FIWA was formed in 2016. This brochure covers FIWA’s provision of the Fidelity Managed Account Xchange® Essentials program (“FMAX Essentials” or the “Platform”) to Intermediaries (defined below). FIWA also offers several other products and services including the Fidelity Managed Account Xchange® (“FMAX”) program, which is separate and apart from the FMAX Essentials program described in this brochure. Brochures dedicated to these other FIWA products and services can be found on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. FMAX Essentials FMAX Essentials is designed to provide financial services firms, including registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, banks, and family offices (“Intermediaries” or, individually, “Intermediary”) with an investment advisory platform, which they can use to provide wealth management solutions directly to their clients (“Investors” or individually “Investor”). The Intermediary, working with the Investor, is solely responsible for obtaining appropriate information concerning the Investor’s financial resources, risk tolerance, and investment objectives, and has full discretion and sole responsibility to determine the investment solutions it deems appropriate to meet the needs of its Investors. The Platform provides Intermediaries with access to a select list of investment solutions including fund strategist portfolios (“FSPs”), separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) (FSPs and SMAs herein referred to as “Strategies” or individually a “Strategy”), mutual funds, and exchange traded products (“ETPs”) (when discussed together mutual funds and ETPs are hereinafter referred to as “Funds”). The investment solutions are provided by unaffiliated investment managers, FIWA, and affiliates of FIWA (collectively, “Investment Managers”). FIWA engages directly with Investment Managers to make FSP and SMA Strategies available to Intermediaries on the Platform. From time to time FIWA may add or remove strategies from the Platform at its discretion. Many of the Strategies on the Platform are accessed through the use of investment models (“Models”). These Models are provided by Investment Managers, each acting as a “Model Provider”. The Model Provider constructs the Model by selecting the underlying investments (individual securities or Funds) and weights for each Strategy. The Implementation Manager (defined below) implements the Model Strategies by conducting trading activities in an Investor account as directed by the Model Provider. For some Strategies offered by FIWA and its affiliates, the Investment Manager will retain trade discretion (“Discretionary Strategies”). Discretionary Strategies require the Intermediary to contract directly with the Investment Manager and will result in the Discretionary Strategy Investment Manager obtaining trading discretion over the assets in the Strategy. The Platform also offers access to FIWA research, client reporting functionality, tools, and related services to assist Intermediaries in evaluating their Investors’ financial needs, performing Investor risk profiling, creating Investor proposals, conducting account opening, and performing trading 4 and rebalancing activities. FMAX Essentials integrates with a variety of financial technology (“FinTech”) capabilities, including those affiliated with FIWA such as eMoney Advisor LLC (“eMoney”) (financial planning), and WealthscapeSM (a brokerage portal offered by National Financial Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC, each an affiliate of FIWA). Generally, the Intermediary separately contracts for these services directly with the applicable FinTech, including the FIWA affiliates. Intermediaries may offer FMAX Essentials as a wrap program to their Investors. In the event that an Intermediary elects to offer FMAX Essentials as a wrap program, the Intermediary is responsible for meeting the associated requirements and disclosures. Conflicts of Interest in FMAX Essentials The Strategies and Funds available through FMAX Essentials are limited to Strategies and Funds for which FIWA or an affiliate is the issuer, sponsor, or investment adviser, and Strategies and Funds provided by third party Investment Managers for which FIWA or its affiliates are compensated for distribution or servicing of such Strategies and Funds. FIWA therefore receives compensation for investment in such Strategies and Funds. As a result, Investor’s assets invested through FMAX Essentials will be invested in Strategies and Funds in which FIWA or its affiliates have a financial interest because it or its affiliates receive fees for providing distribution, management, sub-advisory or other services. Please see the Client Referrals and Other Compensation section for details on the types of compensation received by FIWA or its affiliates. FIWA addresses these conflicts of interest by disclosing the nature of the compensation and related financial incentives in this brochure and other materials relating to the FMAX Essentials. In addition, the amount paid to FIWA representatives does not vary based on the Strategies and Funds selected when constructing the investment lineup for FMAX Essentials. In general, however, Intermediaries should understand that investments in the Strategies and Funds available in FMAX Essentials, result in payments of compensation to FIWA and its affiliates. FMAX Essentials Advisory Programs The Platform offers six distinct programs for Intermediaries to consider for use with their Investors: 1) the FMAX Essentials Fund Strategist Portfolio Program (“FMAX Essentials FSP Program”); 2) the FMAX Essentials Separately Managed Account Program (“FMAX Essentials SMA Program”); 3) the FMAX Essentials Strategist Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) Program (“FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program”); 4) the FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program; 5) the FMAX Essentials UMA Program; and 6) the FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program. The FMAX Essentials FSP Program, the FMAX Essentials SMA Program, the FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program, the FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program, the FMAX Essentials UMA Program and the FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program are described in more detail below and are each hereinafter referred to an “Advisory Program”. The FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program, the FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program, and the FMAX Essentials UMA Program are hereinafter referred to as “UMA Programs” (or, individually, a “UMA Program”). 5 FMAX Essentials FSP Program The FMAX Essentials FSP Program provides Intermediaries with access to a universe of professionally managed model portfolios composed of Funds. In the FMAX Essentials FSP Program, the Investment Manager constructs the FSP Strategy by selecting the underlying investments and weights. At the request of an Intermediary, FIWA will provide non- discretionary investment advice through creation of a custom model portfolio that the Intermediary can utilize in the FMAX Essentials FSP Program. FIWA creates the custom model portfolio within the parameters dictated by the Intermediary, including the share class of any underlying Funds. The Investment Manager provides the underlying investments and weights to the Implementation Manager (defined below) for implementation. The Implementation Manager performs all trading activities associated with the FSP Strategy. The Platform assists the Intermediary in identifying the FSP Strategies that align with an Investor’s risk profile and investment objectives. The Intermediary is solely responsible for selecting the Strategy for the Investor. Account minimums in the FMAX Essentials FSP Program start at $10,000. Some FSP Strategies require higher minimums. Minimum account sizes may be lowered at the discretion of the Investment Manager or FIWA, as applicable. FMAX Essentials SMA Program The FMAX Essentials SMA Program provides Intermediaries with access to a universe of investment style-specific professionally managed portfolios comprised of individual securities and/or Funds for use with their Investors. The Platform assists the Intermediary in identifying the SMAs that correspond to the proposed asset classes and styles, or the Intermediary can independently identify SMAs that align with an Investor’s risk profile and investment objectives. SMAs can be managed on a discretionary basis by the Investment Manager or provided as a Model, in which case the SMA will be traded by the Implementation Manager (defined below). Certain discretionary Investment Managers offer highly customized SMA strategies. The customized SMA strategies typically require additional input from the Intermediary or Investor. This input can include account level security or sector-based restrictions or tilts, or customizations based on an Investor’s specific tax or sustainable preferences. It can also include modifications to asset allocations in a multi-asset solution or include tilts away from or toward certain investment styles as part of the Investor’s account construction. Intermediaries and Investors should review and monitor these custom portfolios to ensure they continue to be consistent with the Investor’s risk profile and investment objectives. Please see the Form ADV Part 2A for the relevant discretionary Investment Manager(s) for additional information on these strategies. A standard FMAX Essentials SMA Program portfolio requires an account size minimum of $50,000. Minimum account sizes may be lowered at the discretion of the Investment Manager or FIWA, as applicable. 6 FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program The FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program provides Intermediaries with a prepackaged UMA portfolio managed by Investment Managers, including FIWA and unaffiliated third parties. This program provides professionally managed portfolios comprised of Funds and SMAs that are aligned with an Investor’s risk profile. A standard FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program portfolio requires an account size minimum of $250,000. Minimum account sizes may be lowered at the discretion of the Investment Manager or FIWA, as applicable. FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program The FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program provides Intermediaries with recommended strategic asset allocation templates that can be used to create customized UMA solutions for Investors. FIWA provides recommended asset allocations and tactical sub-asset category target weights to align with an Investor’s risk profile. Intermediaries select investment options aligned with the FMAX Essentials Guided UMA targets from a select investment universe of Funds, FSPs and SMAs managed by FIWA and select third party Investment Managers. Investment options available in the FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program are provided by FIWA and its affiliates, Fidelity Funds Network Select Partners, and Envestnet PMC and its affiliates. A standard FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program portfolio requires an account size minimum of $50,000. Minimum account sizes may be lowered at the discretion of the Investment Manager or FIWA, as applicable. FMAX Essentials UMA Program In the FMAX Essentials UMA Program, an Intermediary has the ability to incorporate multiple Funds, FSPs, and SMAs into a single brokerage account. Intermediaries are responsible for developing the asset allocation and selecting the investment solution for each asset class. In the FMAX Essentials UMA Program, Intermediaries can select investment options from all available FMAX Essentials Funds, FSPs and SMAs. The Intermediary may also utilize a portfolio they have created using the FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program functionality, discussed below, as a sleeve within the UMA (an “Intermediary Managed Sleeve”). In this scenario the Implementation Manager (defined below), not the Intermediary, will implement trade orders for the Intermediary Managed Sleeve. However, in certain circumstances such as when the Intermediary Managed Sleeve holds thinly traded securities, the Intermediary (not the Implementation Manager) may be responsible for trading the Intermediary Managed Sleeve. A standard FMAX Essentials UMA Program portfolio requires an account size minimum of $50,000. Minimum account sizes may be lowered at the discretion of the Investment Manager or FIWA, as applicable. 