Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
1.Organization.
Fidelity Series Small Cap Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered only to certain other Fidelity funds, Fidelity managed 529 plans, and Fidelity managed collective investment trusts. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2.Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3.Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the other Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $272,623,628 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (91,074,487) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $181,549,141 |
Tax cost | $1,459,370,678 |

Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4.Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Discovery Fund | 821,374,700 | 535,652,858 |
5.Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Discovery Fund | 12,878 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss) ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Discovery Fund | 86,384,925 | 34,271,525 | 5,568,501 |
6.Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7.Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Discovery Fund | 4,510 | 3 | - |
8.Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $1,219.
9.Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, mutual funds and accounts managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
10.Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Series Small Cap Discovery Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board considered all factors it believed relevant and reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and the fact that no fee is payable under the management contract was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance and noted that the fund is not publicly offered as a stand-alone investment product. In this regard, the Board noted that the fund is designed to offer an investment option for other investment companies, 529 plans, and collective investment trusts managed by Fidelity and ultimately to enhance the performance of those investment companies, 529 plans, and collective investment trusts.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered that the fund does not pay FMR a management fee for investment advisory services, but that FMR receives fees for providing services to funds that invest in the fund. The Board noted that FMR or an affiliate undertakes to pay all operating expenses of the fund, except transfer agent fees, 12b-1 fees, Independent Trustee fees and expenses, custodian fees and expenses, proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation expenses). The Board further noted that the fund pays its non-operating expenses, including brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the fund's securities lending program, if applicable.
The Board further considered that FMR has contractually agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating expenses, with certain exceptions, as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.003% through August 31, 2027.
Based on its review, the Board considered that the fund does not pay a management fee and concluded that the total expense ratio of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund were not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund with certain exceptions.
Economies of Scale. The Board concluded that because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund with certain exceptions, the realization of economies of scale was not a material factor in the Board's decision to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
1. Organization.
Fidelity Founders Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Fidelity Founders Fund, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I and Class Z are Fidelity Advisor classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $58,380,035 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (4,478,514) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $53,901,521 |
Tax cost | $110,665,260 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
Short-term | $(564,216) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(564,216) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Founders Fund | 37,938,739 | 31,278,460 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.
The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class (subject to a performance adjustment). The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee. Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month. The management fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. When determining a class's basic 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 basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.
| Maximum Management Fee Rate % |
Class A | 0.72 |
Class M | 0.71 |
Class C | 0.72 |
Fidelity Founders Fund | 0.72 |
Class I | 0.65 |
Class Z | 0.56 |
One-twelfth of the basic 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 basic fee for the class for that month. A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the 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 the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:
| Total Management Fee Rate % |
Class A | .72 |
Class M | .71 |
Class C | .72 |
Fidelity Founders Fund | .67 |
Class I | .65 |
Class Z | .56 |
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the Fund's performance to that of the performance adjustment index listed below.
| Performance Adjustment Index |
Fidelity Founders Fund | Russell 3000 Index |
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the Fund, the Fund's investment performance is based on the performance of Fidelity Founders Fund. To the extent that other classes of the Fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered. The performance period is the most recent 36 month period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.10% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is proportionately added to or subtracted from a class's basic fee. For the reporting period, the total annualized performance adjustment was (.03)%.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees ($) | Retained by FDC ($) |
Class A | - % | .25% | 31,237 | 1,299 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 38,636 | - |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 16,522 | 1,801 |
| | | 86,395 | 3,100 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC ($) |
Class A | 8,199 |
Class M | 1,283 |
Class CA | 155 |
| 9,637 |
A When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Founders Fund | 401 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss) ($) |
Fidelity Founders Fund | 1,085,705 | 774,303 | 105,310 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Founders Fund | 101 |
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Founders Fund | 400 | 68 | - |
8. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $235.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended October 31, 2024 | Year ended April 30, 2024 |

11. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Note: This information is disclosed as part of the financial statements for each Fund as part of Item 7: Financial Statements and Financial Highlights for Open-End Management Investment companies.
Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Founders Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and the total expense ratio of a representative class (the retail class, which was selected because it was the largest class without 12b-1 fees); (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that, effective March 1, 2024, an amended Advisory Contract with FMR went into effect with class-level management fees based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the variable management fee, each class of the fund receives investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the management fee and total expense ratio of the retail class, the Board considered a pro forma management fee rate for the retail class as if it had been in effect for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, as well as other third-party fund expenses, as applicable, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees and any fund-paid 12b-1 fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. The Board also considered information about the impact of the fund's performance adjustment.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps and without taking into account the fund's performance adjustment) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the retail class of the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked above the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the retail class of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Board considered that the fund has a variable unified management fee that covers expenses for services beyond portfolio management.
The Board noted that a different variable management fee rate is applicable to each class of the fund. The Board considered that the difference in management fee rates between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses and not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period (a rolling 36-month period) exceeds, or is exceeded by, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior long-term performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the shareholders of the fund.
In connection with its consideration of the fund's performance adjustment, the Board noted that the performance of the retail class is used for purposes of determining the performance adjustment. The Board noted that to the extent the performance adjustment was based on the performance of a share class with higher total annual operating expenses, the fund would be subject to a smaller positive and larger negative performance adjustment. The Board considered the appropriateness of the use of the retail class as the basis for the performance adjustment. The Board noted that the retail class is typically the largest class (reflecting the actual investment experience for the plurality of shareholders), employs a standard expense structure, and does not include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, which Fidelity believes makes it a more appropriate measurement of Fidelity's investment skill.
Other Contractual Arrangements. The Board further considered that FMR has contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I, Class Z and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses, with certain exceptions, as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.15%, 1.40%, 1.90%, 0.90%, 0.75%, and 0.90% through August 31, 2025.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee, including the use of the retail class as the basis for the performance adjustment, is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund, and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist at the asset class level and through a discount that considers both fund size and total assets of the four applicable asset classes. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount factor, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $242,308 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (52,974) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $189,334 |
Tax cost | $994,898 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
The Fund elected to defer to its next fiscal year approximately $634 of ordinary losses recognized during the period January 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | 603,130 | 659,754 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.
Any reference to "class" in this note shall mean "the Fund" as the Fund currently offers only one class of shares. The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class (subject to a performance adjustment). The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee. Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month. The management fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. When determining a class's basic 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 basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.
| Maximum Management Fee Rate % |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | .82 |
One-twelfth of the basic 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 basic fee for the class for that month. A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the 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 the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:
| Total Management Fee Rate % |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | .81 |
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the Fund's performance to that of the performance adjustment index listed below.
| Performance Adjustment Index |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | Russell 2000 Index |
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the Fund, the Fund's investment performance is based on the performance of the Fund. To the extent that other classes of the Fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered. The performance period is the most recent 36 month period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is proportionately added to or subtracted from a class's basic fee. For the reporting period, the total annualized performance adjustment was .05%.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | 21 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss) ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | 42,000 | 63,170 | 1,012 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | 1 |
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund | 3 | -A | - |
| | | |
A Amount represents less than five hundred dollars.
8. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that, effective March 1, 2024, an amended Advisory Contract with FMR went into effect with a fee based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the management fee, the fund will receive investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's pro forma management fee rate as if it had been in effect for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, as well as other third-party fund expenses, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps and without taking into account the fund's performance adjustment) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period (a rolling 36-month period) exceeds, or is exceeded by, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior long-term performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the shareholders of the fund.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist at the asset class level and through a discount that considers both fund size and total assets of the four applicable asset classes. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount factor, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I and Class Z shares on October 8, 2024. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Mid-Cap Stock, Class K, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I and Class Z are Fidelity Advisor classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. Securities, including private placements or other restricted securities, for which observable inputs are not available are valued using alternate valuation approaches, including the market approach, the income approach and cost approach, and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The market approach considers factors including the price of recent investments in the same or a similar security or financial metrics of comparable securities. The income approach considers factors including expected future cash flows, security specific risks and corresponding discount rates. The cost approach considers factors including the value of the security's underlying assets and liabilities.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
The following provides information on Level 3 securities held by the Fund that were valued at period end based on unobservable inputs. These amounts exclude valuations provided by a broker.
