To the Shareholders of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund:
Enclosed is important information concerning your investment in Fidelity Global High Income Fund. We wish to inform you that the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Fidelity Summer Street Trust (the Trust), after careful consideration, has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund to Fidelity High Income Fund, a series of the Trust, that has the same investment objective and somewhat similar investment strategies, in exchange solely for corresponding shares of beneficial interest of Fidelity High Income Fund and the assumption by Fidelity High Income Fund of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund’s liabilities, in complete liquidation of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund.
The attached combined Prospectus/Information Statement describes the Reorganization in greater detail and contains important information about Fidelity® High income Fund. The Board believes that this Reorganization will benefit shareholders.
Following the close of business on September 13, 2024, Fidelity Global High Income Fund will be reorganized into Fidelity High Income Fund.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. THE TRANSACTION WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY ACTION ON YOUR PART. Shareholder approval of the merger is not required because the differences between Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund do not mandate shareholder approval under Rule 17a-8(a)(3) under the 1940 Act. You will automatically receive shares of Fidelity High Income Fund in exchange for your shares of Fidelity Global High Income Fund as of the closing date. If, after reviewing the information contained in the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement, you do not wish to receive shares of the Fidelity High Income Fund pursuant to the Reorganization, you may redeem your shares of the Fidelity Global High Income Fund at any time prior to the close of business on September 13, 2024. Keep in mind that any such redemption may have tax consequences and you should consult your tax advisor.

INFORMATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS
MAY 20, 2024
This combined Information Statement and Prospectus (Information Statement) is furnished to shareholders of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund, a series of Fidelity Summer Street Trust (the trust), in connection with a separate Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) for Fidelity Global High Income Fund that has been approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of the trust.

When the Reorganization occurs, each shareholder of Fidelity Global High Income Fund will become a shareholder of Fidelity® High Income Fund. Fidelity Global High Income Fund will transfer all of its assets to Fidelity High Income Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Fidelity High Income Fund and the assumption by Fidelity High Income Fund of Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s liabilities in complete liquidation of the fund. The total value of your fund holdings will not change as a result of the Reorganization. The Reorganization is currently scheduled to take place as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) on September 13, 2024, or such other time and date as the parties may agree (the Closing Date).
Fidelity High Income Fund (together with Fidelity Global High Income Fund, the funds), a high income fund, is a diversified series of Fidelity Summer Street Trust, an open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

Exhibit 1. Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of Fidelity Global High Income Fund | 31 |
4
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement, in the Agreement, and/or in the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund, which are incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders should read the entire Information Statement and the Prospectus of Fidelity High Income Fund carefully for more complete information.
What is involved in the Reorganization?
As more fully described in “The Transaction” below, the Board of the trust has approved the Reorganization of Fidelity Global High Income Fund into Fidelity High Income Fund, a series of the trust. You are receiving this Information Statement because you are a shareholder of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and will be impacted by the Reorganization.
When the Reorganization occurs, each shareholder of Fidelity Global High Income Fund will become a shareholder of Fidelity High Income Fund instead. Fidelity Global High Income Fund will transfer all of its assets to Fidelity High Income Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Fidelity High Income Fund and the assumption by Fidelity High Income Fund of Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s liabilities in complete liquidation of the fund. Each shareholder of Fidelity Global High Income Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of Fidelity High Income Fund. The Reorganization is currently scheduled to take place as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date.
For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Transaction – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”
Has the Board of Trustees approved the Reorganization?
Yes. The fund’s Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed and approved the Agreement and the Reorganization.
What am I being asked to vote on?
Because Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act does not require shareholder approval under these conditions, we are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us one.
What are the reasons for the Reorganization?
The Board of Trustees considered the following factors, among others, in determining to approve the Agreement:
| • | The Reorganization will permit Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders to pursue the same investment objective and somewhat similar investment strategies in a larger fund with better long-term viability and lower expenses. |
| • | Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders are expected to benefit from a lower management fee rate for each class, with projected rates expected to decrease by 12 to 13 basis points, depending on the class, due to the benefit of Fidelity High Income Fund’s lower fee schedule and larger asset base, which drives a greater discount under the funds’ unified fee structure for classes not operating at the maximum rate. |
| • | The Agreement contains provisions designed to protect shareholders from dilution. |
| • | The Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. |
For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Transaction – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
How will you determine the number of shares of Fidelity High Income Fund that I will receive?
Although the number of shares you own will most likely change, the total value of your holdings will not change as a result of the Reorganization. As provided in the Agreement, Fidelity Global High Income Fund will distribute shares of Fidelity High Income Fund to its shareholders so that each shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity High Income Fund equal in value to the net asset value of shares of Fidelity Global High Income Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date.
For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Transaction – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”
What class of shares of Fidelity High Income Fund will I receive?
Holders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund (Retail Class), Class A, Class M, Class C and Class I shares of Fidelity Global High Income Fund will receive Fidelity High Income Fund (Retail Class), Class A, Class M, Class C and Class I shares of Fidelity High Income Fund, respectively.
Is the Reorganization considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?
No. Each fund will receive an opinion of counsel that the Reorganization will not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to either fund or to the shareholders of either fund, except that a fund may recognize gain or loss with respect to assets (if any) that are subject to “mark-to-market” tax accounting. In addition, any portfolio adjustments to the funds may result in net realized gains which may need to be distributed in the form of taxable distributions to shareholders before and/or after the date of the Reorganization.

For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Transaction – Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
How do the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, policies, and limitations compare?
The funds have the same investment objective. Each fund seeks a high level of current income. Growth of capital may also be considered. Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and does not require shareholder approval to change. Fidelity High Income Fund’s investment object is fundamental and may only be changed with shareholder approval.
Although the funds have somewhat similar principal investment strategies, there are some differences of which you should be aware. The following compares the principal investment strategies of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund:
Fidelity Global High Income Fund | Fidelity High Income Fund | |
| The Adviser normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging markets. Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting the Adviser’s ability to resell securities to the general public. The Adviser may also invest the fund’s assets in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. The Adviser may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganization or financial restructurings. The proportions of the fund’s assets invested in each type of security vary based on the Adviser’s interpretation of economic conditions and underlying security values. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics. Emerging markets tend to have relatively low gross national product per capita compared to the world’s major economies and may have the potential for rapid economic growth. | The Adviser normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds). Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting the Adviser’s ability to resell the securities to the general public. The Adviser may also invest the fund’s assets in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. The Adviser currently intends to limit common stocks to 10% of the fund’s total assets. The Adviser may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings. | |
| No corresponding principal strategy. | The Adviser uses the credit quality distribution of an index representing the overall high yield bond market as a guide in structuring the fund’s credit quality composition. As of April 30, 2023, the Adviser used the ICE BofA US High Yield Constrained Index to represent the overall high yield bond market. | |
| The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s investments across different countries and regions. | The Adviser may invest the fund’s assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. | |
| Although the fund will invest in securities of issuers located throughout the world, it may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of U.S. issuers. | No corresponding principal strategy. | |
| The Adviser allocates the fund’s assets among four markets: U.S. high yield; emerging markets debt; European high yield; and Asian high yield. The fund’s neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of investments in each category over time, is 60% U.S. high yield, 20% emerging markets debt, 15% European high yield, and 5% Asian high yield. The Adviser periodically reviews, and may change, the fund’s neutral weightings. | No corresponding principal strategy. | |
| The Adviser may adjust the fund’s allocation among markets within the following ranges: U.S. high yield (40%-80%); emerging markets debt (5%-35%); European high yield (0%-30%); and Asian high yield (0%-10%). | No corresponding principal strategy. | |
6
Fidelity Global High Income Fund | Fidelity High Income Fund | |
| In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors and evaluates each security’s current price relative to its estimated long-term value. | In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include a security’s structural features and current price compared to its long-term value, and the earnings potential, credit standing, and management of the security’s issuer. | |
For a comparison of the principal risks associated with the funds’ principal investment strategies, please refer to the section entitled “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors.”
Although the funds have substantially similar fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and limitations, there are some differences of which you should be aware. The following summarizes the investment policy and limitation differences between Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund:
Fidelity Global High Income Fund | Fidelity High Income Fund | |
| Fundamental policies and limitations (subject to change only by shareholder vote) | Fundamental policies and limitations (subject to change only by shareholder vote) | |
| No corresponding policy. | Pooled Funds. The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by FMR or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund. | |
| Non-Fundamental Policies and Limitations | Non-Fundamental Policies and Limitations | |
| No corresponding policy. | Pooled Funds. The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by FMR or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund. | |
Except as noted above, the funds have the same fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and limitations.
For more information about the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, policies, and limitations, please refer to the “Investment Details” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Investment Policies and Limitations” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Following the Reorganization, the combined fund will be managed in accordance with the investment objective, strategies, policies, and limitations of Fidelity High Income Fund.

For information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by a fund’s portfolio manager(s), please refer to the “Management Contract(s)” section of each fund’s Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
Each class of each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month. When determining a class’s management fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once the fund’s monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class.
The annual management fee rate for each class of shares of each fund is the lesser of (1) the class’s mandate rate reduced by the class’s discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount listed below:
| Fidelity Global High Income Fund | ||
| Fidelity Global High Income Fund | 0.83% | |
| Fidelity Advisor Global High Income Fund - Class A | 0.85% | |
| Fidelity Advisor Global High Income Fund - Class M | 0.85% | |
| Fidelity Advisor Global High Income Fund - Class C | 0.85% | |
| Fidelity Advisor Global High Income Fund - Class I | 0.85% | |
| Fidelity High Income Fund | ||
| Fidelity High Income Fund | 0.67% | |
| Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Class A | 0.71% | |
8
| Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Class M | 0.72% | |
| Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Class C | 0.74% | |
| Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Class I | 0.76% | |
| Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Class Z | 0.61% |
One-twelfth of the management fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the management fee for the class for that month.
A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of a fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of a fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for each fund is available in the fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2023 and will be available in the fund’s annual report for the fiscal period ended April 30, 2024.
The combined fund will retain Fidelity High Income Fund’s management fee structure.
For more information about fund management, please refer to the “Fund Management” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Control of Investment Advisers” and “Management Contracts” sections of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FMR has contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I, and Retail Class of Fidelity Global High Income Fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees, proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses (including fees and expenses associated with a wholly owned subsidiary), if any, as well as non-operating expenses such as brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the fund’s securities lending program, if applicable), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.05%, 1.05%, 1.80%, 0.80%, and 0.80% through August 31, 2024 (the Expense Caps).
Distribution of Fund Shares
The principal business address of FDC, each fund’s principal underwriter and distribution agent, is 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island, 02917.
Fidelity Global High Income Fund (Retail Class) and Fidelity High Income Fund (Retail Class) have each adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. A fund’s Distribution and Service Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those that are to be made to FMR under the fund’s management contract.
Class A, Class M, Class C, and Class I of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund have each adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
Class A of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class A of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class A of each fund may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class A’s average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class A shareholders to do so.
In addition, pursuant to each Class A plan, Class A of each fund pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class A’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

Class M of each fund may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not approved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class M’s average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class M shareholders to do so.
In addition, pursuant to each Class M plan, Class M of each fund pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class M’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.

