PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS
SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
This combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus (Proxy Statement) is furnished to shareholders of Strategic Advisers® Core Fund (Core Fund), Strategic Advisers® Growth Fund (Growth Fund), and Strategic Advisers® Value Fund (Value Fund) (collectively, the Target Funds), each a series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II (the trust), in connection with a solicitation of proxies made by, and on behalf of, the trust’s Board of Trustees to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Target Funds and at any adjournments thereof (the Meeting), to be held on November 2, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) at 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, an office of the trust and Strategic Advisers LLC (Strategic Advisers), the funds’ investment adviser. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being mailed on or about September 8, 2020.
Shareholders of certain funds of the trust will also participate in the Meeting and have been mailed a separate notice and proxy statement relating to proposals to be voted upon by the trust and/or by the shareholders of those funds at the Meeting. Shareholders of Core Fund, Growth Fund and Value Fund are also asked to vote on certain other proposals that are included in a notice and proxy statement mailed separately to such shareholders.
As more fully described in the Proxy Statement:
Proposal Number |
Proposal Description |
Applicable Fund |
Page | |||
1 |
To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) relating to the proposed acquisition of Core Fund by Strategic Advisers® Large Cap Fund (Large Cap Fund or Acquiring Fund), a newly created series of the trust. | Core Fund | 22 | |||
2 |
To approve the Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of Growth Fund by Large Cap Fund. | Growth Fund | 26 | |||
3 |
To approve the Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of Value Fund by Large Cap Fund. | Value Fund | 30 |
The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are each referred to as a Reorganization and, together, the Reorganizations. Approval of each Reorganization will be determined solely by approval of the shareholders of the individual fund affected. Because each Target Fund is used in Fidelity® Wealth Services (FWS) managed account program to provide exposure to large cap equity securities in individual client accounts, substantially all managed account clients who own shares of one of the Target Funds own shares of all three Target Funds. As a result, each Reorganization is conditional on the approval of shareholders of all three Target Funds. In the event shareholders of one Target Fund fail to approve the Agreement, Fidelity expects to continue to manage all three Target Funds separately to continue to provide large cap equities exposure to accounts in the managed account program.
If the Agreement is approved by each Target Fund’s shareholders and the Reorganizations occur, you will become a shareholder of Large Cap Fund. Your fund will transfer all of its assets to Large Cap Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Large Cap Fund and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of your fund’s liabilities in complete liquidation of each Target Fund. The total value of your fund holdings will not change as a result of the Reorganizations. The Reorganizations are currently scheduled to take place as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) on November 13, 2020, or such other time and date as the parties to the Agreement may agree (the Closing Date).
Large Cap Fund (together with Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Value Fund, the funds) is a diversified series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II, an open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Large Cap Fund seeks capital appreciation. Large Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities and shares of funds with large market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000® Index or the S&P 500® Index).
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC, NOR HAS THE SEC PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The Proxy Statement sets forth concisely the information about each Reorganization and Large Cap Fund that shareholders should know before voting on the proposed Reorganizations. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference.

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, in the Agreement, and/or in the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Value Fund, as applicable, or the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of Large Cap Fund, each of which are incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement and the Prospectus of Large Cap Fund carefully for more complete information.
What proposal am I being asked to vote on?
Shareholders of Core Fund are being asked to vote on Proposal 1. As more fully described in Proposal 1 below, shareholders of Core Fund are being asked to approve the Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of Core Fund by Large Cap Fund.
Shareholders of Growth Fund are being asked to vote on Proposal 2. As more fully described in Proposal 2 below, shareholders of Growth Fund are being asked to approve the Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of Growth Fund by Large Cap Fund.
Shareholders of Value Fund are being asked to vote on Proposal 3. As more fully described in Proposal 3 below, shareholders of Value Fund are being asked to approve the Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of Value Fund by Large Cap Fund.
Approval of each Reorganization will be determined solely by approval of the shareholders of the individual fund affected. Because each Target Fund is used in FWS managed account program to provide exposure to large cap equity securities in individual client accounts, substantially all managed account clients who own shares of one of the Target Funds own shares of all three Target Funds. As a result, each Reorganization is conditional on the approval of shareholders of all three Target Funds. In the event shareholders of one Target Fund fail to approve the Agreement, Fidelity expects to continue to manage all three Target Funds separately to continue to provide large cap equities exposure to accounts in the managed account program.
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 8, 2020 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.
If the Agreement is approved by each Target Fund’s shareholders and the Reorganizations occur, you will become a shareholder of Large Cap Fund instead. Your fund will transfer all of its assets to Large Cap Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Large Cap Fund and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of your fund’s liabilities in complete liquidation of each Target Fund. Each shareholder of Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Value Fund will receive shares of the Large Cap Fund. Each Reorganization is currently scheduled to take place as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date.
For more information, shareholders of Core Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 1 – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.” For more information, shareholders of Growth Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 2 – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.” For more information, shareholders of Value Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 3 – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”
Has the Board of Trustees approved the proposal?
Yes. Each fund’s Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed the proposal and approved the Agreement and the Reorganization. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of your fund’s Reorganization by approving the Agreement.
What are the reasons for the proposals?
The Board of Trustees considered the following factors, among others, in determining to recommend that you vote in favor of your fund’s Reorganization by approving the Agreement:
• | Each Reorganization would provide opportunities for improved investment outcomes by reducing redundant risk-mitigation strategies employed in managing each of the Target Funds separately to their individual benchmarks. |
• | Each Reorganization would permit each Target Fund’s shareholders to receive exposure to large cap equity securities in a single fund with the same investment objective, reducing the need to trade across funds and potentially realize gains for customers in taxable accounts. |
• | Although substantially all shareholders hold all three Target Funds, the mergers will provide clients who hold only one fund with more manager diversification and broadened portfolio management expertise in a single fund. |
• | The contractual maximum management fee proposed for the Acquiring Fund is lower than that of each of the Target Funds. |
• | Based on annualized expense data for the period from June 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020, and assuming all proposals are approved and the merger had been in effect for a full year, for each Target Fund individually, the change in total expenses is expected to range from a decrease of 18 basis points (bp) to an increase of 2 bp. As substantially all managed account clients who own shares of one Target Fund hold shares of all three Target Funds, substantially all shareholders are expected to benefit from a projected decrease of 6 bp in total expenses when comparing Acquiring Fund total annual operating expenses to the weighted average expense ratio of the three Target Funds. The pro forma expenses and fee information presented below is based on data for the 12 months ended May 31, 2020, the funds’ fiscal year end. |

