Management Discussion of Fund Performance Results of Operations Fidelity American Balanced Currency Neutral Fund (Fund), Series B, returned.%, after fees and expenses, for the six-month period ended September 3,. The net returns of the other series of this Fund are similar to those of Series B, except for differences attributable to expense structures. U.S. equity markets, as represented by the S&P Index Hedged CAD, returned 7.3% in Canadian dollar terms for the same period. U.S. investment grade bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Hedged CAD, returned 2.% in Canadian dollar terms for the same period. Fidelity American Balanced Currency Neutral Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth. It invests substantially all of its assets in securities of Fidelity American Balanced Fund (Underlying Fund). Market Overview: U.S. equity markets lagged other global equity markets as the impact of positive economic data was offset by concerns regarding geopolitical tensions in the Korean peninsula, the economic implications of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and the Canadian dollar s appreciation relative to the U.S. dollar. However, investor sentiment remained strong on the back of largely positive domestic data and the new U.S. administration s tax reform proposals. U.S. investment grade bonds registered negative returns in Canadian dollar terms due to the Canadian dollar s appreciation during the review period. Positive returns in global investment-grade bonds were dampened slightly when yields rose after the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased interest rates in June from 1.% to 1.2% the second rate increase in. Yields began to edge even higher toward end of the review period, partially due to the new U.S. administration s tax reform plan, which raised both optimism for future growth and concerns about an increase in the Federal deficit. The Fed indicated there may be one more interest rate increase during the year, followed by three potential increases in 218 contingent on upcoming economic data. The Fed also announced that it would start winding down its balance sheet from October, but said that the normalization process would be gradual and predictable. Factors affecting performance: On a total return basis, the Fund s exposure to global small/mid-cap equities through Fidelity Global Intrinsic Value Investment Trust contributed to total returns, while exposure to fixed-income securities through Fidelity U.S. Bond Investment Trust detracted from total returns. Within Fidelity Global Intrinsic Value Investment Trust, exposure to holdings in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors contributed to total returns. In the consumer discretionary sector, U.K. residential property developer Bellway, and U.S. hospitality company Wyndham Worldwide, contributed to total returns. In health care, pharmaceutical companies Abbvie and Novo-Nordisk contributed to total returns. Among fixed-income holdings, Fidelity U.S. Bond Investment Trust posted a negative total return in Canadian dollar terms due to the appreciation of the Canadian dollar versus U.S. dollar over the period. However, the return was positive when measured in U.S. dollars. Exposure to U.S. equities also contributed to total returns, with exposure to both Fidelity Insights Investment Trust and Fidelity American Equity Fund both making positive contributions to total returns. Portfolio Changes: In terms of asset allocation, the most notable position change during the review period was the addition of Fidelity Insights Investment Trust, which is a growth oriented, large market capitalization, U.S. equity mandate managed by veteran portfolio manager Will Danoff. To accommodate this new position, exposure was trimmed from Fidelity American Equity Fund and Fidelity Global Intrinsic Value Investment Trust. In the Fund s exposure to global equities through Fidelity Global Intrinsic Value Investment Trust, exposure was increased to the consumer discretionary and financials sectors. Within the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund initiated a position in U.S.-based kitchenware and home furnishing retailer Williams-Sonoma, the portfolio managers favouring its strong fundamentals and its successful e-commerce strategy. Within the financials sector, the Fund initiated a position in U.S.-based financial services company JPMorgan Chase. The portfolio managers believe the company is very well managed and attractively valued, with a decent dividend yield. Exposure was increased to select holdings in the insurance and banking industries, particularly to firms that the portfolio managers believe have had more robust balance sheets and attractive valuations based on their book values. Though the portfolio managers have generally been cautious on the financials sector, they sought to modestly increase their exposure to avoid a significantly lower-than-benchmark exposure in order to manage risk. Exposure to the 1

