Any such reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated at any time. See “Before Reductions” and “After Reductions” Portfolio Expense Ratios on page 27 of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Offering Statement for more information. The underlying mutual fund expense data was obtained from each fund’s most recently published financial statement (annual or semi-annual report) available as of the preparation of this Offering Statement. All expense rates and asset allocations are assumed to remain the same for the duration of the periods. The chart assumes that all redemptions are made for Qualified Higher Education Expenses, and therefore, does not reflect the impact of potential federal, state, or local taxes.

which includes the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Portfolios (“FA 529 Portfolios” or “Portfolios”), be limited to amounts that can reasonably be expected to
be used to meet qualified higher education expenses for an individual. The Plan’s Advisory Commission determines a new maximum
contribution limit each year based on seven times the annual cost of attending the most expensive school in New Hampshire (including
tuition, room and board, and fees). More, page 64. |

More, page 13. |
Tax Deferral |
Federal/State Deferral4 |
Section
529 provides federal income tax deferral. New Hampshire does not have a state income tax. Earnings on qualified distributions are
exempt from New Hampshire’s interest and dividends tax. Residents of states other than New Hampshire are not subject to this
tax. If you or the designated beneficiary is not a New Hampshire resident, you may want to consider, before investing, whether
your state or the designated beneficiary’s home state offers its residents alternate state tax advantages or other state benefits
such as financial aid, scholarship funds and protection from creditors. More, page 12. |
Estate Tax |
Contributions are considered completed gifts for federal gift, GST, and estate tax purposes. |
If
a Participant dies, money in the Plan is not includable in the Participant’s estate, with one exception. If the Participant
elects to take the annual gift and/or GST tax exclusion over five years, and dies before the five-year period elapses, then the contribution
amounts allocable to the calendar years after the date of death are included in the estate for estate tax purposes.5 More,
page 13. |

● the
risk that the value of your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account may decrease;
● the risk that
laws (both federal and state) affecting your account may change or expire while your account is open. More, pages 14, 65;
● the risk that any changes made to
the original structure or investment objectives of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan may render it less favorable to investors, including
any increase in fees and/or expenses; and
● the risk that
contributions to a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account may adversely affect the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s eligibility
for financial aid or other benefits. More, page 62.
Please consider your investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon,
and other factors to determine if saving in the Fidelity Advisor Plan is appropriate for you. |
Distributions |
You may request a distribution by phone, online, or the Plan’s Distribution Form. |
You must specify the Portfolio or Portfolios from which the withdrawal will
be taken, and the amount from each Portfolio. If you do not specify any Portfolios your request will need to be resubmitted before any
distribution is made.
If you request distributions from one or more Portfolios in which you
do not have sufficient value to make the withdrawal, we will redeem your entire interest in the Portfolio(s), but will not increase
the amount withdrawn from any other Portfolio. This will result in the amount of the withdrawal being less than the amount requested,
and you will have to make a separate withdrawal request for the remainder. More, page 57. |
Tax Treatment of Qualified Distributions6 |
Qualified distributions are federal income tax free. |
Distributions
used for qualified higher education expenses are federal income tax free. New Hampshire does not have a state income tax. Earnings
on qualified distributions are exempt from New Hampshire’s interest and dividends tax. Residents of states other than New Hampshire
are not subject to this tax. More, page 14. |
Tax
Treatment of
Non-Qualified Distributions |
Investment gains are taxed as ordinary income to the Distributee.7 In addition, some Class A and C Units may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). |
This penalty tax is to prevent the Plan from being used as a tax shelter.
The following are exceptions to the penalty tax, but the earnings portion of non-qualified distributions would still be subject to income
tax at the Distributee’s tax rate if the Beneficiary:
● dies
or becomes disabled;
● receives a scholarship
or attends a U.S. Military Academy, and the distribution is less than or equal to the amount of the scholarship or the costs of an
advanced education at a U.S. Military Academy (as determined by law), respectively. More, page 56. |
Annual Account Fee |
$20 |
The
account fee is waived (i) if the Participant signs up for a Systematic Investment Plan (including Government Allotments for military
personnel); (ii) if the combined balance of all “Related Accounts” for a Beneficiary is equal to or greater than $25,000
- the term “Related Account” means any Account that is established for the same Beneficiary within the Trust; or (iii)
at the direction of Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMRCo LLC). If you hold your Account through a financial intermediary’s
Omnibus Account, your Account may be subject to an alternate annual account maintenance fee and waiver provisions. More, page
37. |
Expenses |
Annual estimated expenses for each Portfolio depend upon which Class or Classes of Units is purchased; 0.20% annual administration fee. |
There
are Class A Units, Class C Units, Class I Units, Class D Units and Class P Units. The fees and availability of each Class of Units
are described in detail in the Offering Statement. You select the Class of Units you initially want to purchase at the time you open
the Account. You should ask your financial representative to assist you in choosing the Class that is best for you. The
administration fee covers the cost of asset allocation and trust administration services, such as recordkeeping, statements, and
customer service. More, page 37. |
Investment
Options |
Your money will be invested based on the investment Portfolio(s) that you choose. |
Section
529 requires that the Participant does not have direct or indirect control over the investments. You may allocate contributions to
one or more of the Plan’s current Portfolios. The Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan’s Portfolios include Age-Based Portfolios,
Static Allocation Portfolios, Individual Fund Portfolios, and a Stable Value Portfolio. More, page 16. |
Investment Exchanges |
You may change investment options, but there are limitations. |
You
may reallocate your contributions and earnings among Portfolios (i) twice every calendar year for a given Beneficiary and (ii) any
time upon a change in the designated Beneficiary. You may invest future contributions in a different Portfolio(s) at any time. More,
page 21. |
Investment Risks |
An investment in the Portfolios is subject to market risk and volatility. |
An
investment in the Portfolios is subject to risk and fluctuation. Such risks include but are not limited to market risk, interest
rate risk, foreign investment risk, credit risk, and geographical concentration risk. More, page 22. |

The “Contribution Limit” will be determined each September by the Advisory Commission based on the annual cost of attending the most expensive school in New Hampshire (including tuition, room and board, and fees) multiplied by seven. This figure becomes effective the next calendar year (on January 1) and will be compared to a Beneficiary’s Account balance as of the end of the year (December 31). If the combined balance of all Accounts for that Beneficiary in the Trust is below the contribution limit, the Beneficiary is eligible to receive further contributions up to that amount. If the combined balance is at or above that amount, no further contributions will be permitted that year. |

In order for an accelerated transfer to a 529 Plan (for a given Beneficiary) of $95,000 in 2025 (or $190,000 combined for spouses who gift split) to result in no Federal transfer tax and no use of any portion of the applicable Federal transfer tax exemption and/or credit amounts, no further annual exclusion gifts and/or generation-skipping transfers to the same Beneficiary may be made over the five-year period, and the transfer must be reported as a series of five equal annual transfers on Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. If the donor fails to survive the five-year period, a portion of the transferred amount will be included in the donor’s estate for estate tax purposes. The accelerated gifting provision does not include transfers from a UGMA/UTMA Account to a UGMA/UTMA 529 Plan Account. Accelerated gifting may apply for a trust 529 Plan Account. Consult with a tax advisor regarding your situation. |
4 |
The portfolios are held in a tax-advantaged Plan under IRC Section 529, which is not intended to result in distributions of dividends or capital gains which would be taxable under various state laws. However, you should consult your tax advisor with respect to taxation by states other than New Hampshire. |
|
|
5 |
Since the accelerated gifting provision does not apply to UGMA/UTMA 529 Plan Accounts, the exception does not apply to UGMA/UTMA 529 Plan Accounts. Estate tax rules may differ for UGMA/UTMA 529 Plan Accounts. Consult with a tax advisor. |
|
|
6 |
Qualified distributions are those used to pay for (1) tuition, fees, room, board, books, computer equipment and technology, supplies, and equipment required for the course of education as well as “special needs services” needed by a special needs beneficiary in connection with attending virtually any accredited post-secondary institution anywhere in the U.S. and at eligible foreign institutions; (2) up to $10,000 in tuition-related expenses per beneficiary at a public, private, or religious elementary or secondary educational institution in a taxable year; (3) expenses for fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for the participation in an apprenticeship program registered and certified with the Secretary of Labor under Section 1 of the National Apprenticeship Act. This provision is effective for such distributions made after December 31, 2018; or (4) amounts paid as principal or interest on any qualified education loan (as defined in Section 221(d) of the Code) of a 529 plan designated beneficiary or a sibling of a designated beneficiary up to a $10,000 lifetime limit per individual. This provision is effective for such distributions made after December 31, 2018. |
|
|

The Distributee is the person who receives the distributions. The Distributee may be the Participant or the Beneficiary under the Plan. The Beneficiary will be deemed the recipient for distributions made to the Beneficiary or an eligible education institution attended by the Beneficiary. The Participant will be deemed the recipient for all other distributions. |

Setting Up and Contributing to
an Account
This section tells you what you need to know to get started with your
Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account. Be sure to read the Offering Statement and Participation Agreement. You need to read and understand
both documents in order to open an Account.
Note that the tax information here is general information only, and that
it refers to federal income tax and other federal taxes, but not to any state and local taxes that may apply, except where noted.
SOME STATES OFFER FAVORABLE TAX TREATMENT TO THEIR RESIDENTS ONLY IF
THEY INVEST IN THEIR OWN STATE’S PLAN. BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX PROFESSIONAL
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BENEFITS OR CONSEQUENCES OF INVESTING IN A PLAN OFFERED BY YOUR STATE OR THE DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY’S
HOME STATE.
OPENING AN ACCOUNT AND MAKING
CONTRIBUTIONS
You may open an Account only through your financial
representative. You or your financial representative can submit your initial contribution online or by mail. A Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan
Account must be in the name of only one person (who is referred to as the Participant). The Participant must be a U.S. resident, have
a Social Security number or Tax ID, and be 18 years or older at the time an Account is opened and when a contribution is made to an Account.
If you do not maintain a U.S. residency, Fidelity may in its sole discretion restrict your right to access any or all of the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan Account features, products, investments or services. We will accept contributions only by or on behalf of the Participant.
Note that by law, all contributions have to be in the
form of a check, electronic transfer, or other form of cash (other than currency). Stocks, bonds, or other property cannot be accepted.
For individuals who are interested in working directly with Fidelity Investments to open and invest in a 529 Account, the State of New Hampshire offers the UNIQUE College Investing Plan, which provides investors with different investment options, pricing, and fees & expenses as well as other alternate program features. For more information on the direct-sold UNIQUE College Investing Plan, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-1914 or go to www.fidelity.com/college. |
Contributing with a Systematic Investment Plan
● |
Fidelity Advisor Money Line® - lets you or your financial representative set up monthly or quarterly automatic transfers from a bank or money market account into your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account. To set up this service, the Participant’s name must be identical on both Accounts. |
● |
If you set up a Systematic Investment Plan of at least $50 a month, you will not be charged a $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee. You or your financial representative can set up a Systematic Investment Plan at the outset using your Account Application, or you can add one to an existing Account by downloading the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Systematic Investment Program Form from www.institutional.fidelity.com or by calling 1-877-208-0098. When setting up a Systematic Investment Plan, it may take up to 30 days (or 90 days if you establish quarterly automatic transfers) for your first contribution to occur. Note that Systematic Investment Plan transfers may be suspended if the total value of your Accounts for a given Beneficiary in the New Hampshire Higher Education Savings Plan Trust reaches the maximum contribution level. If you hold your Account through a financial intermediary’s Omnibus Account, your Account may be subject to an alternate annual account maintenance fee and waiver provisions. More, page 37. |
Making Individual Contributions
You may contact Fidelity or your financial representative
to make contributions:
● |
By check - ideal for opening an Account or contributing by mail. Make your check payable to Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. |
|
|
● |
By Fidelity Advisor Money Line® - setting up this feature lets you or your financial representative request transfers from a bank or money market account into your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account online or by phone at any time. |
|
|
● |
By wire - be aware that your bank may charge a fee for wiring funds. Call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098 for wiring instructions. |
To set up any of these services, the Participant’s
name must be identical on both accounts.
Making a Transfer or Rollover from Another
Account
● |
From another 529 Account: Get a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Rollover Form online at www.institutional.fidelity.com, by calling 1-877-208-0098, or through your financial representative. |
|
|
● |
From a Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA) or a qualified U.S. Savings Bond: call 1-877-208-0098. |
529 Plan, Coverdell ESA, and savings bond transfers
can have federal tax liability if improperly handled. When making a transfer, be sure that the proceeds are placed into the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan Account within 60 days of their distribution from the source account.
Also, we need a statement from the source account’s
provider that details how much of the distribution is principal and how much is earnings or interest. You or your financial representative
can get a statement from the source account’s provider, or you can ask us to do so. If we do not receive this information, we
are required by law to consider your entire rollover amount to be earnings, which could increase the tax owed on future withdrawals.
Please make sure the Beneficiary of the new Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan Account is:
● |
the same Beneficiary or an eligible family member of the original Beneficiary for money from 529 Accounts. See page 23 for list of eligible family members. |
|
|
● |
the same as that of the source account for money from Coverdell ESA’s. |
|
|
● |
the savings bond owner or
a spouse or dependent of the owner for money from the redemption of qualified U.S. Savings Bonds; also, if income limitations
are not met, your rollover may be taxable. |
Also, according to federal tax law, only one 529 Account
per Beneficiary can be rolled over in any twelve month period without changing the Beneficiary. This is true even if the accounts are
in different 529 Plans or have different Participants; however, there is no such restriction with respect to any rollover in which the
Beneficiary is changed to an eligible member of the family of the original Beneficiary.
See the limitations on changing Beneficiaries on page
23.
Exit Fee Reimbursement
If you rollover from another 529 Plan to the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for the actual amount of any exit fee imposed by the other 529 Plan, up
to a maximum of $50. Only one rollover per 529 Account is eligible for reimbursement, and your financial representative must notify Fidelity
in advance of the rollover in order to qualify.
Fidelity will reimburse you only for an exit fee charged
under the terms of the plan. You will not be reimbursed for anything else, such as taxes, contingent deferred sales loads or other sales
charges, finders’ fees, or annual account charges imposed as a result of the rollover. The amount of the reimbursement will be credited
to the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account into which you make the rollover. It will be treated as a contribution by you to the Account.
Fidelity reserves the right to discontinue the reimbursement
program at any time. Certain restrictions apply. Please contact your financial representative to determine whether you are eligible for
an exit fee reimbursement on rollovers to the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan.
DECIDING HOW MUCH TO CONTRIBUTE
Minimum to Open an Account
● |
No initial minimum contribution |
|
|
● |
$50 a month or $150 a quarter if you set up a Systematic Investment Plan of at least $50 a month or $150 a quarter, respectively. If you make systematic contributions, you will not be charged the $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee |
You can also contribute using special credit card reward
points. Contact Fidelity or your financial representative for more information.
Maximum Contribution Without Incurring Gift
or Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax
● |
$19,000 a year from any Participant to a given Beneficiary, with no other gifts to the Beneficiary that year |
|
|
● |
$95,000 in one year, if made as an “accelerated gift,” with no other gifts to the Beneficiary qualifying for annual exclusion treatment during that year and the next four calendar years |
Gift and generation-skipping transfer tax considerations
Gift tax and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax may be triggered by gifts from one individual to another of more than $18,000 a year.
For gift and estate tax purposes, 529 Plan contributions are considered completed gifts.
However, for any Beneficiary, you can contribute up
to five times the annual tax-free maximum (currently $95,000 per individual, $190,000 per couple) at one time. As long as you file Form
709 with your federal tax returns for the year the contribution was made, and make no other taxable gifts to the Beneficiary during that
year or the next four calendar years, your 529 plan contribution will be treated as five equal annual gifts. It should not trigger gift
or GST tax, nor should you have to use any exemptions or credits associated with them.
Setting Up and Contributing
to an Account, continued
Note that the larger your 529 plan contributions, the
less you may be able to give in the way of other gifts without incurring gift or GST tax.
Each individual has a $13,990,000 (as of 2025, and
indexed for inflation) lifetime exemption equivalent that may be applied to gifts in excess of the gift tax annual exclusion amounts referred
to above made after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, and a $5,600,000 (indexed for inflation) lifetime exemption equivalent
that may be applied to gifts made before January 1, 2018 or after December 31, 2025. Each individual has a $13,990,000 estate and generation-skipping
tax exemption (as of 2025, subject to annual upwards adjustment for inflation), reduced by the amount of lifetime gifts made by such individual
in excess of the annual gift tax exclusion amounts, for death occurring after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, and a $5,600,000
(indexed for inflation) estate and generation-skipping tax exemption, reduced by the amount of lifetime gifts made by such individual
in excess of the annual gift tax exclusion amounts, for death occurring before January 1, 2018 or after December 31, 2025.
Estate tax considerations If a Participant makes
an accelerated gift but dies during the five-year period, the portion of the gift allocated to the calendar years after the year of death
is considered part of the Participant’s estate for estate tax purposes.
State tax considerations New Hampshire does not have a state income tax. Distributions used for qualified higher education expenses are exempt from the New Hampshire interest and dividends tax, but there may be other state or local taxes that may apply depending on where you and the Beneficiary live. As with most legislation, tax laws can change, and you should consult with a qualified tax professional before making any investment decisions. |
|
Some states offer favorable tax treatment or other state benefits to their residents only if they invest in their own state’s plan. |
|
State tax and other benefits should be one of many factors considered in your investment decision-making process. |
|
You may want to consult with a qualified tax professional on how the potential benefits associated with an investment in your own state’s plan would apply to your specific situation as well as contact your home state plan to learn more about its features. |
|
If you or the designated Beneficiary is not a resident of New Hampshire, you may want to consider, before investing, whether your state or the designated Beneficiary’s home state offers its residents a plan with alternate state tax advantages or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds and protection from creditors. |
Creditor Protection
The United States Bankruptcy Code provides that contributions
to 529 accounts may be protected from creditors in bankruptcy proceedings, subject to certain limitations. Should you file for relief
under the Bankruptcy Code, your 529 account will be protected if, at the time the contributions were made, the designated Beneficiary
was your child, stepchild, grandchild, or stepgrandchild (including a child, stepchild, grandchild, or stepgrandchild through adoption
or foster care), subject to the following limits:
● |
Contributions made to all 529 accounts for the same designated Beneficiary at least 720 days before a federal bankruptcy filing are completely protected; |
|
|
● |
Contributions made to all 529 accounts for the same designated Beneficiary more than 365 days but less than 720 days before a federal bankruptcy filing are protected up to $7,575 (to be readjusted effective April 1, 2025); and |
|
|
● |
Contributions made to all 529 accounts for the same designated Beneficiary less than 365 days before a federal bankruptcy filing are not protected against creditor claims in federal bankruptcy proceedings. |
Your own state law may offer additional creditor protections.
Consult with an attorney regarding your specific situation.
Maximum Allowable Contribution
● Adjusted yearly; $621,411 per Beneficiary.
One individual can be the Beneficiary of multiple Accounts
in the New Hampshire Higher Education Savings Plan Trust, which includes the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Portfolios, but if the total value
of those Accounts for a given Beneficiary is at or above the maximum contribution level, you cannot start or add to an Account for that
Beneficiary.
Using assets in an existing UGMA/UTMA Account to make contributions
to a UGMA/UTMA 529 Account can have benefits as well as limitations:
| · | To use UGMA/UTMA assets to invest in a UGMA/UTMA
529 Plan, the Account’s custodian must first convert them into cash by selling them. The minor, or his/her parents, are responsible
for any resulting taxes. |
| · | UGMA/UTMA statutes will continue to apply to a
UGMA/UTMA 529 Account. The UGMA/UTMA custodian becomes the Participant of the 529 Account, and the minor becomes the Beneficiary. The
assets remain the property of, and can only be used to benefit, the Beneficiary. |
| · | When the minor/Beneficiary reaches the age when
a UGMA/UTMA Account must be terminated, the custodian must change the account registration to a non-UGMA/UTMA 529 Account that has the
former minor as both Participant and Beneficiary. |
| · | Money in a UGMA/UTMA Account can be invested in
a UGMA/UTMA 529 Account without gift or GST tax. However, an accelerated gift is not an option when adding new money to a UGMA/UTMA Account. |
| · | You may not change the Beneficiary of a UGMA/UTMA
529 Account. |

