In this authorization, "Fidelity"

accounts may only accept mutual funds or cash
transfers. Private Portfolio Services accounts may
accept cash, certain mutual funds, and individual
securities subject to additional asset acceptability.

- Master Limited Partnerships. "Master" limited partnerships
can be held in Fidelity brokerage accounts. Master
LPs have symbols, trade on an exchange, and are

which do not have symbols and do not trade on an
exchange, may only be held in certain registration
types. Call us at 800-544-6666 for additional
information.
- Fidelity cannot accept orders
to trade based on your transferred assets until your
assets have been delivered to Fidelity.
- The transfer is not a taxable event and will not be
reported to the IRS. If you are transferring the
assets from your qualified retirement plan(s) to the
Fidelity Retirement Plan, contact your tax advisor to
determine if it is necessary to file Form 5310-A
prior to the transfer.
- Possible Fees. You
may be responsible for liquidation, transfer,
termination, surrender, and penalty fees when you
transfer your assets. Check with the firm holding
your assets for information regarding these fees.
- If you hold proprietary mutual fund positions at your
current firm, check with Fidelity to determine if
these can be transferred. Certain proprietary funds
may not be eligible for in-kind transfers.