Asset Type | Fair Value | Valuation Technique (s) | Unobservable Input | Amount or Range / Weighted Average | Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input* |
Equities | $121,561 | Market comparable | Enterprise value/Revenue multiple (EV/R) | 2.7 - 14.2 / 14.2 | Increase |
| | | Enterprise value/EBITDA multiple (EV/EBITDA) | 22.3 | Increase |
| | Market approach | Transaction price | $60.73 | Increase |
| | | Discount rate | 40.0% | Decrease |
A Represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that could have resulted from an increase in the corresponding input as of period end. A decrease to the unobservable input would have had the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs may have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at period end.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 investments, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for certain Funds, certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in affiliated mutual funds, are marked-to-market and remain in a fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees presented below are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, as applicable.
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | $394 |
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in-kind, partnerships and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $1,886,544 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (243,683) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $1,642,861 |
Tax cost | $6,020,989 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.
Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):
| |
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts were used to manage exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end, and is representative of volume of activity during the period unless an average notional amount is presented. Any securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Any cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements is presented as segregated cash with brokers for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | 2,914,219 | 2,138,279 |
Unaffiliated Redemptions In-Kind. Shares that were redeemed in-kind for investments, including accrued interest and cash, if any, are shown in the table below. The net realized gain or loss on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the "Net realized gain (loss) on: Redemptions in-kind" line in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of the in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets. There was no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
| Shares | Total net realized gain or loss ($) | Total Proceeds ($) |

| Shares | Total net realized gain or loss ($) | Total Proceeds ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | 3,712 | 51,953 | 148,354 |
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.
The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class (subject to a performance adjustment). The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee. Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month. The management fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. When determining a class's basic 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 basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.
| Maximum Management Fee Rate % |
Class A | .68 |
Class M | .68 |
Class C | .68 |
Mid-Cap Stock | .64 |
Class K | .55 |
Class I | .68 |
Class Z | .55 |
One-twelfth of the basic 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 basic fee for the class for that month. A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the 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 the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:
| Total Management Fee Rate % |
Class A | .65 |
Class M | .67 |
Class C | .67 |
Mid-Cap Stock | .62 |
Class K | .55 |
Class I | .67 |
Class Z | .55 |
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the Fund's performance to that of the performance adjustment index listed below.
| Performance Adjustment Index |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | S&P MidCap 400 Index |
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the Fund, the Fund's investment performance is based on the performance of Mid-Cap Stock. To the extent that other classes of the Fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered. The performance period is the most recent 36 month period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is proportionately added to or subtracted from a class's basic fee. For the reporting period, the total annualized performance adjustment was .06%.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees ($) | Retained by FDC ($) |
Class A | - % | .25% | -A | -A |
Class M | .25% | .25% | -A | -A |
Class C | .75% | .25% | -A | -A |
| | | -A | -A |

FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares. For the period, no sales charge amounts were retained by FDC.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds at rates that are beneficial to both the borrowing and lending fund. Borrowings under the program are generally for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting fund shareholder redemptions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Exemptive Order, by averaging, (1) the higher of the overnight time deposit rate and the current overnight repurchase agreement rate, and (2) a benchmark rate representing the lowest bank loan rate available to the funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance ($) | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | Borrower | 8,077 | 5.43% | 28 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | 314,898 | 148,209 | 24,472 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund | 13 | - | - |
9. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $1.
10. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

12. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
13. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and the total expense ratio of a representative class (the retail class, which was selected because it was the largest class); (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that, effective March 1, 2024, an amended Advisory Contract with FMR went into effect with class-level management fees based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the variable management fee, each class of the fund receives investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the management fee and total expense ratio of the retail class, the Board considered a pro forma management fee rate for the retail class as if it had been in effect for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, as well as other third-party fund expenses, as applicable, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. The Board also considered information about the impact of the fund's performance adjustment.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps and without taking into account the fund's performance adjustment) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the retail class of the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the retail class of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the retail class of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
The Board noted that a different variable management fee rate is applicable to each class of the fund. The Board considered that the difference in management fee rates between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses and not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period (a rolling 36-month period) exceeds, or is exceeded by, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior long-term performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the shareholders of the fund.