Managing and Modifying an Account
This section discusses the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan’s investment
options and how to choose among them. There is also information about monitoring your account and changing Beneficiaries.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan’s investment options
consist of a range of professionally managed Portfolios created for the use of education investors. These Portfolios include Age-Based
Portfolios, Static Portfolios, Individual Fund Portfolios, and a Stable Value Portfolio.
Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMRCo
LLC) the Investment Manager for the Plan’s Portfolios, continually monitors the investments in the Portfolios and may, from time-to-time,
add or replace any of the underlying funds or change the target allocations.
The FA 529 Portfolios invest in (1) a mix of stock,
bond, and money market Fidelity mutual funds, (2) a single Fidelity mutual fund, or (3) a stable value separately-managed account that
may invest in individual securities or Fidelity mutual funds and investment contracts issued by third-party insurance companies or banks.
(For simplicity, in this document, we use the terms “stock” and “bond” to indicate the broader universe of equity
and debt securities, respectively).
Age-Based Portfolios
These eight Portfolios are keyed to a Beneficiary’s
year of birth. Each one has the same investment objective: capital appreciation with reasonable safety of principal, consistent with the
ages of the Beneficiaries for whom the Portfolio was designed. The names of most of the Age-Based Portfolios reflect the approximate year
that a Beneficiary is anticipated to start college, using the assumption that the Beneficiary will start college at age 18. The one exception
is the College Portfolio, which has a fixed target allocation that is designed to be appropriate for the time when a Beneficiary is withdrawing
money to attend college.
About every three years, Fidelity creates a new Age-Based
Portfolio for the youngest Beneficiaries, and transfers the assets in the oldest Age-Based Portfolio to the College Portfolio. The transfer
process usually occurs at the end of the year in which the youngest Beneficiary for whom the Age-Based Portfolio was designed turns 18
years.
The allocations of the Age-Based Portfolios change
gradually over time. Except for the College Portfolio, which has a fixed target allocation, each Portfolio begins with a growth-oriented
allocation, then gradually shifts to an allocation that is oriented more toward income and capital preservation.
The following Glide Path chart, illustrates the approximate
asset allocation among (U.S. Equity Funds (Domestic Equity Funds), Non-U.S. Equity Funds (International Equity Funds), Bond Funds, and
Short-Term Debt Funds), relative to a Beneficiary’s investment time horizon. The chart also illustrates how these allocations may
change over time. The actual asset allocations may differ from this illustration.

The allocation path used by these Portfolios is designed
to ensure that at any given point in its life cycle, an Age-Based Portfolio will have an allocation that is neither overly aggressive
nor overly conservative in relation to its time horizon. The actual asset allocations of the Age-Based Portfolios may vary from the approximate
allocations illustrated in the Glide Path chart.
Fidelity may also use its proprietary asset allocation
research to make active asset allocation decisions in the Age-Based Portfolios by overweighting or underweighting certain asset classes.
Such active asset allocation decisions may better enable the Portfolios to take advantage of short-to-medium term opportunities and market
conditions. At any time, the actual asset allocations of the Age-Based Portfolios may vary +/- 10% within Equity (U.S. Equity and Non-U.S.
Equity), Bond, and Short-Term Debt Funds from the approximate asset allocations of those Portfolios as illustrated on the Glide Path chart.
Fidelity may also make active asset allocations within
other asset classes (including Commodities, High Yield Debt, Floating Rate Debt, Real Estate Debt, and Emerging Markets Debt) of the Age-Based
Portfolios from 0% to 10% individually but no more than 25% in aggregate within those other asset classes. Please see page 66 for more
detailed information on the asset allocation of the Portfolios.
Static Portfolios
These two Static Portfolios have target allocations
that do not change over time and include both an aggressive equity Portfolio as well as a Portfolio with exposure to equity and fixed
income securities. Each Portfolio has its own investment objective:
● |
FA 529 Aggressive Growth Portfolio: growth of capital over the long term. The Portfolio invests 100% of its assets among equity mutual funds. |
|
|
● |
FA 529 Moderate Growth Portfolio: maximize total return over the long term by allocating its assets among equity and bond mutual funds. Maintains a neutral mix over time of approximately 70% of assets in equity mutual funds. |
Rather than being keyed to the age of a Beneficiary,
the Static Portfolios are intended for use by Participants who want a more active role in determining the asset allocation of their Accounts.
The actual asset class allocations within the asset
classes of these Portfolios may vary from time to time without notice.

Individual Fund Portfolios |
Each
of the Individual Fund Portfolios has the same investment objective as the Fidelity fund in which it invests and is designed for Beneficiaries
of any age. Individual Fund Portfolios are designed for use alone or in combination with other Portfolios offered through the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan. Please go to the “Underlying Mutual Funds” section on page 66 for more information on the underlying mutual
funds in which the Individual Fund Portfolios invest.

The
Stable Value Portfolio seeks the preservation of principal while earning a level of income that is consistent with principal preservation.
The Portfolio is composed of a stable value separately-managed account that may invest in individual securities or actively-managed and/or
index Fidelity mutual funds and investment contracts issued by third-party insurance companies or banks. Fidelity has entered into contractual
arrangements with third-party insurance providers on behalf of the Trust, which is the Policyholder of the insurance contracts, to help
the Stable Value Portfolio provide a steady, positive annual rate of rate. The insurance contract is made by the insurance companies to
the Policyholder not to the Participants.