For more information, shareholders of Core Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 1 – Reasons for the Reorganization.” For more information, shareholders of Growth Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 2 – Reasons for the Reorganization.” For more information, shareholders of Value Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 3 – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
How will you determine the number of shares of Large Cap Fund that I will receive?
Although the number of shares you own will most likely change, the total value of your holdings will not change as a result of your fund’s Reorganization.
As provided in the Agreement each Target Fund will distribute shares of Large Cap Fund to its shareholders so that each shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund equal in value to the net asset value of shares of the respective Target Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date.
For more information, shareholders of Core Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 1 – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.” For more information, shareholders of Growth Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 2 – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.” For more information, shareholders of Value Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 3 – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”
Is a Reorganization considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?
No. Each fund will receive an opinion of counsel that its Reorganization will not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes either to Core Fund, Growth Fund, Value Fund, Large Cap Fund or to the shareholders of any fund, except that Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Value Fund may recognize gain or loss with respect to assets (if any) that are subject to “mark-to-market” tax accounting due to the Target Funds’ tax years closing as of the date of the Reorganization.
For more information, shareholders of Core Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 1 – Federal Income Tax Considerations.” For more information, shareholders of Growth Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 2 – Federal Income Tax Considerations.” For more information, shareholders of Value Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 3 – Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
How do the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, policies, and limitations compare?
The funds have the same investment objective. Each fund seeks capital appreciation. The Target Funds’ investment objective is currently fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. In a separate proxy statement, shareholders of the Target Funds are being asked to approve the conversion of the fundamental investment objective of each Target Fund to be non-fundamental. If shareholders of the Target Funds vote for the proposal, this change will allow the Board of Trustees to change the investment objective of the Target Funds in the future, without the delay and expense of a shareholder vote. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is not fundamental, subject to change by the Board of Trustees.
Although the funds have substantially similar principal investment strategies, there are some differences of which you should be aware. The following compares the principal investment strategies of Core Fund, Growth Fund, Value Fund, and Large Cap Fund:

The fund will normally invest in a combination of “growth” and “value” stocks. | |
The fund implements its investment strategies by investing directly in securities through one or more sub-advisers or indirectly in securities through one or more underlying funds, which in turn invest directly in securities. | Same principal strategy. | |
The Adviser may allocate the fund’s assets among any number of underlying funds or sub-advisers at any time. The Adviser may adjust allocations among underlying funds or sub-advisers from time to time, including making no allocation at all to one or more sub-advisers. | Same principal strategy. | |
The Adviser pursues a disciplined, benchmark-driven approach to portfolio construction, and monitors and adjusts allocations to underlying funds and sub-advisers as necessary to favor those underlying funds and sub-advisers that the Adviser believes will provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund’s investment objective. | Same principal strategy. | |
When determining how to allocate the fund’s assets among sub-advisers and underlying funds, the Adviser uses 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. | Same principal strategy. | |
The fund may invest in affiliated equity funds (i.e., Fidelity® funds, including mutual funds and ETFs), non-affiliated equity funds that participate in Fidelity’s FundsNetwork® and in non-affiliated ETFs. Underlying funds include both funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) (an affiliated company that, together with the Adviser, is part of Fidelity Investments) or an affiliate and funds managed by investment advisers other than Fidelity. Fidelity may receive service fees that typically are at an annual rate of up to 0.40% of a non-affiliated underlying fund’s average daily net assets attributable to purchases through Fidelity’s FundsNetwork®, though such fees may be higher or lower, or may be charged as transaction and/or account fees. In addition, the fund may invest in ETFs in transactions not occurring through Fidelity’s FundsNetwork®. | Same principal strategy. | |
No corresponding strategy. | The Adviser generally classifies funds by reference to a fund’s name, policies, or classification by a third-party ranking or ratings organization at the time of investment.

Core Fund |
Large Cap Fund | |
Common types of investment approaches that a sub-adviser may use in selecting investments for a fund include, but are not limited to, quantitative analysis, fundamental analysis, or a combination of both approaches. Quantitative analysis refers to programmatic models that analyze such factors as growth potential, valuation, liquidity, and investment risk based on data inputs. Fundamental analysis involves a bottom-up assessment of a company’s potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions. | Same principal strategy. | |
It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund’s assets will be invested by a particular sub-adviser at any given time and one or more sub-advisers may not be managing any assets for the fund at any given time. | Same principal strategy. |
Growth Fund |
Large Cap Fund | |
The fund normally invests primarily in common stocks. | No corresponding strategy. | |
The fund invests in companies that are believed to have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue. | No corresponding strategy. | |
Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average price/earnings (P/E) or price/book (P/B) ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called “growth” stocks. | No corresponding strategy. | |

Value Fund |
Large Cap Fund | |
The fund normally invests primarily in common stocks. | No corresponding strategy. | |
The fund invests in companies that are believed to be undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the company’s assets, sales, earnings, growth potential, or cash flow, or in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry. Companies with these characteristics tend to have lower than average P/B, price/sales (P/S), or P/E ratios.

