The following information replaces similar information found in the “Appendix” section under the “Sales Charge Waiver Policies Applied by Certain Intermediaries” heading.
Merrill Lynch
Purchases or sales of front-end (i.e. Class A) or level-load (i.e., Class C) mutual fund shares through a Merrill platform or account will be eligible only for the following sales load waivers (front-end, contingent deferred, or back-end waivers) and discounts, which differ from those disclosed elsewhere in a fund’s prospectus. Purchasers will have to buy mutual fund shares directly from the mutual fund company or through another intermediary to be eligible for waivers or discounts not listed below.
It is the client’s responsibility to notify Merrill at the time of purchase or sale of any relationship or other facts that qualify the transaction for a waiver or discount. A Merrill representative may ask for reasonable documentation of such facts and Merrill may condition the granting of a waiver or discount on the timely receipt of such documentation.
Additional information on waivers and discounts is available in the Merrill Sales Load Waiver and Discounts Supplement (the “Merrill SLWD Supplement”) and in the Mutual Fund Investing at Merrill pamphlet at ml.com/funds. Clients are encouraged to review these documents and speak with their financial advisor to determine whether a transaction is eligible for a waiver or discount.

The following information replaces similar information found in the “Fund Management” section under the “Advisory Fee(s)” heading
Each class of the fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
When determining a class’s management fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once the fund’s monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class.
The annual management fee rate for each class of shares of the fund offered through this prospectus is the lesser of (1) the class’s mandate rate reduced by the class’s discount rate (if applicable) or (2) 0.72% for Class A, 0.72% for Class M, 0.71% for Class C, 0.69% for Class I, and 0.56% for Class Z. One-twelfth of the management fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the management fee for the class for that month.
A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.

The following information replaces similar information found in the “Fund Management” section under the “Advisory Fee(s)” heading.
Each class of the fund pays a management fee to the Adviser.
The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month.
When determining a class’s management fee, a mandate rate is calculated based on the monthly average net assets of a group of funds advised by FMR within a designated asset class. A discount rate is subtracted from the mandate rate once the fund’s monthly average net assets reach a certain level. The mandate rate and discount rate may vary by class.
The annual management fee rate for each class of shares of the fund offered through this prospectus is the lesser of (1) the class’s mandate rate reduced by the class’s discount rate (if applicable) or (2) 0.88% for Class A, 0.88% for Class M, 0.88% for Class C, 0.84% for Class I, and 0.72% for Class Z. One-twelfth of the management fee rate for a class is applied to the average net assets of the class for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the management fee for the class for that month.
A different management fee rate may be applicable to each class of the fund. The difference between classes is the result of separate arrangements for class-level services and/or waivers of certain expenses. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.
