Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Market Recap:
For the 12 months ending June 30, 2024, an expanding global economy, as well as moves toward monetary easing and a slowing in the pace of inflation in some markets, contributed to a favorable backdrop for risk assets, despite geopolitical uncertainty. Easing inflation in the U.S. enabled the Federal Reserve and other key central banks to keep further increases in short-term interest rates on hold or initiate rate cuts, a stance that stoked investor sentiment. Against this backdrop, higher-risk assets saw particularly strong performance, with leveraged loans and U.S. high-yield bonds standing out along the credit spectrum. Broadly syndicated loan issuance recovered strongly through the first half of 2024, putting pressure on direct lending pricing and loan structures amid tightening spreads. Commercial mortgage-backed securities and emerging-markets debt also saw solid returns for the year. U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds gained only modestly amid a holding pattern by the Fed on policy interest rates, with weakness among government-backed securities moderating gains from corporate bonds and other credit-related assets.
Fidelity Multi-Strategy Credit Fund investment team:
For the annual reporting period, returns for the fund's share classes ranged from 7.60% to 8.68%, versus 10.99% for the Multi-Strategy Credit Composite Index, a customized 50/50 blend of the Morningstar LSTA US Performing Loans Index and the ICE BofA US High Yield Master II Index. On a gross basis, primary investments underperformed by 0.74%. The biggest contributor to relative performance were our holdings in direct lending via Fidelity Private Credit Fund, which anchors the fund's foundational credit allocation based on its attractive risk-reward characteristics through the credit cycle. Conversely, positions in U.S. Treasuries and individual holdings Oracle and Penn Entertainment were the fund's largest relative detractors. We continue to use our ability to invest across the credit spectrum to find and own ideas in preferred equity and convertible securities to supplement the fund's high-yield and leveraged loan positions.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2024
1. Organization.
Fidelity Multi-Strategy Credit Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 4, 2022. The Fund has elected to operate as an interval fund, and has the authority to issue an unlimited number of common shares at $.001 per share par value. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares, and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value, reduced by any applicable repurchase fee. The Fund does not currently intend to list its Shares for trading on any national securities exchange.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L common shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and capital appreciation through investments across a variety of high income-oriented asset classes including both liquid and illiquid securities. The Fund employs a multi-credit strategy that seeks to opportunistically rotate across the entire credit spectrum throughout the market cycle. The Fund will specifically seek to allocate investments based on the current and expected macro environment among (i) foundational credit, which includes direct lending and liquid credit (leveraged loans and high yield bonds), and (ii) opportunistic credit, which include stressed and distressed investments (distressed debt, special situations and rescue financing) and opportunistic investments (convertible bonds, preferred stock, real estate debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, investment grade bonds, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and emerging markets debt) (together, (Credit Instruments)). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in Credit Instruments. The Fund may invest in additional types of Credit Instruments and strategies in the future.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.