PORTFOLIO AND FUND |
To help ensure that money in 529 Plans is invested appropriately for the Beneficiary, federal law prohibits Participants and Beneficiaries from directing their 529 Account’s investments. The Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan’s menu of professionally managed Portfolios is designed to give you a full range of options within the law’s limits. |
|
For details on the individual mutual funds used by the Portfolios, including strategies, risks, expenses, and performance, see page 68. |
For more information on the investment manager and
terms of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan agreements between the State of New Hampshire and Fidelity, see page 64.
CHOOSING YOUR INVESTMENTS
Although federal law does not let 529 Participants
take a hands-on role in directing their 529 Account’s investments, the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan does offer you some flexibility
to select among the investment options.
The first step for you and your financial representative
is to decide whether you would prefer to follow an age-based strategy (the simplest option) or create a custom strategy of your own.
Deciding Which Strategy is Right for You
Age-based strategy With this strategy, your
entire account will be invested in the Age-Based Portfolio that corresponds to your Beneficiary’s birth year. Each Portfolio becomes
increasingly more conservative over time as the Beneficiary approaches college age.
Custom strategy With this strategy, you choose
among Age-Based, Static, Individual Fund, and Stable Value Portfolios, and your allocation to each Portfolio.
A wide variety of criteria may enter into
your strategy decision, potentially including one or more of the reasons below.
You may want to consider the age-based
strategy if you:
| · | are more interested in choosing one Portfolio than in personally controlling
the allocation across multiple Portfolios |
| · | would feel more comfortable letting Fidelity’s investment professionals
manage your allocation |
You may want to consider a custom strategy if
you:
| · | want your financial representative to help you make investment
choices to the extent allowed by law |
| · | want to select a different Age-Based Portfolio than the
age-based strategy would put you in, or want to blend two Age-Based Portfolios |
| · | want to add a conservative or aggressive slant to an Age-Based
Portfolio by combining it with one or more Static, Individual Fund, or Stable Value Portfolios |
| · | want your financial representative to help you create a
fully custom allocation that you monitor and adjust over time |
Changing Your Strategy or Allocation
Unless you change it, the strategy you select when
you set up your Account will remain in place for the life of the Account. Any Age-Based Portfolios will shift allocation according to
the allocation path described earlier, until being rolled into the College Portfolio; any Static, Individual Fund,
and Stable Value Portfolios
will retain their specified allocations.
Although the age-based strategy is designed to eliminate
the need for strategy change, you may want to review your selected strategy on a periodic basis. There is no prohibition on changing to
a custom strategy. Conversely, although it is recommended that custom strategies be reviewed and updated periodically, there is no obligation
to do so.
With either strategy, however, there are limitations
on how often a strategy or an allocation can be changed. In general, you should periodically assess, and if appropriate, adjust your investment
choices with your time horizon, risk tolerance, and investment objectives in mind.
Exchanging Units among Portfolios. An exchange
of Units involves the redemption of all or a portion of the Units of one Portfolio and the purchase of Units of another Portfolio. You
have the privilege of exchanging Units of a Portfolio for a Class of Units of another Portfolio. Such transactions are subject to eligibility
requirements of the applicable class of Units of a Portfolio and may be subject to applicable sales loads and/or CDSCs. Please note the
cross-share exchanges count towards the annual limit of two investment strategy changes per calendar year. An exchange between Unit classes
of the same Portfolio generally is a non-taxable event and are available as follows:
Class A: Units of Class A may be exchanged for Class
I Units.
Class C: Units of Class C may be exchanged for Class
A or Class I Units.
Class I: Units of Class I may be exchanged for Class
A, if you are no longer eligible for Class I. Class D and Class P Units are not eligible for cross-share exchange transactions.
Federal tax law provides two circumstances under which
you may exchange Units among Portfolios within an existing Account:
● |
Twice during a calendar year. To exchange Units among Portfolios, you or your financial representative can call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098 with your instructions. |
|
|
● |
When you change the Beneficiary of the Account to another family member of the original Beneficiary. You or your financial representative can download or call for a Beneficiary Change Form. Complete and submit the form using the instructions it provides. Note that there are restrictions and tax considerations on Beneficiary changes. For more details, see “Changing the Beneficiary” on page 23. |
Your exchange instructions may be to transfer among
specified Portfolios in specified amounts on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis (Dollar Cost Averaging). Each time a Portfolio
receives money in a Dollar
Managing and Modifying
an Account, continued
Cost Averaging transfer, it must receive at least $50
unless the Portfolio that is the source for the transfer has less than $50. In that case, we will take the remaining amount in the source
Portfolio, and the Dollar Cost Averaging transactions from that Portfolio based on your original instructions will no longer take place.
The establishment of the Dollar Cost Averaging would constitute the one exchange per calendar year. Dollar Cost Averaging does not ensure
a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Please check whether your financial representative’s firm makes this feature
available to its customers.
Changing how future contributions will be allocated
At any time, you can change the allocation for contributions that are made to an Account in the future. To do so, contact Fidelity at
1-877-208-0098 or your financial representative with your instructions. Be sure to tell us whether the change applies to all future contributions
or only to one.
UNDERSTANDING PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES
AND RISKS
Each Portfolio has its own asset allocation and, as
a result, its own risk and performance characteristics. When selecting a Portfolio, you and your financial representative will probably
want to consider your investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and other factors you determine to be important.
A Portfolio’s risk and potential return are functions
of its relative weightings of stock, bond, and money market investments. In general, the greater a Portfolio’s exposure to stock
investments, the higher its risk (especially short-term volatility) and its potential for superior long-term performance. The more exposure
a Portfolio has to bond and money market investments, the lower its risk and its potential long-term returns. There are also variations
in risk/return levels within the stock and bond categories. For example, international stocks typically have higher risk levels than domestic
stocks.
An allocation emphasizing stocks is generally considered
appropriate when the investment goal is many years away. As the goal becomes closer, an investor’s concern generally shifts from
capital growth to capital preservation, as is reflected in the Age-Based Portfolios’ allocation path. Although an active asset allocation
strategy within the Age-Based Portfolios is designed to add value to the Portfolios, there is no guarantee any value will be added, and
the strategy may result in losses to the Portfolios or may cause the Portfolios to have a different risk profile from that depicted in
the Plan’s asset allocation chart.
Each Portfolio generally intends to remain fully invested.
However, to the extent that a Portfolio does hold cash, it
may invest it in short-term collateralized loans called
repurchase agreements. If a Portfolio needs more cash than it has on hand, it may borrow from a bank.
Risk Factors that May Affect Portfolio Performance
While these are the major risks associated with each
of the Portfolios, in varying degrees, the list is not comprehensive. See page 68 for more complete risk information on the underlying
mutual funds.
Market risks Securities prices change every
business day, based on investor reactions to economic, political, market, industry, and corporate developments. At times, price changes
may be rapid and dramatic. Some factors may affect the market as a whole, while others affect particular industries, firms, or sizes or
types of securities. Market risk primarily affects stocks, but also affects high-yield bonds and, to a lesser extent, higher quality bonds.
Interest rate risks A rise in interest rates
typically causes bond prices to fall. Bonds with longer maturities and higher credit quality tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest
rates, as are mortgage-backed bonds. Short- and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move the same amount or in the same direction.
Money market investments are also affected by interest
rates, particularly short-term rates, but in the opposite way: when short-term interest rates fall, money market yields usually fall as
well.
Bonds that can be paid off before maturity, such as
mortgage-backed securities, tend to be more volatile than other types of debt securities.
Foreign investment risks Foreign stocks and
bonds tend to be more volatile, and may be less liquid, than their U.S. counterparts. The reasons can include greater political and social
instability, lower market liquidity, higher costs, less stringent investor protections, and inferior information on issuer finances. In
addition, the dollar value of most foreign currencies changes daily. All of these risks tend to be higher in emerging markets than in
developed markets.
Concentration risks To the extent that a Portfolio
is exposed to securities of a single country, region, industry, structure, or size, its performance may be unduly affected by factors
common to the type of securities involved.
Issuer risks Changes in an issuer’s business
prospects or financial condition, including those resulting from concerns over accounting or corporate governance practices, could significantly
affect a Portfolio’s performance if the portfolio has sufficient exposure to those securities.
Credit risks The value or yield of a bond or
money market security could fall if its credit backing deteriorates. In more
extreme cases, default or the threat of default could
cause a security to lose most or all of its value. Credit risks are higher in high-yield bonds.
Management risks A Portfolio’s performance
could suffer if its manager deviates from the Portfolio’s target allocation or chooses mutual funds that underperform.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical risks Geopolitical
and other events, including but not limited to pandemics and epidemics, may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies
and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions could adversely affect the value
of a mutual fund’s investments.
Counterparty risk A Portfolio’s performance
could be hurt if the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its commitments to the portfolio.
Borrower risk If a Portfolio borrows from a
bank, its performance could be more volatile until the loan is paid off.
Sustainability risks To the extent that a Portfolio
is exposed to sustainability mutual funds, the Portfolio bears the risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying sustainability
mutual funds, including the risk that the underlying mutual funds will not meet their investment objectives. Application of Fidelity’s
Environmental, Sustainability, and Governance (ESG) ratings process and/or sustainable investing exclusion criteria may affect the underlying
mutual fund’s exposure to certain issuers, sectors, regions, and countries, and may affect the fund and Portfolio’s performance
depending on whether certain investments are in or out of favor. The criteria related to the underlying fund’s ESG ratings process
and/or adherence to its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may result in the underlying fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain
securities when it might otherwise be advantages to do so, or selling securities for ESG reasons when it might otherwise be disadvantageous
for it to do so. As a result, the underlying fund’s performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of funds that
do not use ESG or sustainability criteria. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for an issuer to have
positive ESG factors. While the underlying fund’s Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the decisions it makes may differ
with other investors’ or advisers’ views.
Insurance Wrap Contract risk To the extent that
a Portfolio is exposed to an insurance wrap contract, the Portfolio is subject to the following risks: (i) default by the wrap contract
issuer with the potential result of loss of principal should market value of securities backing the contract be less than book value of
the contract, (ii) costs incurred to buy the wrap contracts reduce the Portfolio’s return, (iii) a
terminated wrap contract may be replaced with a contract
with less favorable terms or higher costs, (iv) poor market value performance of underlying securities may lead a wrap issuer to exercise
its right to terminate the contract, and (v) a wrap contract could terminate, resulting in a loss of book value coverage.
Social Concentration risks The risk that because
a mutual fund’s social criteria exclude securities of certain issuers for nonfinancial reasons, the fund may forgo some market opportunities
available to funds that do not use such criteria.
CHANGING THE BENEFICIARY
At any time, you can change the Beneficiary of a Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan Account to someone who is recognized by federal tax law as a family member of the original Beneficiary. There should
be no federal income tax consequences to such a change (although there could be federal gift or GST tax consequences). You can move money
in an Account to an Account for someone who is not a permitted family member, but for tax purposes this is the same as if you had withdrawn
the money and not used it to pay for qualified higher education expenses of the Beneficiary; see page 54.
Family Members
For purposes of a 529 plan, a family member is defined
as anyone who bears one or more of the following relationships to the original Beneficiary (including through adoption as a child), or,
except as noted, is the spouse of anyone who bears such a relationship:
● |
sibling or half-sibling |
|
|
● |
first cousin (but not a first cousin’s spouse) |
|
|
● |
descendent (for example, child or grandchild) |
|
|
● |
forebear (for example, parent or grandparent) |
|
|
● |
niece or nephew by blood |
|
|
● |
aunt or uncle by blood |
|
|
● |
child-, parent-, or sibling-in-law |
|
|
● |
spouse |
|
|
● |
step-parent, step-sibling, or step-child (but not other step-relatives) |
Note that if the new Beneficiary belongs to a younger
generation than the original Beneficiary, the original Beneficiary may be liable for gift or GST tax. For more information on gift and
GST taxes, see page 13.
To change the Beneficiary on an Account, you or your
financial representative will need to complete a Beneficiary
Managing and Modifying
an Account, continued
Change Form and submit the form using the instructions
it provides. Unless you tell us otherwise, any money in Static, Individual Fund, or Stable Value Portfolios will remain there, and any
money in an Age-Based Portfolio will be transferred to the Age-Based Portfolio that is designated for the new Beneficiary’s birth
year (if different from the current Age-Based Portfolio).
You may transfer all assets in an Account to an Account
you hold for another Beneficiary, or only a portion of the assets. If you transfer all assets to the other Beneficiary’s Account,
you may be charged a prorated administration fee.
You cannot change the Beneficiary of a UGMA/UTMA
529 Account.
In a UGMA/UTMA 529 Account, the rules concerning
account succession are different:
| · | The custodian of a UGMA/UTMA 529 Account can be changed. If the existing custodian
resigns for any reason, a successor custodian may be named. |
| · | The custodian of a UGMA/UTMA 529 Account can name a successor custodian by
placing the proper language in his/ her will or by executing a properly notarized letter of designation. |
| · | If a custodian dies or becomes incapacitated without naming a successor custodian,
what happens depends on the age of the minor: |
| - | If the minor is fourteen or older, he/she may name a successor custodian by providing Fidelity with a notarized letter doing so. |
| - | If the minor is under fourteen, his/her legally authorized guardian will become the successor custodian once evidence of guardianship
has been provided to Fidelity. If there is no guardian, or the guardian fails to act, any interested person (such as an adult family member
or the custodian’s representative) may ask a court to name a successor custodian. |
CHANGING THE PARTICIPANT
In general, you cannot put your Fidelity Advisor 529
Plan account into anyone else’s name. The Account must remain in the Participant’s name until it is closed or the Participant
dies. (There are exceptions for UGMA/UTMA 529 accounts; see sidebar).
If you want someone else to have the money in the Account,
you will need to remove the money from the Account and give it to them, paying any taxes that are due (see page 54 for more about taxes).
Naming a “Successor Participant”
If a Participant dies while there is still money in
the Account, Fidelity will need to recognize a “Successor Participant” to
take over the Participant’s role. As the Participant,
you have the ability to name a Successor Participant, and a Contingent Successor Participant, in the event that one or both is needed.
The simplest and most reliable way to name a Successor
Participant and Contingent Successor Participant is on the Account Application. You can add or change a Successor or Contingent Successor
Participant to an existing Account by using a Successor Participant Form. You can access this form by contacting Fidelity at 877-208-0098
or www.institutional.fidelity.com or by contacting your financial representative. Please check whether your financial representative’s
firm makes this feature available to its customers.
A Successor or Contingent Successor Participant can
be:
● |
a Trust; |
|
|
● |
a U.S. resident who has a Social Security number or Tax ID, and is at least 18 years old; |
|
|
● |
a family member or an unrelated person, or |
|
|
● |
the Beneficiary, as long as the Beneficiary is at least 18 years old, a U.S. resident, and has a Social Security number or Tax ID. |
Transferring Control to a Successor Participant
If a Participant dies, Fidelity will need the following
documents before we can put the Account in a Successor Participant’s name:
● |
letter of instruction |
|
|
● |
distribution form |
|
|
● |
certified copy of death certificate |
|
|
● |
new Account Application (if a Successor Participant is named and does not already have an Account for the same Beneficiary) |
|
|
● |
certified copy of letters testamentary or letters of administration (if the Participant left no Successor Participant Form) |
If a completed Successor Participant Form exists, the
documents should be submitted by the Successor Participant named in the form. If no form exists, the executor/executrix of the Participant’s
estate should submit the documents. Fidelity reserves the right to require additional documentation.
WHY SHOULD YOU NAME A SUCCESSOR PARTICIPANT? |
|
|
|
Although you are not required to name a Successor Participant on your Account Application, there are good reasons why you might want to. Should you (the Participant) die, who-ever becomes the Successor Participant will have control over the Account. The Successor Participant will have the power to change the Beneficiary, even the power to close the Account and keep the money (minus the applicable taxes). |
|
|
|
You can name a Successor Participant in your will. However, until your estate is settled-which could take months or even years-it may be difficult or impossible for anyone to make desired changes to the Account or to withdraw any money, even for qualified higher education expenses. And if you do not name a Successor Participant at all, then one will be chosen for you by operation of law, which could mean the selection of a person who would not have been your choice. |
|
|
|
Naming the Successor Participant on your account application may be the most direct way you have of avoiding these potential problems. |

PERFORMANCE
The
tables on the following pages show the past performance of each class of units for each Portfolio currently available through the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan. Although past performance is not an indication of future results, it can be valuable for an investor to know.
The
figures shown on the following pages reflect the deduction of all applicable Portfolio and mutual fund expenses as well as applicable
sales loads. The $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee has not been deducted from the performance figures. The figures assume that all dividends
and other distributions were reinvested in the underlying mutual funds that generated them.
Tracking
the Performance of Your Account
At
least once a quarter, Fidelity or your financial representative will send you a statement that shows your Account activity and current
value. Once a year, Fidelity or your financial representative will send you an annual report, which will show the asset allocation of
all of the Plan’s Portfolios, the mutual funds each Portfolio owned and in what percentages, and performance figures for the Portfolios.
You
or your financial representative can check current Portfolio performance or request a free annual report by phone at 1-877-208-0098 or

PERFORMANCE
TERMINOLOGY |
|
Total
return is the change in value of an investment over a period of time, including income
received and changes in the prices of investments owned. Cumulative total return is
the actual total return over a stated period. Average annual total return is a hypothetical
measure. It shows you the level of yearly return that would have produced the same result
as the cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the entire period instead
of variable.
Yield
is the income generated by an investment over time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. To ensure that investors can make
equal comparisons, all stock and bond funds are required to use the same formula for calculating yield.
Expense
Ratio is the ratio of fund expenses to the fund’s average net assets for a given period of time. Before Reductions is
the expense ratio before the expenses of the underlying funds are reduced by various measures. After Reductions is the expense
ratio after the expenses of the underlying funds are reduced. The underlying mutual fund expense data was obtained from each fund’s
most recent financial statement (annual or semi-annual report) available as of the preparation of this Offering Statement. |

The total
cost of an ongoing investment in a Portfolio is the Portfolio’s expense ratio. The expense ratios in the above chart reflect
all Fidelity Advisor Plan fees and expenses, including the program management fee, state assessment, portfolio management fee, and
underlying mutual fund annual operating expenses. Fidelity may change the overall asset allocation of a Portfolio, including the
mutual funds held in a Portfolio or the allocation among funds at any time without notice. Such change may result in changes to the
expense ratios. Expenses “Before Reductions” in the chart above do not reflect any fee waivers or amounts reimbursed
to a mutual fund in which a Portfolio invests by the investment adviser of an underlying mutual fund. Expenses “After Reductions”
in the chart above reflect expenses after any such fee waivers or other amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser of an underlying
mutual fund. Any such reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated at any time. The underlying mutual fund expense
data was obtained from each fund’s most recently published financial report (annual or semi-annual report) publicly available
as of the preparation of this Offering Statement beginning September 2024. |

Fund Portfolios (except the Sustainable Multi-Asset Portfolio) was on 6/7/19. The initial offering of Class I units for the Sustainable
Multi-Asset Portfolio and Stable Value Portfolio was 7/27/22 and 3/29/22, respectively. Returns prior to 6/7/19 are those of Class A
units for Age-Based, Static Allocation, and Individual Fund Portfolios. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance
data quoted. Please visit www.institutional.fidelity.com or call Fidelity for most recent month-end performance figures.

