Seeks high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter, the fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.
Designed for investors who anticipate retiring in or within a few years of the fund's target retirement year at or around age 65. Investing primarily in a combination of Fidelity U.S. equity funds, international equity funds, bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity funds), some of which are actively managed and others of which are passively managed, meaning they seek to provide investment results that correspond to the total return of a specific index. Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity funds according to a "neutral" asset allocation strategy that adjusts over time until it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Freedom Blend Income Fund approximately 10 to 19 years after the target year. Ultimately, the fund may merge with the Freedom Blend Income Fund. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the Adviser) may modify a fund's neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests of investors. Buying and selling futures contracts (both long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently, remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation. Through an active asset allocation strategy, the Adviser may increase or decrease asset class exposures relative to the neutral asset allocations by up to 10% for equity, bond and short-term funds to reflect the Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term.
Investment performance of the Fidelity Freedom Blend Fund products depends on the performance of the underlying investment options and on the proportion of the assets invested in each underlying investment option. The investment risk of each Fidelity Freedom Blend Fund changes over time as its asset allocation changes. These risks are subject to the asset allocation decisions of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Adviser's ability to use an active asset allocation strategy, investors may be subject to a different risk profile compared to the fund's neutral asset allocation strategy shown in its glide path. The funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, commodity-linked and foreign securities. The funds are subject to the risks associated with investing in a passively managed underlying fund in which the passively managed underlying fund's performance could be lower than an actively managed fund that shifts its portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. No target date fund is considered a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through retirement. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' target dates.