7 FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program The FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program (“AMM Program”) functionality allows an Intermediary to create, manage, and trade proprietary portfolios selected from Funds offered on the Platform. In the AMM Program, the Intermediary is solely responsible for creating, managing, trading, and making any recommendations with respect to its portfolios or any investments. A standard FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program portfolio requires an account size minimum of $2,500. Minimum account sizes may be lowered at the discretion of the Investment Manager or FIWA, as applicable. Implementation Manager FIWA has retained Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“EAM”), an unaffiliated investment adviser, to provide model implementation and overlay management services (together this function is referred to as “Implementation Manager”) as well as certain administrative services for FMAX Essentials. While FIWA contracts with the Implementation Manager to make its services available to the Intermediary for the FMAX Essentials program, the Intermediary is solely responsible for appointing the Implementation Manager and directing the Implementation Manager to provide the model implementation, overlay management, and related services for FMAX Essentials accounts. EAM is granted discretionary authority over Investor accounts by the Intermediary to perform the implementation of Models received from Model Providers and for particular sleeves in a UMA as described in more detail above. In situations where EAM is acting as Implementation Manager, EAM will liquidate securities that are transferred in-kind into Investor accounts that do not meet the parameters of the selected Strategy. The Implementation Manager has the authority to liquidate such assets, and absent special circumstances or direction from the Intermediary, Implementation Manager will treat the transfer of securities into the account as an instruction to liquidate the securities. In certain circumstances, Investors will have a taxable event when the Implementation Manager liquidates such assets. Accordingly, Investors should consult their Intermediary and tax consultant before transferring in-kind assets into their FMAX Essentials account. The Intermediary is responsible for the liquidation of any assets transferred in-kind for accounts using the AAM Program. With the exception of liquidating securities transferred in-kind that do not meet the parameters of the selected Strategy, the Implementation Manager does not have discretionary management authority over any SMA when the Intermediary selects a Discretionary Strategy or for AMM Program accounts. In certain circumstances related to transacting in thinly traded securities, the Intermediary retains responsibility for trading such securities. At its discretion in the future, FIWA may utilize other affiliated or unaffiliated investment advisers to act in the role of Implementation Manager. Investment Restrictions The Platform is designed to enable Intermediaries to comply with Rule 3a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Investor’s account is managed by the Intermediary on 8 the basis of the Investor’s financial situation and stated investment objectives. Investors may also request reasonable investment restrictions be placed on an account. Requests for investment restrictions must be approved by the Implementation Manager or the discretionary Investment Manager, as applicable. Intermediaries should understand that investment restrictions are not acted upon immediately by the Implementation Manager or discretionary Investment Managers due to the operational processes associated with communicating and reviewing such restrictions. In addition, investment restrictions can have an adverse effect on account performance, asset diversification and the stated investment objective of a Strategy, compared to an account that is fully invested in the investment solutions. FMAX Essentials Tools and Services Investment Manager Research Tools The Platform provides Intermediaries with access to a wide array of data on FSPs, SMAs, and Funds available through the Platform. Historical performance, portfolio composition and risk analytics information are sourced from FIWA and multiple third-party providers including Investment Managers. Information obtained from third-party sources is believed to be reliable; however, FIWA makes no guarantees that the information supplied by third-party sources is accurate, complete, or timely, and FIWA does not provide any warranties regarding results obtained from its use. FIWA does not independently review the performance calculations of the Investment Managers or performance information from them, and such calculations may not be conducted on a uniform basis, in most cases FIWA requires Investment Managers to be in compliance with Global Investment Performance Standards (“GIPS”) or to obtain audited/verified performance calculations for the FSPs and SMAs included on the Platform. FIWA may allow certain FSPs and SMAs on the Platform without GIPS compliance or audited/verified performance at its discretion. The Intermediary can use the Platform research tools and other functionality to screen and evaluate FSPs, SMAs, and Funds based on the Intermediary’s preferences. The results of any sorting or screening functionality available through FMAX Essentials are for the Intermediary’s informational purposes only and does not constitute tax, legal, investment advice, or a recommendation by FIWA of any particular investment, manager, Fund, or Strategy. When using any Platform research tools or other functionality, the Intermediary is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of any Strategy or Fund for use with an Investor. Investment Research and Due Diligence FMAX Essentials provides access to investment research and due diligence on FSPs, SMAs, and Funds to Intermediaries using four categories of investment research ratings (which may also be referred to as research statuses): “Does Not Meet,” “Meets-Quantitative,” “Meets- Qualitative,” and “Preferred.” FIWA maintains fundamental and quantitative investment manager research teams to perform the investment due diligence for the Platform. Although different investment solutions demand unique due diligence requirements, FIWA’s evaluations follow a common four pillar structure as discussed in greater detail in the “Investment Research and Due Diligence” section below. 9 Investment Proposal Tool The Intermediary utilizes the Platform to create personalized investment recommendations (“Proposal”) for Investors. The Platform provides Intermediaries with an Investor Profile Questionnaire (“IPQ”). The IPQ includes a series of risk-based and demographic questions designed to evaluate an Investor’s risk profile and investment preferences. The Intermediary can use the result of the IPQ to assist it in identifying risk appropriate investment choices for their Investor. The finalized Proposal is a personalized investment recommendation for the Investor that incorporates an Investor’s risk profile, preferences, and the specific investment recommendations of their Intermediary. Investor Billing Administration FMAX Essentials provides account billing administration to Intermediaries. FIWA can calculate the fees to be charged to Investors on an account-by-account basis based upon billing information provided by the Intermediary. When directed by the Intermediary, fees are deducted from the Investor’s account and distributed to the appropriate parties as directed by the Intermediary. When using the FMAX Essentials billing service, Intermediaries determine if Investor fees are calculated and collected in advance or in arrears. When Investor Fees are calculated in advance there are no fee adjustments for (i) appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets during that quarter, (ii) adjustments to the asset allocation or rebalancing when assets are invested in a single portfolio that accesses multiple Strategies and Funds, such as in the UMA Programs, or (iii) the replacement of a Strategy or Fund within a UMA Program. This calculation process means that Investors could have paid a greater or lesser Investor fee for that quarter had the intra-quarter reallocations and/or replacement of Investment Managers or Funds been in place at the time of the quarterly billing calculation. Intermediaries may elect not use FMAX Essentials for billing services. For mid-quarter deposits or withdrawals exceeding a de minimis threshold ($10,000, unless the Intermediary agrees on a different threshold) the Platform will calculate an adjustment to the Investor fee for those assets for the remainder of the quarter (“Intra-Quarter Billable Assets”). Withdrawal or deposits for those Intra-Quarter Billable Assets will be calculated in accordance with the allocation of the assets in the Strategies or Funds at the time of the intra- quarter billing. FMAX Essentials’ billing services can accommodate a billing structure that includes householding of accounts to capture scaling rates and different billing calculations at the request of the Intermediary. Due to fractional rounding associated with the variable components of fees (e.g., tiered fee schedules), Investors may notice deviations of the Investor Fee in their quarterly billing statement slightly above or below the Investor Fee stated in their Statement of Investment Selection. 10 Unsupervised Assets Intermediaries have the ability to designate certain holdings in their Investors’ accounts as “unsupervised assets,” meaning they are held within an FMAX Essentials account but are not managed or overseen through the FMAX Essentials Advisory Program. The Intermediary is solely responsible for monitoring and managing the holdings designated as unsupervised assets. The Intermediary is also responsible for any fee calculation and billing administration on unsupervised assets. Performance Reporting and Support Services The Platform provides on-demand performance reporting capabilities to assist the Intermediary in monitoring Investor portfolios, as well as the capability for the Intermediary to deliver regular performance reporting to Investors. FIWA and its affiliates also provide support services to Intermediaries, including deployment, operational and technical support, and training. Additionally, the Platform provides Investment Managers with access to certain reporting including data analytics derived from Intermediaries and Investment Managers use of Funds or other investment products for Investors through the Platform. Consulting Services Upon request, FIWA investment consultants may provide non-discretionary advice, research and information to Intermediaries related to an Intermediary’s portfolio construction activities in a variety of contexts, including but not limited to within the UMA Programs. The Intermediary remains solely responsible for determining the initial and ongoing appropriateness of any portfolio construction approach, asset allocation, or investment solution choices it elects to recommend to the Investor. Reporting Only Services Intermediaries may elect to use FMAX Essential’s standalone reporting service. This service provides reporting and billing administration on accounts managed or serviced by the Intermediary and custodied at FIWA’s affiliate, National Financial Services LLC (“NFS”) or another custodian, but not held within an FMAX Essentials Advisory Program. The Intermediary is solely responsible for monitoring and managing these reporting only assets, as well as any presentation of the assets in the FMAX Essentials client reports. Tax and Values Overlay Services For accounts that meet certain eligibility requirements, an Intermediary may offer its Investors the ability to utilize the Platform’s tax and/or values overlay services (“Tax Overlay” and “Values Overlay”). Tax Overlay services seek to improve the Investor’s after-tax returns by analyzing holdings and trading activities in an account. Values Overlay allows an Intermediary to integrate sustainability factors into the management of an Investor’s account. If selected by the Intermediary and Investor, the Implementation Manager provides the Tax Overlay and/or Values Overlay services to an account or sleeve at the direction of the Intermediary. Neither FIWA nor the Implementation Manager provide tax planning advice or services, and Investors should consultant their accountant or tax professional. 