The total
cost of an ongoing investment in a Portfolio is the Portfolio’s expense ratio. The expense ratios in the above chart reflect
all Fidelity Advisor Plan fees and expenses, including the program management fee, state assessment, portfolio management fee, and
underlying mutual fund annual operating expenses. Fidelity may change the overall asset allocation of a Portfolio, including the
mutual funds held in a Portfolio or the allocation among funds at any time without notice. Such change may result in changes to the
expense ratios. Expenses “Before Reductions” in the chart above do not reflect any fee waivers or amounts reimbursed
to a mutual fund in which a Portfolio invests by the investment adviser of an underlying mutual fund. Expenses “After Reductions”
in the chart above reflect expenses after any such fee waivers or other amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser of an underlying
mutual fund. Any such reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated at any time. The underlying mutual fund expense
data was obtained from each fund’s most recently published financial report (annual or semi-annual report) publicly available
as of the preparation of this Offering Statement beginning September 2024. |

FIDELITY
ADVISOR FUND EXPENSE RATIOS ARE SHOWN FOR THE INSTITUTIONAL CLASS (“Class I”). |
ACCOUNT
AND PORTFOLIO FEES AND EXPENSES
The
value of an Account will be reduced by certain fees and expenses. Such fees and expenses may be grouped into two categories. First, there
are fees payable under the Participation Agreement between the Participant and the Trust. Second, there are expenses associated with
each Portfolio’s investments in the Fidelity funds.
Program
Management Fee. Except for the Stable Value Portfolio, there is a 0.10% program management fee paid to Fidelity for its investment
management services. This fee is a daily charge by the Trust against the assets of each Portfolio. For the Stable Value Portfolio, the
Program Management Fee is a daily charge by the Trust at an annual rate of 0.07% against the assets of the Stable Value Portfolio.
State
Assessment. Except for the Stable Value Portfolio, there is a 0.10% “State Assessment” (formerly known as “State
Fee”) received by the Trust for its administrative services to the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. This assessment is a daily charge
by the Trust against the assets of each Portfolio. For the Stable Value Portfolio, the State Assessment is a daily charge by the Trust
at an annual rate of 0.01% against the assets of the Stable Value Portfolio.
Portfolio
Management Fee. There is a Portfolio Management Fee assessed against the assets of Age-Based and Static Portfolios. This fee will
be reduced annually until a Portfolio’s asset allocation aligns and merges with the College Portfolio. The Portfolio Management
Fee reduction is reflected on the Portfolio Management Fee Rolldown Schedule detailed on the following pages. The current Portfolio Management
Fee is set forth on the FA 529 Plan Fee and Expense Structure tables that follow. There is also a Portfolio Management Fee for the Stable
Value Portfolio that is currently assessed at an annual rate of 0.30% of net assets invested in the Stable Value Portfolio.
Stable
Value Portfolio Insurance Wrap Fee. There is a Stable Value Portfolio Insurance Wrap Fee (“Insurance Wrap Fee”) that
is paid to the third party insurance issuers of the insurance contracts that wrap the underlying investments of the Stable Value Portfolio.
This fee is a contractual fee assessed against the long-term assets of the Stable Value Admin Pool and is currently at an annual rate
of 0.15% of its net position but may increase or decrease without notice based on the contractual terms with the insurance providers.
Expense
ratio. A Portfolio also bears its pro-rata share of the expenses of the underlying mutual funds in which the Portfolio invests. A
Portfolio’s expenses may be higher or lower depending on the changes in its allocation among different funds and changes in the
funds’ expenses.
The
Trust pays Fidelity additional money for distribution of Units. Fidelity in turn pays the firms that sell interests in the
Plan. See
“Sale of Units” on page 53 for a description of the fees paid to the firms in connection with the sale of Units.
Annual
Account Maintenance Fee There is an Annual Account Maintenance Fee of $20 per Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account. The $20 fee is assessed
on each anniversary of the date the account was opened. The $20 annual Account fee is waived and not imposed for any year in which:
(i) the
Account or a Related Account (defined below) is subject to an election by the Participant to make additional systematic $50 monthly or
$150 quarterly investments by electronic funds transfers (including Government Allotments for military personnel) during the entirety
of such year;
(ii)
the total asset value of the Account and any Related Accounts for a Beneficiary equals or exceeds $25,000. For purposes of this provision,
the term “Related Account” means any Account that is established for the same Beneficiary within the trust; or
(iii)
FMRCo LLC waives the fee at its discretion.
The
Trust pays Fidelity an amount equal to the total of the Annual Account Maintenance Fees collected by the Trust for Accounts held at Fidelity.
You
may elect to invest in the Plan through a financial intermediary that maintains a master account (an “Omnibus Account”) with
the Plan on behalf of its customers. If you hold your Account through a financial intermediary’s Omnibus Account, your Account
may be subject to an alternate annual account maintenance fee and waiver provisions. For Accounts held through a financial intermediary’s
Omnibus Account, the alternate annual account maintenance fee is imposed by and paid directly to your financial intermediary. In such
instances, FMRCo LLC is authorized to waive the $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee as noted above. Please contact your financial intermediary
for more information on the alternate annual account maintenance fee and waiver provisions related to your accounts.
Class
and Portfolio Fees There are also fees that vary by Class of Units and Portfolio. See the tables beginning on page 41 for specific
fees associated with each Class of Units for each Portfolio.
Fidelity
Management & Research Company LLC (FMRCo LLC), the funds’ investment manager, may reduce the overall expenses of some of the
underlying funds in which the portfolios invest. Portfolio expense ratios before and after these fund reductions and ratios for the individual
mutual funds, which are factored into the portfolio ratios are shown in the tables on the previous pages.
Portfolio
Performance, Fees, Expenses, And Sales Charges, continued
Any
account fees and expenses are paid to the Trust to provide for the costs of administration of the accounts and such other purposes as
the Trustee shall deem appropriate, including the funding of an endowment fund to provide scholarships to the neediest New Hampshire
residents attending an eligible post-secondary institution and the costs to hire an independent public auditor to audit the Trust. See
“Trust Expenses” on page 64 for more details.
AVAILABILITY
OF UNITS
Class
D Units are only available if purchased in an Account established before June 25, 2003.
Class
A Units
Sales
Charges and Concessions In certain circumstances, Fidelity may waive or reduce the sales charges applicable to Class A purchases.
These waivers and reductions are at the discretion of the Trustee and may be modified at any time.
To
qualify for a Class A sales charge waiver or reduction, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase.
Load
Waivers The front-end sales charges will not apply to the purchase of Class A under the following situations:
1. Purchases
by any employee of a firm, and any member of the immediate family of such person, if such firm has in effect a Selling Agreement for
the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan with Fidelity Distributors Company LLC;
2. Purchases
with “Fidelity 529 College Rewards” generated from the Fidelity Investments College Rewards Card;
3. Purchases
through a broker dealer, registered investment adviser, trust institution or bank trust department that charges an asset based fee;
4. Purchases
of $10.00 or less; and
5. The
initial sales charge on Class A units may be waived for rollovers from other qualified tuition programs if: (i) the assets are directly
rolled over from another qualified tuition program or a Coverdell Education Savings Account and (ii) you are purchasing Units through
a broker-dealer that has elected to make the sales charge waiver available to certain clients. Check with your financial representative
to determine if you are eligible for the waiver before initiating a rollover.
Combined
Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent The following qualify as an “individual” for purposes of determining
eligibility for the Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent programs: an individual and spouse purchasing as
Participant for his or her own Account and a Trust purchasing as a Participant for a Trust 529 Account. In order to obtain the benefit
of a front-end sales charge reduction for which you may be eligible, you may need to inform your financial representative of
other Accounts
you or your spouse maintain with your financial representative or other financial representative from the same intermediary.
Combined
Purchase If you are a new Participant, you may be able to receive a Class A front-end sales charge reduction when you combine
your initial purchase of Class A Units with purchases of: (i) Class A, Class C, Class D and Class P Units of any Fidelity Advisor 529
Plan, (ii) Class A, Class C, and Class P Units of any OklahomaDream 529 Plan, (iii) Class A, Class C, and Class P Units of any CHET Advisor
Plan, (iv) Class A, Class M, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, and (v) Advisor C Class shares
of Fidelity Treasury Money Market Fund.
Class
D Units are available only for Accounts established before June 25, 2003.
Purchases
may be aggregated across multiple intermediaries on the same day for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program.
Rights
of Accumulation If you are an existing Participant, you may be able to receive a Class A front-end sales charge reduction when
you add to your purchase of Class A Units the current value of your holdings in (i) Class A, Class C, Class D, and Class P Units of any
Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan, (ii) Class A, Class C, and Class P Units of any OklahomaDream 529 Plan, (iii) Class A, Class C, and Class
P Units of any CHET Advisor Plan, (iv) Class A, Class M, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares,
(v) Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity Treasury Money Market Fund, (vi) Daily Money Class shares of a fund that offers Daily Money Class
shares acquired by exchange from any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, and (vii) Class O shares of Fidelity Advisor
Diversified Stock Fund or Fidelity Advisor Capital Development Fund.
The
current value of your holdings is determined at the next Unit value without sales charge at the close of business on the day prior to
your purchase of Class A Units. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A Units for the purpose of
qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program.
Purchases
and holdings may be aggregated across multiple intermediaries for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program.
Letter
of Intent You may receive a Class A Unit front-end sales charge reduction on your purchases of Class A Units made during a 13-month
period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). Each Class A Unit purchase you make after you sign the Letter will be entitled to the
reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. You must file your Letter with Fidelity no
later than the date of the initial purchase toward completing your Letter.
Purchases
of the following may be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter: (i) Class A, Class C, Class D, and Class P Units of any
Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Portfolio, (ii) Class A and Class M shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor Classes of shares (except
those acquired by exchange from Daily Money Class shares of a fund that offers Daily Money Class shares that had been previously exchanged
from a Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares), (iii) Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of
shares, and (iv) Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity Treasury Money Market Fund. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will
not be considered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter.
Your
initial purchase toward completing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter.
Fidelity
will hold Class A Units in your name in an amount equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter and will restrict those
Units. The restricted Units will be released when you complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter. If you do
not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased front-end sales charges due in accordance with the sales charge schedule in effect
when your Units were originally bought. If you do not pay the increased front-end sales charges within 20 days after the date your Letter
expires, Fidelity may redeem sufficient restricted Class A Units to pay the applicable front-end sales charge. If you purchase more than
the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales charge
will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of additional
Class A Units at the then-current offering price applicable to the total investment.
Purchases
may be aggregated across multiple intermediaries for the purpose of qualifying the Letter of Intent Program.
For
specific information on the Combined Purchases, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent policies for the Advisor Fund Classes of
shares, please refer to a Fidelity Advisor Fund prospectus.
Reinstatement
Privilege If you have sold all or part of your Class A Units, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption
proceeds in the same class of Units of the Portfolio or another Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Portfolio, at the Unit value without the sales
charge next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days
of redemption. Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on Units will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting
that amount in Class A Units as applicable. This privilege may be exercised only once by a Participant with respect to the Portfolio
and
certain restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A Units had not
been redeemed. To qualify for the reinstatement privilege, you must notify Fidelity or your financial representative in writing in advance
of your investment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge Certain Class A Units sold by investment professionals who receive a finder’s fee will be subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the lesser of the cost of the Units at the date of purchase or the value of the Units
at the time of redemption. The CDSC will be assessed on these Units if they do not remain in the Portfolio for a period of at least one
uninterrupted year. In addition, the CDSC will not apply to any amount attributable to (i) investment gains, (ii) redemptions used to
pay for a Beneficiary’s qualified higher education expenses, or (iii) redemptions due to a Beneficiary’s death, disability,
or receipt of a scholarship or attendance in a U.S. military academy. In determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption,
shares that have been held the longest period of time will be redeemed first. The actual CDSC you pay may be higher or lower than that
calculated using this percentage due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of
each Class’s Unit value. See “Sale of Units” on page 53 for a description of finder’s fees.
Class
C Units
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge Class C Units may, upon redemption less than one year after purchase, be assessed a CDSC of 1.00%. The
actual CDSC you pay may be higher or lower than that calculated using this percentage due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary
with the amount of your investment and the size of each Class’s Unit value. The CDSC will not apply to any amount attributable
to (i) investment gains, (ii) redemptions used to pay for a Beneficiary’s qualified higher education expenses, or (iii) redemptions
due to a Beneficiary’s death, disability, or receipt of a scholarship or attendance in a U.S. military academy. Also, the CDSC
will not be charged to any Class C Units purchased by exchanging other Class C Units. In such cases, the CDSC applicable to the originally
purchased category of Class C Units will continue to apply instead.
Conversion
Feature Any Class C Units purchased in your account on or after June 8, 2017 (Effective Date) will automatically convert to Class
A Units five years from the date of the original purchase of such Class C Units. Any Class C Units purchased prior to the Effective Date
and held in your account for a period of five years from the date of the original purchase will automatically convert to Class A Units
beginning on or about October 9, 2017. All conversions will be made on the basis of the relative net asset values of the two classes,
without imposition of any sales
Portfolio
Performance, Fees, Expenses, And Sales Charges, continued
load,
fee, or other charge and will not count against the annual exchange limit. A shorter holding period may also apply depending on your
intermediary. Please see “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermediaries” in the “Appendix” section
of this Offering Statement.
Reinstatement
Privilege If you have sold all or part of your Class C Units, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption
proceeds in the same class of Units of the Portfolio or another Fidelity Advisor 529 Portfolio at the Unit value next determined after
receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances,
the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on Units will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class C Units as applicable.
This privilege may be exercised only once by a Participant with respect to the Portfolio and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes
of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class C Units had not been redeemed. To qualify for the reinstatement
privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your investment.
Class
D Units
Class
D Units are available only for Accounts established before June 25, 2003.
Reinstatement
Privilege If you have sold all or part of your Class D Units, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption
proceeds in the same class of Units of the Portfolio or another Fidelity Advisor 529 Portfolio, at the Unit value next determined after
receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances,
the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on Units will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class D Units as applicable.
This privilege may be exercised only once by a Participant with respect to the Portfolio and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes
of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class D Units had not been redeemed. To qualify for the reinstatement
privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your investment.
Class
P Units
Class
P Units are only available through the Plan’s Workplace Savings Program. The Workplace Savings Program gives the employer a choice
between offering employees Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan through payroll deduction (contributing to Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan through their
paychecks) or through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), establishing a Systematic Investment Plan through employees’ bank accounts.
Please check to determine whether your financial representative’s firm offers Class P Units to its clients.
Class
I Units
Class
I Units are available for sale to Participants who purchase Units through a broker dealer, registered investment adviser, trust institution,
or bank department that has elected to make available for purchase such Class I Units to their clients. Such Participants include but
are not limited to those (i) who participate in the Plan’s Workplace Program through a broker dealer, registered investment advisor,
trust institution, or a bank department that has elected to make available for purchase such Class I Units to their clients and (ii)
whose Portfolio Units have been exchanged by Fidelity from a Class of Units of a Portfolio held in such Account to Class I Units of the
same Portfolio. Class I Units are not subject to front-end sales charges, contingent deferred sales charges, or distribution fees. Please
check with your financial representative to determine whether Class I Units are available for purchase through your financial representative’s
firm.
Class
I Units are the only class of Units to purchase through a Registered Investment Adviser. If a class of Units other than Class I is selected
when purchasing through a Registered Investment Adviser, Fidelity will default your investment choice to Class I of the Portfolio indicated.