Strategic Advisers and each of the sub-advisers (with the exception of Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. and Massachusetts Financial Services Company) are expected to continue serving as manager or sub-adviser of the combined fund after the Reorganizations.
John A. Stone is lead portfolio manager of each fund. Mr. Stone joined Fidelity Investments in 1993 as a customer service team leader and also worked as a financial analyst and investment strategist. In 2006, Mr. Stone left Fidelity Investments and joined Mercer Global Investments as a portfolio manager and Principal. Since returning to Fidelity Investments in 2008, Mr. Stone has worked as a portfolio manager. Mr. Stone is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after each Reorganization.
Gopalakrishnan Anantanatarajan is co-manager of Value Fund and Large Cap Fund. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 2006, Mr. Anantanatarajan has worked as a senior research analyst, research analyst, research associate, a senior research associate, and portfolio manager. Mr. Anantanatarajan is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after each Reorganization.
Niall Devitt is co-manager of Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Large Cap Fund. Mr. Devitt joined Fidelity Investments in 2001 and has been a part of Strategic Advisers since 2006 where he has worked as a research associate, analyst, and portfolio manager. Mr. Devitt is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after each Reorganization.
For information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by a fund’s portfolio manager(s), please refer to the “Management Contract” section of each fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Each fund has entered into a management contract with Strategic Advisers, pursuant to which Strategic Advisers furnishes investment advisory and other services.
Under Core Fund’s all-inclusive management contract, Strategic Advisers is responsible for paying certain of the fund’s operating expenses such as, for example, typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of the custodian, auditor, and Interested Trustees, the fund’s proportionate share of insurance premiums and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. Core Fund is responsible for paying fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees, interest on borrowings, taxes, shareholder charges (if any) associated with investing in the underlying funds, prime brokerage fees and expenses, and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
In contrast, under Growth Fund’s, Value Fund’s, and Large Cap Fund’s management contract, Strategic Advisers is not required to pay such operating expenses.
Each fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month. Each fund’s management fee is calculated by adding the annual rate of 0.25% of the fund’s average daily net assets throughout the month plus the total fees payable monthly to the fund’s sub-advisers, if any, based upon each sub-adviser’s respective allocated portion of the fund’s assets. Because the fund’s management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund’s management fee may be higher or lower in the future. However, each fund’s maximum aggregate annual management fee, as a percentage of its average daily net assets, will not exceed the following rates:
Name of Fund |
Maximum |
|||
Core Fund | 1.00 | % | ||
Growth Fund | 0.95 | % | ||
Value Fund | 0.70 | % | ||
Large Cap Fund | 0.65 | % |
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Value Fund is available in each fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2019 and in Core Fund’s and Growth Fund’s annual report for the fiscal period ended May 31, 2020.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract, sub-advisory agreements, and sub-subadvisory agreements for Large Cap Fund will be included in the fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ending November 30, 2020, when available.
If the Reorganizations are approved, the combined fund will retain Large Cap Fund’s management fee structure, requiring payment of a management fee and all fund operating expenses separately.

For more information about the funds’ fees and operating expenses, please refer to the funds’ Prospectuses, which are incorporated herein by reference, and to “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” below.
If the proposed Reorganizations are not approved, the funds will maintain current expense structures.
Distribution of Fund Shares
The principal business address of FDC, each fund’s principal underwriter and distribution agent, is 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that Strategic Advisers may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. A fund’s Distribution and Service Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those that are to be made to Strategic Advisers under the fund’s management contract.
If the Reorganizations are approved, the Distribution and Service Plan for the combined fund will remain unchanged.
For more information about fund distribution, please refer to the “Fund Distribution” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Distribution Services” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The following tables allow you to compare the fees and expenses of each fund and to analyze the pro forma estimated fees and expenses of the combined fund.
Annual Fund Operating Expenses

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS
Many factors affect each fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. Each fund’s share price changes daily based on the performance of the underlying funds and securities in which it invests and on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of underlying funds and securities in which each fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and each fund’s level of investment in the securities of that underlying fund or issuer. If the Adviser’s or a sub-adviser’s allocation strategies do not work as intended, a fund may not achieve its objective. A portfolio manager’s evaluations and assumptions in selecting underlying funds or individual securities may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. When your shares are sold they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.

The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds. Because the funds have identical investment objectives and substantially similar strategies as described above, the funds are subject to substantially similar investment risks. Because the funds have some different principal investment strategies as described above, the funds are also subject to some different investment risks, of which you should be aware.
What risks are associated with an investment in all of the funds?
Each fund is subject to the following principal 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
What additional risks are associated with an investment in Growth Fund?
Growth Fund is subject to the following principal risks:
“Growth” Investing. “Growth” stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
What additional risks are associated with an investment in Value Fund?
Value Fund is subject to the following principal risks:
“Value” Investing. “Value” stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
What additional risks are associated with an investment in Large Cap Fund?
Large Cap Fund is subject to the following principal risks, which are not principal risks generally associated with an investment in Core Fund, Growth Fund, and Value Fund, as applicable:
“Growth” Investing. “Growth” stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.
“Value” Investing. “Value” stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
For more information about the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds, please refer to the “Investment Details” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Investment Policies and Limitations“ section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

How do the funds compare in terms of their performance?
The following information provides some indication of the risks associated with an investment in the funds. The information illustrates the changes in Core Fund’s, Growth Fund’s, and Value Fund’s performance of each fund’s shares from year to year and compares Core Fund’s, Growth Fund’s, and Value Fund’s performance of each fund’s shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the “Additional Index Information” section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance. Performance information for Large Cap Fund is not included because Large Cap Fund is a newly created fund that does not have any historical performance. If the proposed Reorganizations are approved, Large Cap Fund will assume the performance record of Core Fund.

Average Annual Returns
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. 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.

