As of the close of business on March 1, 2013, new purchases in the fund will be limited to existing shareholders.Fidelity Small Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies with small market capitalizations (those with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 2000 Index or the S&P Small Cap 600 Index) and using fundamental analysis to identify companies that management believes are undervalued in the marketplace. The fund, which is co-managed by Chuck Myers and Derek Janssen, has $3.5 billion in assets under management as of January 31, 2013. “Small Cap Value Fund has experienced a steadily growing asset base and more recently strengthening investor cash flows,” said Brian B. Hogan, president of Fidelity’s Equity Group. “We’ve analyzed the situation closely, and believe that it’s in the interests of shareholders to close the fund to new investors at this time. We believe closing the fund will give Chuck and Derek an opportunity to build upon the fund’s long-term performance track record.” Fidelity will open new accounts in Fidelity Small Cap Value Fund (retail and Advisor share classes) until 4:00 p.m. ET on March 1, 2013. After that, investors generally will not be able to open new accounts in the fund. However, existing shareholders who are invested in the fund will continue to be able to add to their accounts. Employer-sponsored retirement plans and certain discretionary programs offered by registered investment advisors may be able to open additional accounts for investors if the fund was established as an option as of March 1, 2013. However, after March 1, 2013, Fidelity will no longer accept new investors into the fund, and retirement plan sponsors and advisors who have not established the fund as an investment option by March 1, 2013, will no longer be able to do so. For investors considering investing in a small cap fund, Fidelity offers several additional options, including: Fidelity Stock Selector Small Cap Fund (retail and Advisor share classes); Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund; Fidelity Advisor Small Cap Fund; Fidelity Small Cap Growth Fund (retail and Advisor share classes); and Fidelity Small Cap Enhanced Index Fund.
