ABA Number
A bank routing number, or ABA number, is the unique transit routing number that identifies a specific bank or institution. The transit routing number is used to wire mutual fund redemptions to a bank account.
Accepted Awards
The number of accepted restricted stock awards.
Accepted Grants
The number of accepted grants.
Accepted Rights
This field refers to Stock Appreciation Rights that the participant has accepted.
Account
A Fidelity account or annuity you hold. The account is identified either by your account number or the number Fidelity has
assigned along with the name you assigned (if any).
Account Closeout Fee
A fee that may be imposed on your account by Fidelity to cover the administrative costs of closing it out.
Account Equity Percentage
The account equity, as a percentage of the total market value of positions in your account. The total market value is calculated by using the real-time absolute market value of all sellable security types in your account including cash, margin, and short positions, as well as options market value. It also includes options requirements and the exercisable value of cash covered puts while excluding your core account. The total account value is divided by the total market value to calculate your Account Equity Percentage.
Account Groups
Any grouping of accounts for the purpose of executing performance reporting as a combined pool of assets and investment activity.
Account Level Performance
Reflects the return of your investments within an account for a given period of time. Fidelity tracks account level performance back to 1/1/2007. For new accounts, individual account level performance tracking will start as soon as the account is funded. Calculations are performed on a month-end basis.
Account Level Performance (Portfolio Advisory Service ProgramSM accounts)
Reflects the return of your portfolio for a given period of time. Portfolio Advisory ServicesSM began tracking account level performance to Fidelity Portfolio Advisory ServiceSM Program accounts on 1/1/2000. For Fidelity Private Portfolio ServiceSM, we began tracking account level performance on 1/1/1998. For new accounts, individual account level performance tracking will start at the beginning of the next calendar quarter, after the opening of your account. Reporting occurs at the end of each calendar quarter.
Account Name
The name you give to a Fidelity account or annuity. For example, you could name a retirement account 401(k) Rollover Account.
Account Number
A Fidelity-assigned number used to identify a specific account, or the number of a bank account you use with the Fidelity Electronic Funds Transfer service to transfer cash between your Fidelity account and the bank account.
Account Selector
This field displays the current account. You can select another account from the drop-down list in this field.

Accrued Cash Dividend
The total cash amount accrued for a given vesting period.
Accrued Interest
The interest received from a security's last interest payment date up to the current date or date of valuation. An investor who sells a security with accrued interest will not receive that interest until the next interest payment date after the sale. The buyer receives all interest from the last payment date, including any interest that accrued while the bond was owned by the prior investor. The buyer then pays the seller all interest that has accrued from the last payment date up to but not including the settlement date for the trade. In a bond ladder's summary calculations, the accrued interest field refers to the sum of all accrued interest from the securities in the ladder that will need to be paid if the ladder is purchased on that day.
Achieved Pending Payment Value
The total value of the number of shares/units and dividends (if applicable) pending payment you have achieved times the price at the close of the previous business day
Acquisition Premium
When fixed income securities issued with original issue discount (OID) are purchased at a premium over the adjusted issue price (plus any accreted OID income), the premium, called an acquisition premium, must be amortized and reflected in the calculation of the adjusted cost basis. This amortization will impact the taxable income you will recognize each year. Fidelity calculates acquisition premium amortization (and makes corresponding adjustments to adjusted cost basis it provides) on the assumption that you elected to use the ratable accrual method in which OID income is reduced by the pro-rata portion of the acquisition premium attributable to each year's OID earned. If you elected an alternative amortization calculation method, the acquisition premium amount Fidelity calculates may not be applicable. The acquisition premium amounts and adjusted cost basis Fidelity provides may not reflect all adjustments for tax reporting purposes. Review prior calculations and adjustments you have made and consult your tax advisor and IRS Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses, for additional information.
Acquisition Price/Share
The actual dollar price you paid per share, inclusive of
costs associated with purchases (such as brokerage commissions) and exclusive of any of the adjustments (
e.g., wash sale or corporate actions such as mergers).
Across Offerings
This is an option on the Search Secondary Market
Offerings screen. This option allows you to search for and view a list of secondary market fixed-income securities (e.g., bonds)
offered through Fidelity that match criteria you specify. You can select one or more of the following and
view offerings for more than one type of security after performing a single search:
Action
The type of order for a trade. Available actions vary according to security
type and account type. For example, some of the actions available for a stock trade
in an authorized brokerage account are Buy, Sell, Buy to Cover, or Sell
Short, while the actions available for a mutual fund trade in a brokerage
account are Buy a Mutual Fund, Sell a Mutual Fund, and Sell a Mutual Fund and use the proceeds to buy another mutual fund. For bond trading, the actions available are Buy, Sell, and Hold.
Active
This is an annuity status that
indicates a variable deferred annuity is past the free
look period or extended
free look period and is currently in the accumulation
phase, the phase during which you are attempting to build
retirement savings.
Active - Deposit to Fidelity Only
For Fidelity
Electronic Funds Transfer, this is a bank status. This status indicates
that you currently can only use Electronic Funds Transfer to transfer from
your bank account to make a deposit to your Fidelity account.
However, you can immediately use the deposited money to buy
stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
Generally, after 7-10 business days you can use Electronic Funds Transfer to request transfers to deposit to and withdraw from your Fidelity brokerage non-retirement account via Fidelity.com.
Active - Deposit/Withdrawal
For Fidelity
Electronic Funds Transfer, this is a bank status that indicates the
routing information for a bank has been verified and the bank
can be selected for use when transferring money to deposit to
or withdraw from your Fidelity account using Electronic Funds Transfer.
Active Trader Services
Certain benefits designed specifically
for investors who make at least 36 stock, bond, or options
trades across their Fidelity AccountsSM in a rolling 12-month
period.
Activity Assessment Fee
The fee the self-regulatory organizations must pay to the SEC. This fee is collected by brokerage firms on sale transactions in equity securities
and forwarded to the SROs, and ultimately the government, as required by current regulation.
Actual/360
An interest formula used for municipal, corporate and agency bonds, which uses the actual number of days from the last coupon date and a 360 day year to calculate the dollar amount of interest payments owed to an investor.
Actual/Actual
An interest formula used for U.S. Government notes and bonds which uses the actual number of days from the last coupon date and a 365-day year to calculate the dollar amount of interest payments owed to an investor.
Additional Federal Tax
When estimating the gain for a stock appreciation rights grant, the dollar amount that you would like to have withheld from the grant for federal tax purposes, in addition to the amount determined by the withholding tax rate.
Additional Federal Tax Withholding Amount

