1 Investing Liquidity in a Total Rate of Return World April 2016 Not FDIC insured. May lose value. No bank guarantee. Not NCUA or NCUSIF insured. May lose value. No credit union guarantee.
2 Agenda 1. Regulatory Reform and Higher Rates Impact Liquidity Markets 2. Not All Prime Funds are the Same What Should Investors Consider 3. Alternative Investments for Strategic Liquidity 4. Interest Rate Outlook You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Fidelity Investments and its affiliates, the fund s sponsor, have no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a money market security to decrease. 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 money market security to decrease. 1

10 Evaluating Prime Funds You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Fidelity Investments and its affiliates, the fund s sponsor, have no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a money market security to decrease. 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 money market security to decrease

12 Understanding Money Market NAV Calculation Stable NAV Amortized Cost of Investments + NOA* Total Shares Outstanding Floating NAV Market Value of Investments + NOA* Total Shares Outstanding The net asset value (NAV) of a fund is the dollar value of one share The NAV is calculated daily and is the price at which a fund will be transacted Floating NAV funds can float based on pricing the underlying holdings Floating NAV transactions are executed at four decimals ($1.0001) Even a stable NAV does not guarantee a $1.00 value and may lose value *NOA or net other assets include payables, receivables and cash 11

In the scenario shown you would have to realize a loss of $350K instead of a $150K loss if you realized a smaller loss earlier. 20
22 Alternatives for Strategic Liquidity
23 Segmenting Liquidity is Critical Accurate Liquidity Forecasting May Enhance Returns and Lower Risks Operating Liquidity Key focus is capital preservation and liquidity with high cash flow volatility and a short term investment horizon Short Term Strategic Liquidity Equally focused on capital preservation and returns while maintaining a moderate investment horizon and moderate cash volatility Long Term Strategic Liquidity Trade-off liquidity and stability for enhanced return, low volatility and long term investment horizon 22
24 Investment Priorities Objectives drive investment strategy Different Objectives Different Investment Priorities Operating Cash Short-Term Strategic Liquidity Long-Term Strategic Liquidity Capital Preservation Liquidity Capital Preservation Return Return Capital Preservation Return Liquidity Liquidity Balancing safety, liquidity and returns 23
25 Liquidity Management Solutions A more diverse suite of alternative products Operating Cash Strategic Liquidity Deposits Gov t MMFs Pools/SMAs Direct Investments Prime MMFs Ultrashort Funds Pools/SMAs 24
26 Regulation Reduces Prime MMF Value Proposition Select ultrashort funds represent a better value for strategic liquidity Prime MMFs: Subject to gates and fees under stress NAV floats out four decimal places Conservative Ultrashort Bond Funds: Provide T+1 liquidity no gates or fees NAV floats at $10 out two decimal places 25 In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation, credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible. Foreign securities can be more volatile than U.S. markets due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns can have a significant effect on issuers in the financial services sector, including the price of their securities or their ability to meet their payment obligations. Prepayment of principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change. The fund can invest in securities that may have a leveraging effect (such as derivatives and forward-settling securities) that may increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. Conservative Ultrashort Bond Funds are not money market funds and will have a fluctuating NAV.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return will fluctuate, therefore you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