In connection with its consideration of the fund's performance adjustment, the Board noted that the performance of the retail class is used for purposes of determining the performance adjustment. The Board noted that to the extent the performance adjustment was based on the performance of a share class with higher total annual operating expenses, the fund would be subject to a smaller positive and larger negative performance adjustment. The Board considered the appropriateness of the use of the retail class the basis for the performance adjustment. The Board noted that the retail class is typically the largest class (reflecting the actual investment experience for the plurality of shareholders), employs a standard expense structure, and does not include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, which Fidelity believes makes it a more appropriate measurement of Fidelity's investment skill.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee, including the use of the retail class as the basis for the performance adjustment, is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist at the asset class level and through a discount that considers both fund size and total assets of the four applicable asset classes. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount factor, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

At its July 2024 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve an amended and restated management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain of its affiliates (the Amended Contract) for the fund to add the management fee schedule and maximum management fee rate for each of the new classes of the fund: Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I and Class Z (each a New Class and together, the New Classes). The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requested and considered a broad range of information.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board previously received and considered materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by FMR and certain of its affiliates to the fund, including the resources dedicated to investment management and support services, shareholder and administrative services, the benefits to shareholders of investment in a large fund family, and the investment performance of the fund in connection with the annual renewal of the fund's current management contract. At its May 2024 meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund under the existing management contract should continue to benefit the fund's shareholders. In connection with its approval of the Amended Contract at its July 2024 meeting, the Board noted that such approval would not change the fund's portfolio managers, the investment processes, the level or nature of services provided, the resources and personnel allocated or trading and compliance operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the New Classes of the fund under the Amended Contract will continue to benefit the fund's shareholders.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the proposed tiered class-level management fee schedule and maximum class-level management fee rate of each New Class of the fund and the projected total expense ratio of each New Class. The Board also considered that, in exchange for the variable management fee, each class of the fund receives investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. The Board noted that the projected class-level management fee for each New Class of the fund is below the median of its competitor funds. The Board also considered that the estimated total net expense ratio of Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class Z of the fund is below the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparison that have a similar sales load structure and that the estimated total net expenses of Class M is above the median of those funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparison that have a similar sales load structure primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees.
The Board noted that the difference in management fee rates between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. The Board further noted that such differences are not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class.
In connection with its consideration of the New Classes' management fee rates, the Board noted that the fund's management fee is subject to a performance adjustment. The Board further noted that the performance of the retail class is used for purposes of determining the performance adjustment. The Board noted that to the extent the performance adjustment was based on the performance of a share class with higher total annual operating expenses, the fund would be subject to a smaller positive and larger negative performance adjustment. The Board considered the appropriateness of the use of retail class as the basis for the performance adjustment. The Board noted that the retail class is typically the largest class (reflecting the actual investment experience for the plurality of shareholders), employs a standard expense structure, and does not include fund-paid 12b-1 fees, which Fidelity believes makes it a more appropriate measurement of Fidelity's investment skill.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the projected management fee and estimated total expense ratio of each New Class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered that it previously reviewed information regarding the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by FMR in providing services to the fund and the level of FMR's profitability. At its May 2024 meeting, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that the profitability of FMR in connection with the operation of the fund was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that it previously received and reviewed information regarding whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is a potential realization of any further economies of scale and that it concluded, at its May 2024 meeting, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity. The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist at the asset class level and through a discount that considers both fund size and total assets of the four applicable asset classes. The Board will continue to review economies of scale in connection with future renewals of the Amended Contract.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structure for the New Classes of the fund was fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Amended Contract should be approved through May 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
1. Organization.
Fidelity Large Cap Stock K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $23,240,403 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (1,199,204) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $22,041,199 |
Tax cost | $41,277,827 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including options. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.
Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):
| |
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Options. Options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying security or financial instrument at an agreed exercise or strike price between or on certain dates. Options obligate the seller (writer) to buy (put) or sell (call) an underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price or cash settle an underlying derivative instrument if the holder exercises the option on or before the expiration date.
Exchange-traded written covered call options were used to manage exposure to the market. When a fund writes a covered call option, a fund holds the underlying instrument which must be delivered to the holder upon the exercise of the option.
Upon entering into a written options contract, a fund will receive a premium. Premiums received are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Options are valued daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in total accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a written option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining the gain or loss realized on that investment. When an option is closed, a gain or loss is realized depending on whether the proceeds or amount paid for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium received. When an option expires, gains and losses are realized to the extent of premiums received. The net realized gain (loss) on closed and expired written options and the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options are presented in the Statement of Operations.
Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument and risk of loss is the change in value in excess of the premium received.
Any open options at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Written Options", and are representative of volume of activity during the period unless an average contracts amount is presented.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock K6 Fund | 8,209,489 | 2,985,614 |
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .45% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock K6 Fund | 164 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock K6 Fund | 816,470 | 192,762 | 44,022 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock K6 Fund | 3 | - | - |
9. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $147.
10. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Large Cap Stock K6 Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's unitary fee rate as well as other fund expenses paid by FMR under the fund's management contract, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board recognized that, due to the fund's current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund's operating costs decrease as assets grow, or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
1. Organization.
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $197,757,884 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (27,210,018) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $170,547,866 |
Tax cost | $833,632,453 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
Short-term | $(14,779,572) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(14,779,572) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .45% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock K6 Fund | 14,011 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds at rates that are beneficial to both the borrowing and lending fund. Borrowings under the program are generally for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting fund shareholder redemptions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Exemptive Order, by averaging, (1) the higher of the overnight time deposit rate and the current overnight repurchase agreement rate, and (2) a benchmark rate representing the lowest bank loan rate available to the funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance ($) | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock K6 Fund | Borrower | 7,549,400 | 5.08% | 5,326 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock K6 Fund | 44,759,116 | 36,879,095 | 8,621,614 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock K6 Fund | 1,816 | - | - |
8. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $2,882.
9. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

(Unaudited)
Note: This information is disclosed as part of the financial statements for each Fund as part of Item 7: Financial Statements and Financial Highlights for Open-End Management Investment companies.
Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock K6 Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's unitary fee rate as well as other fund expenses paid by FMR under the fund's management contract, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board recognized that, due to the fund's current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund's operating costs decrease as assets grow, or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, redemptions in-kind and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $2,076,106 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (121,945) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $1,954,161 |
Tax cost | $3,089,427 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including options. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.
Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):
| |
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Options. Options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying security or financial instrument at an agreed exercise or strike price between or on certain dates. Options obligate the seller (writer) to buy (put) or sell (call) an underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price or cash settle an underlying derivative instrument if the holder exercises the option on or before the expiration date.
Exchange-traded written covered call options were used to manage exposure to the market. When a fund writes a covered call option, a fund holds the underlying instrument which must be delivered to the holder upon the exercise of the option.
Upon entering into a written options contract, a fund will receive a premium. Premiums received are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Options are valued daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in total accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a written option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining the gain or loss realized on that investment. When an option is closed, a gain or loss is realized depending on whether the proceeds or amount paid for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium received. When an option expires, gains and losses are realized to the extent of premiums received. The net realized gain (loss) on closed and expired written options and the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options are presented in the Statement of Operations.
Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument and risk of loss is the change in value in excess of the premium received.
Any open options at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Written Options", and are representative of volume of activity during the period unless an average contracts amount is presented.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | 545,480 | 286,134 |
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.