The
“Underlying Fund and Portfolio Management Fees” are based on a weighted average of the annual operating expenses after
reductions of the underlying mutual funds in which the Portfolio expects to invest as of January 2, 2025 and the Portfolio Management
Fees associated with the Portfolio as of January 2, 2025, which are paid to the Program Manager. The Portfolio Management Fee will
be reduced annually for the Age-Based Portfolios based on each Portfolio’s asset allocation among the applicable underlying
mutual funds as of the first day of each calendar year and is reflected on the Portfolio Management Fee Rolldown Schedule illustrated
on page 47. Individual Fund Portfolios (as defined on page 20) do not assess Portfolio Management Fees. The after-expense fee waiver
reductions reflect expenses after fees are waived or reimbursed by the investment adviser of the underlying mutual funds. Any such
reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated at any time. See “Before Reductions” and “After Reductions”
Portfolio Expense Ratios on page 27. The underlying mutual fund expense data was obtained from each fund’s recently published
financial statement (annual or semi-annual report) publicly available as of the preparation of this Offering Statement beginning
September 2024. The Stable Value Portfolio expense data includes an Insurance Wrap Fee that is currently 0.15% but may increase or
decrease without notice based on the contract terms with the insurance providers. |
2 |
The
“Program Manager Fee” is the percentage of net assets paid to Fidelity by the Trust for performing services for the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan. |
3 |
The
“State Assessment” is the percentage of net assets retained by the Trust. |
4 |
The
“Miscellaneous Fee” represents any other type of fee or expense imposed by the Plan. |
5 |
The
“Annual Distribution Fee” is a daily charge at the annualized rate specified in the above table of the value of your
units. |
6 |
The
“Total Annual Asset-Based Fee” illustrates the total asset-based fees assessed against net assets annually. The figures
do not include maximum initial sales charges, contingent deferred sales charges, or annual account maintenance fees. Please refer
to the “Hypothetical $10,000 Investment Cost Chart” for each class of units to review the impact of fees and expenses
on a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Plan over 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods. |

7 |
The
“Maximum Initial Sales Charge” represents the maximum sales charge you will pay on each investment in the Plan. Load
waivers and reduced sales charges may apply. The actual sales charge may be higher due to rounding. |
8 |
The
“Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” (CDSC) is a back-end sales load. Exceptions to the CDSC are described in the previous
pages. The actual CDSC may be higher due to rounding. |
9 |
The
“Annual Account Maintenance Fee” is the annual fee deducted from your account balance each year. Please note the account
fee will be waived (a) if the total value of all related accounts for your Beneficiary is at least $25,000 (b) if your account or
any other account for the same Beneficiary has had systematic contributions in place for the previous 12 months; or (c) at the Investment
Manager’s discretion. If you hold your Account through a financial intermediary’s Omnibus Account, your Account may be
subject to an alternate account maintenance fee and waiver provisions. More, page 37. |

The
“Underlying Fund and Portfolio Management Fees” are based on a weighted average of the annual operating expenses after
reductions of the underlying mutual funds in which the Portfolio expects to invest as of January 2, 2025 and the Portfolio Management
Fees associated with the Portfolio as of January 2, 2025, which are paid to the Program Manager. The Portfolio Management Fee will
be reduced annually for the Age-Based Portfolios based on each Portfolio’s asset allocation among the applicable underlying
mutual funds as of the first day of each calendar year and is reflected on the Portfolio Management Fee Rolldown Schedule illustrated
on page 47. Individual Fund Portfolios (as defined on page 20) do not assess Portfolio Management Fees. The after-expense fee waiver
reductions reflect expenses after fees are waived or reimbursed by the investment adviser of the underlying mutual funds. Any such
reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated at any time. See “Before Reductions” and “After Reductions”
Portfolio Expense Ratios on page 31. The underlying mutual fund expense data was obtained from each fund’s most recently published
financial statement (annual or semi-annual report) publicly available as of the preparation of this Offering Statement beginning
September 2024. The Stable Value Portfolio expense data includes an Insurance Wrap Fee that is currently 0.15% but may increase or
decrease without notice based on the contract terms with the insurance providers. |
2 |
The
“Program Manager Fee” is the percentage of net assets paid to Fidelity by the Trust for performing services for the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan. |
3 |
The
“State Assessment” is the percentage of net assets retained by the Trust. |
4 |
The
“Miscellaneous Fee” represents any other type of fee or expense imposed by the Plan. |
5 |
The
“Annual Distribution Fee” is a daily charge at the annualized rate specified in the above table of the value of your
units. |
6 |
The
“Total Annual Asset-Based Fee” illustrates the total asset-based fees assessed against net assets annually. The figures
do not include maximum initial sales charges, contingent deferred sales charges, or annual account maintenance fees. Please refer
to the “Hypothetical $10,000 Investment Cost Chart” for each class of units to review the impact of fees and expenses
on a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Plan over 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods. |
7 |
The
“Maximum Initial Sales Charge” represents the maximum initial sales charge you will pay on each investment in the Plan.
Load waivers and reduced sales charges may apply. The actual sales charge may be higher due to rounding. |
8 |
The
“Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” (CDSC) is a back-end sales load. Exceptions to the CDSC are described in the previous
pages. The actual CDSC may be higher due to rounding. Class P Units are not subject to a CDSC. |
9 |
The
“Annual Account Maintenance Fee” is the annual fee deducted from your account balance each year. Please note the account
fee will be waived (a) if the total value of all related accounts for your Beneficiary is at least $25,000 (b) if your account or
any other account for the same Beneficiary has had systematic contributions in place for the previous 12 months; or (c) at the Investment
Manager’s discretion. If you hold your Account through a financial intermediary’s Omnibus Account, your Account may be
subject to an alternate account maintenance fee and waiver provisions. More, page 37. |

The hypothetical chart compares the approximate
cost of investing in Class A Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan over different periods of time. The chart assumes an initial $10,000
investment in Class A Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan and a 5% annual rate of return, compounded annually. Dollar amounts are calculated
using Portfolio expense ratios after reimbursement and reductions. After-expense fee reductions reflect expenses after fees are waived
or reimbursed by the investment adviser of the underlying mutual funds. Any such reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated
at any time. See “Before Reductions” and “After Reductions” Portfolio Expense Ratios on page 27. The underlying
mutual fund expense data was obtained from each fund’s most recently published financial statement (annual or semiannual report)
publicly available as of the preparation of this Offering Statement beginning September 2024. All Portfolio expense rates and annual asset-based
fees are assumed to remain the same for the duration of the periods. The $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee has been included in the calculation.
The chart assumes that all redemptions are made for qualified higher education expenses, and therefore, does not reflect the impact of
potential federal, state, or local taxes. This hypothetical is not intended to predict or project investment performance. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. Your own results will vary.

The
“With Redemptions” cost data illustrates the additional expense an investor would incur if an investor withdrew assets
before the applicable CDSC period expires. The CDSC is 1% for the first year. |
The hypothetical chart compares the approximate
cost of investing in Class C Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan over different periods of time. The chart assumes an initial $10,000
investment in Class C Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan and a 5% annual rate of return, compounded annually. Dollar amounts are calculated
using Portfolio expense ratios after reimbursement and reductions and assuming redemptions are or are not made in years with applicable
sales charges. After-expense fee reductions reflect expenses after fees are waived or reimbursed by the investment adviser of the underlying
mutual funds. Any such reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated at any time. See “Before Reductions”
and “After Reductions” Portfolio Expense Ratios on page 29. The underlying mutual fund expense data was obtained from each
fund’s most recently published financial statement (annual or semi-annual report) publicly available as of the preparation of this
Offering Statement beginning September 2024. All Portfolio expense rates and annual asset-based fees are assumed to remain the same for
the duration of the periods. The $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee has been included in the calculation. The chart assumes that all redemptions
are made for qualified higher education expenses, and therefore, does not reflect the impact of potential federal, state, or local taxes.
Refer to CDSC section for list of reasons the CDSC is waived. This hypothetical is not intended to predict or project investment performance.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Your own results will vary.

The hypothetical chart compares the approximate
cost of investing in Class I Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan over different periods of time. The chart assumes an initial $10,000
investment in Class I Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan and a 5% annual rate of return, compounded annually. Dollar amounts are calculated
using Portfolio expense ratios after reimbursement and reductions. After-expense fee reductions reflect expenses after fees are waived
or reimbursed by the investment adviser of the underlying mutual funds. Any such reimbursements are voluntary and may be lowered or eliminated
at any time. See “Before Reductions” and “After Reductions” Portfolio Expense Ratios on page 33. The underlying
mutual fund expense data was obtained from each fund’s most recently published financial statement (annual or semiannual report)
publicly available as of the preparation of this Offering Statement beginning September 2024. All Portfolio expense rates and annual asset-based
fees are assumed to remain the same for the duration of the periods. The $20 Annual Account Maintenance Fee has been included in the calculation.
The chart assumes that all redemptions are made for qualified higher education expenses, and therefore, does not reflect the impact of
potential federal, state, or local taxes. This hypothetical is not intended to predict or project investment performance. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. Your own results will vary.