of the company about which you are viewing
information.
Adjusted Dividend Quantity
The number of dividends received after applying the achieved performance percentage.
Adjusted Options
Option contract that has been adjusted or changed from its original terms due to a corporate action, special dividend, or other occurrence impacting the underlying security
Adjusted Price / Inflation Adjusted Price
In the context of inflation protected bonds such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), the Adjusted Price is the price that will be used to assess the net money (the total dollar amount) of the trade. It is calculated by multiplying the Inflation Factor by the trader's quoted prices.
Because the inflation protection of a TIPS is delivered through changes to a bond's principal, the investor is essentially paying for the cumulative inflation impact from the original issue date up until the point of purchase.
Adjusted Share/Unit Quantity
The number of shares/units received after applying the achieved performance percentage.
Adjustment
Correction to or change in the outstanding contribution balance.
A/D Line
The Advance/Decline (A/D) Line is
the most widely used indicator measuring market breadth. It
represents a cumulative total of the number of stocks
advancing vs. the number of stocks declining. When the A/D
Line rises it means that more stocks are rising than declining
(and vice versa).
In our online price charts, the A/D Line is calculated for all markets and the appropriate market indicator is automatically selected for your focus security.
For example, if you are analyzing a chart on IBM which trades on the NYSE, and you choose the A/D Line, the system will automatically apply the A/D Line for the NYSE.
A/D Line (breadth)
The breadth Advance/Decline (A/D)
Indicator is the number of advancing issues divided by the
total number of both advancing and declining issues.
Readings above 0.5 are considered "Bullish" while readings below 0.5 are considered "Bearish."
A/D Line (Daily)
The non-cumulative Advance/Decline (A/D)
Daily Line is calculated by subtracting the number of
declining issues from the number of advancing issues and then
dividing that figure by the total number of issues
traded.
(Advancing issues - Declining issues)/(Total number of issues traded)
Generally, values above 0.25 are considered "Bullish" while values below -0.25 are considered "Bearish."
Advisor Directed brokerage Account
An institutional brokerage account you opened with Fidelity through a Registered Investment Advisor that is being actively managed by your Advisor.