PROPOSAL 1
TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN STRATEGIC ADVISERS® CORE FUND AND STRATEGIC ADVISERS® LARGE CAP FUND.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below in this Proposal 1; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Proxy Statement.
The Agreement contemplates (a) Large Cap Fund acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Core Fund in exchange solely for shares of Large Cap Fund and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of Core Fund’s liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Large Cap Fund to the shareholders of Core Fund as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Core Fund’s assets to be acquired by Large Cap Fund and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Large Cap Fund will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Large Cap Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Large Cap Fund will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
As of the Closing Date, Large Cap Fund will deliver to Core Fund, and Core Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Large Cap Fund so that each Core Fund shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Core Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Core Fund will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Core Fund shareholder’s account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Large Cap Fund will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder’s interest.
Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Large Cap Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Core Fund as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Core Fund is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Core Fund is liquidated.
Core Fund, pursuant to its all-inclusive management contract, Strategic Advisers will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and the Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation.
All of the current investments of Core Fund are permissible investments for Large Cap Fund. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganizations, Strategic Advisers may sell certain securities held by the funds and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Core Fund and Large Cap Fund due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Core Fund and Large Cap Fund, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Core Fund and Large Cap Fund due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Large Cap Fund that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Large Cap Fund. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments.
The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on Core Fund shareholders’ interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.
Reasons for the Reorganization
In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, each fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) considered a number of factors, including the following:
(1) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to shareholders of the funds;
(2) the compatibility of the investment objectives, strategies, and policies of the funds;
(3) the historical performance of the funds;
(4) the fees and expenses and the relative expense ratios of the funds;
(5) the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization;
(6) the tax consequences of the Reorganization;
21
(7) the relative size of the funds;
(8) the elimination of duplicative funds; and
(9) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to Strategic Advisers and its affiliates.
Strategic Advisers proposed the Reorganization to each fund’s Board at a meeting of the Board held on June 3, 2020. In proposing the Reorganization, Strategic Advisers advised the Board that it permits Core Fund shareholders to receive exposure to large cap equity securities in a single fund with the same investment objective, providing opportunities for improved investment outcomes from reducing redundant risk mitigation strategies and reducing the need to trade across funds and potentially realize gains for customers in taxable accounts. The Board also considered any potential benefits to Fidelity as a result of the merger, such as reducing the number of funds managed and any cost benefits as a result of discontinuing Core Fund’s all-inclusive management fee. Large Cap Fund is expected to have a total expense ratio that is 5 bp lower than Core Fund. In addition, because substantially all shareholders who own one Target Fund also own shares of all three Target Funds, the Board also considered that substantially all shareholders are expected to benefit from a projected decrease of 6 bp in total expenses when comparing the projected total annual operating expenses of Large Cap Fund to the weighted average expense ratio of all three Target Funds. Each merger will qualify as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes.
Each fund’s Board carefully reviewed the proposal and determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either fund.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
Large Cap Fund is a series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II (the trust). The Trustees of the trust are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Large Cap Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Large Cap Fund is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of Large Cap Fund is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares of Large Cap Fund have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the “Description of the Trust – Shareholder Liability” section of the fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The trust does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust’s outstanding shares.
For more information about voting rights and dividend rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust – Voting Rights” and the “Distributions and Taxes” sections, respectively, of Large Cap Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference. For more information about redemption rights, please refer to the “Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares” section, of Large Cap Fund’s Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of Core Fund’s assets for Large Cap Fund’s shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Core Fund by Large Cap Fund is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). With respect to the Reorganization, the participating funds will receive an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to Core Fund and Large Cap Fund, substantially to the effect that:
(i) The acquisition by Large Cap Fund of substantially all of the assets of Core Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of all liabilities of Core Fund followed by the distribution of Large Cap Fund shares to the Core Fund shareholders in exchange for their Core Fund shares in complete liquidation and termination of Core Fund will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;
(ii) Core Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Large Cap Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of all liabilities of Core Fund, except that Core Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;
(iii) Core Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Large Cap Fund shares received by Core Fund in the Reorganization;
22
(iv) Large Cap Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Core Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Core Fund;
(v) The adjusted basis to Large Cap Fund of the assets of Core Fund received by Large Cap Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Core Fund immediately before the exchange;
(vi) Large Cap Fund’s holding periods with respect to the assets of Core Fund that Large Cap Fund acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were held by Core Fund (except where investment activities of Large Cap Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vii) The Core Fund shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Large Cap Fund shares in exchange solely for Core Fund shares;
(viii) The aggregate basis of the Large Cap Fund shares received by a Core Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Core Fund shares surrendered by the Core Fund shareholder in exchange therefor; and
(ix) A Core Fund shareholder’s holding period for the Large Cap Fund shares received by the shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Core Fund shareholder held Core Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Core Fund shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.
The table below shows each Target Fund’s approximate net assets, capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses as of May 31, 2020. Each Target Fund’s unrealized gains/losses will generally carryover to Large Cap Fund in the Reorganization and, based on the data shown below, Large Cap Fund could end up with larger net unrealized gains (as a percentage of assets) than Core Fund currently has. As a result, Core Fund shareholders could end up receiving larger capital gain distributions following the merger than they would if Core Fund continued as a standalone fund. This tax consideration should not have a significant impact on Core Fund shareholders in tax-advantaged accounts or on Core Fund shareholders who already hold all three funds (and substantially all managed account clients who own shares of one of the Target Funds own shares of all three Target Funds).

Shareholders of Core Fund should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.
Forms of Organization
Core Fund and Large Cap Fund are diversified series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on March 8, 2006. The trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of the same Delaware business trust, governed by the same Trust Instrument, the rights of the security holders of Core Fund under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganization.
For more information regarding shareholder rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Operations of Large Cap Fund Following the Reorganization
Strategic Advisers does not expect Large Cap Fund to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, Strategic Advisers does not anticipate significant changes to Large Cap Fund’s management or to entities that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other entities will continue to serve Large Cap Fund in their current capacities. John A. Stone (lead portfolio manager) and Niall Devitt (co-manager), who are currently the portfolio managers of Large Cap Fund and Core Fund, are expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

Capitalization
The following table shows the capitalization of Core Fund and Large Cap Fund as of July 31, 2020, and on a pro forma combined basis (unaudited) as of that date giving effect to all of the Reorganizations. As of July 31, 2020, the net assets of Core Fund was $30,138,684,907, or 62.8% of Large Cap Fund.

The combined fund pro forma capitalization shown above assumes that all of the Reorganizations occur.
The table above assumes that the Reorganizations described in Proposals 1 through 3 occurred on July 31, 2020. The table is for information purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many Large Cap Fund shares will be received by shareholders of Core Fund on the date that the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Large Cap Fund that actually will be received on or after that date.
Conclusion
The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Board of Trustees of the trust at a meeting held on June 3, 2020. The Board of Trustees determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of Core Fund and Large Cap Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of Core Fund and Large Cap Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization does not occur, Core Fund will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II may consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of the fund.
The Board of Trustees of Core Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement.

THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
PROPOSAL 2
TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN STRATEGIC ADVISERS® GROWTH FUND AND STRATEGIC ADVISERS® LARGE CAP FUND.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below in this Proposal 2; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Proxy Statement.
The Agreement contemplates (a) Large Cap Fund acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Growth Fund in exchange solely for shares of Large Cap Fund and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of Growth Fund’s liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Large Cap Fund to the shareholders of Growth Fund as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Growth Fund’s assets to be acquired by Large Cap Fund and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Large Cap Fund will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Large Cap Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Large Cap Fund will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
As of the Closing Date, Large Cap Fund will deliver to Growth Fund, and Growth Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Large Cap Fund so that each Growth Fund shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Growth Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Growth Fund will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Growth Fund shareholder’s account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Large Cap Fund will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder’s interest.
Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Large Cap Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Growth Fund as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Growth Fund is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Growth Fund is liquidated.
Growth Fund will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and the Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation.
All of the current investments of Growth Fund are permissible investments for Large Cap Fund. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganizations, Strategic Advisers may sell certain securities held by the funds and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Large Cap Fund that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Large Cap Fund. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments.
The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on Growth Fund shareholders’ interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.