SALE OF UNITS
Pursuant to the Restated Management and Administrative
Services Agreement, the contract between Fidelity Investments and the State of New Hampshire, Fidelity markets interests in the Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan so that Selling Institutions will sell interests in the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. Using compensation it receives from
FMRCo LLC, Fidelity will compensate those Selling Institutions who sell interests in the Plan. Compensation varies by each Class of Units
and Portfolio.
Fidelity reserves the right to revise these
fee arrangements at its discretion. Fidelity may, from time to time, offer additional sales incentives paid for by Fidelity Distributors
Company LLC. In addition, the Selling Institution must satisfy certain requirements under its contract with Fidelity in order to receive
any of these fees.
Class A
For Class A Units in Age-Based Portfolios, Static
Allocation Portfolios, Individual Fund Portfolios, and Stable Value Portfolios that invest in a single underlying equity mutual fund,
asset allocation mutual fund, or an insurance-wrapped separately-managed account, a Selling Institution will receive a maximum fee up
to 3.00% of the amount invested in Units and annual distribution fees at an annualized rate of 0.25% of the value of each account. For
Class A Units in Individual Fund Portfolios that invest in Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund, Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Index
Fund, Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund, or Fidelity Total Bond Fund, a Selling Institution will receive a maximum fee up to 3.00%
of the amount invested in Units and annual distribution fees at an annualized rate of not more than 0.15% of the value of each account.
For Class A Units in Individual Fund Portfolios that invest in Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund, a Selling Institution will receive
a maximum fee up to 3.00% of the amount invested in Units and annual distribution fees at an annualized rate of not more than 0.15% of
the value of each account. Fidelity may allow additional amounts to the Selling Institution equal to the full amount of Class A sales
load. In circumstances where the Trustee has waived or reduced the sales charge applicable to Class A purchases, the maximum fee due to
the Selling Institution will be reduced (See “Class A Breakpoints” on page 42). See page 38 for a description of the Class
A sales load.
Finder’s Fees:
A finder’s fee equal to 1.00% on Class A Units is paid to investment professionals only in connection with purchases of $1 million
or more. Units sold by investment professionals who receive a finder’s fee will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of the lesser of
the cost of the Units at the date of purchase or the value of the Units at the time of redemption. The CDSC will be assessed on these
Units if they do not remain in the Portfolio for a period of at least one uninterrupted year. To qualify for a
finder’s fee, an investment professional
must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of the eligible purchase.
Class C
For Class C Units, a Selling Institution will
receive a fee equal to 1.00% of the amount invested in Units and annual distribution fees starting at month thirteen at an annualized
rate of not more than 1.00% of the value of each Account.
Class D
For Class D Units, the Selling Institution will
receive annual distribution fees at an annualized rate of not more than 0.50% of the value of each Account.
Class P
For Class P Units, a Selling Institution will
receive annual distribution fees at an annualized rate of not more than 0.75% of the value of each Account.
Class I
Class I Units are not subject to annual distribution
fees.
Making
Withdrawals and Closing an Account
In this section, you will find information
and instructions on how to take money out of your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account, as well as how to determine the potential tax implications
of a withdrawal before you request one.
DETERMINING THE TAX STATUS OF A WITHDRAWAL
One of the main benefits of a 529 Plan Account
is that the money in the Account grows federal income tax-deferred. Once money is in an Account, it should have few or no tax consequences
for you, until you take it out. Even then, if the withdrawal is for “qualified higher education expenses,” as defined by Section
529 of the Internal Revenue Code, you may enjoy additional tax benefits.
Keep in mind that the tax information here
is intended as a helpful guide, but is not comprehensive and is not tax advice. And remember, the following tax information refers to
federal tax laws but not to any state or local taxes that may apply, except where noted. Before making any Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account
transactions, get advice from a qualified tax professional.
Section 529 Qualified Tuition Programs are intended to be used only to save for qualified higher education expenses. These Programs are not intended to be used, nor should they be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of evading federal or state taxes or tax penalties. Taxpayers may wish to seek tax advice from an independent tax advisor based on their own particular circumstances. |
Withdrawals that are Tax-Exempt (Qualified Withdrawals)
Money you take from your Fidelity Advisor
529 Plan Account for the Beneficiary’s Qualified Higher Education Expenses is generally not subject to federal income tax.
There are three main tests for Qualified Higher
Education Expenses: (1) what type of educational institution the expense relates to, (2) what the money is used for, and
(3) whether the expense can be documented.
School accreditation: For education
expenses to be qualified, the Beneficiary must be enrolled at an eligible institution that meets specific federal accreditation standards.
These institutions include:
● |
most four-year colleges and universities, both for undergraduate and advance degrees |
● |
some two-year institutions |
● |
some proprietary and vocational schools |
● |
foreign schools that are eligible for the federal student loan program, including some foreign medical schools |
Be certain that the Beneficiary’s school
is accredited for purposes of using 529 Plan assets to cover expenses before you make a withdrawal.
529 account assets also may be used for certain
elementary and secondary educational expenses. Up to $10,000 per taxable year in 529 account assets per Beneficiary may be used for tuition
expenses in connection with enrollment at a public, private, or religious elementary or secondary educational institution. Although the
assets may come from multiple 529 accounts, the $10,000 qualified withdrawal limit will be aggregated on a per Beneficiary basis. The
IRS has not provided guidance to date on the methodology of allocating the $10,000 annual maximum among withdrawals from different 529
accounts. In addition, as of January 1, 2019, 529 account assets also may be used for certain apprenticeship program expenses, and on
a lifetime basis up to $10,000 per individual may be used to pay principal or interest on a qualified education loan of the Beneficiary
or a sibling of the Beneficiary. Although the assets may come from multiple 529 accounts, the lifetime $10,000 qualified withdrawal limit
for qualified education loan payments will be aggregated on a per Beneficiary or per individual sibling of the Beneficiary basis, as applicable.
The IRS has not provided guidance to date on the methodology of allocating the $10,000 per individual lifetime maximum among withdrawals
from different 529 accounts.
Purpose of Expense: Qualified withdrawals
include money used to pay for any of the following qualified education expenses:
Higher Education Expenses
● |
tuition and fees. |
● |
books, supplies, computer equipment and technology, and equipment required for enrollment. |
● |
room and board as long as the Beneficiary is attending the institution at least half-time (currently, if the student lives in housing owned or operated by the school, the allowable amount is the actual cost; otherwise it is limited to the room and board portion of the institution’s minimum “cost of attendance” figure). |
● |
“special needs services” needed by a special needs Beneficiary in connection with attending the institution. |
Elementary and Secondary Education Expenses
● |
tuition expenses of up to $10,000 per Beneficiary in connection with enrollment at a public, private, or religious elementary or secondary educational institution. |
Because the $10,000 annual limit on the amount
treated as Qualified Higher Education Expenses applies in the aggregate to all withdrawals from all 529 accounts designating the same
Beneficiary, irrespective of who owns the account, if you are aware of any other 529 accounts with the same designated Beneficiary, you
should coordinate with the owner of any such other account and with your tax advisor as to which withdrawals will be treated as Qualified
Higher Education Expenses.
Apprenticeships
● |
expenses for fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for the participation of a designated Beneficiary in an apprenticeship program registered and certified with the Secretary of Labor under Section 1 of the National Apprenticeship Act. This provision is effective for such distributions made after December 31, 2018. |
Student Loan Repayment
● |
amounts paid as principal or interest on any qualified education loan (as defined in section 221(d) of the Code) of a 529 plan designated Beneficiary or a sibling of the designated Beneficiary. The amount treated as a qualified expense is subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000 per individual. This provision is effective for such distributions made after December 31, 2018. Any federal income tax deduction otherwise available for interest on any qualified education loan will be reduced by the interest component of any qualified withdrawal used to repay a qualified education loan of the applicable taxpayer in the applicable tax year. |
Because the $10,000 lifetime limit per individual
on the amount of principal or interest on a qualified education loan treated as Qualified Higher Education Expenses applies in the aggregate
to all withdrawals from all 529 accounts designating the same Beneficiary, irrespective of who owns the account, if you are aware of any
other 529 accounts with the same designated Beneficiary, or of any other withdrawals from a 529 account for such payments for the same
sibling of the Beneficiary from a 529 account, you should coordinate with the owner of any such other account and with your tax advisor
as to how much of the $10,000 limit remains available for withdrawals for such purpose from your 529 account for the designated Beneficiary
or a particular sibling of the designated Beneficiary, and as to which withdrawals will be treated as Qualified Higher Education Expenses.
Note that any expenses used to claim the American
Opportunity tax credit or Lifetime Learning credit (see page 62) or any expenses covered by a tax-free scholarship or grant are not considered
to be Qualified Higher Education Expenses.
Expense documentation. Although a Participant
does not need to indicate to a 529 plan administrator whether a withdrawal is for Qualified Higher Education Expenses, it’s important
for you and the Beneficiary to keep all records of expenses for income tax purposes. The earnings portion of a withdrawal may be considered
taxable if you are unable to show (i) that it went to pay for a Qualified Higher Education Expenses or expenses at a registered and certified
apprenticeship program incurred during the year in which you took the withdrawal, (ii) that you did not exceed the $10,000 qualified withdrawal
limit per Beneficiary for tuition expenses in connection with enrollment at a public, private, or religious elementary or secondary educational
institution per taxable year or (iii) you did not exceed the lifetime $10,000 qualified withdrawal limit per Beneficiary or per sibling
of the Beneficiary, as applicable, for payments of qualified education loans.
Withdrawals that are Taxable
As a rule, a non-qualified withdrawal, money
taken from an Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account and not used for qualified expenses, including higher education expenses, any amount in
excess of $10,000 per taxable year for tuition expenses in connection with the Beneficiary’s enrollment at a public, private, or
religious elementary or secondary educational institution, any amount not used for expenses associated with a registered and certified
apprenticeship program, or any amount in excess of a lifetime amount of $10,000 per individual for payment of qualified education loans
of the Beneficiary or a sibling of the Beneficiary-will trigger federal income tax liability and possibly penalties. What portion of the
money is taxable, what types of tax are involved, and who owes the tax all can vary with circumstances.
Portion of money that is taxable
The money in a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account
consists of money that was contributed (principal) and any earnings on that money. When a withdrawal is made, it is considered to have
the same ratio of principal and earnings as the Account itself.
The principal portion of a withdrawal is not
taxable, no matter what the withdrawal is used for. For withdrawals that are not used for the Beneficiary’s qualified higher education
expenses, the earnings portion generally is taxable.
Except for situations described in the rest
of this paragraph, 100% of your opening balance in the Fidelity Advi-
Making Withdrawals and Closing
an Account, continued
sor 529 Plan Account is considered
principal. When you create a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account through the rollover of a 529 Plan, Coverdell Account, or the proceeds
from the redemption of a qualified U.S. Savings Bond, the portion that will be considered principal in your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan
Account is whatever is reported as being principal by the provider of the source account (with certain exceptions for qualified savings
bond proceeds). Note that if we do not receive any documentation about the source account, by law we must consider the entire rollover
amount to be earnings.
DO TAXABLE WITHDRAWALS AFFECT FINANCIAL AID? |
According to the Department of Education, a taxable withdrawal could be counted as taxable income, which could reduce eligibility for financial aid in the following year. The effect would depend on the size of the withdrawal, how much of it was taxable, and who received the money, among other factors. For more information about financial aid, see page 62. |
Types of taxes that may be involved
The earnings portion of a non-qualified withdrawal is subject to federal income tax as well as a 10% federal penalty tax, which exists
to discourage the use of 529 Accounts as a tax shelter. Depending on where you live, there may also be state or local income tax, interest
and dividends tax, or the equivalent.
There are two circumstances where you can make
a non-qualified withdrawal that is not subject to penalty tax:
● |
if the Beneficiary receives a scholarship or attends a U.S. Military Academy, you can withdraw up to the amount of the scholarship or costs of an advanced education at a U.S. Military Academy (as defined by title 10 USCS Section 2005(e)(3)), respectively. |
● |
if the Beneficiary becomes disabled or dies In either of these cases, the earnings portion of the withdrawal generally will still be subject to any other applicable taxes, including federal income tax. |
Who is liable for the taxes The Beneficiary
will be liable for any taxes due on money that is paid to the Beneficiary or the Beneficiary’s school. The Participant will be liable
for any taxes due on money that goes to any other recipient.
Federal income tax is calculated at that person’s
income tax rate. State and local taxes generally follow federal tax treatment, but may vary.
Annual Reporting of Withdrawals (Form 1099Q)
For any year when there are withdrawals from
your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account, Fidelity or your financial representative will send out Form 1099Q to whomever was
considered to have received the money. For
money sent to the Beneficiary or directly to his/her school, a Form 1099Q will go to the Beneficiary, who will be considered the recipient
of the money for tax purposes. For all other withdrawals, the Participant will be considered to have received the money and will be sent
a Form 1099Q.
REQUESTING A WITHDRAWAL
To make a withdrawal of any kind, whether qualified
or non-qualified, you will need to contact your financial representative or Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098 to make a withdrawal by phone or
to request a distribution form. You may also make a withdrawal online at www.institutional.fidelity.com. Certain limitations apply to
online withdrawals. Please go to www.institutional.fidelity.com for details. Withdrawals can be made only by the Participant (or legally
authorized representative), not the Beneficiary. You should determine the tax implications of any withdrawal before you make a withdrawal.
Requesting a distribution by phone Contact
your financial representative or Fidelity at 877-208-0098 to request a phone distribution. The distribution may be sent to your address,
the Beneficiary’s address, or to an educational institution. For distributions made to an educational institution, the check will
be made payable to the institution for the benefit of the designated Beneficiary and will have a limit of $100,000 per distribution. Any
distribution that involves a CDSC fee waiver may be made by phone provided it is payable to the qualified institution. Otherwise, the
request must be made in writing. Requests that involve a CDSC fee may also be made over the phone.
Making a distribution by form You or
your financial representative can download the 529 Plan Distribution Form from www.institutional.fidelity.com or have one mailed to you
by calling 1-877-208-0098.
Making a distribution online You or
your financial representative may request a distribution online at www.institutional.fidelity.com. Certain limitations apply. Go to www.institutional.fidelity.com
for more details.
Information you will need to provide to
make a distribution In addition to basic information such as name and Account number, you will need to tell us:
● |
the total amount you want to withdraw |
● |
which Portfolios you want the money to be withdrawn from |
● |
how much money we should take out of each Portfolio |
If you do not provide all of this information,
you will need to resubmit your request before we can act on it.
If you do provide all this information, but
the amount you ask to withdraw from any given Portfolio is more than what you have in the Portfolio, we will send you all the money you
have in that Portfolio but we will not take money out of any Portfolio you did not name. As a result, the amount of your withdrawal will
be less than what you requested. To get the rest, you will need to make another withdrawal.
Receiving the withdrawal You may make
a withdrawal by check, bank wire or ACH. For phone distributions, a check will be sent by regular mail to your address, the Beneficiary’s
address, or to an educational institution. For phone distributions made to an educational institution, a check will be made payable to
the institution for the benefit of the designated Beneficiary and will have a limit of $100,000 per distribution. Withdrawals requested
by form will be sent by regular mail to whomever you specify: you, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s school, or someone else.
Recontribution Any refund from an eligible
educational institution of amounts paid out of the Beneficiary’s 529 account for qualified higher education expenses will not be
included in the Beneficiary’s gross income if the refunded amounts are recontributed to the 529 account for the same Beneficiary
within 60 days of the refund. The recontributed amount may not exceed the amount of the refund. You will need to retain your refund and
redeposit records and receipts for your files. You will need to complete the 529 Recontribution Form and provide the requested information
and documentation to make the recontribution.
Making a transfer or rollover to another 529 plan account
You may rollover 529 account assets from your
Fidelity Advisor Plan Account to an account in another qualified tuition program established under Section 529 of the Code. The other
account’s designated Beneficiary must be the Beneficiary of your Fidelity Advisor Plan Account or a “member of the family”
of the Beneficiary. The rollover amount must be received by the other 529 account within 60-days of distribution from your Fidelity Advisor
Plan Account.
Also, according to federal tax law, only one
529 account per Beneficiary can be rolled over to an account in another 529 program in any twelve-month period without changing the Beneficiary.
This may be true even if the accounts have different owners; however, there is no such restriction with respect to any rollover in which
the Beneficiary is changed to a member of the family of the original Beneficiary. See the definition of “member of the family”
on page 23.
If you choose to make a rollover into another
529 plan account we will send to the address of record on your
account a check payable to your new plan for your benefit. Separately,
we will send information on the ratio of principal and earnings in your account at the time of the withdrawal. If you don’t complete
your rollover within 60 days, or you don’t provide the principal and earnings information to your new plan, you may face tax consequences.
Making a Transfer or Rollover to an ABLE Savings Plan (“ABLE”)
Account
You may rollover 529 account assets to a qualified
ABLE program as established under Section 529A of the Code. However, the ABLE account’s designated Beneficiary/eligible individual
must be the 529 account’s designated Beneficiary or an eligible individual (as defined by IRC Section 529A) and an eligible family
member of the 529 account’s designated beneficiary as defined by IRC Section 529. The rollover amount must be received by the ABLE
account within 60 days of distribution from the 529 account. Any amounts rolled over to an ABLE account will count towards the ABLE account’s
annual contribution limit. Unless extended by law, this provision will sunset on December 31, 2025.
Making a transfer to a Roth IRA account
You may transfer certain assets from your 529
account to a Roth IRA established for the designated Beneficiary of the 529 account. Beginning January 2024, the Secure 2.0 Act of 2022
(the “Act”) provides that you may transfer 529 assets to a Roth IRA under the following conditions: (i) the 529 account must
be maintained for the designated Beneficiary for at least 15 years, (ii) the transfer amount must come from contributions made to the
529 account at least five years prior to the 529-to-Roth IRA transfer date and any attributable earnings, (iii) the Roth IRA must be established
in the name of the designated Beneficiary of the 529 account from which the transfer is made, (iv) the amount transferred from a 529 account
to a Roth IRA in the applicable year, together with all other contributions in such year to all IRAs for the same beneficiary, must not
exceed the annual Roth IRA contribution limit applicable to such beneficiary, and (v) the aggregate amounts transferred from all 529 accounts
to Roth IRAs must not exceed $35,000 per beneficiary.
According to the Act, the movement of 529 account
assets to a Roth IRA must be completed as a direct transfer from the qualified tuition program to the Roth IRA custodian. The qualified
tuition program will be required to send a copy of the principal and earnings in your 529 account as well as any other information specified
through forthcoming guidance by the IRS to the Roth IRA custodian as of the date of the distribution to the Roth IRA. You will need to
complete the required forms to initiate the transfer of your 529 assets to a

for more information. It is your responsibility to maintain adequate records and documentation on your accounts to ensure you comply with
the 529-to-Roth IRA transfer requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.
As of the date of this Offering Statement,
the IRS has not issued guidance on the 529-to-Roth IRA transfer provision in the Act but is anticipated to do so in the future. Based
on forthcoming IRS guidance, it may be necessary to change or modify some of the 529-to-Roth IRA transfer requirements. Please consult
with your financial representative or tax professional regarding your specific circumstances before making any investment decision. You
may have a gain or loss when you transfer your 529 assets.
CLOSING AN ACCOUNT
If you withdraw all of the money in your Fidelity
Advisor 529 Plan Account and want to close the account, you will need to contact Fidelity or your financial representative and provide
such instruction. If your Annual Account Maintenance Fee for the year has not been paid at the time you close the account, a pro-rata
share of that fee may be deducted from your check.

