6 habits of successful investorsSecret sauce: What do the best investors really have in common? They stay relentlessly focused on a few key things: saving aggressively, staying diversified, minimizing taxes and fees, and sticking to their investing plans no matter what the market's doing. Learn how to make these habits work for you.Worried there's a bubble?Hedge your bets: Just because stocks have been hitting new highs doesn't necessarily mean they're poised for a fall. But if you're concerned about valuations, there are steps you can take to help "bubble proof" your portfolio, like making sure you're broadly diversified and rebalancing regularly.Reading the Fed's tea leavesWhen history rhymes: The Fed's current playbook—of holding rates low while tolerating some inflation—looks an awful lot like its playbook in the 1940s. History suggests that if the Fed sticks to this course, value stocks and small caps could be leaders for the long term.Looking for income?Take caution with convertible bonds: Although convertibles have been a hot income investment of late, market dynamics for these unique securities are starting to look less appealing. If you're searching for income, there are plenty of other attractive asset classes to consider, like international dividend stocks, high-yield bonds, and more.Tax perks for your savingsTake it to the limit: Are you sure you're making the most of all the tax-advantaged accounts available to you? Even if you already save in a workplace plan, there may be other account types to consider, like HSAs, IRAs, and more. Learn about all your options for turbocharging your tax savings. |

| Before investing in any mutual fund or exchange-traded fund, you should consider its investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus, an offering circular, or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully. Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money. Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets. Investing in bonds involves risk, including interest rate risk, inflation risk, credit and default risk, call risk, and liquidity risk. Because of their narrow focus, sector investments tend to be more volatile than investments that diversify across many sectors and companies. Exchange-traded products (ETPs) are subject to market volatility and the risks of their underlying securities, which may include the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, foreign securities, commodities, and fixed income investments.