In addition, pursuant to each Class C plan, Class C of each fund pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class C’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support services.
Class I of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class I shares and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Class I.
The Distribution and Service Plans for the combined fund will remain unchanged.

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS
Many factors affect each fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. A fund’s share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of 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. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.
The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds. Because the funds have identical investment objectives and somewhat similar strategies as described above, the funds are subject to substantially similar investment risks. Because the funds have some different principal investment strategies as described above, the funds are also subject to some different investment risks, of which you should be aware.
What risks are associated with an investment in both of the funds?
Each fund is subject to the following principal risks:
| • | Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments. |
| • | Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease. |
| • | Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. |
| • | Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. |
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
What additional risks are associated with an investment in Fidelity Global High Income Fund?
Fidelity Global High Income Fund is subject to the following additional Foreign Exposure risk in light of its principal investment strategy related to investments in emerging markets, which is not part of the Foreign Exposure risk generally associated with an investment in Fidelity High Income Fund:
The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors.
Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
For more information about the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds, please refer to the “Investment Details” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Investment Policies and Limitations” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

How do the funds compare in terms of their performance?
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the funds. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of each fund’s shares from year to year and compares the performance of each fund’s shares to the performance of a securities market index and, for Fidelity Global High Income, a hypothetical composite of market indexes over various periods of time. The index descriptions appear in the “Additional Index Information” section of the funds’ Prospectuses. Past performance (before and after taxes, if applicable) is not an indication of future performance.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing, 401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN FIDELITY GLOBAL HIGH INCOME FUND AND FIDELITY HIGH INCOME FUND.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Information Statement.
The Agreement contemplates (a) Fidelity High Income Fund acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund in exchange solely for shares of Fidelity High Income Fund and the assumption by Fidelity High Income Fund of Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Fidelity High Income Fund to the shareholders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s assets to be acquired by Fidelity High Income Fund and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Fidelity High Income Fund will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Fidelity High Income Fund’s then-current Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Fidelity High Income Fund will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information.
As of the Closing Date, Fidelity High Income Fund will deliver to Fidelity Global High Income Fund, and Fidelity Global High Income Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Fidelity High Income Fund so that each Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity High Income Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Fidelity Global High Income Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Fidelity Global High Income Fund will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder’s account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity High Income Fund due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Fidelity High Income Fund will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder’s interest.
19
Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Fidelity High Income Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Fidelity Global High Income Fund as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Fidelity Global High Income Fund is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Fidelity Global High Income Fund is liquidated.
FMR will bear a portion of the one-time administrative costs associated with the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, which will consist principally of printing and mailing Prospectuses and the Information Statement.
In connection with the Reorganization, FMR will sell a portion of the securities held by Fidelity Global High Income Fund and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund, respectively, notwithstanding the contractual expense caps in place with respect to each class of Fidelity Global High Income Fund. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Fidelity High Income Fund that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Fidelity High Income Fund. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments.
The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner.
Reasons for the Reorganization
In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board of Trustees (the Board) considered a number of factors, including the following:
| (1) | the compatibility of the investment objectives, strategies, and policies of the funds; |
| (2) | the historical performance of the funds; |
| (3) | the fees and expenses and the relative expense ratios of the funds; |
| (4) | the potential benefit of the Reorganization to shareholders of the funds; |
| (5) | the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization; |
| (6) | the tax consequences of the Reorganization; |
| (7) | the relative size of the funds; and |
| (8) | the potential benefit of the Reorganization to FMR and its affiliates. |
In proposing the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board that the Reorganization would permit Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders to pursue the same investment objective and somewhat similar investment strategies in a larger, equally-rated fund with better long-term viability and lower expenses. The Board also considered that Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders are expected to benefit from a lower management fee rate for each class, with projected rates expected to decrease 12 to 13 basis points, depending on the class due to the benefit of Fidelity High Income Fund’s lower fee schedule and larger asset base, which drives a greater discount under the funds’ unified fee structure for classes not operating at the maximum rate. The Board considered that Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders are expected benefit from an expense reduction of approximately 5 to 10 basis points excluding acquired fund fees and expenses (AFFE), depending on the class. The Board further considered, that although the expenses of each class of Fidelity Global High Income Fund are expected to increase by 4 to 9 basis points after reflecting the impact of AFFE from Fidelity High Income Fund’s investment in the Fidelity Private Credit Central Fund (a business development company), Fidelity believes Fidelity High Income Fund’s investment in this central fund provides the fund additional opportunities to outperform and enhance risk-adjusted returns. The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.
Each fund’s Board carefully reviewed the proposal and determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either fund.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
Holders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund (Retail Class), Class A, Class M, Class C and Class I shares of Fidelity Global High Income Fund will receive, respectively, Fidelity High Income Fund (Retail Class) Class A, Class M, Class C and Class I shares of Fidelity High Income Fund.
Fidelity High Income Fund is a series of the trust. The Trustees of the trust are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Fidelity High Income Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Fidelity High Income Fund is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of Fidelity High Income Fund is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares of Fidelity High Income Fund have no preemptive rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the “Description of the Trust(s) – Shareholder Liability” section of the fund’s Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
20
The trust does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust’s outstanding shares.
For more information about voting rights and dividend rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust(s) – Voting Rights” and the “Distributions and Taxes” sections, respectively, of Fidelity High Income Fund’s Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference. For more information about redemption rights and exchange privileges, please refer to the “Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares” and the “Exchanging Shares” sections, respectively, of Fidelity High Income Fund’s Prospectuses, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a general summary of some of the important U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization and is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the existing U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and published judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. These considerations are general in nature and apply with respect to Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders that have their Fidelity Global High Income Fund shares exchanged for Fidelity High Income Fund shares. Individual shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax considerations applicable to them and their individual circumstances.
The exchange of Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s assets for Fidelity High Income Fund’s shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Fidelity Global High Income Fund by Fidelity High Income Fund is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. With respect to the Reorganization, the participating funds will receive an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund, substantially to the effect that:
(i) The acquisition by Fidelity High Income Fund of substantially all of the assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund in exchange solely for Fidelity High Income Fund shares and the assumption by Fidelity High Income Fund of all liabilities of Fidelity Global High Income Fund followed by the distribution of Fidelity High Income Fund shares to the Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders in exchange for their Fidelity Global High Income Fund shares in complete liquidation and termination of Fidelity Global High Income Fund will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;
(ii) Fidelity Global High Income Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Fidelity High Income Fund in exchange solely for Fidelity High Income Fund shares and the assumption by Fidelity High Income Fund of all liabilities of Fidelity Global High Income Fund, except that Fidelity Global High Income Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;
(iii) Fidelity Global High Income Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Fidelity High Income Fund shares received by Fidelity Global High Income Fund in the Reorganization;
(iv) Fidelity High Income Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund in exchange solely for Fidelity High Income Fund shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Fidelity Global High Income Fund;
(v) The adjusted basis to Fidelity High Income Fund of the assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund received by Fidelity High Income Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Fidelity Global High Income Fund immediately before the exchange;
(vi) Fidelity High Income Fund’s holding periods with respect to the assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund that Fidelity High Income Fund acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were held by Fidelity Global High Income Fund (except where investment activities of Fidelity High Income Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vii) The Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Fidelity High Income Fund shares in exchange solely for Fidelity Global High Income Fund shares;
(viii) The aggregate basis of the Fidelity High Income Fund shares received by a Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Fidelity Global High Income Fund shares surrendered by the Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder in exchange therefor; and
(ix) A Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder’s holding period for the Fidelity High Income Fund shares received by the Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder held Fidelity Global High Income Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion will be expressed as to the tax consequences of the Reorganization on contracts or securities on which gain or loss is recognized upon the transfer of an asset regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a nonrecognition transaction under the Code. None of the Funds have requested or will request an advance ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences
21
of the Reorganization. The opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts and is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the Reorganization will be as described above. If the Reorganization were consummated but the IRS or the courts were to determine that the Reorganization did not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code and thus were taxable, then Fidelity Global High Income Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to Fidelity High Income Fund, and each Fidelity Global High Income Fund shareholder that held shares in a taxable account would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Fidelity Global High Income Fund shares and the fair market value of the Fidelity High Income Fund shares it received.
The Reorganization is expected to end the tax year of Fidelity Global High Income Fund, which could accelerate distributions to shareholders from Fidelity Global High Income Fund for its short tax year ending on the Closing Date. On or before the Closing Date, Fidelity Global High Income Fund may declare one or more distributions to its shareholders, which together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), net tax-exempt income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, through the Closing Date (including any gains attributable to portfolio repositioning prior to the Reorganization). Any of the foregoing distributions may be taxable.
The table below shows each fund’s approximate net assets, net realized gains/losses (including capital loss carryforwards) and net unrealized gains/losses as of January 31, 2024. Assuming the Reorganization qualifies as a tax-free reorganization as expected, Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s unrealized gains/losses and net realized losses (if any) at the time of the Reorganization will generally carryover to Fidelity High Income Fund in the Reorganization. The Reorganization could trigger tax rules that would impose an annual limit on Fidelity High Income Fund’s ability to use Fidelity Global High Income Fund’s net realized and/or net unrealized losses (if any at the time of the Reorganization) to offset gains following the Reorganization.
Tax Position as of January 31, 2024 ($M)

Fidelity High Income Fund | April 30 | $ | 2,667.5 | $ | (739.4 | ) | $ | (111.1 | ) | |||||||||||||
Shareholders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state, local and foreign tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.
Forms of Organization
Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund are each diversified series of the trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 23, 1977. The trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of a Massachusetts business trust, governed by the same Declaration of Trust, the rights of the security holders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganization.
For more information regarding shareholder rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust(s)” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Operations of Fidelity High Income Fund Following the Reorganization
FMR does not expect Fidelity High Income Fund to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to Fidelity High Income Fund’s management or to entities that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other entities will continue to serve Fidelity High Income Fund in their current capacities. Jared Beckerman, Benjamin Harrison and Alexandre Karam, who are currently Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity High Income Fund, are expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.
Capitalization
The following table shows the capitalization of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund as of October 31, 2023, and on a pro forma combined basis (unaudited) as of that date giving effect to the Reorganization. As of October 31, 2023, the net assets of Fidelity Global High Income Fund were $71,989,574, or 2.8% of Fidelity High Income Fund.