NOTES
TAX CREDIT AND FINANCIAL AID CONSIDERATIONS
This section tells you about two federal tax credits that
may be used in tandem with your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account. It also discusses investments in a Coverdell Education Savings Account
(Coverdell ESA) and how your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account may affect the calculation of federal financial aid.
American Opportunity Tax Credit and Lifetime Learning Credits
These are two federal tax credits that can
provide an additional way to help with education costs: the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. Both set
conditions that are fairly precise, but if you meet the basic eligibility requirements, it can be worth the effort because you can receive
dollar-for-dollar tax credits - not just deductions.
Here are some points to know about these credits:
● |
Generally, these credits can only be used to reduce tax otherwise payable for the particular year (ignoring tax withholding and estimated tax payments). Therefore, once a person’s tax payable for a particular year is reduced to zero, any unused credits generally will not be refunded in cash and cannot be carried forward to another tax year. However, up to the lesser of 40% of a taxpayer’s American Opportunity Tax Credit or $1,000 may be refunded. |
● |
If a parent claims a child as a dependent on the parent’s federal income tax return, only that parent may make a claim for either credit with respect to that child. |
● |
Both credits cannot be claimed in the same tax year for the same student. However, one credit may be used for the expenses of one student and the other credit for the expenses of another student in the same tax year. |
● |
Neither credit can be claimed for qualified education expenses to the extent expenses were (i) used to obtain tax-free treatment for a distribution from a 529 account or a Coverdell account, (ii) claimed as a deduction under other federal tax provisions (such as the Section 222 tuition and fees deduction), or (iii) covered by any tax-free scholarship, grant, or other assistance. |
Details of the American Opportunity Tax
Credit. The American Opportunity Tax Credit offers a tax credit of up to $2,500 per student per year for the first four years of college-level
education. You may be eligible for a credit when all of these criteria apply:
● |
you are a single taxpayer whose modified adjusted gross income isn’t over $80,000 ($160,000 for married taxpayers filing joint returns) - the credit is gradually reduced to $0 for incomes up to $90,000 for single taxpayers ($180,000 for married filing jointly) |
● |
you paid certain higher education expenses during the calendar year - specifically, tuition, fees and course materials required for you, your spouse, or any dependent claimed as a Section 151 income tax deduction to enroll at or attend an eligible post-secondary school (note that this is not exactly the same as the definition of a qualified higher education expense for the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan) |
● |
the student had not yet finished four years of college-level education as of the beginning of the calendar year |
● |
the student attended school during an academic period that began during the calendar year, and attended at least half-time |
Individuals who meet these criteria may be
eligible for a tax credit of 100% of the first $2,000 of qualified expenses, plus 25% of the next $2,000. See a qualified tax advisor
for further details and requirements.
Details of the Lifetime Learning
Credit. The Lifetime Learning credit offers a maximum tax credit of $2,000, and applies to a broader set of circumstances than the
American Opportunity Tax Credit. However, you must have income tax payable for the particular year (ignoring tax withholding and estimated
tax payments) since no part of this credit is refundable. Beginning in 2021, the credit is phased out at the same income levels as the
American Opportunity Tax Credit. Specifically, the credit is available only if you are a single taxpayer whose modified adjusted gross
income isn’t over $80,000 ($160,000 for married taxpayers filing joint returns) - the credit is gradually reduced to $0 for incomes
up to $90,000 for single taxpayers ($180,000 for married filing jointly).
The Lifetime Learning Credit lets you claim
20% of the first $10,000 in qualified expenses you paid during the taxable year. This credit is per taxpayer and does not vary with the
number of students in the family. Expenses that are considered qualified for this credit include all those that are valid for the American
Opportunity Tax Credit (except course materials) as well as others, including the cost of any training at an eligible post-secondary school
to learn or improve job skills. This credit may be available regardless of how much college-level education the student has completed
and even if the student attends less than half-time. See a qualified tax advisor for further details and requirements.
Contributing to or Withdrawing from a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan
Account and a Coverdell ESA in the Same Year
You can contribute to your Fidelity Advisor
529 Plan Account and a Coverdell ESA for the same beneficiary in the same year without penalty; however, any constraints posed by gift
or GST tax or by the maximum contribution per Beneficiary will remain unchanged.
If you make withdrawals in a given year for
the same Beneficiary from both a 529 account and a Coverdell ESA, and if those withdrawals add up to more than the amount of the Beneficiary’s
qualified higher education expenses (not including any expenses that were used to claim an American Opportunity Tax Credit or Lifetime
Learning credit or were paid by any tax-free scholarship, grant or other assistance), then you must allocate the surplus withdrawal amount
between the two types of accounts with such excess amounts being treated as a non-qualified withdrawal from the respective accounts. See
a qualified tax advisor for further details and requirements.
Federal Financial Aid and Your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account
The impact of a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account
on federal financial aid depends on who the Participant is and the methodology used in calculating the student’s eligibility for
financial aid. This section provides some details that may be helpful to you in planning your education savings strategy.
Note that while the information below is based
on knowledge of the Higher Education Act as of the date this document was published, it is only a summary and is not intended as advice.
You may want to consult with a financial aid advisor or with the financial aid office at a particular school, to discuss how the federal
financial aid rules and methodology apply to your specific circumstances and because states, schools, and other non-federal financial
aid programs have their own rules and methodologies, which may be different.
Federal financial aid methodology and how
it works For federal financial aid, a student’s eligibility is based on the “cost of attendance” (which includes
tuition, fees, books, and, in some cases, room and board) minus the “student aid index” (SAI) (formerly known as “expected
family contribution (EFC)). A student’s SAI is based on the parents’ income and net assets (if the student is a dependent),
the student’s income and net assets, and the income and net assets of the student’s spouse (if the student is married). Income
or assets of grandparents or any other people are not considered.
In determining a student’s SAI, income
(both parental and student) is often the single largest factor, while assets are secondary. Parental retirement plans and certain other
categories of parental assets are entirely excluded from consideration. For those parental assets that are included, the percentage factored
is relatively low: between 3% and 5.6%. Assets of a student (and any spouse) are generally factored at the higher rate of 20%.
Assets are generally attributable to the student
if they are held in the student’s name or if the student is the named Beneficiary (such as custodial accounts). However, the College
Cost Reduction and Access Act (the “2007 Act”) includes provisions regarding the financial aid treatment of 529 accounts.
One of these provisions specifies that a 529 account will be considered an asset of the parent, if the student is a dependent student
and the Participant is the parent or student, or an asset of the student, if the student is the Participant and not a dependent student.
The 2007 Act described above also applies to both 529 savings plans and 529 prepaid tuition plans.
Your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account and
financial aid at foreign schools Your Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account can be used at accredited foreign schools that are eligible
to participate in the federal student loan program. At these schools, U.S. students are permitted, though not required, to apply for and
receive Federal Stafford Loans (subsidized or unsubsidized) and PLUS Loans. For information about whether a specific foreign school is
eligible for the federal student loan program or to find out more about financial aid generally, contact the school directly, or contact
DOE at 1-800-4-FED-AID (from overseas, call 319-337-5665) or visit the DOE web site at www.studentaid.gov or www.fafsa.gov.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FIDELITY ADVISOR 529 PLAN’S LEGAL AND BUSINESS STRUCTURE
The Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan was established
by the State of New Hampshire under section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows states and other entities to set up education
savings plans that offer certain tax advantages. The plan can be used by residents of any state to save money for the accredited college
of their choice. (Specifically, a school must meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. section 1088, as in effect on August 5, 1997, and be
eligible to participate in certain financial aid programs under the Higher Education Act of 1965, Title IV.)
The Trust
A trust, the New Hampshire Higher Education
Savings Plan Trust, serves as the vehicle for the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. The Trust was established on January 28, 1998, and its sole
Trustee is the Treasurer of the State of New Hampshire. The Trustee is supervised by the Advisory Commission, whose thirteen members include
state legislators, officials of New Hampshire institutions of higher education and state educational agencies, the state’s treasurer,
and persons appointed by the governor of New Hampshire. The Trust’s assets are held “in trust” for its Participants
and Beneficiaries.
Qualification as a 529 plan The Trust
intends to qualify as a “qualified tuition program” under section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualifying is essential
in order for Participants and Beneficiaries to realize the tax benefits that are made available under section 529. If the Trust should
ever fail to qualify, the Trustee is obligated either to change the Trust (and potentially the terms of its Participant agreements as
well) so that it does qualify, or to dissolve it and distribute its assets to the Participant, unless the Trustee determines that dissolving
the Trust is not in the Participant’s best interest.
Trust expenses The Trust has operating
expenses, such as for the services of the investment adviser, administrator, distributor, auditor, counsel, depository, custodian, accounting
and servicing agent, and any other agents, consultants, and independent contractors that the Trustee may consider necessary or proper
to incur. At least annually, the Trust and its Portfolios are audited by an independent certified public accountant selected by the Trustee.
Some of these expenses are borne by the service providers. Others are borne by the Trustee. None of them reduces the daily Unit value
of any Portfolio.
|
THE STATE’S ROLE: WHAT IT DOES AND DOESN’T DO |
|
New Hampshire does: |
|
● |
manage and operate the Trust |
|
● |
choose an independent public accountant to audit the Trust and Portfolios every year, and reviews the auditor’s report |
|
● |
set the dollar limit on maximum contributions each year, in response to federal law requiring 529 plan contributions not to exceed the anticipated cost of a Beneficiary’s higher education; the limit, which applies to residents of all states, currently is defined as seven times the cost of one year’s tuition, room/board, and fees at the most expensive school in New Hampshire, although the Plan may change the limit according to its interpretation of the law |
|
New Hampshire does not: |
|
● |
back the investments in your account with its faith and credit |
|
● |
promise that your account will not decrease in value, that it will increase in value, or that it will achieve any particular rate of return |
|
● |
guarantee that your child will be able to gain acceptance to, continue to attend, or graduate from any school or that he or she will be considered a resident of any particular state for tuition purposes |
|
● |
allow Participants and Beneficiaries any say in the management or operation of the Trust, including the selection of investments |
|
● |
make other guarantees of any type |
|
Likewise, Fidelity does not make any guarantees of any type. |

THE AGREEMENTS BEHIND THE FIDELITY ADVISOR 529 PLAN |
The features of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan as described in this Offering Statement reflect agreements between the State of New Hampshire and Fidelity Investments. These agreements currently run through the end of 2028, and may be extended in five-year increments by mutual agreement and with the approval of the state’s governor and executive council. |
Under the agreements, Fidelity can make certain changes to the Plan, including changing the investment guidelines, the Portfolio allocations, the types of Portfolios offered, and the funds they invest in. All major changes must be approved by the plan’s Trustee, with the advice and consent of the Advisory Commission. |
To protect your interest as a Participant, the State of New Hampshire retains the right to terminate these agreements in certain circumstances, including a breach of contract by Fidelity or if portfolio investment performance is substantially inferior to the performance of similar investments. |
Likewise, Fidelity can end the agreements if any legislation makes the continued operation of the Plan economically unsound or no longer in the best interests of Participants or Beneficiaries, or if any state entity or instrumentality connected with the Plan makes Fidelity’s involvement economically unsound. |
Note that if Fidelity’s agreements with the state should end for any reason, your investment will be protected by the terms of the Trust. However, in such a case, the Trustee is responsible for determining how the Plan’s assets should be invested. The Trustee may choose a new investment manager and may move each Portfolio’s assets to underlying mutual funds managed by another firm. |

Also, for a copy of Fidelity’s Privacy Policy, which governs the privacy of account owner and Beneficiary information, please go to https://www.fidelity.com/privacy-policy. |
The Portfolios and Their Units
Because the Trust is an instrumentality of
the State of New Hampshire, the Units it issues are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or any state securities
commission, and the Portfolios are not mutual funds. However, each portfolio is similar in construction to a “fund of funds.”
Money placed in a Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan Account purchases “Units” of the Portfolios, which are similar to mutual fund
shares. Because under federal law the Units are considered municipal securities, their sale is regulated by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board.
Each Portfolio is open for business each day
the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. However, the Portfolios will be closed for wire purchases and redemptions on days
when the Federal Reserve Wire System is closed.
Fidelity determines each Portfolio’s
Unit value as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, but earlier on scheduled half-days, during restrictions or suspensions
of trading, or in emergencies). To the extent that a Fidelity fund holds securities that trade when the NYSE is closed, a Portfolio’s
Unit value may be affected at times when investors are not able to buy or sell Units. Conversely, there may be days when the Portfolios
are open for business but certain securities in a Fidelity fund are not traded.
When you place an order to buy or sell Units,
your order, if deemed to be in good order by Fidelity, will be processed at the next Unit value to be calculated following receipt of
your payment.
CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE |
Because the Units of the Portfolios are considered municipal securities, the plan is required by law (specifically, Rule 15(c)2-12(b)(5) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to ensure that the trust files certain information every year. This includes certain financial information and operating data about the program as well as notices of the occurrence of certain milestone events. This information will be filed with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. |
Fidelity Distributors Company LLC is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB). The website for the SEC is www.sec.gov and for the MSRB is www.msrb.org. For a copy of the MSRB investor brochure that includes information on protections provided by the MSRB Rules and how to file a complaint with an appropriate regulatory authority, please visit the MSRB website at www.msrb.org. |

