06.30 Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund ATCIZ PRO-01 | Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund

Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund/Fidelity Advisor® Mega Cap Stock Fund A, T, C, I, Z

Investment Objective

The fund seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the fund or certain other Fidelity^® funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your investment professional and in the Fund Distribution section beginning on page 24 of the prospectus.

Shareholder fees

(fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund} - 06.30 Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund ATCIZ PRO-01 - Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class A		Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class T		Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class C		Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Institutional Class Advisor	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class Z Equity
Maximum sales charge (load) on purchases (as a % of offering price)	5.75%		3.50%		none		none	none
Maximum contingent deferred sales charge (as a % of the lesser of original purchase price or redemption proceeds)	none	[1]	none	[1]	1.00%	[2]	none	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund} - 06.30 Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund ATCIZ PRO-01 - Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class A	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class T	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class C	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Institutional Class Advisor	Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Class Z Equity

Other expenses	0.25%	0.26%	0.25%	0.23%	0.09%
Total annual operating expenses	0.95%	1.21%	1.70%	0.68%	0.54%

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 and if you hold your shares:

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 25% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing at least 80% of assets in common stocks of companies with mega market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Top 200^® Index or the S&P 100^® Index).
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Index Information section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Visit institutional.fidelity.com for more recent performance information.

The returns in the bar chart do not reflect any applicable sales charges; if sales charges were reflected, returns would be lower than those shown.

Year-by-Year Returns

Calendar Years

During the periods shown in the chart for Class A:	Returns	Quarter ended
Highest Quarter Return	18.23%	June 30, 2009
Lowest Quarter Return	-13.14%	September 30, 2011
Year-to-Date Return	0.32%	June 30, 2016

Average Annual Returns

Unlike the returns in the bar chart, the returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales charges. 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. After-tax returns for Class A are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will vary. 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.

Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund/Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund USD ($)
(fees paid directly from your investment)	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Retail Class
Management fee	0.45%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	none
Other expenses	0.24%
Total annual operating expenses	0.69%

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:

Sell All Shares

Expense Example {- Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Mega Cap Stock Fund Fidelity Mega Cap Stock Fund-Retail Class USD ($)
1 year	$ 70
3 years	221
5 years	384
10 years	$ 859

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 25% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing at least 80% of assets in common stocks of companies with mega market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Top 200^® Index or the S&P 100^® Index).
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Index Information section of the prospectus. Prior to December 1, 2007, the fund operated under certain different investment policies. The fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® Series Growth & Income Fund/Fidelity® Series Growth & Income Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity® Series Growth & Income Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Series Growth & Income Fund Series PRO-01 Fidelity® Series Growth & Income Fund USD ($)
(fees paid directly from your investment)	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity® Series Growth & Income Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Series Growth & Income Fund Series PRO-01 Fidelity® Series Growth & Income Fund Fidelity Series Growth & Income Fund-Series Class
Management fee	0.45%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	none
Other expenses	0.19%
Total annual operating expenses	0.64%	[1]

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:

10 years	$ 798

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 36% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing a majority of assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation.
• Potentially investing in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

• 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. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

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.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Index Information section of the prospectus. Prior to August 1, 2013, the fund was named Fidelity^® Series Mega Cap Fund, and the fund operated under certain different investment policies and compared its performance to a different additional index. The fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

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:

• Normally investing a majority of assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation.
• Potentially investing in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

• 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.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

• 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. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

Fund Summary

Fund:
Fidelity Advisor® Series Growth & Income Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity Advisor® Series Growth & Income Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Advisor Series Growth & Income Fund PRO-01 Fidelity Advisor® Series Growth & Income Fund USD ($)
(fees paid directly from your investment)	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity Advisor® Series Growth & Income Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Advisor Series Growth & Income Fund PRO-01 Fidelity Advisor® Series Growth & Income Fund Fidelity Advisor Series Growth & Income Fund-Default
Management fee	0.45%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	none
Other expenses	0.23%
Total annual operating expenses	0.68%	[1]

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:

3 years	218
5 years	379
10 years	$ 847

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing a majority of assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation.
• Potentially investing in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® Fund/Fidelity® Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity® Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Fund USD ($)
(fees paid directly from your investment)	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity® Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Fund Fidelity Fund-Retail Class
Management fee	0.34%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	none
Other expenses	0.18%
Total annual operating expenses	0.52%

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:

Sell All Shares

Expense Example {- Fidelity® Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Fund Fidelity Fund-Retail Class USD ($)
1 year	$ 53
3 years	167
5 years	291
10 years	$ 653

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 67% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
• Potentially investing a portion of assets in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds).
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.

• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

• 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. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

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.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the 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.

Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund/Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Growth Discovery Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund USD ($)
(fees paid directly from your investment)	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Growth Discovery Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund Fidelity Growth Discovery Fund-Retail Class
Management fee (fluctuates based on the fund's performance relative to a securities market index)	0.56%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	none
Other expenses	0.22%
Total annual operating expenses	0.78%

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:

Sell All Shares

Expense Example {- Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund}	06.30 Fidelity Growth Discovery Fund Retail PRO-01 Fidelity® Growth Discovery Fund Fidelity Growth Discovery Fund-Retail Class USD ($)
1 year	$ 80
3 years	249
5 years	433
10 years	$ 966

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 57% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
• Investing in companies that Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) believes have above-average growth potential (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks).
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.

• 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.

• "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.

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.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Index Information section of the prospectus. Prior to February 1, 2007, the fund operated under certain different investment policies and compared its performance to a different index. The fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 57% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Principal Investment Risks

• 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.