Any reference to "class" in this note shall mean "the Fund" as the Fund currently offers only one class of shares. The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class (subject to a performance adjustment). The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee. Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month. The management fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. When determining a class's basic 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 basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.
| Maximum Management Fee Rate % |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | .66 |
One-twelfth of the basic 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 basic fee for the class for that month. A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the 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 the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:
| Total Management Fee Rate % |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | .63 |
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the Fund's performance to that of the performance adjustment index listed below.
| Performance Adjustment Index |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | S&P 500 Index |
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the Fund, the Fund's investment performance is based on the performance of the Fund. To the extent that other classes of the Fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered. The performance period is the most recent 36 month period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is proportionately added to or subtracted from a class's basic fee. For the reporting period, the total annualized performance adjustment was .11%.
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | 51,548 | 13,025 | 2,423 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | 3 |
8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund | 1 | - | - |
9. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $1.
10. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that, effective March 1, 2024, an amended Advisory Contract with FMR went into effect with a fee based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the management fee, the fund will receive investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's pro forma management fee rate as if it had been in effect for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, as well as other third-party fund expenses, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps and without taking into account the fund's performance adjustment) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and above the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Board considered that the fund has a variable unified management fee that covers expenses for services beyond portfolio management.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period (a rolling 36-month period) exceeds, or is exceeded by, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior long-term performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the shareholders of the fund.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist at the asset class level and through a discount that considers both fund size and total assets of the four applicable asset classes. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount factor, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
1. Organization.
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund | 36,985,322 | 84,285,406 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .60% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund | 1,693 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds at rates that are beneficial to both the borrowing and lending fund. Borrowings under the program are generally for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting fund shareholder redemptions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Exemptive Order, by averaging, (1) the higher of the overnight time deposit rate and the current overnight repurchase agreement rate, and (2) a benchmark rate representing the lowest bank loan rate available to the funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance ($) | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund | Borrower | 1,577,000 | 5.08% | 1,112 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund | 2,010,646 | 12,782,674 | 1,408,909 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund | 206 | 233 | - |
8. Bank Borrowings.
The Fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity requirements. The Fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Any open loans, including accrued interest, at period end are presented under the caption "Notes payable" in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows: | Average Loan Balance ($) | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund | 2,949,500 | 5.33% | 873 |
9. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $40.
10. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Item 11: Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(Unaudited)
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Small Cap Stock K6 Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's unitary fee rate as well as other fund expenses paid by FMR under the fund's management contract, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board recognized that, due to the fund's current contractual arrangements, its expense ratio will not decline if the fund's operating costs decrease as assets grow or rise as assets decrease. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)For the period ended October 31, 2024
1. Organization.
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $534,769,593 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (168,572,668) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $366,196,925 |
Tax cost | $2,035,122,724 |
| |
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | 757,751,989 | 1,079,410,296 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee.
Any reference to "class" in this note shall mean "the Fund" as the Fund currently offers only one class of shares. The Fund's management contract incorporates a basic fee rate that may vary by class (subject to a performance adjustment). The investment adviser or an affiliate pays certain expenses of managing and operating the Fund out of each class's management fee. Each class of the Fund pays a management fee to the investment adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the investment adviser every month. The management fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. When determining a class's basic 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 basic fee rate for a class of shares of the Fund is the lesser of (1) the class's mandate rate reduced by the class's discount rate (if applicable) or (2) the amount set forth in the following table.
| Maximum Management Fee Rate % |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | .84 |
One-twelfth of the basic 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 basic fee for the class for that month. A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the 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 the Fund's assets, which do not vary by class. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rates were as follows:
| Total Management Fee Rate % |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | .78 |
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the Fund's performance to that of the performance adjustment index listed below.
| Performance Adjustment Index |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | Russell 2000 Index |
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the Fund, the Fund's investment performance is based on the performance of the Fund. To the extent that other classes of the Fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered. The performance period is the most recent 36 month period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the Fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is proportionately added to or subtracted from a class's basic fee. For the reporting period, the total annualized performance adjustment was .22%.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | 14,745 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds at rates that are beneficial to both the borrowing and lending fund. Borrowings under the program are generally for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting fund shareholder redemptions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Exemptive Order, by averaging, (1) the higher of the overnight time deposit rate and the current overnight repurchase agreement rate, and (2) a benchmark rate representing the lowest bank loan rate available to the funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance ($) | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | Borrower | 13,651,000 | 5.07% | 7,690 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | 59,733,027 | 98,999,129 | 22,324,138 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | 1,782 |
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund | 2,484 | 1 | - |
8. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $2,280.
9. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and certain affiliates and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness relative to peer funds of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio; (iii) the total costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by FMR and its affiliates (Fidelity) from its relationships with the fund; and (iv) the extent to which, if any, economies of scale exist and are realized as the fund grows, and whether any economies of scale are appropriately shared with fund shareholders. The Board also considered the broad range of investment choices available to shareholders from FMR's competitors and that the fund's shareholders have chosen to invest in the fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder, transfer agency, and pricing and bookkeeping services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value and convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information over the Internet and through telephone representatives, investor education materials, and asset allocation tools. The Board also considered that it reviews customer service metrics such as telephone response times, continuity of services on the website and metrics addressing services at Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds and/or the Fidelity funds in general.
Investment Performance. The Board took into account discussions that occur with representatives of the Investment Advisers, and reports that it receives, at Board meetings throughout the year, relating to fund investment performance. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considered annualized return information for the fund for different time periods, measured against an appropriate securities market index (benchmark index) and an appropriate peer group of funds with similar objectives (peer group). The Board also considered information about performance attribution. In its ongoing evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gives particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of the funds over different time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for any overperformance or underperformance.
In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. The Independent Trustees generally give greater weight to fund performance over longer time periods than over shorter time periods. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index or peer group for certain periods.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. The Board considered that, effective March 1, 2024, an amended Advisory Contract with FMR went into effect with a fee based on tiered schedules and subject to a maximum class-level rate (the management fee). The Board also considered that in exchange for the management fee, the fund will receive investment advisory, management, administrative, transfer agent, and pricing and bookkeeping services. In its review of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's pro forma management fee rate as if it had been in effect for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, as well as other third-party fund expenses, such as custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund.
Comparisons of Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for selected groups of competitive funds and classes (referred to as "mapped groups") that were compiled by Fidelity based on combining similar investment objective categories (as classified by Morningstar) that have comparable investment mandates. The data reviewed by the Board included (i) gross management fee comparisons (before taking into account expense reimbursements or caps and without taking into account the fund's performance adjustment) relative to the total universe of funds within the mapped group; (ii) gross management fee comparisons relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds in the mapped group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "asset size peer group"); (iii) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the mapped group that have a similar sales load structure to the fund (referred to as the "similar sales load structure group"); and (iv) total expense comparisons of the fund relative to funds and classes in the similar sales load structure group that are similar in size and management fee structure to the fund (referred to as the "total expense asset size peer group"). The total expense asset size peer group comparison excludes performance adjustments and fund-paid 12b-1 fees to eliminate variability in fee structures.
The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the competitive median of the mapped group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Further, the information provided to the Board indicated that the total expense ratio of the fund ranked below the competitive median of the similar sales load structure group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 and below the competitive median of the total expense asset size peer group for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period (a rolling 36-month period) exceeds, or is exceeded by, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior long-term performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the shareholders of the fund.
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients with similar mandates. The Board noted that a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically reviews and compares Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds and also noted the most recent findings of the committee. The Board noted that the committee's review included a consideration of the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in the markets serving the different categories of clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered. Further, based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationships with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies and the full Board approves such changes.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that a committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds periodically analyzes whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a variable management fee structure, which provides breakpoints as a way to share, in part, any potential economies of scale that may exist at the asset class level and through a discount that considers both fund size and total assets of the four applicable asset classes. The Board considered that the variable management fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all funds subject to the variable management fee, and all such funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the variable management fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees due to the application of the breakpoints and discount factor, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.

1.Organization.
Fidelity Series Small Cap Core Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Concord Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered only to certain other Fidelity funds, Fidelity managed 529 plans, and Fidelity managed collective investment trusts. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2.Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense RatioA |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% |
A Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3.Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of October 31, 2024 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $131,475,443 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (72,562,381) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $58,913,062 |
Tax cost | $1,189,651,342 |
New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments enhance required disclosures of segment information for public entities on an annual and interim basis. The ASU allows for early adoption with updates applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.