4 and 8 p.m., Fidelity transmits orders to the ECN and the transmitted orders
are available for immediate display and execution according to the time received
and the specified limit price.
Agency/GSE
Agency bonds are issued by official U.S. government bodies (e.g., Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Government sponsored entity (GSE) bonds are offered by lenders created by an act of Congress to assist groups of borrowers (e.g., farmers, ranchers, homeowners, mortgage lenders, etc.).
The principal and interest of GSE bonds are not guaranteed by the U.S. government. Agency and GSE bonds are generally available in minimum denominations of $10,000, with subsequent investments in increments of $5,000.
Fidelity makes these securities available in minimum denominations of $1,000, and subsequent investment increments of $1,000.
Agency/GSE New Issues
New
issue Agency and Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE)
bonds are typically sold for the issuer
through a broker-dealer, such as Fidelity, on an as needed
basis and usually at face
value. Broker-dealers purchase large blocks of bonds, then
make the securities available to other institutions and
individuals.
Since these securities are new issues, coupon interest has not accrued.
Agency and GSE bonds vary in their order minimums and increments. Although most may have a minimum order quantity of 1 bond, others have minimum purchase sizes of 5 or 10 bonds for minimum investment amounts of $5,000 or $10,000 respectively. Please check the Bond Details page of the issue you are considering when placing orders for New Issue Agencies.
Agency bonds are issued by official U.S. government bodies (e.g., Government National Mortgage Association, Ginnie-Mae).
GSE bonds are offered by lenders created by an act of Congress to assist groups of borrowers (e.g., farmers, ranchers, homeowners, mortgage lenders, etc).

This is an option on the Transfer
Shares screen that enables you to transfer all of the shares
eligible for transfer in the selected eligible
position.
If you do not select this option to transfer all shares, you must select Number of Shares and then enter the number of eligible shares to transfer.
All Stock Long-Term Asset Allocation
Our most growth-oriented benchmark tracks U.S. equities with the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index (70%) and Asian and Australian equities with the MSCI EAFE (30%) indexes.
Alpha
A risk-adjusted performance
measure. A positive (negative) alpha indicates stronger
(poorer) fund performance than predicted by the fund's level
of risk (measured by beta). Alpha and beta are more reliable
measures when used in combination with a high R2 which
indicates a high correlation between the movements in a fund's
returns and movements in a benchmark index. Alpha is
annualized.
Alternative Minimum Tax, Federal (AMT)
The federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) was designed to ensure that at
least a minimum amount of income taxes are paid by taxpayers who reap
large tax savings by using certain tax deductions, exclusions and credits.
It is owed only if and to the extent it exceeds a taxpayer's regular federal income taxes. The federal AMT system uses its own forms, rules, rates and brackets (e.g., interest earned on certain private activity municipal bonds should be taxable under the AMT rules). Also note that some states also have their own state alternative minimum tax in addition to their regular state income tax.
Users may search for municipal bonds (in the Municipal Bond Search and as part of the Bond Ladder criteria) that are expected to generate interest income exempt from the federal AMT.
Amortized Premium
Premium generally arises when a fixed income security is purchased for an amount greater than the total of all amounts payable on the bond other than qualified stated interest. According to federal tax rules, if you acquired your fixed income security at a premium and make the required elections when you file your return, the premium is amortized annually using the constant yield method (also called the yield to maturity method) with semi-annual compounding. If you did not make the required elections, your gain or loss is the difference between your purchase price (as adjusted for wash sales and other required adjustments, if any) and your proceeds at disposition, making no premium adjustments. These rules apply to securities issued at par and to OID securities acquired on the secondary market at price greater than their maturity value. Fidelity calculates amortized premium (and makes corresponding adjustments to the cost basis it provides) using the yield-to-maturity method. For tax-exempt securities, amortization of premium is required and is not deductible from taxable income. For taxable bonds, a tax election may be required in order to amortize premium, and the current year's amortized premium may be deductible from taxable income. The amortized premium amounts and adjusted cost basis Fidelity provides may not reflect all adjustments necessary for tax reporting purposes. It may not be applicable if you have not made an appropriate tax election or if you are using an alternative amortization calculation method. Review prior adjustments that you have made, and consult your tax advisor and IRS Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses, for additional information.

