Market RecapGlobal economic growth slowed throughout the 12 months ending June 30, 2019, with most major economies progressing toward more-advanced stages of the business cycle. The U.S. remained firmly in the late-cycle phase but with low near-term risk of recession. Policy stimulus in China stabilized that country's growth trajectory, but most economic indicators in Europe continued to point to tempered activity, due in part to escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China. Lackluster global growth spurred a dovish shift in monetary policy expectations among several central banks, fueling demand for riskier assets, such as equities, to start the year.

Looking abroad, non-U.S. equities gained 1.47%, according to the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Index. By region, Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+7%) led the way, followed by Europe ex U.K. and resource-rich Canada, both of which returned 4%. Japan (-4%) and the U.K. (-2%) lagged the index. By sector, higher dividend-oriented groups fared best, including utilities (+11%), consumer staples (+5%) and real estate (+5%). Consumer discretionary (-4%) and communication services (-3%) underperformed.

The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index advanced 10.42% the past 12 months. Ten of 11 sectors had a positive return, with the exception of energy (-13%), which was held back by slowing global growth and concerns about the industry's supply/demandprofile. As in foreign equity markets, higher-dividend-paying sectors were standouts, including utilities (+19) and real estate (+17%). The growth-oriented information technology sector (+18%) also fared well, while materials (+3%) and communicationservices (+4%) lagged. Commodities lagged other assets, as reflected in the -7% result of the Bloomberg Barclays CommodityIndex Total Return.

U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds advanced broadly this period, driven by slower global economic growth and uncertainty regarding trade policy and the direction of U.S. interest rates. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 7.87%. Corporate bonds gained 10.34%, topping both government-related bonds (+7.21%) and U.S. Treasuries (+7.24%). Securitized bonds rose 6.13%, led by commercial mortgage-backed securities (+8.95%). Most non-core fixed-income segments easily topped nominal U.S. Treasuries, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 4.84%. ■

Investment Approach• U. Fund® College Investing Age-Based Portfolios (the

Portfolios) are designed so that the target datereferenced in the Portfolio name is the approximate yearwhen we expect the beneficiaries to start college andbegin gradually withdrawing their investment.

• Each of the Portfolios seeks capital appreciation withreasonable safety of principal, consistent with the agesof the beneficiaries for whom the Portfolio wasdesigned.

• Except for MA College Portfolio, each Portfolio's assetallocation strategy becomes increasingly conservative asit approaches its target date – and beyond. Ultimately,the Portfolios are expected to merge with MA CollegePortfolio.

• The Portfolios employ a robust investment processfocused on helping investors solve the challenge ofsaving and investing for education expenses byleveraging the depth and strength of Fidelity'sinvestment research and resources.

Q&AAn interview with Andrew Dierdorf andBrett Sumsion, Co-Portfolio Managers of U.Fund College Investing Plan Portfolios.

Q: Brett, how did the Portfolios perform on an absolute basis for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019

B.S. Absolute returns for the age-based and risk-based (i.e., "static") Fidelity Funds, Multi-Firm and Fidelity Index Portfolios were positive the past 12 months, with performance trending moderately higher among the more-conservative portfolios along the vintage spectrum. (For specific results for Fidelity Funds Portfolios, Fidelity Index Portfolios and Multi-Firm Portfolios, please refer to the performance section of this report.)

Q: Andrew, how did the age-based Fidelity Funds and Multi-Firm Portfolios perform relativeto their Composite indexes the past year

A.D. All Fidelity and Multi-Firm actively managed age-based and/or static portfolios trailed, net of fees, their respective Composite benchmarks the past year, with the exception of Fidelity Conservative Portfolio, which slightly outperformed. The underperformance for these Portfolios was due to both active asset allocation and the investment performance of the underlying funds.

In terms of active asset allocation, a non-Composite allocation to commodities was the largest relative detractor, as this asset class returned -6.75% the past year, according tothe Bloomberg Barclays Commodity Index Total Return. Overweighting emerging-markets equities also hurt the Portfolios' relative results.

Elsewhere, underweighting two stronger-performing asset classes – U.S. equities and investment-grade bonds – hindered the Portfolios' relative performance. Our overall equity allocation strategy of overweighting non-U.S. equities and underweighting U.S. equities failed to play out as we'd hoped this past year, as U.S. equities generally outperformedforeign stocks. However, we maintained our positioning here, believing it would add value over a longer time frame.

