Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity * TAX-EFFICIENT, 1 COST-EFFECTIVE SAVINGS

A tax-efficient, cost-effective way 1 to help you save more FIDELITY PERSONAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY *

An important piece of your plan You re smart to be considering a low-cost tax-deferred variable annuity. If you are looking to gain more tax effi ciency in your portfolio, a tax-deferred variable annuity may help you achieve your goals.

Strengthen your savings with a tax-deferred variable annuity. The Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity is a tax-efficient, 1 cost-effective investing solution. This tax-deferred variable annuity allows you to save beyond your 401(k) and IRA, and it could potentially help you minimize your annual taxes on investment income. From funding your annuity to understanding your withdrawal options, Fidelity makes it easy for you to save more on a tax-deferred basis. Is a tax-deferred variable annuity right for you? Consider investing in a tax-deferred variable annuity if you: Have signifi cant assets in taxable accounts Are currently subject to high income tax rates Have 10 or more years to save your annuity assets before withdrawing them Would like to minimize high yearly taxes on your investment income Plan to save your annuity assets until you re at least 59 1 2 Before investing, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the annuity and its investment options. Call Fidelity or visit Fidelity.com for a free prospectus and, if available, summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully. Investing in a variable annuity involves risk of loss investment returns and contract value are not guaranteed and will fl uctuate. * In New York, Personal Retirement Annuity. 1 Withdrawals of taxable amounts from an annuity are subject to ordinary income tax, and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.

Understanding tax-deferred variable annuities. A tax-deferred variable annuity can help you grow your assets on a tax-deferred basis, and it can be a valuable strategy for saving and growing your after-tax dollars earmarked for retirement. Since you don t pay taxes on any investment gains from your annuity until you withdraw your money, it can be a tax-efficient approach to investing. This type of annuity may appeal to you if you want more investment control and can tolerate more fluctuation in your annuity s values. With a deferred variable annuity, earnings are tied to the performance of the investment options you choose. The investment options for a variable annuity are typically funds that invest in stocks, bonds, money market instruments, or some combination of the three. Additionally, you can make exchanges from one investment option to another without paying taxes at the time of the trade. When you take your money out of a variable annuity, however, you will be taxed on any earnings at ordinary income tax rates. At retirement, a tax-deferred variable annuity offers the option of creating a stream of income from the savings you ve accumulated. With a variable annuity, you have the option of receiving periodic payments for the rest of your life.

Tax-deferred annuities may help make your portfolio more tax efficient. If you have significant assets in taxable accounts, or you are subject to high income tax rates, there s a good chance you could benefit from owning a tax-deferred variable annuity such as the Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity. Unlike taxable accounts, a tax-deferred variable annuity doesn t distribute taxable earnings each year. This means that any earnings are reinvested and have the potential to grow tax deferred providing the capability for your assets to grow faster than they would in a taxable investment earning the same rate of return. Unlike mutual funds, however, annuities do have additional fees that will impact returns. Generally speaking, the more situations below that apply to you, the more likely it is that you could benefit from allocating certain assets to a tax-deferred annuity. Have you maximized your other taxadvantaged investment options? Funding employer-sponsored plans, IRAs, and similar accounts is generally recommended prior to deferred variable annuities. Do you have significant assets held in taxable accounts? If you have significant assets in taxable accounts, or are likely to see sizable increases in your taxable accounts, you may benefit from tax deferral. Do you have allocations in assets that are not tax efficient? Research shows that investors who have assets that are not tax efficient may benefit greatly from a low-cost, tax-deferred annuity. Assets that are not tax efficient are those in which your returns are heavily taxed. Are you currently subject to high income tax rates? Generally speaking, the higher your income tax rate, the more likely you will benefit from the advantage of tax deferral offered by a tax-deferred investment like the Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity. If you fall into one of the top two tax brackets currently 33% and 35% you may fit this description. Do you expect lower income taxes in retirement? There are several reasons why you may see lower income taxes in retirement, including: You move to a state with lower tax rates than your current state. You anticipate less ordinary income than in previous years. If either of these situations applies to you, then you may want to consider the Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity. Are you 10 years from taking income in retirement? The advantage of tax deferral is dependent on the amount of time available before the assets are withdrawn from your deferred account. If you have at least 10 years remaining before needing a portion of your income in retirement, you may be a good candidate for the Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity.

Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity allows you to save even more. Maximize savings with no IRS contribution limits. In addition to the advantages of tax-deferred investing, a key benefit of the Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity is that contributions are not limited by the IRS. 2 While your 401(k) plans and IRAs have maximum annual contribution limits, with this deferred variable annuity your savings potential is virtually unlimited. The Power of No IRS Contribution Limits There s virtually no limit on how much you can contribute compared with other retirement accounts.* $100K $80K $60K $40K $20K NO IRS CONTRIBUTION LIMIT Fidelity s investment solutions let you invest in the way that s best for you. Whatever your retirement goals, Fidelity has investment options to help suit your needs. Depending on your preference and the amount of time you have to monitor and manage your annuity assets you can decide how you want to manage your portfolio, including: Allowing Fidelity to actively manage your asset allocation for you with the Fidelity VIP FundsManager Portfolios 3 and Fidelity Asset Allocation Portfolios. Selecting a portfolio based on your retirement date and letting Fidelity 4 investment professionals do the rest with the Fidelity VIP Investor Freedom Fund Portfolios. 3 Managing your own asset allocation with a wide range of investment options. Maximum IRA & 401(k) Contributions Fidelity Annuity * The 2012 contribution limit for a 401(k) is $17,000, 401(k) catch-up contribution is $5,500, IRA is $5,000, and IRA catch-up contribution is $1,000. Note that in certain cases, other requirements may apply in order to be eligible to contribute up to these limits. 2 Fidelity reserves the right to limit contributions. 3 If you choose to invest in Fidelity VIP Investor Freedom Fund Portfolios or Fidelity VIP FundsManager Portfolios, please note that performance for the Fidelity VIP Investor Freedom Fund Portfolios depends on that of their underlying Fidelity VIP funds, and, for Fidelity VIP FundsManager Portfolios, their underlying Fidelity or Fidelity VIP funds. These portfolios are subject to the volatility of the fi nancial markets in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to the additional risk associated with investing in high-yield, commodity-linked, small-cap, and foreign securities. Fidelity VIP Investor Freedom Fund Portfolios and Fidelity VIP FundsManager Portfolios are managed by Strategic Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of FMR LLC. As with all funds available in Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity, the principal value of the VIP Investor Freedom Funds is not guaranteed at any time, including at their target dates. 4 Fidelity refers to Strategic Advisers, Inc. Withdrawals of taxable amounts from an annuity are subject to ordinary income tax, and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.

Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity costs less so you can save more. One of the lowest-cost annuities in the industry. The Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity can help you grow your savings by keeping fees low. With an annual annuity charge of 0.25% (0.10% for contracts purchased with an initial investment of $1 million or more), significantly lower than the industry average of 1.34%, more of your savings remain in your annuity with the potential to grow. One way we keep our costs low is by making our annuity simple. And that means more of your money goes to work for its real purpose helping you reach your investment goals. As demonstrated in the chart, the longer you save, the greater the impact a low-cost annuity can have. Hypothetical Example: Impact of Lower Charges on Account Value Hypothetical example based on a 7% annual rate of return. $800,000 $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 $191,852 $171,194 $97,528 Savings after 10 years: $20,658 $706,156 $87,026 $92,766 $501,722 $65,910 Savings after 30 years: $204,434 Low-cost tax-deferred variable account value (0.25% annual annuity charge) Industry average tax-deferred variable annuity account value (1.38% annual annuity charge) Account value at a 0% rate of return The chart above assumes a $100,000 investment. These projections are based on a hypothetical 7% rate of return less a 0.25% low-cost annual annuity charge, and a 7% rate of return less a 1.34% industry average annual annuity charge, according to Morningstar, Inc., as of 12/31/2011. This hypothetical chart is not intended to predict or project investment results. Your actual rate of return may be higher or lower than that shown in the chart above. Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity does not have a guaranteed minimum death benefi t whereas the industry average annuity may. According to Morningstar, Inc., Fidelity Personal Retirement Annuity s annual annuity charge of 0.25% is among the lowest compared to the industry average of 1.34% for nongroup open variable annuity contracts as of 12/31/2011. Contracts purchased with an initial purchase payment of $1 million or more will qualify for a reduced annual annuity charge of 0.10% (the initial purchase payment is the amount applied to the contract on the contract date). Underlying fund expenses also apply.
