Definitions and Important Information [ INCLUDE AS REFERENCED ]
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based, market value-weighted benchmark that measures the performance of the investment-grade, U.S. dollar- denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. Sectors in the index include Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS, and CMBS.
Credit ratings for a rated issuer or security are categorized using Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s). If Moody’s does not publish a rating for a security or issuer, the Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) rating is used. When S&P and Moody’s provide different ratings for the same issuer or security, the Moody’s rating is used. Securities that are not rated by these Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (e.g., equity securities, if held) are categorized as Not Rated. All U.S. government securities are included in the U.S. Government category.
The table information is based on the combined investments of the fund and its pro rata share of any investments in other Fidelity funds.
ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index of U.S. dollar denominated, below-investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying securities must have a below-investment-grade rating (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch). The country of risk of qualifying issuers must be an FX-G10 member, a Western European nation, or a territory of the U.S. The FX-G10 includes all Euro members, the U.S., Japan, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden. In addition, qualifying securities must have at least one year remaining to final maturity, a fixed coupon schedule, and at least $100 million in outstanding face value. Defaulted securities are excluded. The index contains all securities of ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index but caps issuer exposure at 2%.