The table above assumes that the Reorganization occurred on October 31, 2023. The table is for information purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many Fidelity High Income Fund shares will be received by shareholders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund on the date that the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Fidelity High Income Fund that actually will be received on or after that date.
Conclusion
The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust at a meeting held on March 6, 2024. The Board of Trustees determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of Fidelity Global High Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization does not occur, Fidelity Global High Income Fund will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees of the trust may consider other proposals for the Reorganization or liquidation of the fund.

This Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a plan of Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Reorganization will comprise: (a) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for shares of beneficial interest in the Acquiring Fund (the Acquiring Fund Shares) and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities; and (b) the constructive distribution of such shares by the Acquired Fund pro rata to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of the Acquired Fund, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The foregoing transactions are referred to herein as the “Reorganization.”
In consideration of the mutual promises and subject to the terms and conditions herein, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

(c) The Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of the Acquired Fund dated June 29, 2023, as supplemented, previously furnished to the Acquiring Fund, did not and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(d) Except as disclosed in writing to the Acquiring Fund, there are no material legal, administrative, or other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Acquired Fund, threatened against the Acquired Fund which assert liability on the part of the Acquired Fund. The Acquired Fund knows of no facts which might reasonably form the basis for the institution of such proceedings, except as otherwise disclosed to the Acquiring Fund;
(e) The Acquired Fund is not in, and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not result in, violation of any provision of its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust or By-laws, or, to the knowledge of the Acquired Fund, of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, or other undertaking to which the Acquired Fund is a party or by which the Acquired Fund is bound or result in the acceleration of any obligation or the imposition of any penalty under any agreement, judgment or decree to which the Acquired Fund is a party or is bound;
(f) The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Statement of Operations, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Financial Highlights, and the Schedule of Investments (including market values) of the Acquired Fund at April 30, 2023, have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and have been furnished to the Acquiring Fund together with such unaudited financial statements and schedule of investments (including market values) for the six month period ended October 31, 2023.

Supplement to the
Fidelity® Global High Income Fund and
Fidelity® High Income Fund
Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I, and Class Z
June 29, 2023
As Revised November 8, 2023
Prospectus
Reorganization. The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Summer Street Trust has unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Agreement”) between Fidelity® Global High Income Fund and Fidelity® High Income Fund.
Each fund seeks a high level of current income. Growth of capital may also be considered.
As a result of the proposed Reorganization, shareholders of each class of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund would receive shares of the corresponding class of Fidelity® High Income Fund.
The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund in exchange for corresponding shares of Fidelity® High Income Fund equal in value to the net assets of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund and the assumption by Fidelity® High Income Fund of all of the liabilities of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund. After the exchange, Fidelity® Global High Income Fund will distribute the Fidelity® High Income Fund shares to its shareholders pro rata, in liquidation of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund. As a result, shareholders of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund will become shareholders of Fidelity® High Income Fund (these transactions are collectively referred to as the “Reorganization”).
Shareholders of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund will receive a combined information statement and prospectus containing more information with respect to the Reorganization, and a summary of the Board’s considerations in approving the Agreement.
The Reorganization, which does not require shareholder approval, is expected to take place on or about September 13, 2024. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction. This means that neither Fidelity® Global High Income Fund nor its shareholders will recognize any gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization.
Effective the close of business on March 22, 2024, new positions in Fidelity® Global High Income Fund (the fund) may no longer be opened. Shareholders of the fund on that date may continue to add to their fund positions existing
on that date. Investors who did not own shares of the fund on March 22, 2024, generally will not be allowed to buy shares of the fund except that new fund positions may be opened: 1) by participants in most group employer retirement plans (and their successor plans) if a qualifying fund is already established as an investment option under the plans (or under another plan sponsored by the same employer), 2) by participants in a 401(a) plan covered by a master record keeping services agreement between Fidelity and a national federation of employers that included a qualifying fund as a core investment option, 3) for accounts managed on a discretionary basis by certain registered investment advisers that have discretionary assets of at least $500 million invested in mutual funds and already included the fund in their discretionary account program, 4) by a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which Fidelity serves as investment manager, 5) by a portfolio manager of the fund, 6) by a fee deferral plan offered to trustees of certain Fidelity® funds, if the fund is an investment option under the plan, and 7) by qualified intermediaries to facilitate in-kind redemption activity when deemed by the Adviser to be in the best interests of the fund, and 8) by certain asset pools associated with an organization that already offers a qualifying fund as an investment option in its retirement plan(s). These restrictions generally will apply to investments made directly with Fidelity and investments made through intermediaries. Investors may be required to demonstrate eligibility to buy shares of the fund before an investment is accepted.
Effective after the close of business on May 20, 2024, new positions in the fund may no longer be opened. Existing shareholders may continue to hold their shares and purchase additional shares through the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions until the fund’s liquidation.
In connection with the Reorganization, an information statement/prospectus that will be included in a registration statement on Form N-14 will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. After the registration statement is filed with the SEC, it may be amended or withdrawn and the information statement/prospectus will not be distributed to shareholders of Fidelity® Global High Income Fund unless and until the registration statement becomes effective. Shareholders should read the information statement/ prospectus, which contains important information about the Reorganization, when it becomes available. For a free copy of the information statement/ prospectus, please contact Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098. The information statement/prospectus will also be available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
For more detailed information, please contact Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Purchasers will have to buy mutual fund shares directly from the mutual fund company or through another intermediary to be eligible for waivers or discounts not listed below.
It is the client’s responsibility to notify Merrill at the time of purchase or sale of any relationship or other facts that qualify the transaction for a waiver or discount. A Merrill representative may ask for reasonable documentation of such facts and Merrill may condition the granting of a waiver or discount on the timely receipt of such documentation.
Additional information on waivers and discounts is available in the Merrill Sales Load Waiver and Discounts Supplement (the “Merrill SLWD Supplement”) and in the Mutual Fund Investing at Merrill pamphlet at ml.com/ funds. Clients are encouraged to review these documents and speak with their financial advisor to determine whether a transaction is eligible for a waiver or discount.

The following information replaces similar information found in the “Fund Management” section under the “Advisory Fee(s)” heading.
Each class of each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
When determining a class’s management fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once a fund’s monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class.
The annual management fee rate for each class of shares of each fund offered through this prospectus is the lesser of (1) the class’s mandate rate reduced by the class’s discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount listed below:
| Class A | Class M | Class C | Class I | |||||||||||||||||
Fidelity® Global High Income Fund | 0.85% | 0.85% | 0.85% | 0.85% | ||||||||||||||||
| Class A | Class M | Class C | Class I | Class Z | ||||||||||||||||
Fidelity® High Income Fund | 0.71% | 0.72% | 0.74% | 0.76% | 0.61% | |||||||||||||||
One-twelfth of the management fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the management fee for the class for that month.
A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of a fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of a fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.

If at any time during the current fiscal year ex-penses for Class A, Class M, Class C, or Class I of the fund fall below the Expense Caps, FMR reserves the right to recoup through the end of the fiscal year any expenses that were reimbursed during the current fiscal year up to, but not in excess of, the Ex-pense Caps.

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let’s say, hypothetically, that the an-nual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the
effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary.

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a tax-able account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating ex-penses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
● Normally investing primarily in in-come producing debt securities, pre-ferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt se-curities or junk bonds), of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging markets countries. Emerging markets include countries that have an emer-ging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to middle-income economies as classi-fied by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics.
● Potentially investing in non-income producing securities, including de-faulted securities and common stocks.
● Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
● Allocating investments across dif-ferent countries and regions.
● Investing in securities issued throughout the world, including po-tentially significant investments in U.S. issuers.
| 5 | Prospectus |
Fund Summary – continued
● Using a base neutral mix of approx-imately 60% U.S. high yield, 20% emer-ging markets debt, 15% European high yield, and 5% Asian high yield.
● Adjusting allocation among markets within the following ranges: U.S. high yield (40%-80%); emerging markets debt (5%-35%); European high yield (0%-30%); and Asian high yield (0%-10%).
● Analyzing an issuer using funda-mental factors (e.g., financial condi-tion, earnings outlook, and strategy) and evaluating each security’s current price relative to estimated long-term value to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
| ● | Stock Market Volatility. |
Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, includ-ing different market sectors, and dif-ferent types of securities can react differently to these developments.
| ● | Interest Rate Changes. |
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
| ● | Foreign Exposure. |
Foreign markets, particularly emer-ging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regu-latory, market, or economic develop-ments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infra-structure, and capitalization; and reg-ulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less estab-lished legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial in-formation available to investors.
Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
| ● | Issuer-Specific Changes. |
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt se-curities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve great-er risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
The value of lower-quality debt secur-ities and certain types of other secur-ities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or eco-nomic developments and can be diffi-cult to resell.

Average Annual Returns
Unlike the returns in the bar chart, the returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales charges. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual feder-al marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. After-tax returns for Class A are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will vary. Ac-tual after-tax returns may differ de-pending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns
shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing, 401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on Distribu-tions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a tax-
able account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating ex-penses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies
● Normally investing primarily in in-come producing debt securities, pre-ferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt se-curities or junk bonds).
● Potentially investing in non-income producing securities, including de-faulted securities and common stocks.
● Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
● Using the credit quality distribution of an index representing the overall high yield bond market, which as of April 30, 2023, was the ICE® BofA® US High Yield Constrained Index, as a guide in structuring the fund’s credit quality composition.
● Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
● Using fundamental analysis of each issuer’s financial condition and in-dustry position and market and eco-nomic conditions to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
| ● | Stock Market Volatility. |
Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, includ-
ing different market sectors, and dif-ferent types of securities can react differently to these developments.
| ● | Interest Rate Changes. |
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
| ● | Foreign Exposure. |
Foreign markets, particularly emer-ging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regu-latory, market, or economic develop-ments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
| ● | Issuer-Specific Changes. |
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt se-curities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve great-er risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
The value of lower-quality debt secur-ities and certain types of other secur-ities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or eco-nomic developments and can be diffi-cult to resell.

