Investing in companies that Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) believes have above-average growth potential (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks). Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments. Effective December 11, 2025, normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of growth companies. Growth companies are companies the Adviser believes have above average growth potential. The Adviser considers a number of factors in determining a company's growth potential, such as whether the company is included in a third-party growth benchmark or classified as a growth company by a third-party vendor, if the company's projected earnings per share growth, sales growth per share or free cash flow growth or its trailing earnings per share growth is above the equity market median, if the company's research and development expenses exceed sales, general and administrative expenses, or if the company is raising capital to grow, fund or expand its business. A company's growth potential can be determined under any of these factors. 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.
