AStrategic Advisers LLC (Strategic Advisers) has contractually agreed that the fund's maximum aggregate annual management fee will not exceed 1.00% of the fund's average daily net assets. In addition, Strategic Advisers has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the fund's management fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the fund's average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through September 30, 2026, and neither Strategic Advisers nor any of its affiliates retain the ability to be repaid with respect to this arrangement. Strategic Advisers may not terminate this arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
BDiffers from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus because of acquired fund fees and expenses.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of affiliated mutual funds but may incur transaction costs when buying or selling non-affiliated funds and other types of securities (including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)) directly (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 27% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • Normally investing primarily in non-U.S. securities, including securities of issuers located in emerging markets. Emerging markets include countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by MSCI, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets that the Adviser identifies as having similar emerging markets characteristics.
  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Allocating investments across different countries and regions.
  • Implementing investment strategies by investing directly in securities through one or more managers (sub-advisers) or indirectly in securities through one or more other funds, referred to as underlying funds, which in turn invest directly in securities (as described below).
  • Allocating assets among affiliated international funds (i.e., Fidelity® funds, including mutual funds and ETFs), non-affiliated international funds that participate in Fidelity's FundsNetwork®, non-affiliated ETFs (collectively, underlying funds), and sub-advisers.
  • Allocating assets among underlying funds and sub-advisers to attempt to diversify its portfolio in terms of market capitalization, investment style, and geographic region.
  • Allocating assets among sub-advisers and underlying funds using proprietary fundamental and quantitative research, considering factors including, but not limited to, performance in different market environments, manager experience and investment style, management company infrastructure, costs, asset size, and portfolio turnover.
Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategic Advisers LLC (Strategic Advisers) is permitted, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, to enter into new or amended sub-advisory agreements with one or more unaffiliated sub-advisers without obtaining shareholder approval of such agreements. Subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees, Strategic Advisers has the ultimate responsibility to oversee the fund's sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination, and replacement. In the event the Board of Trustees approves a sub-advisory agreement with a new unaffiliated sub-adviser, shareholders will be provided with information about the new sub-adviser and sub-advisory agreement.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk.
Separate investment decisions and the resulting purchase and sale activities of the fund's sub-advisers might adversely affect the fund's performance or lead to disadvantageous tax consequences.
  • Investing in Other Funds.
Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, which means that the fund's manager may not be able to invest as much as it wants to in some other funds. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives. Underlying funds that are passively managed attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities and as such their performance could be lower than actively managed funds, which may shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline. In addition, errors in the construction of the index tracked by an underlying passively managed fund may have an adverse impact on the performance of such underlying fund.
  • Stock Market Volatility.
Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
  • Foreign Exposure.
Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors.
Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
  • Geographic Exposure.
Social, political, and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country or region could significantly affect the market in that country or region.
  • Geographic Exposure to Europe.
Because the fund invests a meaningful portion of its assets in Europe, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions within Europe and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.
  • Industry Exposure.
Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
  • Investing in ETFs.
ETFs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other benchmark.
  • Quantitative Investing.
Securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes in the factors' historical trends.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.You could lose money by investing in the fund.

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