Investment Objective
Fidelity® Global High Income Fund seeks a high level of current income. Growth of capital may also be con-sidered.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Adviser normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in income-pro-ducing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than in-vestment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging markets. Many lower-quality debt securities are sub-ject to legal or contractual restric-tions limiting the Adviser’s ability to resell securities to the general public. The Adviser may also invest the fund’s assets in non-income producing secur-ities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. The Adviser may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganization or finan-cial restructurings. The proportions of the fund’s assets invested in each type of security vary based on the Adviser’s interpretation of economic conditions and underlying security values. Emer-ging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low-to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the
Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics. Emerging markets tend to have relat-ively low gross national product per capita compared to the world’s major economies and may have the potential for rapid economic growth.
The Adviser normally allocates the fund’s investments across different countries and regions.
Although the fund will invest in secur-ities of issuers located throughout the world, it may invest a significant por-tion of its assets in securities of U.S. issuers.
The Adviser allocates the fund’s as-sets among four markets: U.S. high yield; emerging markets debt; European high yield; and Asian high yield. The fund’s neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of in-vestments in each category over time, is 60% U.S. high yield, 20% emerging markets debt, 15% European high yield, and 5% Asian high yield. The Ad-viser periodically reviews, and may change, the fund’s neutral weightings.
The Adviser may adjust the fund’s al-location among markets within the following ranges: U.S. high yield (40%-80%); emerging markets debt (5%-35%); European high yield (0%-30%); and Asian high yield (0%-10%).
In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser generally analyzes the issuer of a security using funda-mental factors and evaluates each se-curity’s current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.
Investment Objective
Fidelity® High Income Fund seeks a high level of current income. Growth of capital may also be considered.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Adviser normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in income-pro-ducing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than in-vestment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds). Many lower-quality debt se-curities are subject to legal or con-tractual restrictions limiting the Adviser’s ability to resell the securit-ies to the general public. The Adviser may also invest the fund’s assets in non-income producing securities, in-cluding defaulted securities and com-mon stocks. The Adviser currently intends to limit common stocks to 10% of the fund’s total assets. The Adviser may invest in companies whose finan-cial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bank-ruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings.
The Adviser uses the credit quality distribution of an index representing the overall high yield bond market as a guide in structuring the fund’s cred-it quality composition. As of April 30, 2023, the Adviser used the ICE® BofA® US High Yield Constrained In-dex to represent the overall high yield
bond market.
The Adviser may invest the fund’s as-sets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic is-suers.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on funda-mental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its in-dustry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include a security’s structural fea-tures and current price compared to its long-term value, and the earnings potential, credit standing, and man-agement of the security’s issuer.
If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.
Description of Principal Security Types
Equity securities represent an own-ership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity se-curities include common stocks, pre-ferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.
Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of in-terest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay
| 19 | Prospectus |
Fund Basics – continued
current interest but are sold at a dis-count from their face values. Debt se-curities include corporate bonds, government securities (including Treasury securities), repurchase agreements, money market securities, mortgage and other asset-backed se-curities, loans and loan participations, and other securities believed to have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect each fund’s per-formance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial mar-kets, such as pandemics and epidem-ics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. A fund’s share price and yield change daily based on changes in market conditions and in-terest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial devel-opments. A fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sec-tor, and geographic location of an is-suer, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that is-suer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.
The following factors can significantly affect a fund’s performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in re-sponse to issuer, political, market,
and economic developments. Fluctu-ations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different mar-ket sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in anoth-er, large cap stocks can react differ-ently 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 in-dustry or economic sector or geo-graphic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condi-tion of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and re-lated geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets gener-ally.
Interest Rate Changes. Debt secur-ities, including money market securit-ies, have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In gener-al, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and certain types of securities, such as mortgage securities and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector, can be more sensitive to interest rate changes, meaning the longer the ma-turity of a security, the greater the im-pact a change in interest rates could
| Prospectus | 20 |
have on the security’s price. 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. Securities with floating interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much as interest rates in general. Se-curities whose payment at maturity is based on the movement of all or part of an index and inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities. In market environments where interest rates are rising, issuers may be less willing or able to make principal and/or interest payments on securit-ies when due. Although the transition process away from certain benchmark rates, including London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (an indicative measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks could borrow from one another), has be-come increasingly well-defined, any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR and other bench-mark rates on financial markets, a fund or the financial instruments in which a fund invests can be difficult to ascertain and may adversely impact a fund’s performance.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securit-ies, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substan-tial foreign operations can involve ad-ditional risks relating to political,
economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and dis-closure 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 mar-kets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Investing in emerging markets can in-volve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic de-velopment; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitaliza-tion; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and fin-ancial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of finan-cial information available to investors. Emerging markets economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. All of these factors can make emerging mar-kets securities more volatile and po-tentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.
Global economies and financial mar-kets are becoming increasingly inter-connected, which increases the
| 21 | Prospectus |
Fund Basics – continued
possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely im-pact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different coun-try or region.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general eco-nomic or political conditions can in-crease the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a se-curity’s or instrument’s credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger is-suers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.
Lower-quality debt securities and cer-tain 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 cer-tain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short as well as long 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, and often are considered to be speculative. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic reces-sions or periods of high interest rates.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different in-vestment strategy for defensive pur-poses. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its in-vestment objective.
Other Investment Strategies
In addition to the principal invest-ment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend Fidelity® Global High Income Fund’s securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.
The Adviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and ex-change traded funds, to increase or decrease Fidelity® Global High In-come Fund’s exposure to changing se-curity prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. The Adviser may invest the fund’s assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds.
The Adviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and swaps, to in-crease or decrease Fidelity® High In-come Fund’s exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. In addition, the Adviser may also buy and
| Prospectus | 22 |
sell shares of exchange traded funds to manage credit market exposure. The Adviser may invest the fund’s as-sets in investment-grade debt securit-ies by investing in other funds.
The Adviser may invest Fidelity® Glob-al High Income Fund’s and Fidelity® High Income Fund’s assets in securit-ies of private or newly public compan-ies.
Fundamental Investment Policies
The following is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:
Fidelity® High Income Fund seeks a high level of current income. Growth of capital may also be considered.
Non-Fundamental Investment Policies
Fidelity® Global High Income Fund’s investment objective is non-funda-mental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
Each fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.
The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV each business day as of the times noted in the table below. Each fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. Fidel-ity calculates NAV separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.
| Fund | NAV Calculation |
| Times | ||
| (Eastern Time) | ||
| Fidelity® Global High Income Fund | 4:00 p.m. | |
| Fidelity® High In-come Fund | 4:00 p.m. |
NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Ex-change Commission (SEC).
To the extent that a fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be af-fected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
NAV is calculated using the values of other open-end funds, if any, in which a fund invests (referred to as underly-ing funds). Shares of underlying funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
Other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information fur-nished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed un-reliable for a security, then that se-curity will be fair valued in good faith
| 23 | Prospectus |
Fund Basics – continued
by the Adviser in accordance with ap-plicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accord-ance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value.
Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not re-sume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may en-able short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets, if applic-able, present time zone arbitrage op-portunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio se-curities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.
Policies regarding excessive trading may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, par-ticularly in regard to omnibus ac-counts.
Fair value pricing is based on subject-ive judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, in-cluding transactions deemed to rep-resent excessive trading, at any time.
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, in-cluding reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to deal-ers who sell money market instru-ments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.
Each fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or ex-changes or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.
Excessive Trading Policy for each fund
The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage ex-cessive trading of fund shares. Excess-ive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder’s ac-count and each class of a multiple
| 25 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (includ-ing exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.
Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making addition-al purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transac-tions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from addi-tional purchases or exchange pur-chases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the ex-piration of a multi-fund block will ini-tiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase trans-actions in any account under the shareholder’s control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discre-tion restrict, reject, or cancel any pur-chases or exchanges that, in the Adviser’s opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or oth-erwise not be in the fund’s interests.
Exceptions
The following transactions are exempt from the fund’s excessive trading policy described above: (i) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution pro-grams, (ii) mandatory retirement dis-tributions, (iii) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of cer-
tain employee benefit plans or other related accounts, (iv) transactions within a qualified advisory program, and (v) transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of funds, or other strategy funds.
A qualified advisory program is one that demonstrates to Fidelity that the program has investment strategies and trading policies designed to pro-tect the interests of long-term in-vestors and meets specific criteria outlined by Fidelity.
A qualified fund of funds is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qual-ified plan assets that either applies the fund’s excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of funds level, or demonstrates that the fund of funds has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to con-trol frequent trading that are reason-ably likely to be effective as determined by the fund’s Treasurer.
Fidelity may choose not to monitor transactions below certain dollar value thresholds.
Omnibus Accounts
Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermedi-ary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, ad-visers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine
| Prospectus | 26 |
whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excess-ive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.
Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund’s excess-ive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not re-quest or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund’s policies. Reliance on interme-diaries increases the risk that excess-ive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any inter-mediary at any time, and may apply the fund’s policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may pro-hibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary’s clients. There is no as-surance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to de-tect or deter excessive trading in om-nibus accounts effectively.
If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable
to your account.
Retirement Plans
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed ex-changes count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retire-ment plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every cal-endar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contribu-tions and loan repayments by the par-ticipant may still be invested in the fund.
Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy
The fund’s Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund’s policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund re-serves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.
The fund does not knowingly accom-modate frequent purchases and re-demptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.
As described in “Valuing Shares,” the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund’s excess-ive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter ex-cessive or disruptive trading.
Buying Shares
Eligibility
Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United
| 27 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
States.
Each class of the fund has different expenses and features, as described in the applicable prospectus. Investors eligible to purchase one class of shares may also be eligible to pur-chase other classes of shares of the fund. Your investment professional, as applicable, can help you choose the class of shares that best suits your in-vestment needs.

