AThe fund is available only to certain fee-based accounts and advisory programs offered by Fidelity. Advisory account clients, retirement plans, plan sponsors and/or plan participants typically pay an advisory fee that generally covers investment advisory and administrative services.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. 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. This example does not include any fees paid at the fee-based account or plan level. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 62% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in U.S. dollar-denominated municipal money market securities and high quality investment-grade municipal debt securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax.
Municipal debt securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, financing for eligible non-profit organizations, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal debt securities in which the fund invests include securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions, general obligation bonds of municipalities, local or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or pre-refunded or escrowed bonds, municipal money market securities, and synthetic securities. Municipal securities usually pay a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security.
Municipal money market securities are high-quality, short-term debt securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate, and include variable rate demand notes, commercial paper, and municipal notes. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, financing for eligible non-profit organizations, or financing for a specific project or public facility.
High quality investment grade securities in which the fund invests include securities or issuers (i) rated at least A- or its equivalent by at least one nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO) or similarly rated by the Adviser, and (ii) for securities with a credit maturity within one year, rated at least BBB or its equivalent by all NRSROs that rate the security and similarly rated by the Adviser.
Derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to the investments above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the fund's 80% policy, consistent with the fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the supplemental index (see "Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus).
  • Normally maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity of one year or less.
  • Normally investing in securities with a maximum maturity of four years.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Municipal Market Volatility.
The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
  • Interest Rate Changes.
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market security to decrease.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support (such as guarantees) or a maturity-shortening structure (such as demand and put features) for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
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. You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Unlike individual debt securities, which typically pay principal at maturity, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate.

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund.
The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index, a hypothetical composite of market indexes, and an additional index over various periods of time.
