Investment Summary
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

FREEDOM 2040 FUND seeks high total return.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic AdvisersSM)'s principal investment
strategies include:

(small solid bullet) Investing in a combination of Fidelity equity,
fixed-income and money market funds using a moderate asset allocation
strategy designed for investors expecting to retire around the year
2040.

(small solid bullet) Allocating assets among these underlying Fidelity
funds according to an asset allocation strategy that becomes
increasingly conservative until it reaches 20% in domestic equity
funds, 40% in investment-grade fixed-income funds and 40% in money
market funds (approximately five to ten years after the year 2040).

(small solid bullet) Using a target asset allocation as of August __,
2000 of approximately:

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

(small solid bullet) STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY. Stock markets are
volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer,
political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Different
parts of the market can react differently to these developments.

(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign markets, particularly
emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to
increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or
economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S.
market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic,
regulatory and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION IN EUROPE. Both
developed and emerging market countries in Europe will be
significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls
required to join the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The
markets in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped and can be
particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.

(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION IN JAPAN. The Japanese
economy is currently in a recession. International trade and
government policy can significantly affect economic growth.

(small solid bullet)  Most Southeast Asian economies are generally
considered emerging markets and are currently in recessions.
International trade, government policy and political and social
stability can significantly affect economic growth. The markets in
Southeast Asia can be extremely volatile.

(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from
the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller
issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade
quality) can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse
issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments and can
be difficult to resell.

(small solid bullet) "GROWTH" INVESTING. "Growth" stocks can perform
differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and
can be more volatile than other types of stocks.

(small solid bullet) "VALUE" INVESTING. "Value" stocks can perform
differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and
can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

(small solid bullet) QUANTITATIVE INVESTING. Securities selected using
quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a
whole as a result of the factors used in the analysis, the weight
placed on each factor, and changes in the factors' historical trends.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

Performance

Performance history will be available for the fund after the fund has
been in operation for one calendar year.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred
when you buy, hold, or sell shares of Freedom 2040. [The annual fund
operating expenses provided below for Freedom 2040 are based on
historical expenses, adjusted to reflect current fees.] [The annual
fund operating expenses provided below for Freedom 2040 do not reflect
the effect of any expense reimbursements] [[or] reduction of certain
expenses during the period.] [The annual fund operating expenses
provided below for Freedom 2040 are based on historical expenses.] The
annual fund operating expenses provided below for Freedom 2040 are
based on estimated expenses.

SHAREHOLDER FEES (PAID BY THE INVESTOR DIRECTLY)

Sales charge (load) on        None
purchases and reinvested
distributions

Deferred sales charge (load)  None
on redemptions

Annual account maintenance    $12.00
fee (for accounts under
$2,500)

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (PAID FROM FUND ASSETS)

Management fee               %

Distribution and Service     None
(12b-1) fee

Other expenses               %

Total annual fund operating  %
expenses A

A EFFECTIVE AUGUST __, 2000 STRATEGIC ADVISERS HAS VOLUNTARILY AGREED
TO REIMBURSE THE FUND TO THE EXTENT THAT TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
(EXCLUDING INTEREST, TAXES, BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS AND EXTRAORDINARY
EXPENSES) EXCEED __% OF ITS AVERAGE NET ASSETS. THIS ARRANGEMENT CAN
BE DISCONTINUED BY STRATEGIC ADVISERS AT ANY TIME.

[[T/t]hrough arrangements with the fund's [custodian] [and] [transfer
agent], credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are
used to reduce fund expenses. Including [this/these] reduction[s], the
total fund operating expenses [, after reimbursement, would have been
__%.]

Freedom 2040 will not incur any sales charges, but it may incur
exchange fees or redemption fees (trading fees), if applicable, when
it invests in underlying Fidelity funds.

In addition to the total operating expenses shown above,  Freedom
2040, as a shareholder in an underlying Fidelity fund, will indirectly
bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the
underlying Fidelity fund, and the Freedom 2040's investment return
will be net of underlying Fidelity fund expenses.

The combined total expense ratio of Freedom 2040 (calculated as a
percentage of average net assets) is estimated to be __%. Freedom
2040's estimated combined total expense ratio is based on its
estimated total operating expense ratio plus a weighted average of the
total operating expense ratios, [after [expense reimbursement] [and]
[expense reduction[s]],] of the underlying Fidelity funds in which it
would have been invested (for each underlying Fidelity fund's most
recently reported fiscal-year) as of August __, 2000. The combined
total expense ratio for Freedom 2040 may be higher or lower depending
on the allocation of the fund's assets among the underlying Fidelity
funds and the actual expenses of the underlying Fidelity funds.

This EXAMPLE helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5%, that
your shareholder fees are exactly as described in the fee table, and
that the fund's combined total expense ratio includes the fund's
annual operating expenses exactly as described in the fee table and
the weighted average of the total operating expenses of each of the
underlying Fidelity funds [, before [expense reimbursement] [and]
[expense reduction[s]]]. This example illustrates the effect of fees
and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and
expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you
invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you close
your account at the end of each time period indicated:

1 year   $

3 years  $