(ii) Growth Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Large Cap Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of all liabilities of Growth Fund, except that Growth Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;
(iii) Growth Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Large Cap Fund shares received by Growth Fund in the Reorganization;
(iv) Large Cap Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Growth Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Growth Fund;
26
(v) The adjusted basis to Large Cap Fund of the assets of Growth Fund received by Large Cap Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Growth Fund immediately before the exchange;
(vi) Large Cap Fund’s holding periods with respect to the assets of Growth Fund that Large Cap Fund acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were held by Growth Fund (except where investment activities of Large Cap Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vii) The Growth Fund shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Large Cap Fund shares in exchange solely for Growth Fund shares;
(viii) The aggregate basis of the Large Cap Fund shares received by a Growth Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Growth Fund shares surrendered by the Growth Fund shareholder in exchange therefor; and
(ix) A Growth Fund shareholder’s holding period for the Large Cap Fund shares received by the shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Growth Fund shareholder held Growth Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Growth Fund shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.
The table below shows each Target Fund’s approximate net assets, capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses as of May 31, 2020. Each Target Fund’s unrealized gains/losses will generally carryover to Large Cap Fund in the Reorganization and, based on the data shown below, Large Cap Fund could end up with smaller net unrealized gains (as a percentage of assets) than Growth Fund currently has. As a result, Growth Fund shareholders could end up receiving smaller capital gain distributions following the merger than they would if Growth Fund continued as a standalone fund. This tax consideration should not have a significant impact on Growth Fund shareholders in tax-advantaged accounts or on Growth Fund shareholders who already hold all three funds (and substantially all managed account clients who own shares of one of the Target Funds own shares of all three Target Funds).

Shareholders of Growth Fund should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.
Forms of Organization
Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund are diversified series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on March 8, 2006. The trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of the same Delaware business trust, governed by the same Trust Instrument, the rights of the security holders of Growth Fund under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganization.
For more information regarding shareholder rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Operations of Large Cap Fund Following the Reorganization
Strategic Advisers does not expect Large Cap Fund to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, Strategic Advisers does not anticipate significant changes to Large Cap Fund’s management or to entities that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other entities will continue to serve Large Cap Fund in their current capacities. John A. Stone (lead portfolio manager) and Niall Devitt (co-manager), who are currently the portfolio managers of Large Cap Fund and Growth Fund, are expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

No assurance can be given as to how many Large Cap Fund shares will be received by shareholders of Growth Fund on the date that the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Large Cap Fund that actually will be received on or after that date.
Conclusion
The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Board of Trustees of the trust at a meeting held on June 3, 2020. The Board of Trustees determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization does not occur, Growth Fund will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II may consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of the fund.
The Board of Trustees of Growth Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement.

THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
PROPOSAL 3
TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN STRATEGIC ADVISERS® VALUE FUND AND STRATEGIC ADVISERS® LARGE CAP FUND.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below in this Proposal 3; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Proxy Statement.
The Agreement contemplates (a) Large Cap Fund acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Value Fund in exchange solely for shares of Large Cap Fund and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of Value Fund’s liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Large Cap Fund to the shareholders of Value Fund as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Value Fund’s assets to be acquired by Large Cap Fund and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Large Cap Fund will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Large Cap Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Large Cap Fund will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
As of the Closing Date, Large Cap Fund will deliver to Value Fund, and Value Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Large Cap Fund so that each Value Fund shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Value Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Value Fund will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Value Fund shareholder’s account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Large Cap Fund due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Large Cap Fund will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder’s interest.
Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Large Cap Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Value Fund as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Value Fund is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Value Fund is liquidated.
Value Fund will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and the Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation.
All of the current investments of Value Fund are permissible investments for Large Cap Fund. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganizations, Strategic Advisers may sell certain securities held by the funds and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Value Fund and Large Cap Fund due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Value Fund and Large Cap Fund, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Value Fund and Large Cap Fund due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Large Cap Fund that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Large Cap Fund. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments.
The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on Value Fund shareholders’ interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.
Reasons for the Reorganization
In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, each fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) considered a number of factors, including the following:
(1) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to shareholders of the funds;
(2) the compatibility of the investment objectives, strategies, and policies of the funds;
(3) the historical performance of the funds;
(4) the fees and expenses and the relative expense ratios of the funds;
(5) the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization;
(6) the tax consequences of the Reorganization;
29
(7) the relative size of the funds;
(8) the elimination of duplicative funds; and
(9) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to Strategic Advisers and its affiliates.
Strategic Advisers proposed the Reorganization to each fund’s Board at a meeting of the Board held on June 3, 2020. In proposing the Reorganization, Strategic Advisers advised the Board that it permits Value Fund shareholders to receive exposure to large cap equity securities in a single fund with the same investment objective, providing opportunities for improved investment outcomes from reducing redundant risk mitigation strategies and reducing the need to trade across funds and potentially realize gains for customers in taxable accounts. The Board also considered any potential benefits to Fidelity as a result of the merger, such as reducing the number of funds managed. Large Cap Fund is expected to have a total expense ratio that is 2 bp higher than Value Fund. In addition, because substantially all shareholders who own one Target Fund also own shares of all three Target Funds, the Board also considered that substantially all shareholders are expected to benefit from a projected decrease of 6 bp in total expenses when comparing the projected total annual operating expenses of Large Cap Fund to the weighted average expense ratio of all three Target Funds. Each merger will qualify as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes.
Each fund’s Board carefully reviewed the proposal and determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either fund.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
Large Cap Fund is a series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II (the trust). The Trustees of the trust are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Large Cap Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Large Cap Fund is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of Large Cap Fund is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares of Large Cap Fund have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the “Description of the Trust – Shareholder Liability” section of the fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The trust does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust’s outstanding shares.
For more information about voting rights and dividend rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust – Voting Rights” and the “Distributions and Taxes” sections, respectively, of Large Cap Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference. For more information about redemption rights, please refer to the “Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares” section, of Large Cap Fund’s Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of Value Fund’s assets for Large Cap Fund’s shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Value Fund by Large Cap Fund is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). With respect to the Reorganization, the participating funds will receive an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to Value Fund and Large Cap Fund, substantially to the effect that:
(i) The acquisition by Large Cap Fund of substantially all of the assets of Value Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of all liabilities of Value Fund followed by the distribution of Large Cap Fund shares to the Value Fund shareholders in exchange for their Value Fund shares in complete liquidation and termination of Value Fund will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;
(ii) Value Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Large Cap Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption by Large Cap Fund of all liabilities of Value Fund, except that Value Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;
(iii) Value Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Large Cap Fund shares received by Value Fund in the Reorganization;
(iv) Large Cap Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Value Fund in exchange solely for Large Cap Fund shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Value Fund;
30
(v) The adjusted basis to Large Cap Fund of the assets of Value Fund received by Large Cap Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Value Fund immediately before the exchange;
(vi) Large Cap Fund’s holding periods with respect to the assets of Value Fund that Large Cap Fund acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were held by Value Fund (except where investment activities of Large Cap Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vii) The Value Fund shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Large Cap Fund shares in exchange solely for Value Fund shares;
(viii) The aggregate basis of the Large Cap Fund shares received by a Value Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Value Fund shares surrendered by the Value Fund shareholder in exchange therefor; and
(ix) A Value Fund shareholder’s holding period for the Large Cap Fund shares received by the shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Value Fund shareholder held Value Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Value Fund shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.
The table below shows each Target Fund’s approximate net assets, capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses as of May 31, 2020. Each Target Fund’s unrealized gains/losses will generally carryover to Large Cap Fund in the Reorganization and, based on the data shown below, Large Cap Fund could end up with larger net unrealized gains (as a percentage of assets) than Value Fund currently has. As a result, Value Fund shareholders could end up receiving larger capital gain distributions following the merger than they would if Value Fund continued as a standalone fund. This tax consideration should not have a significant impact on Value Fund shareholders in tax-advantaged accounts or on Value Fund shareholders who already hold all three funds (and substantially all managed account clients who own shares of one of the Target Funds own shares of all three Target Funds).