11 Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, FIWA managed $9,384,114,700 of client assets on a discretionary basis in relation to services that are not covered by this brochure. As of December 31, 2025, FIWA did not have any non-discretionary regulatory assets under management. FEES AND COMPENSATION Intermediaries using FMAX Essentials will pay a Platform fee to FIWA (“Platform Fee”). The Platform Fee covers most of the services of the Platform. The Platform Fee is calculated on an account-by-account basis for each Investor account controlled by the Intermediary. The Platform fee is calculated as an annual percentage of the total assets of each Investor’s account based on the market value of the account at the end of each quarter. FIWA may charge a minimum account Platform Fee for accounts that do not meet an account minimum. The Platform Fee is charged to the Intermediary but may be administered by debiting the Investor’s account when directed by the Intermediary. The Platform Fee will generally be waived for FMAX Essentials FSP Program, FMAX Essentials SMA Program, FMAX Essentials UMA Program, FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program, FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program, and FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program accounts that utilize Funds, FSP Strategies, SMA Strategies, and Strategist UMA Strategies managed by FIWA and its affiliates. To qualify for the fee waiver in the FMAX Essentials FSP Program, the FMAX Essentials SMA Program, and the FMAX Essentials Strategist UMA Program, an Investor account must hold only FSP Strategies and SMA Strategies managed by FIWA and its affiliates and invested in those Strategies for the entire billing period. In the FMAX Essentials UMA Program, FMAX Essentials Guided UMA Program, and the FMAX Essentials Advisor Model Management Program, an account will qualify for the fee waiver for the pro rata percentage of assets invested in Strategies and Funds managed by FIWA and its affiliates for the entire billing period. The standard Platform Fee schedules for FMAX Essentials are detailed below. FSP Program SMA Program AMM Program 0.05% 0.07% Strategist UMA Program 0.07% Guided UMA and UMA Programs 0.07% 0.05% $25 annual $25 annual $0 annual $25 annual $15 annual 0.00% (no account minimum) 0.00% (no account minimum) 0.00% (no account minimum) Program Assets Minimum Account Fee (per Investor Account) FIWA and FIWA affiliated products – waived Platform Fee Pro rata % of assets in non- FIWA affiliated products X 0.07% Pro rata % of assets in non- FIWA affiliated products X 0.05% 12 The Platform Fee calculation considers cash and cash equivalents. Platform Fees are charged on a calendar quarter basis in advance and prorated to the end of the quarter upon inception of the account. The Platform Fee generally includes services composed of Investor profiling assistance, asset allocation assistance, style allocation assistance, research and evaluation of investment Strategies and Funds, investment consulting services, account performance calculations, account reporting, billing administration, and other operational and administrative services. The services associated with accessing Investment Manager Strategies and either implementing them in an Investor account, in the case of a Model, or administering them, in the case of a Discretionary Strategy, are also included in the Platform Fee. The cost of investment advisory services provided through FMAX Essentials may be more or less than the cost of purchasing similar services separately or through other Fidelity platforms, including FMAX. FIWA has the authority to negotiate its standard fees with Intermediaries and may waive fees at its discretion at any time. Services Not Included in Platform Fee Tax and Values Overlay services (described above in “Advisory Business”) are provided to Intermediaries for an additional fee ranging from .05% to 0.10% annually based on the Investor’s account value, which is applied to the Investor’s whole account, and it applies when Tax Overlay services, Values Overlay services, or a combination of services are provided to an account. The Tax Overlay services may be subject to a minimum annual dollar fee. Tax and Values Overlay Fees can be charged directly to the Investor’s account or to the Intermediary as elected by the Intermediary. Fees for Tax and Values Overlay Services may be waived by FIWA in certain circumstances. Reporting only services are provided for an additional fee. FIWA charges a per account fee to Intermediaries that elect to use FMAX Essential’s standalone reporting only service (described above in “Advisory Business”). The standard fee for reporting only services is $25 annually per Investor account. Certain fees applied to Investor accounts may be assessed separately from the Platform Fee (as described more fully below in the section entitled “Other Issues Relating to Fees”). Other Issues Relating to Fees The Platform Fee does not cover certain charges associated with securities transactions in the Investors’ accounts, including (i) dealer markups, markdowns, or spreads charged on transactions in over-the-counter securities; (ii) costs relating to trading in certain foreign securities; (iii) the internal charges and fees imposed by any Funds (such as fund operating expenses, management fees, redemption fees, 12b-1 fees, and other fees and expenses; further information regarding charges and fees assessed by Funds can be found in the appropriate prospectus) or other regulatory fees; (iv) brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by broker-dealers or entities other than Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”) or NFS if and when trades are executed by another broker-dealer; (v) postage and handling charges, returned check charges, transfer taxes, stock exchange fees, or other fees mandated 13 by law; (vi) ACAT transfer, electronic fund and wire transfer charges; (vii) individual retirement account (“IRA”) trustee or custodian fees and tax-qualified retirement plan annual account fees and annual and termination fees for retirement accounts (such as IRAs); (viii) any brokerage commissions or other charges, including contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”), imposed upon the liquidation of “in-kind assets” that are transferred into the Platform; (ix) margin interest or other fees associated with margin provided by NFS; and (x) as applicable, per trade clearance and execution charges should annual trading caps be exceeded within an account. Affiliates of FIWA, including NFS and FBS, may receive distribution and shareholder servicing revenue as a result of investments in Funds in Investor accounts, and to the extent that this revenue varies based on the share class selected, FIWA has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the variations in such revenue. In some cases, fees for certain Funds or share classes are higher than others. Affiliates of FIWA earn additional fees when Investor assets are invested in products from which FIWA affiliates receive a share of revenue, as opposed to when Investor assets are invested in investment products that do not share revenue. As noted above, the Strategies and Funds available through FMAX Essentials are limited to Strategies and Funds for which FIWA or an affiliate is the issuer, sponsor, or investment adviser, and Strategies and Funds provided by third party Investment Managers for which FIWA or its affiliates are compensated for distribution or servicing of such Strategies and Funds. FIWA does not exercise trading discretion or share class selection authority with respect to any Investor account on the Platform as these functions are performed by the discretionary Investment Managers or the Implementation Manager, as applicable. In general, when retaining Investment Managers in the FMAX Essentials FSP Program, FMAX Essentials SMA Program, and the UMA Programs, FIWA requires that such Investment Managers create Models composed of institutional class shares that do not make 12b-1 payments to fund distributors (including FIWA’s affiliates) or other distribution revenue-paying share classes unless such share classes are not available for a given Fund or Investor. In the agreement FIWA maintains with each Intermediary, the Intermediary acknowledges that it is solely responsible for determining that the mutual fund share classes selected are in each Investor’s best interest and for monitoring that each share class remain in the Investor’s best interest. An Investor will incur redemption fees when the Investment Manager to a Strategy determines that it is in the Investor’s overall interest, in conjunction with the stated goals of the investment strategy, to divest from certain Funds prior to the expiration of the minimum holding period of the Funds. Some mutual funds also assess redemption fees to Investors upon the short-term sale of its funds. Depending on the particular mutual fund, this may include sales for rebalancing purposes. Please see the prospectus for the specific mutual fund for detailed information regarding such fees. To the extent that such fees are incurred, they are borne by the Investor. In connection with an Investor’s investment in an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”), the Investor could incur additional expenses and fees that are not included in the Investor fees. For example, ADRs could be subject to dividend withholding taxes from the country of origin, which are an additional expense and reduce the dividend paid to the Investor. The Investor, or 14 FIWA’s affiliate, as custodian, is responsible for filing the appropriate forms/filings in the foreign country to reclaim any dividend withholding. In addition, paying agents who process ADR dividend payments to an Investor will assess a fee for their services, which also reduces the dividend paid to the Investor. FIWA receives installation and maintenance fees from Investment Managers for installing and maintaining their models and/or portfolios on the FMAX Essentials Platform. Termination The FMAX Essentials agreement contains the terms and conditions for termination. Generally, FIWA or the Intermediary may terminate an agreement for any reason upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other party or such other shorter time period as may be mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT FIWA does not charge any performance-based fees based on a share of capital gains on, or capital appreciation of, the assets of an Investor. Certain of FIWA’s (in the case of Fidelity Institutional Custom SMAs where FIWA’s affiliate, FMR, is sub-adviser) or its affiliates’ discretionary accounts may, for unrelated reasons, invest in Funds or securities that are also included in Strategies available on the Platform from time to time, including those Strategies that are provided on a model-basis by FIWA. FIWA’s affiliates may have commenced trading before the Implementation Manager or discretionary Investment Managers act upon updates to Strategies. As a result, in certain circumstances, Investors that are using the Strategies could experience price differentials that may result from FIWA’s affiliates placing similar, and possible larger, orders for their discretionary clients, which could result in different prices for the Funds or securities in the Strategies. Further, while FIWA’s affiliates generally take reasonable steps to minimize the market impact caused by their discretionary management, FIWA and its affiliates have no such control over the Implementation Manager’s and discretionary Investment Managers’ trading of Funds or securities contained in Strategies. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), FIWA owes a fiduciary duty to its Intermediary clients, consisting of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty. Although the application of FIWA’s fiduciary duty may be shaped by agreement with Intermediaries, this duty cannot, unless specifically set forth in statute, be waived by contract or practice. Accordingly, investment management agreements with FIWA that include an express limitation of FIWA’s liability for acts of gross negligence, negligence, or similar standards are not applicable to FIWA’s federal fiduciary duty owed to the Intermediary. Intermediaries will have the right to seek redress against FIWA for such non-waivable fiduciary violations in addition to other rights the Intermediary may have under state and federal law. 15 TYPES OF CLIENTS FMAX Essentials is designed to provide Intermediaries with an investment advisory platform, which they can use to provide wealth management solutions directly to their Investors (e.g., individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, charitable institutions, foundations, and endowments). METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS Methods of Analysis The Platform provides Intermediaries with a variety of portfolio construction methods utilizing an analytics module to blend a solution that aligns with the Investor’s risk tolerance and investment objective. For asset allocation and portfolio construction, the Platform uses internally developed and third-party analytical tools and commercially available optimization software applications. These tools use capital markets assumptions and valuation methods to estimate the expected returns for asset classes. This process results in the construction of diversified portfolios across a wide set of risk tolerances and preferences that can be employed by the Intermediary. The Intermediary can use the Platform research tools and other functionality to screen and evaluate FSPs, SMAs, and Funds based on its preferences and associated investment data variables. The results of any sorting or screening functionality available through FMAX Essentials are for the Intermediary’s informational purposes only and do not constitute tax, legal or investment advice or a recommendation by FIWA of any particular investment, manager, or Strategy. When using any Platform research tools and other functionality, the Intermediary is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of any Strategy or Fund for use with an Investor. In assisting the Intermediary with its development of an asset allocation and portfolio for the Investor, FMAX Essentials uses demographic and financial information provided by the Investor and the Intermediary to assess the Investor’s risk profile and investment objectives. Investment Research and Due Diligence FMAX Essentials provides investment research and due diligence on FSPs, SMAs, and Funds to Intermediaries using four categories of investment research ratings (which may also be referred to as research statuses): “Does Not Meet,” “Meets-Quantitative,” “Meets-Qualitative,” and “Preferred.” For FSPs, SMAs, and Funds rated Does Not Meet, the FSPs, SMAs, and Funds did not pass the review criteria to be rated Meets-Quantitative, Meets-Qualitative, or Preferred. On FMAX Essentials, strategies rated Does Not Meet are categorized as “Available." FSPs, SMAs, and Funds that have not gone through the FIWA investment due diligence process are identified as “Not Rated” on FMAX Essentials. See below for additional details on the Meets-Quantitative, Meets-Qualitative, and Preferred ratings. The Intermediaries make their own determinations as to whether to utilize Investment Manager research and due diligence and are solely responsible for determining if they have sufficient 16 information on any investment or Strategy they recommend to Investors through the Proposal. FIWA does not recommend any particular investment or strategy for any Investor. Research ratings may change without notice. The Intermediary is responsible for monitoring changes in research ratings within the Platform. FIWA maintains fundamental and quantitative research teams (“FIWA Research Team”) to perform the investment research and due diligence for the Platform. Although different investment solutions demand unique due diligence requirements, FIWA’s evaluations follow a common four pillar structure as described in more detail below. This investment research and due diligence process is not applicable to the underlying holdings of SMAs. Each time the term “Meets” is used below, it is applicable to both the Meets-Quantitative and Meets-Qualitative ratings, unless otherwise specified. While FIWA categorizes certain FSPs, SMAs, and Funds as Meets or Preferred, these designations suggest that the Investment Manager has met the criteria required by FIWA’s assessments and is not an endorsement of the quality or capability of any particular Investment Manager, or a statement of the likelihood of investment success in any future period. The Intermediary is responsible for determining whether any particular FSP, SMA, or Fund is appropriate and suitable for use with a particular Investor. Due Diligence Process Overview Generally, for most actively and passively managed Funds, FSPs, and SMAs available on the Platform, a quantitative rating process is performed to determine if the Fund, FSP or SMA meets the criteria for a Meets-Quantitative rating. The quantitative rating process is performed at least quarterly. A separate qualitative due diligence process is conducted on a select group of SMAs, Funds, and FSPs to provide deeper coverage and to determine if a Meets-Qualitative or Preferred rating should be applied. The qualitative rating process is performed at least annually. When combined, these processes result in the list of Meets and Preferred SMAs, Funds, and FSPs. Both the quantitative and qualitative processes follow a common structure of assessing four major pillars of analysis: performance, cost, style alignment, and people and process consistency. Meets-Quantitative The quantitative evaluation consists of separate processes to evaluate actively managed Funds, passively managed Funds, FSPs, and SMAs. While the processes vary slightly with regards to review and acceptance criteria (e.g., peer relative performance versus tracking error, excess return thresholds, etc.), the processes rely on an evaluation of historical outcomes and follow the common four pillar review structure noted above. The Funds, FSPs, and SMAs that pass all four pillar criteria are added to the Meets-Quantitative universe. Funds, FSPs, and SMAs that do not pass all four pillar criteria set by the FIWA Research Team are removed from the Meets-Quantitative list and revert to the Available list. Meets-Qualitative For Meets-Qualitative SMAs, Funds, and FSPs, FIWA employs a multiphase approach in its evaluation. As part of the due diligence, certain types of information are analyzed such as historical performance, investment philosophy, investment style, historical volatility, investment 17 team, and cost. Also reviewed are portfolio holdings reports that help demonstrate the Investment Manager’s securities selection process. FIWA evaluates Investment Managers specializing in each of the asset categories listed, including equities (both domestic and foreign), corporate debt, municipal securities, real estate investment trusts, registered alternative investments, and government securities. Through this analysis, the FIWA Research Team makes a determination of the FSPs, SMAs, or Funds that receive the status of Meets- Qualitative. Preferred Preferred SMAs, Funds and FSPs have FIWA’s highest conviction and are comprised of a subset of Meets-Qualitative SMAs, Funds, and FSPs. For Preferred SMAs, Funds and FSPs, the FIWA Research Team completes the due diligence process mentioned above for Meets- Qualitative. In addition, the FIWA Research Team conducts a quarterly touchpoint with one or more members of the product’s investment team. The FIWA Research Team seeks to understand the drivers of differentiation that allow these investment options to stand out across the four pillars of research. SMAs, Funds and FSPs sponsored by Investment Managers that Fidelity has deemed not to be in good standing on Fidelity FundsNetwork, one of Fidelity’s platforms for unaffiliated products, due to insufficient shareholder servicing compensation are not eligible for consideration for a “Preferred” research rating but are eligible to receive a Meets-Quantitative or Meets-Qualitative research rating. Pending Attribute FSPs, SMAs, or Funds can be assigned a ‘Pending’ portfolio attribute if they have experienced a significant event, including, but not limited to, changes in key investment personnel, material changes in the investment process, material outperformance or underperformance, or regulatory concerns. These FSPs, SMAs, or Funds are subject to ongoing monitoring and review to determine if the FIWA Research Team should assign a higher or lower rating based on the significant event. In addition, the ‘Pending’ portfolio attribute may be used in cases where FSPs, SMAs, or Funds are still in the process of being evaluated by Fundamental Analysts but have not yet been assigned a rating due to timing or lack of available information. Additional Information The investment professionals at the Investment Managers are an important source of information for the due diligence process, providing quantitative and qualitative information. In addition, FIWA and its service providers utilize publicly available databases from independent sources to verify the information provided by the Investment Managers. As noted above, FIWA provides investment research and due diligence in the form of research notes and ratings on FSPs, SMAs, and Funds within the Platform. In certain cases, FIWA charges a fee to Intermediaries for such services. FIWA also provides its research and ratings to other affiliates and unaffiliated investment managers and financial institutions. Ratings and research may be made available at different times to such users and is prepared without taking into consideration any Investor’s specific facts and circumstances. We may also provide customized research or ratings upon request. 18 Treatment of FIWA-Affiliated Products, Exceptions and Conflict of Interests The FIWA Research Team may make exceptions to allow certain FSPs, SMAs or Funds to be assigned a Meets or Preferred rating. For these exceptions, the FIWA Research Team uses qualitative and quantitative tools to make a determination that the FSP, SMA or Fund otherwise warrants a Meets or Preferred rating or to maintain a Meets or Preferred rating. For example, an SMA may not have a track record of sufficient length as determined by the FIWA Research Team, but the Investment Manager’s results through other vehicles or a composite track record may enable that SMA to be assigned a Meets or Preferred rating. The FIWA Research Team approves or disapproves all exceptions and can assign or change a rating at its sole discretion. FSPs, SMAs or Funds provided on the Platform by FIWA and its affiliates are subject to the same investment research and due diligence or exception processes described above to determine the FIWA Research Team’s rating. However, given FIWA’s ability to gather more data and achieve greater insight into the FSPs, SMAs or Funds provided by FIWA and its affiliates, in certain circumstances FIWA will adjust its diligence process when assessing proprietary and affiliated products and/or apply different qualification criteria to such products for Meets-Qualitative or Preferred ratings based on the judgement of the FIWA Research Team. Certain unaffiliated Investment Managers or their affiliates providing FSPs, SMAs and Funds to the Platform are invited to participate in access, engagement, and analytics programs established by FBS and NFS. This arrangement may be separate from or in addition to payments made to FIWA or its affiliates to be included in the FMAX Essentials program. Participation in this program was considered when deciding which FSPs and SMAs to include on FMAX Essentials and therefore which products will be evaluated and ultimately rated by FIWA. FIWA does not rate all possible FSPs, SMAs and Funds that are on FMAX Essentials or that could possibly be covered by FMAX Essentials and determines, in its sole discretion, which such products will be rated. FIWA determines which such products to include in the investment universe subject to its ratings process through a combination of Intermediary demand and as described above. FIWA may be incentivized to rate products that are affiliated or which may provide compensation to FIWA and its affiliates. However, all FSPs, SMAs and Funds provided by these Investment Managers are subject to the same investment research and due diligence or exception processes described above to determine the FIWA Research Team’s rating. Any due diligence completed by FIWA should be used in conjunction with the Intermediary’s existing research and as a supplement to any existing due diligence that an Intermediary or its firm may already have in place. Investment Strategies The Platform provides Intermediaries with access to a large variety of Strategies and Funds as a core tenet of its capability. While many different investment Strategies and Funds can be selected, the Platform provides Intermediaries with the ability to utilize its technology to assess portfolios holistically and across multiple Advisory Programs and registrations, allowing the Intermediary to make a household assessment of their Investors’ needs. This analytical 19 capability allows Intermediaries to consider multiple options for investment Strategies and Funds as they seek to match their Investors’ needs with the features and benefits of each program. Material Investment Risk and Risk of Loss Investments held in Investor accounts on the Platform are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other governmental agency. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An investment may be risky and may not be suitable for an Investor’s goals, objectives and risk tolerance. An investment's value may be volatile and any investment involves the risk that you may lose money. