Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements

Certain portions of this report, including, but not limited to, “Results of Operations” and “Recent Developments”, may contain forward-looking statements about the Fund, including its strategy, risks, expected performance and condition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates” and similar forward-looking expressions or negative versions thereof.

In addition, any statement that may be made concerning future performance, strategies or prospects, and possible future Fund action, is also a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are inherently subject to, among other things, risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Fund and economic factors. Accordingly, assumptions concerning future economic and other factors may prove to be incorrect at a future date.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual events and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking state-ments made by the Fund. Any number of important factors could contribute to these digressions, including, but not limited to, general economic, political and market factors in North America and internationally, interest and foreign exchange rates, global equity and capital markets, business competition, technological change, changes in government regulations, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, and catastrophic events.

It should be stressed that the above-mentioned list of important factors is not exhaustive. You are encouraged to consider these and other factors carefully before making any investment decisions and you are urged to avoid placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, you should be aware of the fact that the Fund has no specific intention of updating any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, prior to the release of the next Management Report of Fund Performance.

Management Discussion of Fund PerformanceInvestment Objective and StrategiesInvestment Objective: Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund (Fund) aims to provide a steady flow of income by investing primarily in fixed-income securities issued by Canadian and foreign corporations.

Strategies: The portfolio managers use the FTSE Canada All Corporate Bond Index (Capped) as a guide to structuring the Fund and selecting investments. While the portfolio managers manage the Fund to have overall interest rate risk similar to that of the Index, the Fund’s specific investments may or may not be included in the Index. The portfolio managers allocate the Fund’s assets among issuers in different industries and among different maturities based on their view of the relative value of each issuer, industry or maturity. When buying and selling fixed-income securities, the portfolio managers analyze each security’s features, its current price compared to its estimated long-term value, the credit quality of the issuer, and any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies.

RiskThe risks associated with investing in the Fund remain as discussed in the prospectus. Any changes to the Fund over the period have not affected the overall level of risk of the Fund. The Fund is suitable for medium-term investors who are seeking income from their investment. To invest in this Fund, investors must be willing to accept a low level of risk. The suitability of the Fund has not changed from what has been disclosed in the prospectus.

Results of Operations:Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund, Series B, returned 2.3%, after fees and expenses, for the one-year period ended June 30, 2021. The net returns of the other series of this Fund are similar to those of Series B, except for differences attributable to expense structures. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE Canada All Corporate Bond Index (Capped), which broadly represents the Canadian corporate bond market, returned 0.8% for the review period.

Market overview:

Canadian investment-grade bond prices declined as yields rose, reflecting greater confidence in the outlook for the Canadian economy, as well as higher inflation expectations. As vaccines are distributed and the economy reopens, consumer spending in the second half of this year and onward is expected to increase rapidly. Housing starts and resales are at historic highs, driven partly by low mortgage rates, and partly by limited supply. Canada’s economic recovery remains highly dependent on prospects for limiting COVID-19 cases, including the pace of vaccinations. Meanwhile, strong growth in foreign demand and higher commodity prices are expected to drive a robust recovery in exports and business investment.

Factors affecting performance:

The Fund outperformed its benchmark after fees and expenses. The Fund’s higher-than-benchmark exposure to corporate issues in the real estate and industrials sectors, as well as a lower-than-benchmark exposure to infrastructure and financials contributed to relative returns. The Fund’s out-of-benchmark investment in high yield, commercial mortgage-backed securities and emerging markets debt also contributed. In contrast, the Fund’s investments in non-agency federal bonds detracted from relative returns.

Portfolio changes:

The Fund’s portfolio managers, Sri Tella and Lee Ormiston, increased exposure to financial and infrastructure issuers, whose valuations appeared to have become relatively more attractive. The Fund’s allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and the real estate sector were decreased during the review period, due to maturing holdings. The Fund’s allocation to emerging markets debt also declined, due to valuations.

As at the end of the review period, the Fund had its largest exposure to the financials sector, followed by the energy sector. The Fund also continues to hold investments in CMBS and U.S. high-yield bonds that are not represented in the benchmark.

Derivatives disclosure:

During the period under review, the Fund invested in derivatives such as currency forwards, interest rate futures and swaps to manage various types of risk. More specifically, the portfolio managers used these derivatives primarily to hedge interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

Recent DevelopmentsAs the trajectory of global rates of COVID-19 infection remains uncertain, and the timeframe and speed of governmental easing of social distancing measures and travel restrictions unclear, it is not possible to predict the further impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global capital markets.

