“With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SARSEP, 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.”

C:

The Staff requests we explain the IRA custodian’s authority for voting shares that Fidelity IRA shareholders do not in regard to a proposal to change an investment company’s sub-classification from diversified to non-diversified and eliminate a fundamental policy

R:

The terms of the IRA custodial agreements executed by each depositor authorize the custodian to vote any mutual fund shares held in the custodial account, for which no timely instructions are received, in the same proportions as the custodian has been instructed to vote the mutual fund held in the custodial accounts for which it has received timely instructions.

In accordance with its view of present applicable law, each company will vote its shares held in its respective Variable Account at the Meeting in accordance with instructions received from persons having a voting interest in the Variable Account. Those persons who have a voting interest at the close of business on February 21, 2023, will be entitled to submit instructions to their company. For ease of reference, persons with a voting interest in a Variable Account may be referred to as “shareholders” in this Proxy Statement.”