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. There is no guarantee that the use of Strategies and Funds available on FMAX Essentials will achieve any particular result. Investment performance of Strategies available on FMAX Essentials depends on the performance of the underlying investment options and on the proportion of the assets invested in each underlying investment option over time. The performance of these investments will vary day to day in response to many factors. Asset allocation strategies are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of the underlying investment options' asset class. Investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. Generally, among asset classes stocks are more volatile than bonds or short‐term instruments and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Although the bond market is also volatile, lower‐quality debt securities including leveraged loans generally offer higher yields compared to investment grade securities, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes. Foreign markets can be more volatile than U.S. markets due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, market or economic developments, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. Many factors affect investment performance. Strategies that pursue investments in equities will be subject to stock market volatility, and strategies that pursue fixed income investments (such as bond or money market funds) will see values fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as war, acts of terrorism, economic sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions or other events may magnify factors that affect performance. In addition, some countries experience very low or negative interest rates, from time to time, which can magnify interest rate risk for the markets as a whole and for individual bond investments. All strategies are ultimately affected by impacts to the individual issuers, such as changes in an issuer’s credit quality, or changes in tax, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Non- diversified funds, SMAs, and accounts that invest in a smaller number of individual issuers can 20 be more sensitive to these changes. Nearly all investments or accounts are subject to volatility in non-U.S. markets, either through direct exposure or indirect effects in U.S. markets from events abroad, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and in the case of less-developed markets, currency liquidity. Those investments and accounts that are exposed to emerging markets are potentially subject to heightened volatility from greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties, as the extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization, and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Additionally, investments or accounts that pursue debt exposure are subject to risks of prepayment or default. Strategies that lead Funds, SMAs, or accounts to invest in other Funds bear all the risks inherent in the underlying investments in which those Funds invest, and strategies that pursue leveraged risk, including investment in derivatives, such as swaps (interest rate, total return, and credit default), and futures contracts and forward-settling securities, magnify market exposure and losses. Additionally, investments and accounts are subject to operational risks, which can include risk of loss arising from failures in internal processes, people, or systems, such as routine processing errors or major systems failures, or from external events, such as exchange outages. The Platform seeks Investment Managers and Funds with a variety of investment strategies in an effort to make a wide range of investment strategies available to Intermediaries for use with their Investors. Some strategies may be high-risk strategies. Such strategies have the potential for substantial returns; however, there are correspondingly significant risks involved in the strategies and they are not intended for all types of Investors. Investors who choose to follow high-risk strategies should be aware that there is the possibility of significant losses up to and including the possibility of the loss of all assets placed in the strategies. It is strongly recommended that Investors diversify their investments and do not place all their investments in high-risk investment strategies. Certain ETPs utilize leverage. The use of leverage by an ETP increases the risk to the portfolio. The more a portfolio invests in leveraged instruments, the more the leverage will magnify gains or losses on those investments. Due to the complexity and structure of these portfolios, they may not perform over time in direct or inverse correlation to their underlying index. Please see the mutual fund and ETP prospectuses, applicable Form ADV Part 2A brochures and/or related offering documents for more details on risks. In addition to the risks noted above, the following risks apply to certain Strategies or Funds available through the FMAX Essentials Platform: Concentration Risk Certain strategies may invest in a limited number of securities, industries, or sectors. This lack of diversification may increase industry or sector specific risks and increase volatility and risk of loss compared to more diversified portfolios. Accounts that employ equity and fixed income stand-alone strategies are expected to have increased risk and volatility as compared with 21 accounts that hold a mixture of equities and fixed income investments. Model Overlay Risks There are risks associated with Model implementation for Model-traded FMAX Essentials accounts. The implementation of a Model in an Investor’s account relies on the Implementation Manager’s ability to purchase the investments in the Model Provider’s portfolio recommendations. This may not be possible due to liquidity constraints or aggregate holdings limitations, among other reasons. This could result in deviation of performance between the Model and the Investor’s accounts. Liquidity Risk Investing in certain types of securities that are thinly traded, or investing in bonds, ETPs, or mutual funds that invest in thinly traded securities, introduces liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is a financial risk that, for a certain period of time, a security or commodity cannot be readily traded in the market or cannot be traded without a significant discount to the market price. All tradable assets assume some level of liquidity risk. For example, alternative mutual funds and ETPs may use techniques such as shorting of securities, leverage, and derivatives, all of which may have liquidity risks if there are no buyers and sellers available or if a counterparty cannot fulfill the order. Illiquid securities sometimes trade infrequently in the secondary market and may be subject to liquidity windows. As a result, valuing an illiquid security can be more difficult, and buying and selling an illiquid security at an acceptable price can be more difficult or delayed. Difficulty in selling an illiquid security can result in a loss. The relative liquidity of any investment, particularly those that trade on exchanges, can vary, at times significantly. Investing in Mutual Funds and ETPs Investors bear all the risks of the investment strategies employed by the Funds held in the Platform, including the risk that a mutual fund or ETP will not meet its investment objectives. For the specific risks associated with a mutual fund or ETP, please see its prospectus. ETPs An ETP is a security that trades on an exchange and can seek to track an index, a commodity, or a basket of assets. ETPs can be actively or passively managed. The performance of a passively managed ETP might not correlate with the performance of the asset it seeks to track. ETPs trade on secondary markets or exchanges and are exposed to market volatility and the risks of the ETP’s underlying securities. ETP share trading can be halted, or the security could cease to trade on an exchange. Trading volume and liquidity can vary and could affect the ability to buy or sell ETP shares or could cause the market price of shares to experience significant premiums or discounts relative to the value of the assets underlying the shares. Because ETPs trade on exchanges, buyers and sellers experience a spread between the bidding price and the asking price, and the size of these spreads can vary significantly. For the specific risks associated with an ETP, please see its prospectus or other offering documentation. 22 Money Market Funds An Investor could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of an Investor’s investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Fidelity, the sponsor of Fidelity’s money market funds, is not required to reimburse money market funds for losses, and an Investor should not expect that Fidelity will provide financial support to a Fidelity money market fund at any time, including during periods of market stress. Fidelity’s government and U.S. Treasury money market funds will not impose a fee upon the sale of an Investor’s shares. Quantitative Investing Funds or securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole due to the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, changes to the factors’ behavior over time, market volatility, or the quantitative Model’s assumption about market behavior. In addition, quantitative investment strategies rely on algorithmic processes, and therefore are subject to the risks described below under the heading, “Operational Risks.” Growth Investing Growth stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stocks. As a result, growth stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks. Value Investing Value stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stocks. However, value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and, as a result, might never realize their full expected value. Bond Investments In general, the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. The ability of an issuer of a bond to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can cause greater price volatility, and, if a bond is prepaid, a bond fund could have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk as well as credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The interest payments of inflation-protected bonds are variable and usually rise with inflation and fall with deflation. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so holding them until maturity to avoid losses caused by price volatility is not possible. In addition, investments in certain bond structures may be less liquid than other investments, and therefore may be more difficult to trade effectively. Tax and Values Overlay Services The application of an overlay to an investment strategy can cause the investment performance of a customized strategy to deviate from a selected pre-customized investment strategy. Investors 23 should carefully review the Tax and Values Overlay services with their Intermediary to determine if the use of the Tax and Values Overlay services are appropriate for the Investor. In providing the Tax Overlay services, the Implementation Manager may affect transactions in the Investor account even though such transactions may generate tax liabilities, including short-term taxable income. In addition, the Implementation Manager may manage the Investor account using tools and processes which may result in Investor trades being executed at a different time or in a different manner than other trades made by the Implementation Manager, including the potential to not participate in the Implementation Manager’s standard trade rotation processes. The Tax Overlay services do not guarantee that tax liability in the Investor account will be reduced, and the ability to harvest losses is dependent on portfolio circumstances and market environment. The application of a Values Overlay to an investment strategy will reduce the universe of investment solutions available, will cause the investment performance of this customized strategy to deviate from the pre-restricted investment strategy and may have a positive or negative effect on investment performance. Please note, if the Implementation Manager determines that the tax or values information provided is too restrictive and impinges on its ability to effectively manage the account, Implementation Manager reserves the right to classify account as ‘Not In Good Order’. In such circumstances, accounts may not be able to be traded until the ‘Not In Good Order’ is resolved. Credit Risk Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, and changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s credit quality or value. Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Municipal Bonds The municipal market can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities. Municipal bond funds normally seek to earn income and pay dividends that are expected to be exempt from federal income tax. If an Investor is a resident in the state of issuance of the bonds held by the Fund, interest dividends could also be exempt from state and local income taxes. Income exempt from regular federal income tax (including distributions from municipal and money market funds) can be subject to state, local, or federal alternative minimum tax. Certain funds normally seek to invest only in municipal securities generating income exempt from both federal income taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax; however, outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and the funds sometimes generate income subject to these taxes. For federal tax purposes, a fund’s distribution of gains attributable to a fund’s sale of municipal or other bonds is generally taxable as either ordinary income or long-term capital gains. Redemptions, including exchanges, can result in a capital gain or loss for federal and/or state income tax purposes. Tax code changes could impact the municipal bond market. Tax laws are subject to change, and the preferential tax treatment of municipal bond interest income could be removed or phased out for Investors at certain income levels. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. 24 Budgetary constraints of local, state, and federal governments on which the issuers are relying for funding can also impact municipal bonds. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions can directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal bonds. Foreign Exposure Investing in foreign securities and securities of U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, tax, operational or regulatory and political risks, all of which are likely to be greater in emerging markets. These risks are particularly significant for investment strategies that focus on a single country or region or emerging markets, or for Investors who elect to increase foreign stock exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than U.S. markets and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates can also be extremely volatile. Foreign markets can also offer less protection to Investors than U.S. markets. For example, foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers might not be available, and it could be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. Regulatory enforcement can be influenced by economic or political concerns, and Investors could have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries. Foreign governments may decide to seize or confiscate securities held by foreign investors or assets held by foreign issuers, restrict an investor's ability to sell or redeem securities, suspend or limit an issuer's ability to make dividend or interest payments, and/or limit or entirely restrict repatriation of invested capital, profits, and dividends. Furthermore, investments in securities of foreign entities can result in clients owning an interest in a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”). Investors holding an interest in a PFIC could be subject to additional tax liabilities and filing requirements as a result of such investments. The rules regarding investments in PFICs are complex, and Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors. Risks of Investing in American Depositary Receipts American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of an underlying foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market in the U.S. or elsewhere. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. The depositary bank can charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest, and for corporate actions. In addition, certain ADRs are not traded on a national securities exchange, can be less liquid than other investments, and could therefore be more difficult to trade effectively. Investing in ADRs can make it more difficult for U.S. persons to benefit from applicable treaty rates that could otherwise reduce withholding on any distributions from the underlying foreign issuer. Recovery of any extra foreign tax withheld can be costly and complex, and recovery might not be available for certain registration types such as individual retirement accounts. 25 Derivatives Certain Strategies and Funds available on the Platform contain derivatives. Generally speaking, a derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on the value of a financial asset (such as a stock, bond, or currency), a physical asset (such as gold, oil, or wheat), or a market index (such as the S&P 500® Index). Investments in derivatives may result in different risks from, and possibly greater than, those of the underlying securities, assets, or market indexes. Derivatives could experience losses if the underlying securities, assets, or market indexes do not perform as anticipated, and changes in the value of a derivative might not correlate as anticipated with the underlying securities, assets, or market indexes, thereby reducing their effectiveness. Some derivatives may involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. As a result, the use of derivatives may be more volatile than a direct investment in the underlying financial asset, because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the position. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly, and a small change in the underlying security, asset, or market index can lead to significant losses. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Derivative investments are subject to credit risks associated with the issuer of, or counterparty to, the derivative investment. Alternative Investments Alternative investments are classified as assets whose investment characteristics and/or performance differ substantially from the primary asset classes (stocks, bonds, and other short- term investments) and therefore offer opportunities for additional diversification and returns, but that also offer increased volatility and risk of loss due to their nontraditional or complex investment strategies. Unregistered privately offered alternative investment vehicles include private equity, private real assets, private credit, and hedge funds, or similar investments (referred to as “private funds”). The performance of alternative investments can be volatile and private funds may have extremely limited liquidity opportunities. Such investments often have concentrated positions, invest in illiquid investments, and may carry higher risks. Investors should understand that some alternative investment products often engage in leverage and other speculative investment practices, including the use of derivatives (described above), that can magnify the risk of investment loss and volatility regardless of whether they are used for speculative investment purposes or for the hedging of risk. In addition, private funds require that investors transact at a price determined by a complex valuation process that may differ substantially across strategies and involve significant judgement by the manager. Please refer to the applicable private fund’s offering documents for additional information on the alternative investment and its related risks. Alternative Investments may present Investors with additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) longer term investment periods; (ii) limited or prohibited transferability of interests; (iii) limited operating histories; (iv) lack of diversification except as set forth in the investment’s offering documents; (v) portfolio allocations may depart significantly from target asset allocations; (vi) limited liquidity; and (vii) valuation risk, whereby potential discrepancies arise between the stated and true value of an Alternative Investment’s underlying investments. 26 Real Estate Real estate is a cyclical industry that is sensitive to interest rates, economic conditions (both nationally and locally), property tax rates, and other factors. Changes in real estate values or economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry. Commodity-Linked Investing Commodity-linked investments can be leveraged and can be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures. The performance of commodity-linked investments can be affected by the performance of individual commodities and the overall commodities markets, as well as by weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. A commodity-linked investment is subject to credit risks associated with the issuer of, or counterparty to, the commodity-linked investment. The commodities industries can be significantly affected by the level and volatility of commodity prices; the rate of commodity consumption; world events including international monetary and political developments; import controls, export controls, and worldwide competition; exploration and production spending; and tax and other government regulations and economic conditions. Currency Exposure Certain funds and ETPs can be exposed to foreign currencies and, as a result, could experience losses based solely on the relative strength or weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency transactions tied to emerging markets can present market, credit, liquidity, legal, political, and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of currency transactions tied to developed foreign countries. Portfolio Turnover Risk Certain strategies engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased capital gains, including short-term capital gains that are generally taxable as ordinary income. The effects of higher portfolio turnover may adversely affect Account performance. Legislative and Regulatory Risk Investments could be adversely affected by new (or revised) laws or regulations. Changes to laws or regulations could impact the securities markets as a whole, specific industries, or individual issuers of securities. Generally, the impact of these changes will not be fully known for some time. Sustainable Strategies Risk Investing based on sustainability factors may cause an account to forgo certain investment opportunities available to accounts that do not use such criteria. Because of the subjective nature of sustainable investing, there can be no guarantee that criteria used by FIWA or a third-party, as applicable, in its sustainable strategies will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular account. Additionally, FIWA relies upon information and data obtained through third-party reporting, which, if incomplete or inaccurate, could result in FIWA imprecisely evaluating an issuer’s practices with respect to material sustainability factors. 27 Cybersecurity Risks With the increased use of technologies to conduct business, FIWA and its affiliates are susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. These risks could include events that are wholly or partially beyond our control and may have a negative effect on our ability to conduct business activities. We believe that we have taken reasonable steps to mitigate these risks, but do not believe that we can eliminate them altogether. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events that can arise from external or internal sources. The increasing sophistication and accessibility of technology, including tools leveraging artificial intelligence, can be exploited by malicious actors to enhance the scale and impact of cyber-attacks. Cyberattacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information; corrupting data, equipment, or systems; and causing operational disruption. Cyberattacks can also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber incidents affecting FIWA, its affiliates, or any other service providers (including but not limited to accountants, custodians, transfer agents, and financial intermediaries used by Fidelity or by an issuer of securities) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the ability to calculate asset prices, impediments to trading, the inability to transact business, destruction to equipment and systems, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting issuers of securities in which an account invests, counterparties with which an account engages in transactions, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies and other financial institutions (including financial intermediaries and service providers) and other parties. Alternative Mutual Funds Risks that may be associated with registered alternative mutual funds include, (i) leverage: leverage may enhance a fund’s returns in up markets but exacerbate returns in a bad market. Some Investment Managers with leverage inherent in their portfolios may experience “margin call” types of actions in the event of liquidity dry-ups or if certain counterparties cannot provide the leverage needed; (ii) shorting: certain securities may be difficult to sell short at the price that the Investment Manager would prefer to execute a trade. A short position may have the possibility of an infinite loss if a security continues to go up in price and the manager does not cover; (iii) security valuation: certain securities held in alternative mutual funds, such as derivatives or thinly traded stocks, bonds, or swaps, may not have a market to permit the Investment Manager to trade it quickly in case of fund redemptions. High bid/ask spreads or the lack of another buyer/seller to take the opposite position of a thinly traded security could cause inaccurate estimates in underlying security valuation by the administrator; and (iv) nightly reconciliation: the use of thinly traded securities, shorting and leverage may make it difficult for some alternative funds, based on their investment strategy, to provide accurate nightly Net Asset Values (“NAVs”) for the mutual fund. Limited liquidity and illiquid registered alternative mutual funds are subject to additional risks. 