QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017 Fidelity Fund Investment Approach Fidelity Fund is a diversified domestic equity strategy with a large-cap core orientation. Our guiding philosophy is that stocks of high-quality companies that exhibit persistent growth and generate positive free cash flow, when purchased at reasonable prices, can outperform the market over time. We believe differences often exist between a stock's price and its true value because the market incorrectly forecasts the sustainability and/or magnitude of future growth. We look to uncover these opportunities through in-depth bottom-up, fundamental analysis, working in concert with Fidelity's global research team.

Performance Review For the quarter, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 6.82%, edging the 6.64% result of the benchmark S&P 500 index. Versus the benchmark, stock selection was helpful, particularly in the financials, consumer staples and energy sectors. Positioning in utilities also helped. Conversely, notable relative detractors included positioning in health care and picks in materials. At the stock level, avoiding two weak-performing benchmark components, General Electric and Merck, aided our performance versus the S&P 500. Shares of General Electric returned roughly -27%, as the industrial conglomerate cut its dividend for the first time since 2009 and reported its largest quarterly earnings miss in roughly 17 years. The company attributed its struggles to lackluster performance in its oil-and-gas and electric powerrelated businesses. Shares of Merck, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical firms, returned about -11% the past three months. During its quarterly earnings call in October, Merck announced that, due to regulatory issues, it had pulled its European application for Keytruda as a first-line immunotherapy treatment for lung cancer. Keytruda accounts for about 10% of Merck's revenue, and investors considered foregoing Europe a significant setback; the stock lost more than 10% of its value over the next couple of days. Elsewhere, outsized exposure to Bank of America was a good call. Among the fund's largest holdings, Bank of America saw its shares rise 17% for the quarter, driven partly by expectations that future earnings would benefit as a result of the new federal tax bill, as well as higher policy interest rates. In October, the company reported better-than-expected revenue, earnings and customer deposits, largely due to its consumer banking operation. The bank also reported continued growth in loans and higherthan-expected net interest income, and that it was not seeing weakness in its mortgage or credit card businesses. LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK Average Contribution (basis points)* General Electric Co. Industrials -0.78% 33 Bank of America Corp. Financials 2.06% 20 Merck & Co., Inc. Health Care -0.71% 15 Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Consumer Staples 0.85% 14 JPMorgan Chase & Co. Financials 2.25% 13 * 1 basis point = 0.01%. In consumer staples, overweighting Wal-Mart Stores also lifted our relative result. The stock rose 27% for the quarter, rising sharply and reaching an all-time high in mid-november after the retailer announced quarterly revenue and earnings that beat Wall Street estimates. The firm also raised its forecast for the holiday season, further boosting its shares. Wal-Mart executives specifically cited what it considered a strong return on its big bet on digital sales at Jet.com, ModCloth, Bonobos and Moosejaw, among other shopping sites owned by Wal-Mart, rose 50% in the U.S. for the third quarter, according to the company. Conversely, the fund's three biggest detractors came from the health care sector: Celgene, Amgen and Gilead Sciences. Shortly after hitting an all-time high, shares of biopharmaceutical firm Celgene (-28%) took an October tumble amid a flurry of negative news. First came the announcement that the company would cease trials for mongersen, its candidate compound to treat Crohn's disease, for which Celgene paid $710 million in 2014. Next came management's downward earnings guidance, given disappointing sales of its psoriasis drug Otezla. These events were followed by worries over other of Celgene's pipeline prospects and the potential for a reshuffling of executives. The stock of multinational biopharmaceutical firm Amgen returned -6% the past three months. Revenue for the third quarter was down slightly year over year amid a bevy of new and prospective generic-drug competitors, even as Amgen reported favorable results in late-stage trials for its Kyprolis blood-cancer drug, among others. Like many other biotechs, Gilead Sciences saw its stock retreat this quarter, returning -11%. Though the firm faced no particular news or event, continued erosion in sales of its hepatitis C drug Harvoni weighed on Gilead's stock price. Revenue from the medication has been declining because, unlike many drugs, Harvoni can in most cases cure a patient usually after just a few months' treatment. LARGEST DETRACTORS VS. BENCHMARK Average Contribution (basis points)* Celgene Corp. Health Care 0.73% -38 Amgen, Inc. Health Care 1.75% -24 Gilead Sciences, Inc. Health Care 0.65% -13 Intel Corp. Information Technology -0.92% -13 Boston Scientific Corp. Health Care 0.52% -12 * 1 basis point = 0.01%. 2 For definitions and other important information, please see Definitions and Important Information section of this Fund Review.