4.Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.
Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):
| |
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. Futures contracts were used to manage exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end, and is representative of volume of activity during the period unless an average notional amount is presented. Any securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Any cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements is presented as segregated cash with brokers for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5.Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, as applicable, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Core Fund | 835,535,122 | 198,455,439 |
6.Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Core Fund | 11,823 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note. Interfund trades during the period are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Realized Gain (Loss)($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Core Fund | 80,857,208 | 16,985,445 | (283,729) |
7.Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8.Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS ($) | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS ($) | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End ($) |
Fidelity Series Small Cap Core Fund | 8,669 | - | - |
9.Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded .003% of average net assets. This reimbursement will remain in place through August 31, 2027. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain other expenses such as interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. During the period this reimbursement reduced the Fund's expenses by $16,017.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $1,672.
10.Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, mutual funds and accounts managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
10.Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Series Small Cap Core Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), considers the renewal of the fund's management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. FMR and the sub-advisers are referred to herein as the Investment Advisers. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees (each of which is composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees), requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to review matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through joint ad hoc committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Board unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board considered all factors it believed relevant and reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and the fact that no fee is payable under the management contract was fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds and experience of investment personnel of the Investment Advisers, and also considered the Investment Advisers' implementation of the fund's investment program. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the investment personnel compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted the resources devoted to expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization, and that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools, and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties, and guarantors. Further, the Board considered that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, compliance, and technology and operations capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.
Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of Fidelity's supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians, subcustodians, and pricing vendors; and (iii) the resources devoted by Fidelity to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered the fund's securities lending activities and any payments made to Fidelity relating to securities lending under a separate agreement.
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance and noted that the fund is not publicly offered as a stand-alone investment product. In this regard, the Board noted that the fund is designed to offer an investment option for other investment companies, 529 plans, and collective investment trusts managed by Fidelity and ultimately to enhance the performance of those investment companies, 529 plans, and collective investment trusts.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should continue to benefit the shareholders of the fund.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered that the fund does not pay FMR a management fee for investment advisory services, but that FMR receives fees for providing services to funds that invest in the fund. The Board noted that FMR or an affiliate undertakes to pay all operating expenses of the fund, except transfer agent fees, 12b-1 fees, Independent Trustee fees and expenses, custodian fees and expenses, proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation expenses). The Board further noted that the fund pays its non-operating expenses, including brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the fund's securities lending program, if applicable.
The Board further considered that FMR has contractually agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating expenses, with certain exceptions, as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.003% through August 31, 2027.
Based on its review, the Board considered that the fund does not pay a management fee and concluded that the total expense ratio of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
A public accounting firm has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. The engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of certain fund profitability information and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering the reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and potential indirect benefits such businesses may have received as a result of their association with Fidelity's fund business (i.e., fall-out benefits) as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from the funds' business. The Board considered areas where potential indirect benefits to the Fidelity funds from their relationships with Fidelity may exist. The Board's consideration of these matters was informed by the findings of a joint ad hoc committee created by it and the boards of other Fidelity funds to evaluate potential fall-out benefits.
The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund were not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund with certain exceptions.
Economies of Scale. The Board concluded that because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund with certain exceptions, the realization of economies of scale was not a material factor in the Board's decision to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' advisory contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including but not limited to: (i) fund flow and performance trends, in particular the underperformance of certain funds and strategies, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the operation of performance fees and the rationale for implementing performance fees on certain categories of funds but not others; (iii) Fidelity's pricing philosophy compared to competitors; (iv) fund profitability methodology and data; (v) evaluation of competitive fund data and peer group classifications and fee and expense comparisons; (vi) the management fee and expense structures for different funds and classes and information about the differences between various fee and expense structures; (vii) the variable management fee implemented for certain funds effective March 1, 2024; and (viii) information regarding other accounts managed by Fidelity and the funds' sub-advisory arrangements.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fee arrangements are fair and reasonable in light of all of the surrounding circumstances and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed through May 31, 2025.
