Title: Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund

 

Subheadline: Portfolio Managers Kyle Weaver and Becky Baker discuss an important proxy vote

 

[Kyle Weaver] Hi – I’m Kyle Weaver

 

[Becky Baker] And I’m Becky Baker. We are the portfolio managers of the Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund.

 

As you may be aware, Fidelity is proposing to reclassify our fund as non-diversified, and we are actively seeking shareholder votes for the proposal.

 

We believe, and the Board of Trustees agrees, that this reclassification is in the best interest of the fund and its shareholders.

 

[Kyle] Importantly, this would give us increased flexibility in the management of the fund and provide the potential for better investment performance.

 

We want to ensure that you are aware of this proposal because clients of yours hold shares in the fund. And your clients may or may not have voted their shares and we just ask that you urge them to vote.

 

The email that accompanies this video includes a link to proxy details and ways your clients can vote.

 

[Becky] Thank you, as always, for the confidence you have placed in us and in Fidelity.

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. 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.

 

Before investing in any mutual fund, consider the funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact your investment professional or visit institutional.fidelity.com for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