In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Investment in Fidelity Private Credit Fund.
The Fund invests in Class I of Fidelity Private Credit Fund (FPCF), which is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company which has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the 1940 Act. FPCF is managed by the Fund's investment adviser.
Based on its investment objective, FPCF may invest or participate in various investments or strategies that are similar to those in which the Fund may invest or participate. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of FPCF and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. FPCF's investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. FPCF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in directly originated loans to private companies but also in liquid credit investments, like broadly syndicated loans, and other select private credit investments. FPCF will generally seek to invest in loans that carry variable (i.e., floating) interest rates. Under normal circumstances, FPCF will invest at least 80% of its total assets in private credit investments. Specific private investments may include: (a) directly originated first lien loans, senior secured revolving lines of credit, term loans and delayed draw term loans, (b) directly originated second lien, last out senior, secured or unsecured mezzanine term loans and delayed draw term loans, (c) club deals (investments generally comprised from a small group of lenders), and broadly syndicated leveraged loans (investments generally arranged or underwritten by investment banks or other intermediaries), and (d) other debt (collectively referred to as Private Credit).
The Schedule of Investments lists FPCF as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of FPCF. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of FPCF. The annualized expense ratio for Class I of FPCF for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 was 6.67%.
4. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying funds but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing services or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, bank loan obligations, preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing services who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. Commercial mortgage securities are valued by pricing services who utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing services. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in below investment grade securities. The value of these securities can be more volatile due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer and is sensitive to changes in economic, market and regulatory conditions.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in underlying funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fidelity Private Credit Fund is valued at its net asset value (NAV) each month end and is categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of June 30, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Interest in the accompanying financial statements.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Organization and Offering Expenses. Organizational costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Delaware statutory trust, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Fund's organization. These costs were expensed as incurred by the Fund and were paid by Fidelity Diversifying Solutions LLC (the investment adviser) on behalf of the Fund as presented in the Statement of Operations. The Fund's initial offering costs include, among other things, legal, printing and other expenses pertaining to this offering. These initial offering costs are amortized over twelve months on a straight-line basis starting with the commencement of operations. Ongoing offering costs are expensed as incurred. All organizational and offering costs of the Fund paid by the investment adviser shall be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement as described in the Expense Reductions note.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, contingent interest, equity-debt classifications, certain conversion ratio adjustments, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation
$878,087

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. These instruments may be in the form of loans, trade claims or other receivables and may include standby financing commitments such as revolving credit facilities that obligate a fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loans may be acquired through assignment, participation, or may be made directly to a borrower. Such instruments are presented in the Bank Loan Obligations section in the Schedule of Investments. Certain funds may also invest in unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Information regarding unfunded commitments is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. The investment adviser and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee of 1.25% of average managed assets. Managed assets are defined as the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund's accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes). The investment adviser waives a portion of its management fee as described in the Expense Reductions note.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of each class's average net assets. Each class does not pay transfer agent fees with respect to the portion of its assets invested in other Fidelity-managed products. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. During the period, there were no interfund trades.
7. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's management fee with respect to the portion of the Fund's assets invested in Fidelity Private Credit Fund until October 31, 2025. During the period, this waiver reduced the Fund's management fee by $120,328.
The investment adviser and the Fund have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement, whereby the investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses of each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceed certain levels of class-level average net assets as presented in the table below. Ordinary operating expenses for each class include pricing and bookkeeping fees, transfer agent fees, organization and offering expenses, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, legal fees related to the organization and offering of the Fund (whether incurred by counsel to the Fund or the investment adviser), and related costs associated with legal, regulatory compliance and investor relations. Ordinary operating expenses for each class exclude the following: (1) management fee; (2) portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (including brokerage commissions, dealer and underwriter spreads, prime broker fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with the Fund's securities lending program, and dividend expenses related to short sales); (3) interest, financing and structuring costs and expenses for borrowings and line(s) of credit; (4) taxes; (5) the Fund's proportional share of expenses related to co investments; (6) acquired fund fees and expenses (including fees and expenses associated with a wholly owned subsidiary); (7) distribution and service plan fees, if any; (8) expenses of printing and mailing proxy materials to shareholders of the Fund; (9) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Fund's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; and (10) such non-recurring and/or extraordinary as may arise, including actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is or is threatened to be a party and the legal obligation that the Fund may have to indemnify the Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

In consideration of the investment adviser's agreement to waive its management fee and/or reimburse ordinary operating expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the investment adviser in the amount of any waived management fees and reimbursed operating expenses for each class subject to the limitation that a reimbursement will be made only if and to the extent that: (i) it is payable not more than three years from the date on which the applicable waiver or expense payment was made by the investment adviser; and (ii) the investment adviser recoupment does not cause total annual operating expenses (on an annualized basis and net of any reimbursements received during such fiscal year) during the applicable quarter to exceed the expense limitation for each class; provided that the investment adviser may waive its right to receive all or a portion of any recoupment in any particular calendar month. The Fund's obligation to make investment adviser recoupment shall automatically become a liability of the Fund on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the investment adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month. The investment adviser recoupment for each class will not cause operating expenses for that class to exceed the expense limitation either (i) at the time of the waiver or (ii) at the time of recoupment. During the period, there was no investment adviser recoupment.
This Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in place through October 31, 2025.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $2,278.

10. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

11. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders of Fidelity Multi-Strategy Credit Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Multi-Strategy Credit Fund (the "Fund"), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from May 19, 2023 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2023, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from May 19, 2023 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. If the interests of the fund and an underlying Fidelity® fund were to diverge, a conflict of interest could arise and affect how the Trustees and Members of the Advisory Board fulfill their fiduciary duties to the affected funds. Fidelity Diversifying Solutions LLC (FDS) has structured the fund to avoid these potential conflicts, although there may be situations where a conflict of interest is unavoidable. In such instances, FDS, the Trustees, and Members of the Advisory Board would take reasonable steps to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the conflict. Each of the Trustees oversees 13 funds.
The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee. Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.
The fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you're an individual investing directly with Fidelity, call 1-800-835-5092 if you're a plan sponsor or participant with Fidelity as your recordkeeper or call 1-877-208-0098 on institutional accounts or if you're an advisor or invest through one.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Board of Trustees also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Board of Trustees. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.
In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.
Board Structure and Oversight Function. David B. Jones is an interested person and currently serves as Chair. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chair is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chair has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chair, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chair and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session.
Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's alternative investment funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, high income, and equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.
The Trustees primarily operate as a full Board, but have also established one standing committee, the Audit Committee, to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board has charged FDS and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FDS, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. Board oversight of different aspects of the fund's activities is exercised primarily through the full Board, but also through the Audit Committee. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FDS's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board and Audit Committee, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee, including its oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Fund has adopted an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which the Fund will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of Shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Fund declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then Shareholders who have not opted out of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional Shares will be credited to each participating Shareholder's account to three decimal places.
No action is required on the part of a registered Shareholder to have his, her or its cash dividend or other distribution reinvested in Shares. Shareholders can elect to "opt out" of the DRP.
If any Shareholder initially elects not to participate, they may later become a participant by contacting Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC, including any delegate (the "Plan Administrator"), at alternatives@fmr.com. Participation in the DRP will begin with the next distribution payable after acceptance of a participant's subscription. Shares will be purchased under the DRP as of the first calendar day of the month following the record date of the distribution.
If a Shareholder seeks to terminate its participation in the DRP, notice of termination must be received by the Plan Administrator five business days in advance of the first calendar day of the next month in order for a Shareholder's termination to be effective for such month. Any transfer of Shares by a participant to a non-participant will terminate participation in the DRP with respect to the transferred Shares. If a participating Shareholder elects to tender its Shares in full pursuant to a repurchase offer and such full tender is accepted by the Fund, any Shares issued to it under the Plan subsequent to the expiration of the repurchase offer will be considered part of its prior tender, and the Shareholder's participation in the Plan will be terminated as of the expiration date of the applicable repurchase offer. Any distributions to be paid to such Shareholder on or after such date will be paid in cash on the scheduled distribution payment date.
If a Shareholder elects to opt out of the DRP, the Shareholder will receive any distributions the Fund declares in cash. There will be no sales load charged for Shareholders to participate in the DRP. If Shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary, a Shareholder may change his, her or its election by notifying the broker or other financial intermediary of the election.
The purchase price for Shares purchased under the DRP will be equal to the most recent available NAV per Share for such Shares at the time the distribution is payable. Shares issued pursuant to the DRP will have the same voting rights as the Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus. Shareholders will not pay transaction related charges when purchasing Shares under the DRP, but all outstanding Class A, Class C, and Class L Shares, including those purchased under the DRP, will be subject to ongoing distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees. Shares acquired through the Fund's DRP, reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
All correspondence concerning the DRP should be directed to the Plan Administrator at alternatives@fmr.com. Certain transactions can be performed by calling the number 817-474-1001.
