     "I'm also interested in financials. European banks
     are trading at significant discounts relative to history
     because interest rates have been so low for years
     now. Their stock prices reflect returns on equity (a
     measure of profitability) that are half of what they
     have been historically. If interest rates normalize,
     however, the banks will earn better net interest
     margins on their loans. Among our bank holdings at
     period end are BNP Paribas and Société Generale in
     France, and Lloyd's Banking Group in the U.K."

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate; therefore, you may have a
gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance stated. Performance shown is that of the
fund's Retail Class shares (if multiclass). You may own another share class of the fund with a different expense structure and, thus, have different
returns. To learn more or to obtain the most recent month-end or other share-class performance, visit fidelity.com/performance,
institutional.fidelity.com, or 401k.com. Total returns are historical and include change in share value and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains,
if any. Cumulative total returns are reported as of the period indicated. Please see the last page(s) of this Q&A document for most-recent calendar-
quarter performance.