Outlook and Positioning The fund focuses on quality, growth at a reasonable price and tax efficiency. For valuation purposes, in addition to looking at priceearnings ratios, we rely extensively on free-cash-flow (FCF) yields. In our view, FCF is more reliable and less subject to manipulation than earnings, therefore providing a clearer and more-accurate way to compare the appeal of various investment choices. We aim to optimize the probability of upside return while focusing on downside-risk protection, and we believe we can accomplish this through individual security selection. Thus, the fund seeks to outperform the benchmark mainly through stock picking, while maintaining a more or less neutral sector allocation compared with the benchmark. In determining sector weightings, we look at the FCF yield of each sector and combine that with sector fundamentals and companylevel inputs. This quarter, we maintained the fund's larger-than-index allocations to health care and information technology, which we believe to be attractive on the basis of FCF yield. These represented the fund's two largest year-end sector overweightings, whereas energy and consumer discretionary were its biggest underweightings. Among individual holdings as of December 31, Apple was the largest absolute holding, and also a notable overweighting. Other top holdings included software maker Microsoft, Google parent Alphabet and social-media firm Facebook. to the benchmark, several banks were among the fund's largest positions, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. Conversely, significant underweightings included insurancefocused conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, energy giant Exxon Mobil, and communications providers AT&T and Verizon Communications. We chose to avoid each of these benchmark components based on our view that they were trading at expensive valuations this quarter. At year-end, we remain cautiously optimistic and see plenty of opportunities in attractively priced names. Under the current U.S. administration, we believe government stimulus or tax reform could improve cash flows for many firms. Overall, we are seeing more widespread opportunities for companies to grow their earnings, whether it is through organic growth, stimulus or tax reform. In positioning the fund, we continue to look for companies that fit our investment process and could benefit in this environment.

3-YEAR RISK/RETURN STATISTICS Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to its benchmark index. A beta greater (less) than 1 is more (less) volatile than the index. Information Ratio measures a fund's active return (fund's average monthly return minus the benchmark's average monthly return) in relation to the volatility of its active returns. R-Squared measures how a fund's performance correlates with a benchmark index's performance and shows what portion of it can be explained by the performance of the overall market/index. R- Squared ranges from 0, meaning no correlation, to 1, meaning perfect correlation. An R-Squared value of less than 0.5 indicates that annualized alpha and beta are not reliable performance statistics. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by dividing the fund's excess returns (the fund's average annual return for the period minus the 3-month "risk free" return rate) and dividing it by the standard deviation of the fund's returns. The higher the ratio, the better the fund's return per unit of risk. The three month "risk free" rate used is the 90-day Treasury Bill rate. Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of the dispersion of a fund's return over a specified time period. Fidelity calculates standard deviations by comparing a fund's monthly returns to its average monthly return over a 36-month period, and then annualizes the number. Investors may examine historical standard deviation in conjunction with historical returns to decide whether a fund's volatility would have been acceptable given the returns it would have produced. A higher standard deviation indicates a wider dispersion of past returns and thus greater historical volatility. Standard deviation does not indicate how the fund actually performed, but merely indicates the volatility of its returns over time. Tracking Error is the divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark, creating an unexpected profit or loss.
