  Overview
Profile
The investment seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets index. The fund employs a passively managed investment approach by investing all or substantially all of assets in a representative sample of the common stocks included in the MSCI Emerging Markets index. This index includes approximately 781 common stocks of companies located in emerging markets around the world.
Risk*
Exchange-traded funds are subject to trading risks and will fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions domestically and abroad. When redeemed, you may gain or lose money. Each ETF has a unique risk profile which is detailed in the prospectus and should be considered carefully when making investment decisions. For example, you should only purchase a leveraged ETF if you understand the risks associated with leverage and its impact on long term performance, and understand that leveraged ETFs are not appropriate for a buy-and-hold strategy, and many are not designed to be held for more than a day or two before there may be negative impact on returns from the daily rebalancing process. Carefully consider the ETF's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, call or write to Fidelity for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.

1 Average annual total returns are historical and include change in share value and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Cumulative total returns are reported as of the period indicated. Life of fund figures are reported as of the commencement date to the period indicated.
2 Since ETFs are bought and sold at prices set by the market - which can result in a premium or discount to NAV- the return calculated for market price can differ from that calculated for NAV.
3 The top ten holdings, asset allocation, major market sectors and geographical diversification are presented to illustrate examples of the securities that the fund has bought and the diversity of areas in which the fund may invest and may not be representative of the fund's current or future investments. The top ten holdings do not include money market instruments and/or futures contracts. The figures presented are as of date shown, do not include the fund's entire investment portfolio and may change at any time.

Under the Asset Allocation section, "foreign" assets may be reported differently depending on how an investment option reports its holdings. Some do not report foreign holding here, but instead report them in a "Geographical Diversification" section. Some report them in this section as an addition to the equity, bond and other allocation shown. Others report "foreign" holdings as a subset of the equity and bond allocations shown. If the allocations without the foreign component equal (or round to) 100%, then "foreign" is a subset of the equity and bond percentage shown.
4 The chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the fund ten years ago or on commencement of operations (whichever is later). Figures include reinvestment of capital gains and dividends, but do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges or redemption fees, which would lower these figures. This chart is not intended to imply any future performance of the fund.

Please carefully consider the ETF's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, call or write to Fidelity for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.