contact Fidelity or your investment professional for more information about Class Z shares.
There is no minimum balance or pur-chase minimum for fund shares.
Price to Buy
The price to buy one share of Class A or Class M is its offering price or its NAV, depending on whether you pay a front-end sales charge.
The price to buy one share of Class C, Class I, or Class Z is its NAV. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon redemption. Class I and Class Z shares are sold without a sales charge.
If you pay a front-end sales charge, your price will be Class A’s or Class M’s offering price. When you buy Class A or Class M shares at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropri-ate sales charge and invests the rest in Class A or Class M shares of the fund. If you qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver, your price will be Class A’s or Class M’s NAV.
The offering price of Class A or Class M is its NAV plus the sales charge. The offering price is calculated by di-viding Class A’s or Class M’s NAV by the difference between one and the applicable front-end sales charge per-centage and rounding to the nearest cent.
The dollar amount of the sales charge for Class A or Class M is the difference between the offering price of the shares purchased and the NAV of
those shares. Since the offering price per share is calculated to the nearest cent using standard rounding criteria, the percentage sales charge you actu-ally pay may be higher or lower than the sales charge percentages shown in this prospectus due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class’s NAV.
Shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next cal-culated after an order is received in proper form.
It is the responsibility of your invest-ment professional to transmit your or-der to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.
Each fund has authorized certain in-termediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next cal-culated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applic-able, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If your payment is not received and
| Prospectus | 30 |
collected, your purchase may be can-celed and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has in-curred.
Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and set-tlement system that guarantees pay-ment for orders on a specified date.
Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria estab-lished by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of custom-ers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institu-tion will be liable for any losses.
Under applicable anti-money launder-ing rules and other regulations, pur-chase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the mon-ies may be withheld.
Selling Shares
The price to sell one share of Class A, Class M, or Class C is its NAV, minus any applicable CDSC. The price to sell one share of Class I or Class Z is its NAV.
Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form, minus any applicable CDSC.
Normally, redemptions will be pro-cessed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making imme-diate payment would adversely affect
a fund.
It is the responsibility of your invest-ment professional to transmit your or-der to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.
Each fund has authorized certain in-termediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary, minus any applicable CDSC. If applicable, or-ders by funds of funds for which Fidel-ity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
See “Policies Concerning the Redemp-tion of Fund Shares” below for addi-tional redemption information.
A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a sig-nature guarantee in certain circum-stances, such as:
● When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.
● When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.
| 31 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
● When you are requesting that re-demption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account own-er.
● In certain situations when the re-demption proceeds are being trans-ferred to a Fidelity® brokerage or mutual fund account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signa-ture guarantee from a bank, broker-dealer, credit union (if author-ized under state law), securities ex-change or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A not-ary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
● Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been re-ceived and collected.
● Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
● Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
● You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed re-demption checks.
● Under applicable anti-money laun-dering rules and other regulations, re-demption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
Class Z: When your relationship with your managed account provider is ter-minated, your shares may be sold at the NAV next calculated, in which case the redemption proceeds will re-main in your account pending your in-struction.
Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares
If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemp-tion proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such pro-ceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption pro-ceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following re-ceipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.
If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay re-demption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for trans-
| Prospectus | 32 |
mittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next busi-ness day following receipt of a re-demption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemp-tion orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clear-ing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in prop-er form.
As noted elsewhere, payment of re-demption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.
Redemption Methods Available.
Generally a fund expects to pay re-demption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy re-demption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also sat-isfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an avail-able line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.
In addition to paying redemption pro-ceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemp-tion proceeds in readily marketable
securities instead of cash (redemp-tion in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by de-livering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemp-tion order in proper form by a fund.
A fund will automatically convert your class of shares of the fund to Class Z shares, if Class Z of the fund is avail-able under your plan.
A fund may convert your Class Z shares to another class of shares of the fund, including classes of shares not offered in this prospectus that are available under your plan, if your plan is no longer eligible to offer Class Z. Information on the other classes of shares of the fund can be found in that class’s prospectus. Investors will be notified in writing before any such conversion to another class.
A conversion will be based on the re-spective NAVs of the two classes, without the imposition of any fees, on the trade date of the conversion. A conversion between share classes of the same fund is a non-taxable event.
Conversion Feature. After a maximum of eight years from the ini-tial date of purchase, Class C shares convert automatically to Class A shares of a fund. Conversion to Class A shares will be made at NAV. At the time of conversion, a portion of the Class C shares bought through the re-investment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also con-
| 33 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
vert to Class A shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will convert is determined by the ratio of your con-verting Class C non-Dividend Shares to your total Class C non-Dividend Shares. A fund may convert shares sooner in certain circumstances. A shorter holding period may also apply depending on your intermediary. Please see “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermedi-aries” in the “Appendix” section of this prospectus.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of an-other fund.
As a Class A shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class A shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares at NAV or for Daily Money Class shares of Fidelity® funds that offer Daily Money Class shares.
As a Class M shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class M shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Ad-visor classes of shares at NAV or for Advisor M Class shares of Fidelity® Government Money Market Fund. If you purchased your Class M shares through certain investment profes-sionals that have signed an agreement with FDC, you also have the privilege of exchanging your Class M shares for shares of Fidelity® Capital Appreci-ation Fund.
As a Class C shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class C shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund.
As a Class I shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class I shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for shares of Fi-delity® funds.
As a Class Z shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging Class Z shares for the same class of shares of other Fidelity® funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or Class Z shares of other Fidelity® funds available through your employee benefit plan, or if the Fidelity® fund does not offer Class Z shares, then other classes of the Fidelity® fund that are available through your plan.
Through your investment profession-al, you may also move between certain share classes of the same fund. For more information, see the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) or consult your investment professional.
However, you should note the follow-ing policies and restrictions governing exchanges:
| Prospectus | 34 |
● The exchange limit may be modi-fied for accounts held by certain insti-tutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Depart-ment of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
● Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange pur-chases by any person or group if, in the Adviser’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its in-vestment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be ad-versely affected.
● An exchange of shares is not sub-ject to any applicable CDSCs.
● Before any exchange, read the pro-spectus for the shares you are pur-chasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.
● The shares you are acquiring by ex-change must be available for sale in your state.
● Exchanges may have tax con-sequences for you if you own shares in a taxable account.
● If you are exchanging between ac-counts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
● Under applicable anti-money laun-dering rules and other regulations, ex-change requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
The funds may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.
Other funds may have different ex-change restrictions and minimums. Check each fund’s prospectus for de-tails.
Class Z shares generally are not avail-able to IRA rollover accounts. Assets from retirement plans may be inves-ted in other class(es) of shares of the fund through an IRA rollover, includ-ing class(es) of shares not offered in this prospectus. Each class of each fund has different expenses and fea-tures and may have higher expenses than Class Z shares. Information on the other class(es) of shares of each fund, including any class expenses and features, can be found in the ap-plicable class’s prospectus.
Please contact your investment pro-fessional for more information.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you, if applicable, include the follow-ing:
● Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund bal-ance except, to the extent applicable, reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic in-vestment or withdrawal programs).
● Monthly or quarterly account state-ments (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).
Current regulations allow Fidelity to send a single copy of shareholder doc-uments for Fidelity® funds, such as prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, and proxy materials, to cer-tain mutual fund customers whom we believe are members of the same fam-ily who share the same address. For certain types of accounts, we will not send multiple copies of these docu-ments to you and members of your family who share the same address. Instead, we will send only a single copy of these documents. This will continue for as long as you are a shareholder, unless you notify us oth-erwise. If at any time you choose to re-ceive individual copies of any documents, please call 1-877-208-0098. We will begin sending individual copies to you within 30 days of receiving your call.
You may initiate many transac-tions by telephone or elec-tronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unau-thorized transactions if it follows reas-
| Prospectus | 36 |
onable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized se-curity codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fi-delity recommends the use of an In-ternet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the ac-curacy of your confirmation state-ments upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instruc-tions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, as-sociations, and certain fiduciaries.
You may be asked to provide addition-al information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laun-dering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the mon-ies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise re-quired under these and other federal regulations. In addition, each fund re-serves the right to involuntarily re-deem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening con-duct or actual or suspected fraudu-lent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other indi-vidual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner to provide information to the funds re-lated to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, cal-culated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.
Fidelity may charge a fee for cer-tain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its invest-ments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as di-vidends. Each fund also realizes capit-al gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
Each fund normally declares di-vidends and pays capital gain distribu-tions per the tables below:
| Fund Name | Dividends Paid | |
Fidelity® Global High Income Fund |
Declares daily and pays monthly | |
Fidelity® High Income Fund |
Declares daily and pays monthly | |
| Fund Name | Capital Gains Paid | |
Fidelity® Global High Income Fund |
June, December | |
Fidelity® High Income Fund |
June, December | |
Earning Dividends
A fund processes purchase and re-demption requests only on days it is open for business.
When you buy shares, your method of payment will determine when di-vidends begin to accrue. For example, shares purchased through an invest-ment professional using the National Securities Clearing Corporation gen-
| 37 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
erally begin to earn dividends on the day the fund re-ceives payment for those shares. Shares purchased through an investment professional by any other method generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day the fund re-ceives payment. If you purchase your shares directly from the fund by check or wire, those shares generally begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day you placed your purchase order.
Shares sold through an investment professional using the National Secur-ities Clearing Corporation generally earn dividends until, but not includ-ing, the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold through an in-vestment professional by any other method generally earn dividends un-til, but not including, the first busi-ness day following the day redemption proceeds are processed. Shares sold other than through an investment professional generally earn dividends until, but not including, the first busi-ness day following the day of redemp-tion.
Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.
Distribution Options
When you open an account, specify how you want to receive your distribu-tions. The following distribution op-tions are available:
1. Reinvestment Option.
Any dividends and capital gain distri-butions will be automatically reinves-ted in additional shares. If you do not indicate a choice, you will be assigned this option.
2. Income-Earned Option.
Any capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. Any dividends will be paid in cash.
3. Cash Option.
Any dividends and capital gain distri-butions will be paid in cash.
4. Directed Dividends® Option.
Any dividends will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidel-ity® fund. Any capital gain distribu-tions will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity® fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
Not all distribution options may be available for every account and cer-tain restrictions may apply. If the op-tion you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact Fidelity or your investment profes-sional directly.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Op-tion. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed dis-
| Prospectus | 38 |
tribution checks.
Any dividends and capital gain distri-butions paid to retirement plan parti-cipants will be automatically reinvested.
As with any investment, your invest-ment in a fund could have tax con-sequences for you (for non-retirement accounts).
Taxes on Distributions
Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain dis-tributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you gen-erally as capital gains. Because a fund’s income is primarily derived from interest, dividends from a fund generally will not qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rates avail-able to individuals.
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed in-come or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiv-ing a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regard-
less of your distribution option.
If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions auto-matically in the same class of shares of another Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of Fidelity® funds, you will receive cer-tain December distributions in Janu-ary, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.
Distributions by a fund to tax-advant-aged retirement plan accounts are not taxable currently (but you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Taxes on Transactions
Your redemptions, including ex-changes, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A cap-ital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.
Exchanges within a tax-advantaged retirement plan account will not res-ult in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of distributions from a tax-advantaged retirement plan account.

