide path above are referred to as neutral
because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or
underweight an asset class.
- The Adviser may also make active asset
allocations within other asset classes (such as commodities, high yield debt
(also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real estate debt, and
emerging markets debt) from 0% to 10% of the fund’s total assets 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 above. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging
stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to
middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries
or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets
characteristics.
- Designed for investors who anticipate retiring
in or within a few years of 2045 (target retirement date) at or around age 65.
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. The Adviser will continue to invest the fund's
assets in equity funds in the years following the fund's target retirement
date in an effort to achieve the fund's overall investment objective. 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.
- 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. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and
regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging
markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial
reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the
scope or quality of financial information available to investors. 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.
- Geographic
Exposure to China. Because an underlying fund invests a significant
percentage in China, the underlying fund's performance is expected to be
closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions in China and to be
more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.
The fund may obtain exposure to companies based or operated in China by
investing through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs).
Instead of directly owning the equity securities of a Chinese company, a VIE
enters into service and other contracts with the Chinese company. Although the
VIE has no equity ownership of the Chinese company, the contractual
arrangements permit the VIE to consolidate the Chinese company into its
financial statements. Intervention by the Chinese government with respect to
VIEs could significantly affect the Chinese company’s performance and the
enforceability of the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the Chinese company.
- 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.
- 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.
- Commodity
Futures. Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject
to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying
fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In
addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures
contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating
unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it
from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
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.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the fund. The information
illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to
year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a
securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over
various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics
relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the
"Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Prior to June 1, 2017,
the fund operated under a different pricing structure. The fund’s historical
performance prior to June 1, 2017 does not reflect the fund’s current pricing
structure. Past performance (before and
after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Unlike the returns in the bar

charges. After-tax returns are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax
rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes.
After-tax returns for Class A
are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will
vary. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your
individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown
are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another
tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing,
401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on
Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the
same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of
fund shares.