It is calculated based upon the most recent actual dividend:
Year end and special dividends are excluded.
Annualized Rate of Return
Annualized Return shows how much your investments grew or declined -- on average -- each year of a multi-year period. For example, if a $100 investment returned 10% the first year and 10% the second year, its annualized return would be the average of the gains for both years -- 10% -- even though the total return over the entire time period would be 21%, as illustrated below:

In the context of selecting options strategies, these are covered calls and diagonal spreads identified in the Argus Options Reports that relate to underlying stocks in the Argus Focus List, a list of 30 names that is updated monthly and includes equities that Argus believes are relatively attractive for diversified investors.
Argus Rating
This Buy/Hold/Sell rating is an opinion of the total return potential for a given stock, with Buy-rated stocks expected to outperform the broader market over the next 12 months, while Hold-rated stocks are expected to perform in-line with the broader market.
Argus Risk Ranking
A proprietary relative risk ranking from Argus that ranks option trades from 1 Key (High Relative Risk) to 5 Keys (Lower Relative Risk). For covered calls, this ranking system uses a number of technical and fundamental indicators including stock beta, implied volatility, assigned return percent, percent out-of-the-money, Argus ratings and moving averages to assess the relative risk on each trade. For diagonals, the ranking system uses indicators including volatility, percent out-of-the-money and the Argus rating to assess the risk for a trade. Diagonal spread trades will typically show a lower Key risk ranking and higher potential return than covered call trades on the same stock. Details of specific Argus ratings can be found in the glossary of any Argus Options Report PDF.
Arms Index (TRIN)
The Arms Index shows the relationship
between stocks that are advancing or declining in price and
the volume associated with these stocks. It is calculated by
dividing the Advance/Decline Ratio by the Upside/Downside
Ratio.
The Arms Index is a short-term trading tool. The goal of the indicator is to determine if volume is flowing into advancing or declining stocks and by what magnitude. The Arms Index was first published by Richard W. Arms, Jr. in 1967.
Typically, the Arms Index is interpreted as "Bullish" when it is below 1.0 and "Bearish" when it is above 1.0.

Asset Allocation
Asset Allocation is the diversification
of investments across categories of assets (asset classes)
such as short-term
investments, stocks and bonds, as well as other assets
including real estate, precious metals, and
collectibles.
Different asset classes tend to offer different return and risk tradeoffs. Generally the greater the stock allocation, the greater the potential for long-term returns and the greater the risk of volatility and losses, especially over the short term.
In your Retirement Income Portfolio, asset allocation is the allocation of your retirement assets among different classes of investments, including equities, bonds, short term, unknown, and other. Classes of holdings, including underlying holdings of mutual funds and deferred annuities, is based on information from independent providers of financial information including Morningstar, Inc.
Asset Allocation Holdings Detail
Asset Allocation is the diversification
of investments across categories of assets (asset classes)
such as short-term
investments, stocks and bonds, as well as other assets
including real estate, precious metals, and
collectibles.
Different asset classes tend to offer different return and risk tradeoffs. Generally the greater the stock allocation, the greater the potential for long-term returns and the greater the risk of volatility and losses, especially over the short term.
In a portfolio or account analysis, the Holdings Detail screen shows the dollar amount of securities by asset class in your portfolio or one or more selected accounts. The dollar amounts also include underlying securities in mutual funds that are held in stocks, bonds, and short-term investments as well as two additional categories, other and unknown.
All dollar amounts are as of the date and time shown on the Control Panel.
Asset Class
A type of investment, such as, stocks, bonds, and short-term
investments.
In a portfolio or account Asset Allocation analysis, there are two additional asset classes, unknown and other.
Asset classes can be further divided into sub-categories or sub-asset classes. For example, stocks can be categorized as domestic or foreign, value or growth or blend, and small cap, mid cap or large cap. Bond investments can be categorized into tax-advantaged municipal and taxable bonds.
Asset Withdrawal
The process of drawing on your Retirement Income Portfolio to fund your retirement. Asset withdrawal is calculated by subtracting your spending from your non-investment income. A positive number represents a surplus rather than a withdrawal.
Asset Withdrawal Rate
This rate is calculated by annualizing (multiplying by 12) your average asset withdrawal for the past 12 months and dividing that number by your Retirement Income Portfolio's ending value for the current period.
Assigned Return Rate
The potential return from selling an option if the stock price is in the exercisable range. In the case of a covered call, this return would include the premium from the sold option and any profit/loss on the covering stock position and assumes the stock price is higher than the strike price. This calculation does not include margin and is not annualized.
In the case of a calendar spread, this is the percentage return for the position if the short term option is In The Money at expiration and the longer term option is exercised to cover the trade.

Average Annual Total Return
Average annual total return is a
hypothetical rate of return that, if achieved annually, would
have produced the same cumulative total return if performance
had been constant over the entire period. Average annual total
returns smooth out variation in performance; they are not the
same as actual year-by-year results.
Average Cost