Record Date; Quorum; and Method of Tabulation
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 8, 2020 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting of the fund in which they hold shares. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held as of that date, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote.
If the enclosed proxy card is executed and returned, or an internet or telephonic vote is delivered, that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the trust, by the execution of a later-dated proxy card, by the trust’s receipt of a subsequent valid telephonic or internet vote, or by attending a fund’s Meeting and voting in person.
All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and that are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed proxy card, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy card. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted toward establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes. (Broker non-votes are shares for which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.)
With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SAR-SEP, Roth and SIMPLE IRAs), the IRA Custodian will vote those shares for which it has received instructions from shareholders only in accordance with such instructions. If Fidelity IRA shareholders do not vote their shares, the IRA Custodian will vote their shares for them, in the same proportion as other Fidelity IRA shareholders have voted.
34
One-third of each fund’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the applicable Meeting. If a quorum is not present, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote FOR the proposal, unless directed to vote AGAINST the proposal, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment.
Certain shares are registered to Strategic Advisers or a Strategic Advisers affiliate. To the extent that Strategic Advisers or a Strategic Advisers affiliate has discretion to vote, these shares will be voted at the Meeting FOR each proposal. Otherwise, these shares will be voted in accordance with the plan or agreement governing the shares. Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.
Certain shareholders of FWS have elected Strategic Advisers as agent to receive proxy voting materials for non-Fidelity and Fidelity® Funds held in their FWS accounts. For Fidelity® Funds, such shareholders have instructed Strategic Advisers to vote proxies of a Fidelity® Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such Fidelity® Fund.
Certain funds and accounts that are managed by Strategic Advisers or its affiliates (including funds of funds) invest in other funds and may at times have substantial investments in one or more funds. Although these funds generally intend to vote their shares of underlying funds using echo voting procedures (that is, in the same proportion as the holders of all other shares of the particular underlying fund), they reserve the right, on a case-by-case basis, to vote in another manner, which may include voting all shares as recommended by the Board.
We intend to hold the Meeting in person as set forth in this Proxy Statement. However, we are actively monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19); we are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns our shareholders may have and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. As a result, the date, time, location or means of conducting the Meeting may change. In the event of such a change, the funds will post an announcement online at www.proxyvote.com/proxy and file the announcement on the SEC EDGAR system, among other steps, but may not deliver additional soliciting materials to shareholders or otherwise amend the funds’ proxy materials. Although no decision has been made, the funds may consider imposing additional procedures or limitations on Meeting attendees or conducting the Meeting as a “virtual” shareholder meeting through the internet or other electronic means in lieu of an in-person meeting, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. Please monitor the website at www.proxyvote.com/proxy for updated information. If you are planning to attend the Meeting, please check the website one week prior to the Meeting date. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Meeting.

(a) Strategic Advisers LLC (Strategic Advisers) has contractually agreed that the fund’s maximum aggregate annual management fee will not exceed 0.65% 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, 2023, 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.
(b) Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
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 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:
1 year |
$ | 26 | ||
3 years |
$ | 80 |
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.
Principal Investment Strategies
• | Normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities and shares of funds with large market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000® Index or the S&P 500® Index). |
3
• | Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. |
• | Normally investing in a combination of “growth” and “value” stocks. |
• | 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 equity funds (i.e., Fidelity® funds, including mutual funds and ETFs), non-affiliated equity funds that participate in Fidelity’s FundsNetwork®, non-affiliated ETFs (collectively, underlying funds), and sub-advisers. |
• | 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. |
• | 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 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. |
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
4
• | “Growth” Investing. “Growth” stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks. |
• | “Value” Investing. “Value” stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. |
• | 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.