for those securities. Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Bloomberg U.S. Credit 1-3 Year Bond Index.
Normally maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity of three years or less. Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities. Investing in domestic
and foreign issuers. Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation,
and trading opportunities to select investments. Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments
in derivatives - such as swaps (interest rate, total return, and credit default), options, and futures contracts - and forward-settling
securities, to adjust the fund’s risk exposure. Investing in Fidelity’s central funds (specialized investment vehicles used
by Fidelity funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines).
Asset Allocation Funds
Fidelity
Asset Manager® 60%
Objective Seeks high total
return over the long term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, short-term instruments, and other investments.
Strategy Maintaining a
neutral mix over time of 60% of assets in stocks, 35% of assets in bonds, and 5% of assets in short-term and money market instruments
though FMR may overweight or underweight in each asset class. Allocating the fund’s assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term
and money market instruments, either through direct investment or by investing in Fidelity central funds that hold such investments.
Fidelity
Strategic Dividend & Income® Fund
Objective Seeks reasonable
income. The fund will also consider the potential for capital appreciation.
Strategy Normally investing
at least 80% of assets in equity securities by allocating assets among four general investment categories: common stocks, REITs and other
real estate related investments, convertible securities, and preferred stocks. The fund uses a neutral mix of approximately 50% common
stocks, 15% REITs and other real estate related investments, 15% convertible securities, and 20% preferred stocks. Investing the fund’s
assets with a focus on equity securities that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation, which tends to lead
to investments in “value” stocks in the common stock category. Potentially investing in other types of equity securities
and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield
debt securities or junk bonds).
Investing in domestic and foreign
issuers. Investing in Fidelity’s central funds (specialized investment vehicles used by Fidelity funds to invest in particular
security types or investment disciplines).
Fidelity Sustainable Multi-Asset
Fund
Objective Seeks total
return.
Strategy Normally investing
at least 80% of assets in Fidelity funds (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs)) that invest in securities of issuers
that Fidelity Management & Research Company (the Adviser) believes have proven or improving sustainability practices based on an
evaluation of such issuer’s individual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) profile and in Fidelity index funds that track
an ESG index (underlying Fidelity funds). Allocating assets according to a neutral asset allocation strategy in which 70% of the fund’s
assets are allocated to underlying Fidelity U.S. and international equity mutual funds and ETFs and 30% to underlying Fidelity bond mutual
funds and ETFs. To reflect the Adviser’s market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term, the Adviser may overweight
or under-weight each asset class within the following ranges: equity funds (60%-80%) and bond funds (20%-40%). The Adviser may invest
up to 10% of the fund’s total assets in commodities, high yield debt (also referred to as junk bonds), floating rate debt, real
estate debt, international debt, emerging markets debt or short-term funds, but no more than 25% in aggregate within those asset classes.
Buying and selling futures contracts (both long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently, remain fully invested,
or facilitate asset allocation. Actively managed underlying funds employ sustainable investing exclusion criteria to avoid investments
in issuers that are directly engage in, and/or derive significant revenue from, certain industries. As part of its investment approach,
the fund also applies broad criteria (“exclusion criteria”) that seek to exclude issuers that are directly engaged in, and/or
derive significant revenue from, certain industries or product lines. At present, these include: civilian semi-automatic firearms; tobacco
production, or bonds issued against the proceeds of tobacco settlements; for-profit prisons; controversial weapons (e.g. cluster munitions,
land mines, biological/chemical weapons, blinding lasers, and incendiary weapons); and coal production and/or mining. In determining
whether an issuer is directly engaged in, and/or derives significant revenue from a particular industry or product line, the fund may
use revenue thresholds (e.g., issuers that derive more than 5% of revenue from tobacco production) and/or categorical exclusions (e.g.,
issuers that derive any revenue from the operation of private prisons or issuers that are classified within the coal production or mining
industries), depending on the industry or product line, based generally on data provided by one or more third-party vendor(s). The Adviser,
in its sole discretion, retains the right not to use data provided by third-party vendors where it deems the data not representative
of an issuer’s current business operations. In such cases, or where data on specific issuers may not be available from third-party
vendors, the Adviser may make reasonable estimates or otherwise exercise its discretion. The fund’s exclusion criteria may be updated
periodically to, among other things, add or remove certain industries or product lines from the screening process, revise the revenue
thresholds and categorical exclusions applicable to such activities, or change particular industries or product lines from a categorical
exclusion to a revenue threshold, or vice versa. Once the Adviser determines that an issuer is not subject to the fund’s exclusion
criteria, the Adviser then
employs the sustainability strategy discussed above. In addition, the fund may invest in third-party investment
products (e.g., mutual funds, ETFs, and/or index futures) that apply different or no exclusion criteria or sustainable investment strategies.
The implementation of the sustainability strategy (or strategies) is conducted alongside traditional fundamental, bottom-up financial
analysis of individual issuers, using traditional fundamental metrics and/or traditional quantitative metrics. The Adviser may also engage
in dialogues with the issuer’s management teams to further inform investment decision-making and to foster best corporate governance
practices using its fundamental and sustainability analysis. In addition, the fund may invest in an issuer prior to completion of the
sustainability analysis or without engaging with the issuer’s management.
Main Investment Risks of the Funds
Risk Overview
Many factors affect a fund’s performance.
An equity or bond fund’s share price and (when applicable) yield change daily based on changes in market conditions and interest
rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. An equity or bond fund’s reaction to these developments
will be affected by the types and (when applicable) maturities of the securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry
and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that issuer.
Risks Common to Most Funds
The following factors can significantly affect
a given fund’s performance:
Stock market volatility The
value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity
prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities
can react differently to these developments. For example, large-cap stocks can react differently from small-cap stocks, and growth stocks
can react differently from value stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry
or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.
Interest rate changes Debt
and money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt or money
market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities, mortgage
securities, and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words,
the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security’s price. In
addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities
tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.
Commodity-linked instruments may react differently from other types of debt securities because the payment at maturity is based on the
movement of all or part of the commodities or commodities index.
Foreign exposure Foreign
securities, foreign currencies, securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations, and
Additional
Information, continued
securities for which an entity located in a
foreign country provides credit support or a maturity-shortening structure can involve additional risks relating to political, economic,
or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading,
settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign
markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid
than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market. Extensive public information about the
issuer or provider may not be available and unfavorable political economic or governmental developments could affect the value of the
security.
Emerging market exposure Investing
in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign
markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight
in emerging markets can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic,
regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less
liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.
Geographic concentration
Political and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country could significantly affect the market
in that country and in surrounding or related countries.
Industry Exposure. Market
conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group
of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other
developments. In addition, from time to time, a small number of companies may represent a large portion of a single industry or a group
of related industries as a whole, and these companies can be sensitive to adverse economic, regulatory, or financial developments.
The technology industries
can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, and competition
from new market entrants.
Financial services exposure
Companies in the financial services industries are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities
of issuers in the financial services industries can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic
downturns in the United States and abroad.
Prepayment Many types
of debt securities, including mortgage securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security
can repay principal prior to the security’s maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during
a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the
potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.
Issuer-specific changes
Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of
security or issuer, and changes in general
economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer’s
securities. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the
structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value. The value of securities of smaller, less
well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Smaller issuers can have more limited product lines, markets, or
financial resources. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities
tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes than higher-quality debt securities.
Lower-quality debt securities and certain types
of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of
lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments
and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt
securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate
for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.
Quantitative investing
The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments
than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the
weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security’s value. In addition, factors that affect a security’s
value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model.
Small cap investing The
value of securities of smaller, less wellknown issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers and can react differently to
issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller issuers can have more
limited product lines, markets and financial resources.
Growth investing Growth
stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, growth stocks
tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.
Value investing Value
stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, value stocks can
continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.
Defensive strategies In
response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes.
If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund’s performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The commodities industries
can be significantly affected by the level and volatility of commodity prices; world events including international monetary and
political developments; import
controls and worldwide competition;
exploration and production spending; and tax and other government regulations and economic conditions.
The real estate industry
is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry, including REITs, can
be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, and
the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In addition, the value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow
generated by the REIT, and REITs may not have diversified holdings. Because REITs are pooled investment vehicles that have expenses of
their own, the fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of those expenses.
Floating Rate Loans. Floating-rate
loans generally are subject to restrictions on resale and they sometimes trade infrequently in the secondary market, and as a result
may be more difficult to value, buy, or sell. A floating-rate loan might not be fully collateralized, which may cause the floating-rate
loan to decline significantly in value.
Inflation-Protected Debt Exposure.
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease. Increase in real interest rates can cause the price of
inflation-protected debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable. In addition,
non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of issuers tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market
as a whole.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical
Risks. Geopolitical and other events, including but not limited to pandemics and epidemics, may disrupt securities markets and adversely
affect global economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions could
adversely affect the value of a mutual fund’s investments.
Cyber Security Risk. The
risk that the use of internet, technology and information systems may result in potential risks linked to cyber security breaches of
those technological or information systems. Cyber security breaches, amongst other things, could allow an unauthorized party to gain
access to proprietary information, customer data, or cause data corruption or lose operational functionality.
Insurance Wrap Contract risks.
To the extent that a Portfolio is exposed to a wrap contract, the Portfolio is subject to (i) default by the wrap contract issuer
with the potential result of loss of principal should market value of securities backing the contract be less than book value of the
contract; (ii) costs incurred to buy the wrap contracts reduce the Portfolio’s return; (iii) a terminated wrap contract may be
replaced with a contract with less favorable terms or higher costs; (iv) poor market value performance of underlying securities may lead
a wrap issuer to exercise its right to terminate the contract; and (v) a wrap contract could terminate, resulting in a loss of book value
coverage.
Sustainability risk. Application
of ESG ratings process and/or its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may affect a fund’s exposure to certain issuers, sectors,
regions, and countries and may affect a fund’s performance depending on whether certain investments are in or out of favor. The
criteria related to a fund’s ESG ratings process and/or adherence to its sustainable investing exclusion criteria may result in
a fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities
when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for ESG
reasons when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. As a result, a fund’s performance may at times be better or
worse than the performance of funds that do not use ESG or sustainability criteria. There are significant differences in interpretations
of what it means for an issuer to have positive ESG factors. Socially responsible norms differ by country and region, and an issuer’s
ESG factors or an assessment of such may change over time. A fund may invest in issuers that do not reflect the beliefs and values of
any particular investor. When conducting the ESG ratings process of an issuer or compiling and maintaining the sustainable investing
exclusion list, there may be reliance on information or data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete,
inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause an incorrect assessment of an issuer’s business practices with respect to ESG or
to incorrectly include or exclude an issuer on or from its sustainable investing exclusion list. Certain investments may be dependent
on U.S. and foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies, which may change without notice. A fund’s investments
in certain issuers may be susceptible to various factors that may impact their businesses or operations, including costs associated with
government budgetary constraints that impact publicly funded projects and initiatives, the effects of general economic conditions throughout
the world, increased competition from other providers of services, unfavorable tax laws or accounting policies and high leverage.

Accounts Established through Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (Merrill)
The following information has been
furnished by Merrill. Neither the Plan Manager, the Distributor, nor Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan/Fidelity Investments has
independently verified such information.
If you establish or hold your Fidelity Advisor
529 Plan account on the Merrill omnibus platform (expected to be available in June 2024), the features and policies related to unit class
sales charges (including contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC), if any), unit class sales charge waivers or discounts, letters of intent
(LOI) and reinstatement privileges, and Class C unit conversion period will be different than referenced in the Plan Description and will
be governed by the Merrill 529 Account Unit Class Disclosure and Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) provided to you by Merrill prior to establishing
your account.
Except as described in this Merrill specific
section of the Program Description and the T&Cs, Merrill does not offer any initial sales charge discounts, CDSC waivers, LOI or reinstatement
privileges (the “Discounts, Waivers and Privileges”) in the 529 plans offered on the Merrill omnibus platform. To receive
the Discounts, Waivers, and Privileges not offered by Merrill, you will have to invest in the Plan directly or through another intermediary.
Before investing in the Plan through Merrill,
you should consider the potential benefits and importance to you of such Discounts, Waivers, and Privileges.
For additional information on the Discounts,
Waivers, and Privileges and Merrill’s policies, contact a Merrill advisor or refer to the T&C.
If you establish or hold your Plan account
on the Merrill omnibus platform, then the unit class your account will purchase will generally be based on your eligible assets or meeting
other eligibility criteria as set forth in the T&Cs. 529 plans offered by Merrill on its omnibus platform typically will have two
unit classes—Class A Unit and Class C Unit (or their equivalents)—each with its own fee and expense structure. Each account
will purchase a specific unit class when an initial or subsequent contribution is credited to the account. The unit class will be automatically
determined at the time of the contribution based on the participant’s eligible assets and/or meeting other eligibility criteria.
You will not be able to select the unit class. Among other things, Class C units (or their equivalents) will be automatically converted
to Class A units (not subject to an initial sales charge) after four years from their respective dates of purchase. If the Program Description
permits Class C units’ (or their equivalents’) conversion sooner than four years, such earlier conversion date will automatically
apply.
Please contact your Merrill advisor with
any questions or to request a copy of the T&Cs.

You understand that so long as FMRCo LLC serves as investment manager to the Trust, it will invest the assets of the Portfolios primarily or exclusively in Fidelity Series Funds, Fidelity Advisor Fund Class I, Fidelity Investments Money Market Government Portfolio, and Fidelity Government Cash Reserves mutual fund shares and a stable value separately-managed account that may invest in individual securities or actively-managed and/or index Fidelity mutual funds and investment contracts issued by third-party insurance companies or banks, and that any successor investment manager may invest in any mutual funds registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or other investments approved by the Trustee. You also understand that the assets in the Portfolios will be allocated among stock mutual funds, bond mutual funds and/or money market mutual funds while FMRCo LLC serves as investment manager of the Trust. |
|
|
You understand that there are four types of Portfolios. One type of Portfolio maintains a fixed allocation among equity, bond, and/or money market funds (Static Allocation Portfolio). A second type of Portfolio invests in a mix of mutual funds and becomes more conservative over time (Age-Based Portfolio). A third type of Portfolio invests in a single mutual fund (Individual Fund Portfolio). A fourth type of Portfolio holds a stable value separately-managed account that invests in individual securities or Fidelity mutual funds and investment contracts issued by third-party insurance companies or banks (Stable Value Portfolio). |

For the most current Portfolio allocations and benchmarks, you should call your investment professional. |

Check with your financial representative to determine if you are eligible for the waiver before initiating a rollover. |
|
|
Class A Units that are allocated to Portfolios that invest in a combination of underlying mutual funds, or a single underlying equity mutual fund or single underlying asset allocation mutual fund, or an insurance wrapped separate managed account will be subject to an additional fee accrued and computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.25%. |
|
|

For Class A Unit purchases of $1,000,000 or more that qualify for a full immediate sales charge waiver, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% will be assessed on Units that do not remain in a Portfolio for a period of at least one uninterrupted year. The contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to any amount attributable to (i) investment gains, (ii) redemptions used to pay for a Beneficiary’s qualified higher education expenses, or (iii) redemptions due to a Beneficiary’s death, disability, or receipt of a scholarship or attendance in a U.S. military academy. |

|
D. |
Class C Units are subject to a fee accrued and computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 1.00%, and if you redeem any such Class C Units within a year of purchase, you will also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of any amount withdrawn. |

Also, the contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to any such Class C Units purchased by exchanging other Class C Units. In such cases, the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to the originally purchased category of Class C Units will continue to apply instead. |
|
|
Any Class C Units purchased in your account will automatically convert to Class A Units five years from the date of the original purchase of such Class C Units. All conversions will be made on the basis of the relative net asset values of the two classes, without imposition of any sales load, fee, or other charge and will not count against the annual exchange limit. Intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of contingent deferred sales load waivers. A shorter holding period may also apply depending on your intermediary. Please see “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermediaries” in the “Appendix” section of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Offering Statement. |
