Tax-smart investment¹

1. Tax-smart (i.e., tax-sensitive) investing techniques (including tax-loss harvesting) are applied in managing certain taxable accounts on a limited basis, at the discretion of the portfolio manager primarily with respect to determining when assets in a client's account should be bought or sold. As the discretionary portfolio manager, Strategic Advisers LLC ("Strategic Advisers") may elect to sell assets in an account at any time. A client may have a gain or loss when assets are sold. There are no guarantees as to the effectiveness of the tax-smart investing techniques applied in serving to reduce or minimize a client's overall tax liabilities, or as to the tax results that may be generated by a given transaction. Strategic Advisers does not currently invest in tax-deferred products, such as variable insurance products, or in tax-managed funds, but may do so in the future if it deems such to be appropriate for a client. Strategic Advisers does not actively manage for alternative minimum taxes; state or local taxes; foreign taxes on non-U.S. investments; federal tax rules applicable to entities; or estate, gift, or generation-skipping transfer taxes. Strategic Advisers relies on information provided by clients in an effort to provide tax-sensitive investment management and does not offer tax advice. Except where Fidelity Personal Trust Company (FPTC) is serving as trustee, clients are responsible for all tax liabilities arising from transactions in their accounts, for the adequacy and accuracy of any positions taken on tax returns, for the actual filing of tax returns, and for the remittance of tax payments to taxing authorities.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This chart is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual or future performance of any investment option. Stocks after taxes assumes that the stocks purchased were held for five years, then sold, and the capital gains realized. The net proceeds from the sale were invested. Dividends were taxed when earned and reinvested. Bonds were turned over 28 times within the 96-year period. Capital gains were realized at the time of sale and reinvested. Government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government as to the timely payment of principal and interest, while stocks are not guaranteed and have been more volatile than other asset classes.

Market indexes are included for informational purposes and for context with respect to market conditions. All indexes are unmanaged, and performance of the indexes includes reinvestment of dividends and interest income, unless otherwise noted. Securities indices are not subject to fees and expenses typically associated with managed accounts or investment funds. Review the definitions of indexes for more information. Please note an investor cannot invest directly into an index.

Federal income tax is calculated using historical marginal and capital gains tax rates for a single taxpayer earning $120,000 in 2015 dollars every year. This annual income is adjusted using the Consumer Price Index in order to obtain the corresponding income level for each year. Income is taxed at the appropriate federal income tax rate as it occurs. When realized, capital gains are calculated assuming the appropriate capital gains rates. The holding period for capital gains tax calculation is assumed to be five years for stocks, while government bonds are held until replaced in the index. No state income taxes are included.

Stocks are represented by the Ibbotson^® Large Company Stock Index. Government bonds represented by the 20-year U.S. government bond, cash by the 30-day U.S. Treasury bill, and inflation by the Consumer Price Index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. The data assumes reinvestment of income and does not account for transaction costs.

2. For a list of eligible investments, see our Program Fundamentals or contact a Fidelity representative. Clients may elect to transfer noneligible securities into their accounts. Should they do so, Strategic Advisers or its designee will liquidate those securities as soon as reasonably practicable, and clients acknowledge that transferring such securities into their accounts acts as a direction to Strategic Advisers to sell any such securities. Clients may realize a taxable gain or loss when these shares are sold, which may affect the after-tax performance/return within their accounts, and Strategic Advisers does not consider the potential tax consequences of these sales when following a client's deemed direction to see such securities. Strategic Advisers reserves the right not to accept otherwise eligible securities, at its sole discretion.

3. While Strategic Advisers does consider the potential tax consequences of the sale of eligible securities used to fund an account managed with tax-smart investing techniques, Strategic Advisers believes that appropriate asset allocation and diversification are of primary importance and applies tax-smart investing techniques as a secondary consideration in managing such accounts. Accordingly, clients who fund an account managed with tax-smart investing techniques with appreciated securities should understand that Strategic Advisers could sell such securities notwithstanding that the sale could trigger significant tax consequences.