28 These funds cannot be redeemed outside of the designated liquidity window. Although the funds can implement a periodic share repurchase program, there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to redeem all of the shares that the investor desires to sell. These funds are designed primarily for long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. The funds can invest in or hold instruments that are illiquid (generally, those securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the value at which the fund has valued the securities). For the specific risks associated with these funds, please see the funds’ prospectus. Valuation Risk The NAV of a fund on a particular date may differ from the NAV that would be realized if the fund’s assets were liquidated as of such date. Volatile market conditions could result in limited market liquidity, which may result in lower liquidation values of a fund’s assets than the values of such assets as calculated in a fund’s NAV. Operational Risks Operational risks include risks of loss arising from failures in internal processes, people, or systems, such as routine processing incidents or major systems failures, or from external events, such as exchange outages. For example, computer, communications, data processing, networks, backup, business continuity or other operating, information or technology systems, including those FIWA outsources to other providers, may fail to operate properly or become disabled, overloaded or damaged as a result of a number of factors. These factors could include events that are wholly or partially beyond FIWA’s control and may have a negative impact on our ability to conduct business activities. Though losses arising from operating, information or technology systems failures could adversely affect an Investor account’s performance, such losses would likely not be reimbursable under FIWA’s policies. Algorithms can be used by FIWA and its affiliates and Investment Managers or the Implementation Manager and contribute to operational risks. There is a risk that the data input into the algorithms could have errors, omissions, or imperfections, or that the algorithms do not operate as intended. Any decisions made in reliance on incorrect data or algorithms that do not operate as intended can expose Investors to potential risks. Issues in the algorithm are often extremely difficult to detect and can go undetected for long periods of time or never be detected. These risks are mitigated by testing and human oversight of the algorithms and their output. FIWA believes that the oversight, testing, and monitoring performed on algorithms and their output will enable the parties described above to identify and address issues appropriately. However, there is no assurance that the algorithms will always work as intended. In general, we will not assess each Investor’s account individually, nor will there be a process to override the outcome of the algorithm with respect to any particular account. Errors Not all incidents arising from operational failures, including those resulting from the mistakes of third parties, will be compensable by FIWA. FIWA maintains policies and procedures that address the identification and correction of errors, consistent with applicable standard of care, to ensure that Intermediaries and Investors are treated fairly when an error has been detected. 29 FIWA seeks to identify errors and works with appropriate parties to correct the error affecting any Investor account as quickly as is reasonably possible. The determination of whether an incident constitutes an error is made by FIWA or its affiliates, in their sole discretion. FIWA will evaluate each situation independently, and unless prohibited by applicable law, we can net an Investor’s gains and losses from the error or a series of related errors with the same root cause and compensate Investors for the net loss. This corrective action can result in financial or other restitution to the account, or inadvertent gains being reversed out of the account. FIWA’s policy and practice is to identify and resolve any trade errors promptly and document each trade error. In the case of errors due to the inaction or actions of others (e.g., Intermediary, Investment Managers, etc.), FIWA helps facilitate the error correction process in an effort to ensure that Investors are treated fairly when an error has been detected. DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to an Intermediary’s or prospective Intermediary’s evaluation of the Platform’s advisory business or the integrity of its management personnel.

These Codes of Ethics will operate independently of one another. The relevant provisions of the Code of Ethics for FIWA are described below. The Code of Ethics for the Implementation Manager and each Investment Manager can be obtained from the respective entity. FIWA has adopted a Code of Ethics for Personal Trading (the “Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics applies to officers, directors, employees (including certain contractors), and other supervised persons of FIWA and requires that they place the interests of clients above their own. The Code of Ethics establishes securities transaction requirements for all covered employees and their covered persons, including their spouses. More specifically, the Code of Ethics contains provisions requiring the following: • Standards of general business conduct reflecting the investment advisers’ fiduciary obligations; • Compliance with applicable federal securities laws; • Employees and their covered persons move their covered accounts to FBS unless an exception exists or prior approval is obtained; • Reporting and review of personal securities transactions and holdings for persons with access to certain nonpublic information; • Prohibition of purchasing securities in initial public offerings unless an exception has been approved; • Reporting of Code of Ethics violations; and • Distribution of the Code of Ethics to all supervised persons, documented through acknowledgments of receipt. Core features of the Code of Ethics generally apply to all Fidelity employees. The Code of Ethics also imposes additional restrictions and reporting obligations on certain advisory personnel, research analysts, and portfolio managers. Such restrictions and reporting obligations include (i) the preclearing of transactions in covered securities with limited exceptions, (ii) a prohibition on investments in limited offerings without prior approval, (iii) a prohibition on personal trading by a portfolio manager within seven days before or after a trade in any covered security of the same issuer by a fund or account managed by such portfolio manager except in limited circumstances, (iv) the reporting of transactions in covered securities on a quarterly basis with limited exceptions, (v) the reporting of securities accounts and holdings of covered securities at the time of hire and annually thereafter, (vi) restricts the selling short of a covered security, and (vii) the disgorgement of profits from short-term transactions with limited exceptions. Violation of the Code of Ethics requirements can also result in the imposition of remedial action. The Code of Ethics will generally be supplemented by other relevant Fidelity policies, including the Policy on Inside Information, Rules for Broker- Dealer Employees, and other written policies and procedures adopted by Fidelity and FIWA. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided on request. 35 From time to time, Fidelity personnel can buy or sell securities for themselves and also recommend those securities to clients. The conflicts of interest involved in such activities are contemplated in the Code of Ethics and other relevant Fidelity policies. In particular, the Code of Ethics and other Fidelity policies are designed to make it clear to Fidelity personnel that they should never place their personal interests ahead of Fidelity’s clients in an attempt to benefit themselves or another party. The Code of Ethics and other Fidelity policies impose sanctions if these requirements are violated. From time to time, in connection with our business, certain Fidelity personnel may obtain material nonpublic information that is usually not available to other investors or the general public. In compliance with applicable laws, Fidelity has adopted a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that prohibit the use of material nonpublic information by investment professionals and other employees. In addition, Fidelity has implemented a Corporate Gifts & Entertainment Policy intended to set standards for business entertainment and the giving or receiving of gifts, help employees make sound decisions with respect to these activities, and to ensure that the interests of Fidelity’s clients come first. Similarly, to support compliance with applicable “pay-to-play” rules, Fidelity has implemented a Personal Political Contributions & Activities policy which requires employees to pre-clear political contributions and activities. Fidelity also has a Global Anti- Corruption Policy regarding commercial bribery and bribery of government officials that prohibits directly or indirectly giving, offering, authorizing, promising, accepting, or receiving any bribe, facilitation payment, kickback, or payoff (whether in cash or any other form) with the intent to improperly obtain or retain business or any improper advantage. BROKERAGE PRACTICES All Investor accounts on the Platform are maintained at NFS, an affiliate of FIWA. In its capacity as Platform provider, FIWA is not responsible for directing any trading for any FMAX Essentials account. The Implementation Manager, the discretionary Investment Managers, including FIWA as discretionary Investment Manager for the Fidelity Institutional Custom SMAs strategies, or the Intermediary, as applicable, will execute transactions in Investor accounts, and are responsible for best execution obligations. In most cases, due to the structure of the Platform, the Implementation Manager, the discretionary Investment Manager, or the Intermediary will place trades for execution with NFS. NFS may receive remuneration, compensation, or other consideration for executing trading activity in Investor accounts. Investor accounts include a core transaction account that holds assets in a position awaiting further investment or withdrawal (“Core Position”). Depending on the type of brokerage account and the entity that serves as the introducing broker dealer associated with the Investor account, the available Core Position options may differ. Core Position options include but are not limited to Fidelity money market mutual funds, FDIC-insured bank sweep product, and FCASH. For non-retirement Investor accounts where FBS serves as the introducing broker dealer to the Investor account and NFS provides custody and clearing services to the Investor 36 account, FCASH is the default Core Position and generally the only available Core Position option. Retirement Investor accounts and Investor accounts where FBS does not serve as the introducing broker dealer to the Investor account may have different Core Position options. FCASH is an interest-bearing account offering managed by Fidelity. Fidelity invests FCASH funds in interest bearing instruments and other investments. FCASH balances are not segregated and may be used in NFS’ business. Fidelity may, but is not required to, pay interest on FCASH balances. Any interest paid to Investors is typically less than the interest earned by Fidelity. Fidelity and its affiliates retain any portion of the interest earned but not paid to Investors. FCASH has no separate fees, nor is it a money market mutual fund, or a bank deposit account, and is not covered by FDIC insurance. FIWA and its affiliates may receive an economic benefit on certain Core Positions in Investor accounts including management fees, mutual fund distribution and/or shareholder servicing revenue, interest, or other fees. To the extent that these benefits vary based on the Core Position utilized, FIWA has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the variations in such benefits. With respect to trading by the Implementation Manager, at the direction