The SAI provides additional informa-tion about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by the portfolio man-ager(s).
From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may ex-
press views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or mar-ket sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time ex-pressed and do not necessarily repres-ent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or oth-er conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trad-ing intent on behalf of any fund.
Advisory Fee(s)
Each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and mul-tiplying the result by the fund’s aver-age net assets throughout the month.
The group fee rate is based on the av-erage net assets of a group of mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate can-not rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management in-crease.
The group fee rate(s) for April 2023 and the annual individual fund fee rate(s) are reflected in the table be-low:
| Prospectus | 42 |
| Fund | Group Fee Rate | Individual Fund Fee Rate | ||||
| Fidelity® Global High Income Fund | 0.10% | 0.60% | ||||
Fidelity® High Income Fund | 0.10% | 0.45% | ||||
The total management fee, as a per-centage of a fund’s average net assets, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, for each fund is shown in the following table. Because each fund’s management fee rate may fluctuate, a fund’s management fee may be higher or lower in the future.
| Fund | Total Management Fee Rate | |
| Fidelity® Global High Income Fund | 0.70% | |
Fidelity® High Income Fund | 0.55% | |
The Adviser pays FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited, Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited, and Fidelity Manage-ment & Research (Japan) Limited for providing sub-advisory services.
The Adviser pays FIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIA in turn pays FIA(UK).
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for each fund is available in each fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal peri-od ended October 31, 2022.
From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while re-taining the ability to be repaid if ex-penses fall below the specified limit
prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Reimbursement or waiver arrange-ments can decrease expenses and boost performance.
Fidelity® High Income Fund may in-vest in a business development com-pany (BDC) advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser has contrac-tually agreed to waive its management fee with respect to the portion of Fi-delity® High Income Fund’s assets in-vested in such BDC. This waiver is in effect through August 31, 2024.
Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
FDC distributes Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I, and Class Z shares.
Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for their services inten-ded to result in the sale of class shares, including compensation for providing recordkeeping and adminis-trative services, as well as other re-tirement plan expenses for Class Z shares.
This may take the form of (as applic-able):
● Sales charges and concessions (not applicable to Class I and Class Z shares).
● Distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (not applicable to Class I and Class Z shares).
| 43 | Prospectus |

● Finder’s fees (not applicable to Class C, Class I, and Class Z shares).
● Payments for additional distribu-tion-related activities and/or share-holder services.
● Payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by Fidelity, or by an inter-mediary.
These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.
Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or com-missions the investment professional charges. You should also consult dis-closures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.
You may pay a sales charge when you buy or sell your Class A, Class M, and Class C shares.
FDC collects the sales charge.
As described in detail in this section, you may be entitled to a waiver of your sales charge, or to pay a reduced sales charge, when you buy or sell Class A, Class M, and Class C shares. In the event of changes in sales charges, sales charges, if any, in effect at the time of purchase generally will apply.
The availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts may de-pend on whether you purchase your shares directly from a fund or through an intermediary. Intermediaries may
have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or CDSC (back-end) waivers. Please see “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermediaries” in the “Ap-pendix” section of the prospectus. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s re-sponsibility to notify a fund or the purchaser’s intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or oth-er facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase fund shares dir-ectly from a fund or through another intermedi-ary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The front-end sales charge will be re-duced for purchases of Class A and Class M shares according to the sales charge schedules below.

Class A or Class M shares purchased by an individual or company through the Combined Purchase, Rights of Ac-cumulation, or Letter of Intent pro-gram may receive a reduced front-end sales charge according to the sales charge schedules above. To qualify for a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction under one of these programs, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase.
Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent Programs. The follow-ing qualify as an “individual” or “com-pany” for the purposes of determining eligibility for the Combined Purchase and Rights of Accumulation program: an individual, spouse, and their chil-dren under age 21 purchasing for his/her or their own account; a trust-ee, administrator, or other fiduciary
purchasing for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary account or for a single or parent-subsidiary group of “employee benefit plans” (except SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)) and 403(b) programs; and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code). The following qualify as an “individual” or “company” for the purposes of determining eligibility for the Letter of Intent program: an indi-vidual, spouse, and their children un-der age 21 purchasing for his/her or their own account; a trustee, adminis-trator, or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust estate or a single fi-duciary account (except SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)); an IRA or plans covering sole-proprietors (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans); plans investing through the Fidelity Advisor® 403(b) program; and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code).
Combined Purchase. To re-ceive a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction, if you are a new shareholder, you may combine your purchase of Class A or Class M shares with purchases of: (i) Class A, Class M, and Class C shares of any Fi-delity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund, and (iii) Class A Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D
| Prospectus | 46 |
Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor® 529 Plan. Purchases may be aggregated across multiple intermedi-aries on the same day for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Pur-chase program.
Rights of Accumulation. To receive a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction, if you are an existing shareholder, you may add to your purchase of Class A or Class M shares the current value of your hold-ings in: (i) Class A, Class M, and Class C shares of any Fidelity® fund that of-fers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Ad-visor C Class shares of Fidelity® Treasury Money Market Fund, (iii) Daily Money Class shares of a fund that offers Daily Money Class shares acquired by exchange from any Fidel-ity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iv) Class O shares of Fidel-ity Advisor® Diversified Stock Fund and Fidelity Advisor® Capital Devel-opment Fund, and (v) Class A Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor® 529 Plan. The current value of your holdings is determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day prior to your purchase of Class A or Class M shares. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A or Class M shares for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program. Pur-chases and holdings may be aggreg-ated across multiple intermediaries for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program.
Letter of Intent. You may receive
a Class A or Class M front-end sales charge reduction on your purchases of Class A and Class M shares made dur-ing a 13-month period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). File your Letter with Fidelity no later than the date of the initial purchase toward completing your Letter. Each Class A or Class M purchase you make toward completing your Letter will be en-titled to the reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total invest-ment indicated in the Letter. Pur-chases of the following may be aggregated for the purpose of com-pleting your Letter: (i) 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 ex-changed from a Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares), (ii) Class C shares of any Fidelity® fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iii) Advisor C Class shares of Fidel-ity® Treasury Money Market Fund, and (iv) Class A Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor® 529 Plan. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will not be con-sidered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter. Purchases may be aggregated across multiple in-termediaries for the purpose of quali-fying for the Letter of Intent program. Your initial purchase toward complet-ing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or
| 47 | Prospectus |
Fund Services – continued
Class M shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow. You will earn income, di-vidends and capital gain distributions on escrowed Class A and Class M shares. The escrow 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 accord-ance with the sales charge schedule in effect when your shares were ori-ginally bought. Fidelity may redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class M shares to pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than the amount specified in your Let-ter and qualify for additional Class A or Class M front-end sales charge re-ductions, 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 or Class M shares at the then-current of-fering price applicable to the total in-vestment.
Detailed information about these pro-grams also is available on institution-al.fidelity.com. In order to obtain the benefit of a front-end sales charge re-duction for which you may be eligible, you may need to inform your invest-ment professional of other accounts you, your spouse, or your children maintain with your investment profes-sional or other investment profession-als from the same intermediary.
Class C shares may, upon redemption
less than one year after purchase, for any reason, be assessed a CDSC of 1.00%. The actual CDSC you pay may be higher or lower than that calcu-lated using this percentage due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your invest-ment and the size of the class’s NAV.
Investment professionals will receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of the sale, a concession equal to 1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares. A concession will not apply to Class C shares acquired through rein-vestment of dividends or capital gain distributions.
The CDSC for Class A, Class M, and Class C shares will be calculated based on the lesser of the cost of each class’s shares, as applicable, at the initial date of purchase or the value of those shares, as applicable, at re-demption, not including any reinves-ted dividends or capital gains. Class A, Class M, and Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, shares representing rein-vested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by those shares that have been held for the longest period of time.
A front-end sales charge will not apply to the following Class A or Class M shares:
1. Purchased for an employee benefit plan other than a plan investing through the Fidelity Advisor® 403(b)
| Prospectus | 48 |
program. For this purpose, employee benefit plans generally include 401(a), 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) governmental plans, but do not in-clude: IRAs, SIMPLE, SEP, or SARSEP plans; or health savings accounts.

5. Purchased with any proceeds of a distribution from a Fidelity® recordkept employee benefit plan (as described in waiver number 1 above, including the Fidelity Advisor® 403(b) program) that is rolled dir-ectly into a Fidelity Advisor® IRA for which Fidelity Management Trust Company or an affiliate serves as cus-todian.
6. Purchased by a bank trust officer, registered representative, or other employee (or a member of one of their
immediate families) of intermediaries having agreements with FDC.

