Investment performance of the Fidelity Freedom Target Date products depends on the performance of the underlying investment options and on the proportion of the assets invested in each underlying investment option. The performance of the underlying investment options depends, in turn, on their investments. The performance of these investments will vary day to day in response to many factors. The investment risk of each target date product changes over time as its asset allocation, including its proportion of equity to fixed income investments, changes, but generally, there is always an equity allocation, even after the target date has been met. These risks are subject to the asset allocation decisions of the portfolio manager. Except for the target date index products, pursuant to the portfolio manager's ability to use an active asset allocation strategy, investors may be subject to a different risk profile compared to the pool's neutral asset allocation strategy shown in its glide path. The target date products are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, commodity-linked, and foreign securities. Fixed income investments entail issuer default and credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall and vice versa). This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. The target date products are subject to the risks associated with investing in a passively managed underlying pool in which the passively managed underlying pool’s performance could be lower than an actively managed pool that shifts its portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. FIAM reserves the right to buy and sell futures contracts (both long and short positions) in any target date pool in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently, remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation.

No target date investment option is considered a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee any single investment option will provide sufficient retirement income at or through retirement. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the Target Date products' target dates.

Before investing in any mutual fund, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