The price to buy one share is its net asset value per share (NAV). Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
The price to sell one share is its NAV. Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
5
The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

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, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser 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.
Fund Basics
Investment Objective
Strategic Advisers® Large Cap Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Principal Investment Strategies
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities and shares of funds with large market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of large market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, large market capitalization companies are generally defined as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 1000® Index or the S&P 500® Index. A company’s market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund’s investment. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index.
The fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.
The fund is not constrained by any particular investment style. The fund will normally invest in a combination of “growth” and “value” stocks.
The fund implements its investment strategies by investing directly in securities through one or more sub-advisers or indirectly in securities through one or more underlying funds, which in turn invest directly in securities.
The Adviser may allocate the fund’s assets among any number of underlying funds or sub-advisers at any time. The Adviser may adjust allocations among underlying funds or sub-advisers from time to time, including making no allocation at all to one or more sub-advisers.
6
The Adviser pursues a disciplined, benchmark-driven approach to portfolio construction, and monitors and adjusts allocations to underlying funds and sub-advisers as necessary to favor those underlying funds and sub-advisers that the Adviser believes will provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund’s investment objective.
When determining how to allocate the fund’s assets among sub-advisers and underlying funds, the Adviser uses 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.
The fund may invest in affiliated equity funds (i.e., Fidelity® funds, including mutual funds and ETFs), non-affiliated equity funds that participate in Fidelity’s FundsNetwork® and in non-affiliated ETFs. Underlying funds include both funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) (an affiliated company that, together with the Adviser, is part of Fidelity Investments) or an affiliate and funds managed by investment advisers other than Fidelity. Fidelity may receive service fees that typically are at an annual rate of up to 0.40% of a non-affiliated underlying fund’s average daily net assets attributable to purchases through Fidelity’s FundsNetwork®, though such fees may be higher or lower, or may be charged as transaction and/or account fees. In addition, the fund may invest in ETFs in transactions not occurring through Fidelity’s FundsNetwork®.
The Adviser generally classifies funds by reference to a fund’s name, policies, or classification by a third-party ranking or ratings organization at the time of investment. Investments in funds whose names, policies or classifications change after purchase continue to be considered subject to the classification at time of investment for purposes of the 80% policy.
The Adviser may actively adjust the allocation of the fund’s assets at any time. For current information on fund holdings, please call 1-800-544-3455 or visit Fidelity’s web site at www.fidelity.com. For information on the underlying funds, see the underlying funds’ prospectuses. A copy of any underlying Fidelity® fund’s prospectus is available at www.fidelity.com or institutional.fidelity.com. For a copy of any other underlying fund’s prospectus, visit the web site of the company that manages or sponsors that underlying fund.
Common types of investment approaches that a sub-adviser may use in selecting investments for a fund include, but are not limited to, quantitative analysis, fundamental analysis, or a combination of both approaches. Quantitative analysis refers to programmatic models that analyze such factors as growth potential, valuation, liquidity, and investment risk based on data inputs. Fundamental analysis involves a bottom-up assessment of a company’s potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.
It is not possible to predict the extent to which the fund’s assets will be invested by a particular sub-adviser at any given time and one or more sub-advisers may not be managing any assets for the fund at any given time.
The fund’s initial shareholder approved a proposal permitting the Adviser 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 conditions of an exemptive order that has been granted by the SEC (Exemptive Order). One of the conditions of the Exemptive Order requires the Board of Trustees to approve any such agreement. Subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees, the Adviser 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 within ninety days of appointment.

Description of Principal Security Types
In addition to investing in underlying funds, the fund may invest directly in the following principal security types:
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect the fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. The fund’s share price changes daily based on the performance of the underlying funds and securities in which it invests and on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of underlying funds and securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that underlying fund or issuer.
If the Adviser’s or a sub-adviser’s allocation strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective. A portfolio manager’s evaluations and assumptions in selecting underlying funds or individual securities may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions.
When your shares are sold they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.
The following factors can significantly affect the fund’s performance:
Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk. Because each sub-adviser manages its allocated portion, if any, independently from another sub-adviser, it is possible that the sub-advisers’ security selection processes may not complement one another. As a result, the fund’s aggregate exposure to a particular industry or group of industries, or to a single issuer, could unintentionally be larger or smaller than intended. Because each sub-adviser directs the trading for its own portion, if any, of the fund, and does not aggregate its transactions with those of the other sub-advisers, the fund may incur higher brokerage costs than would be the case if a single sub-adviser were managing the entire fund.
Investing in Other Funds. Regulatory restrictions may limit the amount that one fund can invest in another, and in certain cases further limit investments to the extent a fund’s shares are already held by the Adviser or its affiliates. The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds. The fund does not control the investments of the underlying funds, which may have different investment objectives and may engage in investment strategies that the fund would not engage in directly. Aggregation of underlying fund holdings may result in indirect concentration of assets in a particular industry or group of industries, or in a single issuer, which may increase volatility.
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, “growth” stocks can react differently from “value” stocks, and stocks selected using quantitative or technical analysis can react differently than stocks selected using fundamental analysis. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and
8
the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.
Industry Exposure. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments. In addition, from time to time, a small number of companies may represent a large portion of a single industry or a group of related industries as a whole, and these companies can be sensitive to adverse economic, regulatory, or financial developments.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Investing in ETFs. ETFs may trade in the secondary market (e.g., on a stock exchange) at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. An ETF that is not actively managed cannot sell poorly performing stocks or other assets as long as they are represented in its index or other benchmark. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error risk (the risk of errors in matching the ETF’s underlying assets to its index or other benchmark).
“Growth” Investing. “Growth” stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. “Growth” stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, “growth” stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.
“Value” Investing. “Value” stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. “Value” stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, “value” stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.
Quantitative Investing. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security’s value. In addition, factors that affect a security’s value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Other Investment Strategies
In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend the fund’s securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.
9
The fund may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, to increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. In addition, the fund may have indirect exposure to derivatives through its investments in underlying funds.
Shareholder Notice
The following is subject to change only upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders:
Strategic Advisers® Large Cap Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities and shares of funds with large market capitalizations.
The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.
The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV.
NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the SEC.
To the extent that the fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
Shares of underlying funds (other than ETFs) are valued at their respective NAVs. NAV is calculated using the values of the underlying funds in which the fund invests. For an explanation of the circumstances under which the underlying funds will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing, see the underlying funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information (SAIs). Other assets (including securities issued by ETFs) are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies.
Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.
Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Shareholder Information
Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares
NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
As used in this prospectus, the term “shares” generally refers to the shares offered through this prospectus.
Shares can be purchased only through certain discretionary investment programs offered by the Adviser or its affiliates. If you are not currently a client of the Adviser or its affiliates, please call 1-800-544-3455 (9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) for more information. Additional fees apply for discretionary investment programs. For more information on these fees, please refer to the “Buying and Selling Information” section of the SAI.
The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders.
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.
Because investments in the fund can be made only by the Adviser or an affiliate on behalf of its clients, the potential for excessive or short-term disruptive purchases and sales is reduced. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has not adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares and the fund accommodates frequent trading.
The fund does not place a limit on purchases or sales of fund shares by the Adviser or its affiliates. The fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase transaction at any time. In addition, the fund reserves the right to impose restrictions on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading.
There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for fund shares.
The price to buy one share is its NAV. Shares are sold without a sales charge.
Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
Provided the fund receives an order to buy shares in proper form before the close of business, the fund may place an order to buy shares of an underlying Fidelity® fund after the close of business, pursuant to a pre-determined allocation, and receive that day’s NAV.
Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.
The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
The price to sell one share is its NAV.
Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
11
Provided the fund receives an order to sell shares in proper form before the close of business, the fund may place an order to sell shares of an underlying Fidelity® fund after the close of business, pursuant to a pre-determined allocation, and receive that day’s NAV.
See “Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares” below for additional redemption information.
Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
Redemption proceeds may be paid in underlying fund shares, securities, or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
When your relationship with the Adviser or one of its affiliates is terminated, your shares may be sold at the NAV next calculated, in which case the redemption proceeds will remain in your account pending your instruction.
Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares
If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.
If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.
As noted elsewhere, payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.
Redemption Methods Available. Generally a fund expects to pay redemption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy redemption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also satisfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an available line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.
In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemption in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemption order in proper form by a fund.
12
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in July and December.
Distribution Options
Any dividends and capital gain distributions may be reinvested in additional shares or paid in cash.
As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.
Taxes on Distributions
Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund’s distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund’s distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. A percentage of certain distributions of dividends may qualify for taxation at long-term capital gains rates (provided certain holding period requirements are met).
If the Adviser buys shares on your behalf when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.
Taxes on Transactions
Your redemptions may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.
Fund Services
The fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders’ money and invests it toward a specified goal.
The fund employs a multi-manager and a fund of funds investment structure. The Adviser may allocate the fund’s assets among any number of sub-advisers or underlying funds. The Adviser may adjust allocations among underlying funds or sub-advisers from time to time, including making no allocation to, or terminating the sub-advisory contract with, a sub-adviser.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