Finder’s fees are not paid in connec-tion with purchases of Class A or Class M shares by insurance company sep-arate accounts or managed account programs that charge an asset-based fee, or purchases of Class A or Class M shares made with the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidel-ity® fund or any retirement plan recordkept at Fidelity.
Investment professionals should con-tact Fidelity in advance to determine if they qualify to receive a finder’s fee. Finder’s fees will be paid in connec-tion with shares recordkept in a Fidel-ity Advisor® 401(k) Retirement Plan only at the time of the initial conver-sion of assets. Investment profession-als should contact Fidelity for more information.
Reinstatement Privilege. If you have sold all or part of your Class A, Class M, or Class C shares of a fund, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption pro-ceeds in the same class of the fund or another Fidelity® fund that offers Ad-visor classes of shares, at the NAV next determined after receipt in prop-er 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 shares will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class A, Class M, or Class C shares, as applic-able.
You must reinstate your shares into an account with the same registra-

tion. This privilege may be exercised only once by a shareholder with re-spect to a fund and certain restric-tions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A, Class M, or Class C shares had not been re-deemed. To qualify for the reinstate-ment privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your reinvestment.
Distribution and Service Plan(s)
Class A of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursu-ant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class A of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensa-tion for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class A of each fund may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not ap-proved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class A’s average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class A share-holders to do so.
In addition, pursuant to each Class A plan, Class A of each fund pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an an-nual rate of 0.25% of Class A’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support ser-vices.
Except as provided below, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.
For purchases of Class A shares on which a finder’s fee was paid to inter-mediaries, after the first year of in-vestment, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (service) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.
Class M of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursu-ant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class M of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensa-tion for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class M shares. Class M of each fund may pay this 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Currently, the Trustees have not ap-proved such payments. The Trustees may approve 12b-1 (distribution) fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of Class M’s average net assets when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of Class M share-holders to do so.
In addition, pursuant to each Class M plan, Class M of each fund pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an an-nual rate of 0.25% of Class M’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support ser-vices.
| Prospectus | 52 |
FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support ser-vices.
Class C of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursu-ant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Class C of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee as compensa-tion for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares. Class C of each fund currently pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of its average net assets throughout the month.
In addition, pursuant to each Class C plan, Class C of each fund pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (service) fee at an an-nual rate of 0.25% of Class C’s average net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support ser-vices.
Normally, after the first year of invest-ment, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (distribution) fees to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing services inten-ded to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of the 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support ser-vices.
For purchases of Class C shares made through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions, during the first year of investment and there-
after, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (distribution) fee paid by such shares to intermedi-aries, including its affiliates, for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.
Any fees paid out of Class A’s, Class M’s, and Class C’s assets on an ongo-ing basis pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
In addition to the above payments, each Class A, Class M, and Class C plan specifically recognizes that the Adviser may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for ex-penses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class M, and Class C shares and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC or one or more affili-ates, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those ser-vices. Currently, the Board of Trust-ees of each fund has authorized such payments for Class A, Class M, and Class C.
Class I of each fund and Class Z of Fi-delity® High Income Fund has adop-ted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
| 53 | Prospectus |
Fund Services – continued
Act that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee reven-ues, as well as its past profits or its re-sources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connec-tion with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class I and Class Z shares and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Class I and Class Z.
If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under Class I’s and Class Z’s Distribution and Ser-vice Plan were considered to be paid out of Class I’s and Class Z’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”)
Policies Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in
fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) pur-chasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based plat-forms are eligible only for the follow-ing sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from dis-counts and waivers described else-where in the mutual fund prospectus or SAI or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to in-form Edward Jones at the time of pur-chase of any relationship, holdings of the fund family, or other facts qualify-ing the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Breakpoints
● Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the pro-spectus.
| 69 | Prospectus |
Appendix – continued
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”):
● The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determ-ined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group re-tirement plans) of the mutual fund family held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considera-tions (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calcula-tion is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money mar-ket funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
● The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
● ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”):
● Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and break-point discounts for purchases share-holders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Ed-ward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the high-er of cost or market value of qualify-ing holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any break-point discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclu-sion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of cal-culation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Sales Charge Waivers:

● Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, gen-erally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

Policies Regarding Fund Purchases Held on the PSS Platform

Clients of PFSI (also referred to as “shareholders”) pur-chasing fund shares on the PSS plat-form are eligible only for the following share classes, sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and waivers described elsewhere in this prospect-us or the related SAI or through an-other broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to
| 79 | Prospectus |
Appendix – continued
inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings of Fidelity Advisor® funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for dis-counts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation of such facts and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Share-holders should contact PSS if they have questions regarding their eligib-ility for these discounts and waivers.
Share Classes
● Class A shares are available to non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account types.
● Class C shares are available only to accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
● Breakpoint pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the pro-spectus of the fund you are purchas-ing.
Rights of Accumulation (ROA)
● The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determ-ined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held in group retirement plans) of Fidelity Advisor® funds held by the sharehold-er on the PSS platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such as-sets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market funds are included only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Fidelity Advisor® fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Fidelity Advisor® funds held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Fidelity Advisor® fund purchased on the PSS platform.
| Prospectus | 80 |
● Any SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (PDP) on the PSS platform will be de-faulted to plan-level grouping for pur-poses of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan ac-counts on the PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to shareholder-level grouping, which allows the plan account of the elect-ing employee ROA with his/her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform, but not with all other eligible parti-cipant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
● ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (LOI)
● By executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make on the PSS platform over a 13-month period, beginning from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qual-ifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over a 13-month period to arrive at total in-vestment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the ap-plicable front-end sales charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes dur-ing that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint dis-count that applies to the projected total investment.
● Only holdings of Fidelity Advisor® funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of all eligible assets at the time of cal-culation.
● Purchases made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted un-der the LOI, and the LOI will not re-duce any sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases re-quired by the LOI are not met.
| 81 | Prospectus |
Appendix – continued
● If an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA but are available to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.

Automated transac-tions (i.e., systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
● Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discre-tion of PFSI.

The following information replaces similar information found in the “Fund Management” section under the “Advisory Fee(s)” heading.
Each class of each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
When determining a class’s management fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once a fund’s monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class.
The annual management fee rate for the class of shares of each fund offered through this prospectus is the lesser of (1) the class’s mandate rate reduced by the class’s discount rate (if applicable) or (2) 0.65% for Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund, 0.71% for Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund, and 0.67% for Fidelity® High Income Fund. One-twelfth of the management fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the management fee for the class for that month.
A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of a fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of a fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.
Effective January 1, 2024, the following information supplements information for Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund found in the “Fund Summary” section under the “Portfolio Manager(s)” heading.

effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here’s how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Fund Summary – continued
Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 20% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
● Investing in equity and debt securities, including defaulted securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds).
● Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
● Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
● Using fundamental analysis of each issuer’s financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
● Stock Market Volatility.
Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
● Interest Rate Changes.
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
● Foreign Exposure.
Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
● Issuer-Specific Changes.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the
| Prospectus | 4 |
issuer.
The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
● Normally investing primarily in income producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds).
● Potentially investing in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks.
● Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
● Using the credit quality distribution of an index representing the overall high yield bond market, which as of April 30, 2023, was the ICE® BofA® US High Yield Constrained Index, as a guide in structuring the fund’s credit quality composition.
● Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
● Using fundamental analysis of each issuer’s financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
● Stock Market Volatility.
Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
● Interest Rate Changes.
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
● Foreign Exposure.
Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic develop-

ments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
● Issuer-Specific Changes.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) 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 can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured
or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Investment Objective
Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund seeks to provide a combination of income and capital growth.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Adviser invests the fund’s assets in equity and debt securities. The Adviser has the flexibility to invest the fund’s assets in securities of any type or quality, including defaulted securities, but expects to invest the majority of the fund’s assets in debt securities and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds). Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting the Adviser’s ability to resell the securities to the general public. The Adviser may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings.
The Adviser may invest the fund’s assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered
include a security’s structural features and current price compared to its long-term value, and the earnings potential, credit standing, and management of the security’s issuer.
If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.
Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities (including Treasury securities), repurchase agreements, money market securities, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, loans and loan participations, and other securities believed to have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect each fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. A fund’s share price and yield change daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types and maturities of 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. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.
The following factors can significantly affect a fund’s performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and
| 21 | Prospectus |
Fund Basics – continued
“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. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities, including money market securities, have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and certain types of securities, such as mortgage securities and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector, can be more sensitive to interest rate changes, meaning the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security’s price. 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. Securities with floating interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as
much as interest rates in general. Securities whose payment at maturity is based on the movement of all or part of an index and inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities. In market environments where interest rates are rising, issuers may be less willing or able to make principal and/or interest payments on securities when due. Although the transition process away from certain benchmark rates, including London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (an indicative measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks could borrow from one another), has become increasingly well-defined, any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR and other benchmark rates on financial markets, a fund or the financial instruments in which a fund invests can be difficult to ascertain and may adversely impact a fund’s performance.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; 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.
| Prospectus | 22 |
investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, 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 increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.
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 as well as long 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, and often are considered to be speculative. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Other Investment Strategies
In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund’s exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. The Adviser may invest the fund’s assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds.

Fundamental Investment Policies
The following is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval: Fidelity® High Income Fund seeks a high level of current income. Growth of capital may also be considered.
Non-Fundamental Investment Policies
Each of Fidelity® Capital & Income
Fund’s and Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
Each fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.
The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV each business day as of the times noted in the table below. Each fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. Fidelity calculates NAV separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.
| Fund | NAV Calculation Times (Eastern Time) | |
| Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund | 4:00 p.m. | |
| Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund | 4:00 p.m. | |
| Fidelity® High Income Fund | 4:00 p.m. |
NAV is not calculated and a fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
To the extent that a fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be af-
| Prospectus | 24 |
fected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
NAV is calculated using the values of other open-end funds, if any, in which a fund invests (referred to as underlying funds). Shares of underlying funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value.
Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not re-
sume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets, if applicable, present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.
Policies regarding excessive trading may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.
Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Ways to Invest
Subject to the purchase and sale requirements stated in this prospectus, you may buy or sell shares through a Fidelity® brokerage account or a Fidelity® mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity® brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity® brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity® brokerage account).
If you do not currently have a
Fidelity® brokerage account or a Fidelity® mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity® brokerage account or a Fidelity® mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity’s web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted.
Frequent Purchases and Redemptions
A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.
Each fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.
Excessive Trading Policy for each fund
The Board of Trustees has adopted
policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder’s account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.
Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder’s control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in the Adviser’s opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund’s interests.
Exceptions
The following transactions are exempt
| 27 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
from the fund’s excessive trading policy described above: (i) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (ii) mandatory retirement distributions, (iii) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts, (iv) transactions within a qualified advisory program, and (v) transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of funds, or other strategy funds.
A qualified advisory program is one that demonstrates to Fidelity that the program has investment strategies and trading policies designed to protect the interests of long-term investors and meets specific criteria outlined by Fidelity.
A qualified fund of funds is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the fund’s excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of funds level, or demonstrates that the fund of funds has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the fund’s Treasurer.
Fidelity may choose not to monitor transactions below certain dollar value thresholds.
Omnibus Accounts
Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares
among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.
Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund’s excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund’s policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund’s policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary’s clients. There is no assurance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in om-
| Prospectus | 28 |
nibus accounts effectively.
If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.
Retirement Plans
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.
Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy
The fund’s Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund’s policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.
The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.
As described in “Valuing Shares,” the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund’s excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter ex-
cessive or disruptive trading.
Buying Shares
Eligibility
Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.
There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for fund shares.
Price to Buy
The price to buy one share is its NAV. Shares are sold without a sales charge.
Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any