Fidelity American Balanced Currency Neutral Fund Management Discussion of Fund Performance continued real estate sector was also increased by adding to the position in Japan-based construction company Leopalace 21 Corporation, owing to its strong growth prospects, in the portfolio manager s view. In contrast, exposure was reduced to the consumer staples sector. Exposure was reduced to food, beverage and tobacco companies such as Denmark-based cigar and traditional pipe tobacco manufacturer Scandinavian Tobacco Group, as the portfolio managers opted to realize profits after the share price rebounded significantly. The position in Switzerlandbased convenience foods producer Orior was also reduced as the portfolio manager believe that the fundamentals appeared less attractive than before and the risk-reward profile became less favourable. Within the Fund s exposure to U.S. equities through Fidelity American Equity Fund, allocation to the financials sector was increased, while exposure to the health care sector was reduced. In the financials sector, positions were initiated in investment management company BlackRock, and in electronic brokerage firm Interactive Brokers, owing to their attractive valuations, in the portfolio manager s view. In the health care sector, the Fund reduced its exposure to health care services company Cardinal Health, as the portfolio manager found better investment opportunities elsewhere. Within the Fund s exposure to U.S. equities through Fidelity Insights Investment Trust, allocation to the health care sector was increased, while exposure to the financials sector declined. In the health care sector, the Fund initiated a position in Vertex Pharmaceuticals, owing to their unique offering of cystic fibrosis drugs. In the financials sector, the Fund reduced its exposure to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, as the portfolio manager found better opportunities elsewhere. Within the Fund s bond exposure through Fidelity U.S. Bond Investment Trust, allocations to corporate and treasury bonds were increased, as the portfolio managers believe their yields appeared attractive. Among corporate bonds, financial institution issuers were increased. Derivative Disclosure: During the period, the Fund engaged in forward contracts, in a manner consistent with its investment objective and strategies, to hedge as completely as possible against the effect of currency fluctuations on the Fund s investment returns. The use of forward contracts in this manner does not completely eliminate the impact of currency fluctuations on returns. The Fund s returns will differ from the local currency returns of the Fund s underlying investments. Recent Developments Asset allocation portfolio managers Geoff Stein and David Wolf seek to maintain a strategic allocation of equities and fixed-income securities. They believe the economic cycle is approaching its later stages as central banks are beginning to raise interest rates and inflation risks are growing. Fidelity American Equity Fund portfolio manager Steve MacMillan believes that U.S. stocks should continue to perform well over the long term. He believes an investment in U.S. equities is not a short-term trade but rather a long-term strategic allocation with a place in any diversified portfolio. Regardless of the economic climate, he remains committed to seeking businesses that are less sensitive to cyclical risks, have strong earnings visibility and can grow revenues. Fidelity Global Intrinsic Value Investment Trust portfolio managers Joel Tillinghast and Salim Hart aim to build a portfolio with a mix of holdings across the market spectrum. They have recently been finding more opportunities among smaller-cap companies, where valuations appear more attractive in their view. They employ an intrinsic value investment framework, using bottom-up fundamental analysis and quantitative techniques to identify high-quality companies that could compound returns over time. The portfolio managers seek to mitigate downside risk by emphasizing companies with attractive stock valuations. Regionally, they are currently finding more investment opportunities in emerging Asia. Fidelity Insights Investment Trust portfolio manager Will Danoff has found attractive investment opportunities in the information technology sector, believing that many top companies have the potential for significant growth. He emphasizes what he considers to be franchise companies in technology those with dominant positions, particularly in the online mobile advertising space. He believes they can continue to grow their revenues as consumers search the web more often from their smartphones. Globally, he currently prefers U.S.-centric companies, believing the U.S. economy should remain strong. Despite U.S. market valuations being elevated, he believes the outlook for the companies he owns is positive, and that they have the opportunity to grow meaningfully over the next two or three years. Fidelity U.S. Bond Investment Trust portfolio manager Jeff Moore believes that given the prevailing market conditions, investment grade corporate bonds offer more attractive total return potential than treasuries and government bonds. He remains focused on the Fed s monetary policy direction and whether it can be affected by developments in the U.S. administration s proposed fiscal policies. As at September 3,, in terms of asset allocation, the largest amount of the Fund s assets was invested in foreign equities. On a geographic basis, the Fund s largest exposure was to the U.S., followed by Japan and United Kingdom. 2

Financial Highlights continued Financial Highlights Footnotes A For the period April 22, 216 (inception date) to. B C D E F G H I This information is derived from the Fund s audited annual and/or unaudited interim financial statements. 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, 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, may not foot due to this rounding change. 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. Distributions are presented based on management s best estimate of the tax character. 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. Effective June 3, 216, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated. 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 % 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. J For the period January 6, (commencement of sale of securities) to. K Effective January,, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated. 14

Management and Advisory Fees Fidelity serves as manager and investment advisor of the Fund. The Fund pays Fidelity a monthly management and advisory fee for their 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 the 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 % of the fees earned by Fidelity during the period.