Both the active age-based Fidelity and Multi-Firm Fund Portfolios benefited relative to their respective Composites, from their non-benchmark exposure to emerging-markets

debt securities. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, the benchmark for EM debt, gained 11.32% the past year, outperforming U.S. investment-grade bonds, which gained 7.87%, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Q: Could you elaborate on the impact underlying investment performance had on the aged-based Portfolios' performance versus Composites

A.D. Their exposure to U.S. equities detracted most. More specifically, an investment in Fidelity® Stock Selector All Cap Fund (+4.52%) hurt most, as this strategy lagged the broader Composite benchmark for U.S. equities – the Dow Jones U.S.Total Stock Market Index, which gained 8.88% the past year. Similarly, investments in Fidelity® Growth Company Fund (+4.95%) and Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund (+5.14%) also held back the Portfolios' relative results.

Partially offsetting that relative underperformance in U.S. equities was superior results among underlying non-U.S. equity funds versus Composites. An investment in Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund added the most value, as this fund's 5.89% gain outdistanced the 1.24% result of the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Fidelity age-based Portfolios got a boost from investments in Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (8.42%), which topped the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index the past 12 months.

Looking at the age-based Multi-Firm Portfolios, performance trends were similar. Underlying investments in U.S. equities lagged the Composites' benchmark for this asset class – the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index. Here, both LSV Value Equity Fund (+0.27%) and Fidelity Growth Company Fund lagged, whereas an investment in JPMorgan Small CapEquity Fund (+3.12%) added value relative to Composites, as this fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (-3.31%), the benchmark for small-cap U.S. equities.

The age-based Multi-Firm Portfolios got a relative boost fromperformance among underlying investment-grade bond funds. The notable standout in this category was PGIM Total Return Bond Fund (+9.13%), which handily outperformed thebenchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Q: How did Fidelity Index Portfolios perform versus their benchmarks

A.D. Returns for the Fidelity Index Portfolios were roughly in line with respective Composites, as we would expect for portfolios designed to track indexes with various mixes of five underlying asset classes: U.S. and non-U.S. equity, commodities, and investment-grade and short-term debt.

Q: Turning back to you, Brett, any final thoughts

for shareholders

B.S. The U.Fund College Investing Plan Portfolios are designed to help investors save for educational expenses. We recognize that there will be short-term intervals when theFunds outperform or underperform their Composites – that'ssomething we expect, given the dynamic nature of the markets and our exposure to diversified assets with varied sources of risk and return.

We continue to focus on college savings outcomes for investors in 529 portfolios. Our investment process emphasizes strategic allocation as the primary driver of performance, and applies research that is focused on customer needs and capital markets over long-term periods. In Fidelity active and multi-firm portfolios, active management decisions are implemented to add value over intermediate time periods of one to five years. Active management decisions seek to identify mispriced assets through research on asset allocation and individual securities. [Editor's note: For more detail on the U.Fund Portfolios' active allocation positioning, please see the callout portion of this review.] ■

Andrew Dierdorf on the co-managers'active asset allocation approach as part of the investment process for theage-based U.Fund College Investing Plan Portfolios:

"We believe that financial markets are largely efficient, and that fundamentals drive markets and security prices over the long term. This belief is reflected in our strategic asset allocation for the U.Fund Portfolios. We also believe that prices of financial assets can periodically diverge from underlying fair value, due to such factors as overreaction, regimes and cycles, and liquidity preferences, among others. Here, our active asset allocation process strives to capitalize on the mispricing of assets and inefficiencies in the marketplace, and this is reflected in modest asset allocation adjustments relative to the strategic glide path of the U.Fund Portfolios. We take a 'gradual contrarian' approach to active asset allocation – often seeking to be ahead of anticipated trends in the intermediate term, and tilting the Portfolios toward where we think they could be rewarded for taking risk over a one- to five-year time frame.

"In the first half of 2019, we adjusted the positioningof the portfolios to be closer to Composite indexes across primary risk factors. As of June 30, we believenon-U.S. stocks are more attractively valued than U.S. equities. Within non-U.S. equities, positioning emphasizes emerging markets (EM) based on our views of improving fundamentals and stronger growth prospects than developed-markets (DM) economies. We also believe that EM equities remainfavorably valued and less exposed to risks relative toU.S. equities. Versus Composites, the Portfolios are positioned to be overweight EM and non-U.S. DM equities, and underweight U.S. equities.

"We consider inflation-sensitive assets to be attractively valued following a long period of low inflation. As late-cycle pressure builds in developed economies against the backdrop of accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, we think market participants may be mispricing inflation potential. Assuch, we've maintained exposure to commodities and other inflation-sensitive assets.

"We remain committed to ongoing excellence in theU.Fund College Investing Plan Portfolios, and we believe the Portfolios' dynamic and diversified investment strategy can provide an effective approach to saving for education."