Shareholder Information – continued
losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
Selling Shares
The price to sell one share is its NAV.
Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.
Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for
which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
See “Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares” below for additional redemption information.
A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:
● When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.
● When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.
● When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner.
● In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity® brokerage or mutual fund account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity® Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing
| Prospectus | 30 |
agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
● Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.
● Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
● Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
● You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
● If you hold your shares in a Fidelity® brokerage or mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for six months, the check may be invested in additional shares at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.
● Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares
If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.
If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.
| 31 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
As noted elsewhere, payment of re-demption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.
Redemption Methods Available.
Generally a fund expects to pay re-demption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy re-demption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also sat-isfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an avail-able line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.
In addition to paying redemption pro-ceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemp-tion proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemp-tion in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by de-livering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemp-tion order in proper form by a fund.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of an-other fund.
As a shareholder, you have the priv-ilege of exchanging shares for shares of other Fidelity® funds.
However, you should note the follow-ing policies and restrictions governing exchanges:
● The exchange limit may be modi-fied for accounts held by certain insti-tutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Depart-ment of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
● Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange pur-chases by any person or group if, in the Adviser’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its in-vestment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be ad-versely affected.
● Before any exchange, read the pro-spectus for the shares you are pur-chasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.
● The shares you are acquiring by ex-change must be available for sale in your state.
● Exchanges may have tax con-sequences for you.
| Prospectus | 32 |
● If you are exchanging between ac-counts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
● Under applicable anti-money laun-dering rules and other regulations, ex-change requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
The funds may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.
Other funds may have different ex-change restrictions and minimums. Check each fund’s prospectus for de-tails.

Shareholder Information – continued
● Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund bal-ance except, to the extent applicable, reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic in-vestment or withdrawal programs).
● Monthly or quarterly account state-ments (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).
Current regulations allow Fidelity to send a single copy of shareholder doc-uments for Fidelity® funds, such as prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, and proxy materials, to cer-tain mutual fund customers whom we believe are members of the same fam-ily who share the same address. For certain types of accounts, we will not send multiple copies of these docu-ments to you and members of your family who share the same address. Instead, we will send only a single copy of these documents. This will continue for as long as you are a shareholder, unless you notify us oth-erwise. If at any time you choose to re-ceive individual copies of any documents, please call 1-800-544-8544. We will begin sending individual copies to you within 30 days of receiving your call.
Electronic copies of most financial re-ports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity’s web site. To participate in Fidelity’s electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity’s web site for more information.
You may initiate many transac-tions by telephone or elec-tronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unau-thorized transactions if it follows reas-onable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized se-curity codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fi-delity recommends the use of an In-ternet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the ac-curacy of your confirmation state-ments upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instruc-tions.
You may be asked to provide addition-al information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laun-dering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the mon-ies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise re-quired under these and other federal regulations. In addition, each fund re-serves the right to involuntarily re-deem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening con-duct or actual or suspected fraudu-lent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other indi-vidual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner to provide information to the funds re-
| Prospectus | 34 |
lated to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, cal-culated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.
Fidelity may charge a fee for cer-tain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its invest-ments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as di-vidends. Each fund also realizes capit-al gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
Each fund normally declares di-vidends and pays capital gain distribu-tions per the tables below:
| Fund Name | Dividends Paid | |
| Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund | Declares daily and pays monthly | |
| Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund | Declares daily and pays monthly | |
| Fidelity® High Income Fund | Declares daily and pays monthly | |
| Fund Name | Capital Gains Paid | |
| Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund | June, December | |
| Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund | June, December | |
| Fidelity® High Income Fund | June, December | |
Earning Dividends
A fund processes purchase and re-demption requests only on days it is open for business.
Shares generally begin to earn di-vidends on the first business day fol-lowing the day of purchase.
Shares generally earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.
Exchange requests will be processed only when both funds are open for business.
Distribution Options
When you open an account, specify how you want to receive your distribu-tions. The following distribution op-tions are available:
1. Reinvestment Option.
Any dividends and capital gain distri-butions will be automatically reinves-ted in additional shares. If you do not indicate a choice, you will be assigned this option.
2. Income-Earned Option.
Any capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. Any dividends will be paid in cash.
3. Cash Option.
Any dividends and capital gain distri-butions will be paid in cash.
4. Directed Dividends® Option.
Any dividends will be automatically
| 35 | Prospectus |
Shareholder Information – continued
invested in shares of another identic-ally registered Fidelity® fund. Any capital gain distributions will be auto-matically invested in shares of anoth-er identically registered Fidelity® fund, automatically reinvested in ad-ditional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
Not all distribution options may be available for every account and cer-tain restrictions may apply. If the dis-tribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity’s web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Op-tion. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed dis-tribution checks.
If your dividend check(s) remains un-cashed for six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.
As with any investment, your invest-ment in a fund could have tax con-sequences for you (for non-retirement accounts).
Taxes on Distributions
Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income
tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain dis-tributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you gen-erally as capital gains. Because a fund’s income is primarily derived from interest, dividends from a fund generally will not qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rates avail-able to individuals.
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed in-come or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiv-ing a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regard-less of your distribution option.
For each fund, if you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest dis-tributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity® fund, you will re-ceive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.
Taxes on Transactions
Your redemptions, including ex-changes, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A cap-ital gain or loss on your investment in
| Prospectus | 36 |
a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.
| 37 | Prospectus |
Each fund is a mutual fund, an invest-ment that pools shareholders’ money and invests it toward a specified goal.

The Statement of Additional Informa-tion (SAI) provides additional inform-ation about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by the portfolio man-ager(s).
From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may ex-press views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or mar-ket sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time ex-pressed and do not necessarily repres- ent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or oth-er conditions and Fidelity disclaims
| 39 | Prospectus |
Fund Services – continued
any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trad-ing intent on behalf of any fund.
Advisory Fee(s)
Each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and mul-tiplying the result by the fund’s aver-age net assets throughout the month.
The group fee rate is based on the av-erage net assets of a group of mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate can-not rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management in-crease.
The group fee rate(s) for April 2023 and the annual individual fund fee rate(s) are reflected in the table be-low:
| Fund | Group Fee Rate | Individual Fund Fee Rate | ||||
| Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund | 0.10% | 0.45% | ||||
| Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund | 0.10% | 0.45% | ||||
| Fidelity® High Income Fund | 0.10% | 0.45% | ||||
The total management fee, as a per-centage of a fund’s average net assets, for the fiscal year ended April 30,
2023, for each fund is shown in the following table. Because each fund’s management fee rate may fluctuate, a fund’s management fee may be higher or lower in the future.
| Fund | Total Management Fee Rate | |
| Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund | 0.55% | |
| Fidelity® Focused High Income Fund | 0.55% | |
| Fidelity® High Income Fund | 0.55% | |
The Adviser pays FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited, Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited, and Fidelity Manage-ment & Research (Japan) Limited for providing sub-advisory services.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for each fund is available in each fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal peri-od ended October 31, 2022.
From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while re-taining the ability to be repaid if ex-penses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Reimbursement or waiver arrange-ments can decrease expenses and boost performance.
Fidelity® Capital & Income Fund and Fidelity® High Income Fund may in-vest in a business development com-pany (BDC) advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Adviser has contrac-
| Prospectus | 40 |
tually agreed to waive its management fee with respect to the portion of Fi-delity® Capital & Income Fund’s and Fidelity® High Income Fund’s assets invested in such BDC. This waiver is in effect through August 31, 2024.
Fidelity® High Income Fund is com-posed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a multiple class fund have a common investment objective and in-vestment portfolio.
FDC distributes each fund’s shares.
Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing record-keeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan ex-penses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of fund shares.
These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.
Distribution and Service Plan(s)
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that the Ad-viser may use its management fee rev-enues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in con-nection with providing services inten-ded to result in the sale of shares of each fund and/or shareholder support
services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for shares of each fund.
If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under a Dis-tribution and Service Plan were con-sidered to be paid out of a fund’s or class’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity® funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity® funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those con-tained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the of-fer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares

Financial Highlights are intended to help you understand the financial history of fund shares for the past 5 years (or, if shorter, the period of operations). Certain information reflects financial results for a single share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in shares (assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The annual information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with fund financial statements, is included in the annual report. Annual reports are available for free upon request.

FORM N-14
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
May 20, 2024
This Statement of Additional Information (SAI) relates to the proposed acquisition of Fidelity Global High Income Fund (Acquired Fund), a series of Fidelity Summer Street Trust, by Fidelity High Income Fund (Acquiring Fund), a series of Fidelity Summer Street Trust. This SAI contains information that may be of interest to shareholders, but which is not included in the Proxy Statement which relates to the Reorganization. As described in the Proxy Statement, Acquiring will acquire all of the assets of Acquired Fund and assume all of Acquired Fund’s liabilities, in exchange solely for corresponding shares of beneficial interest in Acquiring Fund.
This SAI is not a prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may be obtained, without charge, from Fidelity Distributors Company LLC, 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, RI 02917.
This SAI consists of this cover page and the following described documents, each of which is incorporated herein by reference:
| 1. |
| 2. |
| 3. |
| 4. |
| 5. |
| as supplemented March 1, 2024, which was previously filed via EDGAR (Accession No. 0000225322-23-000144). |

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
A table showing the fees of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, and the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization, is included in the “Annual Fund and Class Operating Expenses” section of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
The Reorganization will not result in a material change to the Acquired Fund’s investment portfolio due to the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund. In particular, each security held by the Acquired Fund is eligible to be held by the Acquiring Fund. As a result, a schedule of investments of the Acquired Fund modified to show the effects of the change is not required and is not included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes may be made to the Acquired Fund’s portfolio in advance of the Reorganization and/or the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio following the Reorganization.
There are no material differences between the accounting and valuation policies of the Acquired Fund and those of the Acquiring Fund.
| PART C. | OTHER INFORMATION |
Item 15. Indemnification
Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, “disabling conduct”), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (“FIIOC”) is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC’s performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC’s acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC’s acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC’s acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
