Summary Prospectus

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder 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 and if you hold your shares:

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a 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 129% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Until October 30, 2013, the Principal Investment Strategies of the fund are as follows:

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Barclays ® U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index.
  • Normally maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity between three and 10 years.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
  • Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives - such as swaps (interest rate, total return, and credit default), options, and futures contracts - and forward-settling securities, to adjust the fund's risk exposure.

Summary Prospectus

Fund Summary - continued

  • Investing in Fidelity's central funds (specialized investment vehicles used by Fidelity funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines).

Effective October 30, 2013, the preceding Principal Investment Strategies will be replaced with the following:

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.
  • Managing the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Fidelity Limited Term Composite Index SM .
  • Normally maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity between two and five years.
  • Allocating assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Analyzing the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features, current and potential future valuation, and trading opportunities to select investments.
  • Engaging in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives - such as swaps (interest rate, total return, and credit default), options, and futures contracts - and forward-settling securities, to adjust the fund's risk exposure.
  • Investing in Fidelity's central funds (specialized investment vehicles used by Fidelity funds to invest in particular security types or investment disciplines).

Principal Investment Risks

  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
  • Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
  • 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. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.

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. Unlike individual debt securities, which typically pay principal at maturity, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Subject to certain limited exceptions described in the Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares section of the prospectus, the fund no longer accepts investments in Class B shares. Any purchase order for Class B shares of the fund (other than from an existing Class B shareholder pursuant to an exchange or the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions paid on Class B shares) will be deemed to be a purchase order for Class A shares of the fund and will be subject to any applicable Class A front-end sales charge.

Summary Prospectus

The price to buy one share of Class A or Class T is its offering price, if you pay a front-end sales charge, or its net asset value per share (NAV), if you qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver. The price to buy one share of Class B or Class C is its NAV. Your shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after your order is received in proper form.

The price to sell one share of Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C is its NAV, minus any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus any applicable CDSC.

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

Initial Purchase Minimum

$2,500

For Fidelity Advisor Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Rollover IRA, Simplified Employee Pension-IRA, and Keogh accounts

$500

Through a regular investment plan established at the time the fund position is opened

$100

The fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

After a maximum of four years from the initial purchase date, Class B shares convert automatically to Class A shares of the fund at NAV.

Tax Information

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The fund, FMR, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, or other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web site for more information.