and authorization of the Intermediary, the Implementation Manager will place trades for mutual funds, ETPs, and exchange-listed equity securities with FCM (a division of NFS). The Implementation Manager may allocate up to 100% of an Investor’s order to FCM, subject to the Implementation Manager’s obligation to seek best execution. To ensure quality of trade executions, the Implementation Manager monitors the quality of such trade executions effected through FCM. When FCM is used for trading, FCM transmits the orders to various exchanges or market centers based on a number of factors. These include the following: size of the order, trading characteristics of the security, favorable execution prices (including the opportunity for price improvement), access to reliable market data, availability of efficient automated transaction processing, and execution costs. Some market centers or broker-dealers may execute orders at prices superior to the publicly quoted market prices. NFS receives remuneration, compensation, or other consideration for directing some customer orders for equity securities to certain market centers for execution. Such consideration may include financial credits, monetary payments, rebates, volume discounts, or reciprocal business. The details of any credit, payment, rebate, or other form of compensation received in connection with the routing of a particular order will be provided upon request, and an explanation of order- routing practices will be provided on an annual basis. In addition, from time to time, FIWA or its affiliates may provide aggregated trade execution data to customers and prospective customers. In most circumstances, trading costs for trades executed through affiliates of FIWA are covered by the Platform Fee. However, as noted in the section entitled “Fees and Compensation,” the Platform Fee does not cover charges associated with certain securities transactions or activity in Investor accounts including commissions or markups or markdowns resulting from trades effected with or through broker-dealers who are not affiliates of FIWA (as described below), transfer taxes, exchange fees, regulatory fees, odd-lot differentials, handling charges, or any other charges imposed by law or otherwise agreed to with regard to Platform accounts. The Intermediary and Investor may also agree to a different arrangement with respect to trade costs. 37 Please see the “Fees and Compensation” section above for a more extensive description of the fees borne by Investors. Intermediaries should be aware that discretionary Investment Managers and the Implementation Manager, when placing trades for certain Strategies, particularly those involving fixed income, illiquid, or thinly traded securities, may place all or substantially all trades with broker-dealers other than NFS. This practice is often referred to as “trading away,” and these types of trades are frequently called “step-out” trades. Step-out trades are executed at another broker-dealer and cleared and settled at NFS. If the discretionary Investment Manager or Implementation Manager effects step-out trades, Investors will, in most cases, incur commissions, markups, markdowns, or spreads paid to market makers in addition to the Platform. Investors should be aware that some discretionary Investment Managers may place all or substantially all trades as step-out trades. As a result, the trading costs of these discretionary Investment Managers and their Strategies will be more costly to Investors than those Strategies where the Implementation Manager places trades with FIWA and its affiliates for execution. Certain Investment Managers, beyond their role on the Platform, act as both a Model Provider and a discretionary Investment Manager. Some of these Investment Managers, as disclosed in their Form ADV Part 2A, have a trading rotation policy that segregates investment Model updates from directly managed accounts. If FIWA determines that such trade rotation policy may result in Investor accounts being systemically disadvantaged relative to other accounts managed by the Investment Manager, FIWA will make such disclosure to Investors. Investors should be aware that such a policy may result in performance that differs from the Strategy’s reported performance on the Platform. Trading through Affiliates The Implementation Manager and discretionary Investment Managers, as applicable, are authorized to place portfolio transactions with affiliated registered broker-dealers of FIWA. The Implementation Manager is responsible for directing and overseeing trading for Advisory Program accounts, with the exception of AMM Program accounts, where the Implementation Manager does not have trade discretion. Such trading can be effected on a principal or agency cross basis through Fidelity consistent with applicable law. To the extent that the Implementation Manager is responsible for trading an FMAX Essentials account, the Implementation Manager will arrange for the execution of transactions through FIWA affiliates, assuming the Implementation Manager reasonably believes that the quality of the execution of the transaction is comparable to what could be obtained through other qualified broker-dealers. REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS FIWA or the Implementation Manager performs a nightly reconciliation of Investor accounts in the Platform against data provided by NFS. Exceptions are researched and appropriate corrections are made, when necessary. Completely reconciled accounts are made available at the beginning of the next business day. The Intermediary is responsible for ensuring that Investor accounts are consistent with the risk profile and are in the best interest of the Investor. 38 Intermediaries are required to contact Investors on an annual basis to determine if there have been any changes to the Investor’s financial situation and stated investment objectives or if the Investor wishes to impose any reasonable investment restrictions on the management of the assets in the account. CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION The compensation described below is in addition to any fees received by FIWA for Platform accounts as described in the “Fees and Compensation” section, the “Brokerage Practices” section, or elsewhere in this brochure. Affiliates of FIWA are compensated for providing services, including for investment management, access, purchase or redemption, transfer agency, servicing, and custodial services with respect to certain Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds, ETPs, and Models used in Platform accounts. These affiliates include Strategic Advisers, FMR, FIAM and their affiliates as the investment adviser or sub-advisers for the Fidelity funds; FDC as the underwriter of the Fidelity funds; Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., as transfer agent for the Fidelity funds, and servicing agent for non-Fidelity funds; FBS as the introducing broker- dealer providing certain brokerage services for certain Platform accounts; and NFS as the clearing broker-dealer providing clearing, settlement, and custody services for Platform accounts. When an Intermediary chooses to use a Fund or Strategy advised, managed, or sponsored by FIWA or an affiliate of FIWA, FIWA and its affiliates earn additional compensation as a result of that decision. As such, FIWA has a potential financial conflict of interest when affiliated products or Models are selected by Intermediaries on the Platform. However, FIWA and its representatives do not select or exercise any discretion with respect to Funds, or Strategies (except for the Fidelity Institutional Custom SMAs strategies) for Investors on the Platform, nor does FIWA advise or make recommendations to Investors or Intermediaries with respect to the selection of any underlying investment or Strategy, affiliated or otherwise, that is available to Intermediaries and Investors (through their Intermediaries) on the Platform. FBS and NFS receive compensation for executing portfolio transactions and providing, among other things, clearance, settlement, custodial, and other services to Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds, ETPs, and other investments, and NFS provides securities lending agent services to certain affiliated and unaffiliated funds for which it receives compensation. FBS and NFS also contract with certain unaffiliated Investment Managers in connection with the availability, purchase or redemption of, servicing and ongoing maintenance of their investment products held in Platform accounts. FBS and NFS receive compensation for such services, including asset-based or transaction-based compensation for shareholder servicing, 12b-1 fees, and CUSIP maintenance and add fees. These fees are paid directly from or on behalf of the Funds or other investment solutions and are in addition to the Platform Fee paid by Intermediaries who use the Platform. FBS and NFS receive flat, annual fees from (1) certain product providers to compensate Fidelity for maintaining the infrastructure required to accommodate that provider’s investment products on Fidelity’s various platforms and (2) 39 certain Investment Managers who are invited to participate in access, engagement, and analytics programs established by FBS and NFS. Fidelity also receives asset-based fees or fixed fees from third-party ETF providers for shareholder servicing, platform and data support. FBS and NFS also receive compensation for services provided to iShares ETFs in connection with reduced or commission-free ETFs, and compensation in connection with a marketing program with respect to iShares funds, including ETFs and iShares funds in Platform accounts. FMR and its affiliates also obtain brokerage or research services, consistent with Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act, from broker-dealers in connection with the execution of the Fidelity funds’ portfolio security transactions. Client referrals may occur between FIWA and its affiliated entities pursuant to a services agreement, where applicable. Certain representatives of FIWA receive economic incentives for their efforts in the sales, distribution, and support of the Platform. In addition, FIWA representatives are generally also registered with one or more of our affiliated broker-dealers, FBS, NFS, and FDC. These representatives receive a salary, bonus, and non-cash incentives. Bonus and non-cash incentives can vary and are based on criteria including success in meeting sales goals, and total assets. In some instances, FIWA or its affiliates share certain revenue with the Implementation Manager to the FMAX Essentials Platform, EAM, for joint marketing activities that result in new accounts on the FMAX Essentials Platform. Such compensation is not deemed to be an endorsement by Implementation Manager of the FMAX Essentials Platform, nor by FIWA of the Implementation Manager. CUSTODY FIWA does not maintain custody for Investors’ assets in connection with the services it provides to the Platform. NFS, a registered broker-dealer and affiliate of FIWA, has custody of Investor assets on the Platform and performs certain services for the benefit of Investors, including the implementation of trading instructions, as well as custodial and related services. INVESTMENT DISCRETION Intermediaries grant discretionary authority for Investor accounts to the Implementation Manager or discretionary Investment Managers, including FIWA as discretionary Investment Manager for the Fidelity Institutional Custom SMAs strategies, as applicable. FIWA, in its capacity as provider of the FMAX Essentials Platform, does not exercise investment discretion with respect to the purchase or sale of securities for any Investor account, nor does it act as a fiduciary with respect to Investor accounts as defined under Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and related rules and regulations. The Intermediary is responsible for ensuring that the recommended portfolios are consistent with the risk profile and are in the best interest of the Investor. When selecting securities or trading accounts, the Implementation Manager or the discretionary Investment Manager, as 40 applicable, observe the investment policies established through the Platform for the particular Investor account, along with account investment limitations and restrictions of the Investor. In such instances, FMAX Essentials can provide tools to assist the Intermediary and discretionary Investment Manager in monitoring adherence to the investment policies established between Intermediary and Investor; however, FIWA does not undertake responsibility for monitoring adherence to an Investor’s broader investment policy. VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES FIWA, in its capacity as provider of the FMAX Essentials Platform, does not perform proxy voting for FMAX Essentials accounts.
