2 Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements Certain portions of this report, including, but not limited to, Results of Operations and Recent Developments, may contain forward-looking statements about the Fund, including its strategy, risks, expected performance and condition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates and similar forward-looking expressions or negative versions thereof. In addition, any statement that may be made concerning future performance, strategies or prospects, and possible future Fund action, is also a forward-looking statement.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance Results of Operations Fidelity Balanced Income Private Pool (Fund), Series B, returned 4.5%, after fees and expenses, for the six-month period ended May 31, The net returns of the other series of this Fund are similar to those of Series B, except for differences attributable to expense structures. The broad Canadian equity markets, as represented by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, returned 3.2%; while, the Canadian investment-grade bonds, as represented by the FTSE TMX Canada Universe Bond Index, returned 3.1% for the six month period ended May 31, Market overview: During the first half of the review period, Canadian equities rose on the strength of banking and oil and gas stocks. Share prices of Canadian banks rose largely on the basis of continued positive investor sentiment, including a spillover effect from strength in U.S. financial stocks that rallied following the presidential election. Oil prices also rose during the first half of the period, following the agreement of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to reduce crude output. During the second half of the review period, however, investor concerns over a retrenchment in oil prices, rising household debt, and the risk of a pullback in the housing market weighed on Canadian equities. Canadian corporate bonds outperformed government bonds as positive economic data from both the U.S. and Canada provided a positive backdrop for relatively riskier assets. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its target Fed Fund rates again in March from 0.75% to 1.00% as the U.S. economy maintained positive growth momentum with the unemployment rate moving lower and inflation gradually moving toward the Fed s target of 2.00%. In Canada, the Bank of Canada kept monetary policy unchanged and maintained its cautious tone. The Bank continued to focus on the excess capacity within the economy and uncertainties around the new U.S. administration s trade policies and timing of tax reform and fiscal stimulus. Factors affecting performance: The Fund s benchmark returned 4.7% for the six-month period under review. The blended benchmark comprises 24.0% S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index, 16.0% MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex Canada Index, 18.0% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, 27.0% FTSE TMX Canada Universe Bond Index, and 15.0% FTSE TMX Canada 91 Day T-Bill Index. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, after fees and expenses. However, it outperformed its benchmark before fees and expenses. The Fund s holdings in emerging market equities and a lower-than-benchmark exposure to Canadian equities contributed to relative performance, while lower-than-benchmark exposure to U.S. and global equities detracted. In the fixed income segment, a lower-thanbenchmark exposure to Canadian money market securities and holdings in global investment-grade bonds contributed to relative performance, while higher-than-benchmark exposure to Canadian short-term bonds detracted from relative performance. Portfolio changes: During the review period, the portfolio managers increased exposure to global and international equities, reflecting attractive investment opportunities. In contrast, exposure to Canadian equities was reduced on the basis of potential economic risks. Similarly, exposure to U.S. equities was reduced on the basis of relatively expensive valuations compared to other global markets and reduced growth potential. Among fixed income funds, exposure to Canadian short term bonds was increased to actively manage interest rate risks within the portfolio, while exposures to Canadian and U.S. investment-grade bond funds were reduced as they found better opportunities in other segments of fixed income. Cash and cash equivalents also saw a decrease in exposure during the review period as the portfolio managers deployed cash in attractive investment opportunities. At the end of the review period, the Fund had its highest exposure to Canadian bonds, followed by Foreign bonds. The Fund is designed to offer investors a diversified investment option in a single product, with low to medium risk, and uses a balanced approach. Portfolio design, construction, ongoing monitoring and management are conducted by portfolio managers. The Fund is monitored and actively managed on a daily basis adhere to its mandate. Derivative disclosure: 1

4 Fidelity Balanced Income Private Pool of the Fidelity Capital Structure Corp. Management Discussion of Fund Performance continued During the period under review, the Fund engaged in equity futures contracts in a manner consistent with its investment objective and strategies. The U.S. equity futures positions were used to execute investment strategies that allowed the Fund to effectively change its exposure to U.S. equities without the need to buy in or sell out of strategic positions. These futures positions, in aggregate, accounted for approximately 4.6% of the Fund s net assets at the end of the review period. In general, the futures contracted tended to be more liquid and less expensive than purchasing direct equity securities. However, security selection continued to be the primary driver of performance, and these derivatives had no material impact on performance. Recent Developments During the review period, portfolio managers Geoff Stein and David Wolf reduced the overall equity allocation to the Fund s neutral mix, while diversifying exposures among international equities. The portfolio managers believe inflation shocks are becoming more of a risk. They may threaten the valuation of financial assets and the traditional negative correlation between stock and bond returns. To cope with this new market development, the portfolio managers have tilted equity components away from bond proxies while shifting the overall portfolio into real assets such as inflation-linked bonds and commodities. In addition, they are actively managing fixed-income duration to reduce the portfolio s vulnerability to rising interest rates. Independent Review Committee Effective February 28, 2017, Helen M. Meyer retired from the Independent Review Committee and was replaced by James E. Cook as Chair. Also effective on that date, Frances Horodelski of Toronto, Ontario became a member of the Independent Review Committee. 2

11 Financial Highlights Footnotes A This information is derived from the Fund s audited annual and/or unaudited interim financial statements. Periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and periods prior to January 1, 2013 follow Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Canadian GAAP). The net assets attributable to securityholders per security presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset value calculated for fund pricing purposes. An explanation of these differences can be found in the notes to financial statements. For reporting periods ending after January 1, 2017 per security comparative figures (except for net asset value per security, end of period) have been conformed to the current rounding presentation of two decimal places. As a result, reporting periods ending prior to January 1, 2017 may not foot due to this rounding change. B C D E F G Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of securities outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations is based on the weighted average number of securities outstanding over the financial period. This table is not intended to be a reconciliation of beginning to ending net assets per security. Distributions were paid in cash or reinvested in additional securities of the Fund, or both, and excludes any applicable distributions of management fee reduction to securityholders. This information is provided as at period end of the year shown. Management expense ratio is based on total expenses (excluding distributions, commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset values during the period, including the Fund s pro-rata share of estimated expenses incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable. (2017:.01%, 2016: %, 2015: %, 2014: %, 2013: %, 2012: %). The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period, including the Fund s pro-rata share of estimated trading costs incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable. The Fund s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund s portfolio adviser manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the year. The higher the Fund s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high portfolio turnover rate and the performance of the Fund. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated based on the lesser of purchases or sales of securities divided by the weighted average market value of the portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities. For periods greater than six months, but less than a full fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate is annualized. 9

12 Management and Advisory Fees Fidelity serves as manager of the Fund. The Fund pays Fidelity a monthly management fee for its services, based on the net asset value of each Series, calculated daily and payable monthly. Fidelity uses these management fees to pay for sales and trailing commissions to registered dealers on the distribution of the Fund securities, as well as for general investment management expenses. Dealer compensation represents cash commissions paid by Fidelity to registered dealers during the period and includes upfront deferred sales charge and trailing commissions. This amount may, in certain circumstances, exceed 100% of the fees earned by Fidelity during the period. For new Funds or Series the amounts presented may not be indicative of longer term operating periods.
