Fidelity has prepared the information available on this page for, and only intends to provide it to, qualified investors. Do not distribute or reproduce this information.
As with all your investments through Fidelity, and in connection with your evaluation of the security, you must make your own determination whether an investment in any particular security or securities is consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Fidelity is not recommending or endorsing this investment by making it available to its customers.
Alternative investments are investment products other than the traditional investments of stocks, bond, mutual funds, or ETFs. Examples of alternative investments are limited partnerships, limited liability companies, hedge funds, private equity, private debt, commodities, real estate, and promissory notes. Each customer is responsible for reviewing the terms of all offering, disclosure documents and agreements associated with any Alternative Investment and determining the appropriateness of any Alternative Investment chosen. Some of the risks associated with alternative investments are:
- Alternative investments may be relatively illiquid, and there is no guarantee on the timing or amount of any dividends or distributions.
- It may be difficult to determine the current market value of the asset.
- There may be limited historical risk and return data.
- A high degree of investment analysis may be required before buying.
- Costs of purchase and sale may be relatively high.
Investments in Private Market Alternatives are speculative, may involve a high degree of risk and volatility, and are suitable only for those investors willing to risk losing some or all of their principal investment and who have the experience and ability to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in the program. Such investments will generally not be freely redeemable, transferable, listed on any exchange and it is not anticipated that they will be tradable.

RISK FACTORS
Investors should review the offering documents, including the description of risk factors contained in the Fund's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (the "Memorandum"), prior making a decision to invest in the securities described herein. An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for those investors willing to risk losing some or all of their principal investment and who have the experience and ability to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in the Fund. The Memorandum will include more complete descriptions of the risks described below as well as additional risks relating to, among other things, foreign exposure, conflicts of interest and regulatory and tax matters. Any decision to invest in the securities described herein should be made after reviewing such Memorandum, conducting such investigations as the investor deems necessary and consulting the investor’s own legal, accounting and tax advisors in order to make an independent determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Accredited Investor and Qualified Purchaser Status. Each Limited Partner must represent in writing, among other things, that such Limited Partner is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and a “qualified purchaser” as that term is defined in Section 2(A)(51) of the 1940 Act or a “knowledgeable employee” as that term is defined in Rule 3c-5(A)(4)(I) of the 1940 Act.
Investment Risk. An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the Limited Partner's entire investment may be lost. The Fund’s performance depends upon the Adviser’s selection of underlying funds and direct investments in operating companies, the allocation of offering proceeds thereto, and the performance of the Investment Funds, direct investments, and other assets. The Investment Funds’ investment activities and investments in operating companies involve the risks associated with private equity investments generally.
Unexpected volatility or lack of liquidity could impair the Fund’s performance and result in its suffering losses.
General Private Equity Risks. The Fund is subject to those risks that are inherent in private equity investments. These risks are generally related to: (i) the ability of each underlying fund to select and manage successful investment opportunities; (ii) the quality of the management of each company in which an Investment Fund invests; (iii) the ability of an underlying fund to liquidate its investments; and (iv) general economic conditions. Securities of private equity funds, as well as the portfolio companies these funds invest in, tend to be more illiquid, and highly speculative.
General Risks of Secondary Investments. There is no established market for secondaries and the Adviser does not currently expect a liquid market to develop. In many cases, the Fund will not have the opportunity to negotiate the terms of its secondaries, including any special rights or privileges. Moreover, the purchase price of secondaries will be subject to negotiation with the sellers of such interests. It is possible that competition for appropriate investment opportunities may increase, thus reducing the number and attractiveness of investment opportunities available to the Fund and adversely affecting the terms upon which investments can be made availability of Suitable Investments. The pursuit of the Fund’s investment strategy involves uncertainty. There can be no assurance that the Investment Manager will be able to locate and complete suitable investments that satisfy the Fund’s objectives and that the Investment Manager believes will provide performance commensurate with the Fund’s targets.
Availability of Suitable Investments. The pursuit of the Fund’s investment strategy is highly competitive and involves a high degree of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that the Investment Manager will be able to locate and complete suitable investments that satisfy the Fund’s objectives and that the Investment Manager believes will provide performance commensurate with the Fund’s targets.
Lack of Liquidity. The Fund will not be listed for trading on any exchange or be transferable without the consent of the General Partner. A Limited Partner’s participation in the Fund requires a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. Because Partners cannot withdraw capital from the Fund and the fact that Interests are not tradable, an investment in the Fund is an illiquid investment and involves a high degree of risk.
Dependence on Investment Team. The Fund has no operating history upon which prospective Limited Partners can evaluate performance. No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund will achieve its investment objective or that Limited Partners will not lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Fund. The past performance of the Investment Manager or its affiliates is no guarantee of the future performance of the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund will be profitable.
Other Funds and Accounts Managed by Fidelity. The Fidelity personnel responsible for making investments on behalf of the Fund are also responsible for making investments on behalf of other funds and accounts.