15
Advisory Fee(s)
The fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
The fund’s management fee is calculated by adding the annual rate of 0.25% of the fund’s average daily net assets throughout the month plus the total fees payable monthly to the fund’s sub-advisers, if any, based upon each sub-adviser’s respective allocated portion of the fund’s assets. Because the fund’s management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund’s management fee may be higher or lower in the future. The fund’s maximum aggregate annual management fee will not exceed 0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser 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 through September 30, 2023.
In return for the services of the fund’s sub-advisers, the Adviser will pay AllianceBernstein, Aristotle Capital, Brandywine Global, ClariVest, ClearBridge, FIAM, Geode, Invesco, JPMorgan, Loomis Sayles, LSV, PineBridge, Principal, and T. Rowe Price the fee (as described above) payable to that sub-adviser. FIAM, in turn, will pay FMR UK, FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract, sub-advisory agreements, and sub-subadvisory agreements for the fund will be included in the fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ending November 30, 2020, when available.
FDC distributes the fund’s shares.
Distribution and Service Plan(s)
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.
Affiliates of the Adviser may receive service fees or distribution fees or both with respect to underlying funds that participate in Fidelity’s FundsNetwork®.
If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect balances as of May 31, 2020 and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations reflect results for the twelve months ended May 31, 2020, as if the merger had occurred on the first day of the year presented (June 1, 2019). The unaudited pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger per Rule 3-18 of Regulation S-X of Strategic Advisers Core Fund, Strategic Advisers Growth Fund and Strategic Advisers Value Fund (the “Acquired Funds”) into Strategic Advisers Large Cap Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a new series of Fidelity Rutland Square Trust II. Strategic Advisers Core Fund is considered the accounting survivor, if the merger is approved the acquiring fund will assume the performance record of Strategic Advisers Core Fund.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements were derived from financial statements prepared for the Acquired Funds in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus for the Acquired Funds. The reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction with no gain or loss recognized by the funds or their shareholders.
2. 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 delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of each Fund’s investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by each Fund’s investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors 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 procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee’s activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund’s investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Acquired Funds categorize the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 – 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 each 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 vendor 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. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
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. 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. If an unaffiliated open-end mutual fund’s NAV is unavailable, shares of that fund may be valued by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Board’s fair value pricing policies and is categorized as Level 2 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 May 31, 2020, is included at the end of the listing within Strategic Advisers Large Cap Fund Combined Pro Forma Portfolio (unaudited).
3. Investment Transactions and Income.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ 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. 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 Funds are 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Funds represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds determine 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.
4. 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. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
5. Merger Costs:
Strategic Advisers Growth Fund and Strategic Advisers Value Fund will bear their respective costs of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation. The estimated one time expenses related to the Reorganization for Strategic Advisers Growth Fund and Strategic Advisers Value Fund is $77,349 and $77,275, respectively. Strategic Advisers will bear Strategic Advisers Core Fund’s one time Reorganization expense of $77,376 pursuant to its all-inclusive management contract.
6. Capital Shares:
Shareholders of the Acquired Funds would become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund receiving shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the value of their holdings in each Acquired Fund. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued was calculated based on the May 31, 2020 net assets of each Acquired Fund and the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as disclosed within the Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities (unaudited).
7. Use of Estimates:
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8. Federal Income Taxes:
Each year, each of the Funds 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 income taxes is required.

PART C. | OTHER INFORMATION |
Item 15. | Indemnification |
Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. title 12 § 3817, a Delaware statutory trust may provide in its governing instrument for the indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Article X, Section 10.02 of the Trust Instrument sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, “disabling conduct”), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Trust Instrument, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (“FIIOC”) is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC’s performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC’s acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC’s acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC’s acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