Effective October 1, 2020, Lee Ormiston replaced Catriona Martin as the Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance – continued

The portfolio managers, Sri Tella and Lee Ormiston, believe that while the economic outlook is improving, valuations remain rich, and uncertainty around post-COVID-19 normalization persists. As a result, the portfolio managers are only selectively adding to new issuance, primarily in short- to intermediate-term credit, while trimming exposure to longer-dated corporate securities. The team aims to continue taking advantage of what they believe to be unique opportunities, while keeping the portfolio liquid in order to add additional risk during periods of volatility when spreads widen.

Financial Highlights – continued

Financial Highlights FootnotesA This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual and/or unaudited interim financial statements. The net assets attributable to securityholders per security presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset

value calculated for fund pricing purposes. An explanation of these differences can be found in the notes to financial statements. For reporting periods ending after January 1, 2017 per security comparative figures (except for net asset value per security, end of period) have been conformed to the current rounding presentation of two decimal places. As a result, reporting periods ending prior to January 1, 2017 may not foot due to this rounding change.

B Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of securities outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations is based on the weighted average number of securities outstanding over the financial period. This table is not intended to be a reconciliation of beginning to ending net assets per security.

C Distributions were paid in cash or reinvested in additional securities of the Fund, or both, and excludes any applicable distributions of management fee reduction to securityholders. Distributions are presented based on management’s best estimate of the tax character.

D This information is provided as at period end of the year shown.E Management expense ratio is based on total expenses (excluding distributions, commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset

values during the period, including the Fund’s pro-rata share of estimated expenses incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable.F Effective November 1, 2014, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver

at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.G The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period, including the Fund’s pro-rata share of estimated

trading costs incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable.H The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund’s portfolio adviser manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its

portfolio once in the course of the year. The higher the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high portfolio turnover rate and the performance of the Fund. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated based on the lesser of purchases or sales of securities divided by the weighted average market value of the portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities. For periods greater than six months, but less than a full fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate is annualized. The portfolio turnover rate excludes any adjustment for in-kind transactions.

I Effective October 1, 2015, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.

J Effective February 9, 2016, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.

K For the period July 14, 2017 (commencement of sale of securities) to June 30, 2018.L Effective July 18, 2017, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any

time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.M For the period August 28, 2020 (commencement of sale of securities) to June 30, 2021.N Effective September 1, 2020, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers.

Management and Advisory FeesFidelity serves as manager and investment advisor of the Fund. The Fund pays Fidelity a monthly management and advisory fee for their services, based on the net asset value of each Series, calculated daily and payable monthly. Fidelity uses these management fees to pay for sales and trailing commissions to registered dealers on the distribution of the Fund securities, as well as for the general investment management expenses. Dealer compensation represents cash commissions paid by Fidelity to registered dealers during the period and includes upfront deferred sales charge and trailing commissions. This amount may, in certain circumstances, exceed 100% of the fees earned by Fidelity during the period. For new Funds or Series the amounts presented may not be indicative of longer term operating periods.

Past PerformanceThe performance information shown assumes that all distributions made by the Fund in the periods shown were reinvested in additional securities of the Fund. The performance information does not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or other optional charges that would have reduced returns or performance. How the Fund has performed in the past does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.

The performance data shown for the period occurring prior to the commencement of operations of a series P or E is that of the corresponding series F or F5 (for series P) or B or S5 (for series E). Series F, F5, B and S5 have higher combined management and administration fees than the applicable series P and E. Had a series P or E existed since the commencement of operations of series F, F5, B or S5, the returns of the applicable series P or E would have been higher.

Year-by-Year ReturnsThe following bar chart shows the Fund’s annual performance for each of the years shown, and illustrates how the Fund’s performance was changed from year to year. In percentage terms, the bar chart shows how much an investment made on the first day of each financial year would have grown or decreased by the last day of each financial year.

With a 5.0% cap, the Index will see a maximum benchmark weighting of 5.0% for all single issuers in the Index.

Fidelity’s mutual funds are sold by registered Investment Professionals. Each Fund has a simplified prospectus, which contains important information on the Fund, including its investment objective, purchase options, and applicable charges. Please obtain a copy of the prospectus, read it carefully, and consult your Investment Professional before investing. As with any investment, there are risks to investing in mutual funds. There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective, and its net asset value, yield, and investment return will fluctuate from time to time with market conditions. Investors may experience a gain or loss when they sell their securities in any Fidelity Fund. Fidelity Global Funds may be more volatile than other Fidelity Funds as they concentrate investments in one sector and in fewer issuers; no single Fund is intended to be a complete diversified investment program. Past performance is no assurance or indicator of future returns. There is no assurance that either Fidelity Canadian Money Market Fund, Fidelity Canadian Money Market Investment Trust, Fidelity U.S. Money Market Fund or Fidelity U.S. Money Market Investment Trust will be able to maintain its net asset value at a constant amount. The breakdown of Fund investments is presented to illustrate the way in which a Fund may invest, and may not be representative of a Fund’s current or future investments. A Fund’s investments may change at any time.
