Prior to joining Geode, Mr. Waddell was employed by Fidelity in 1997 and served as a Senior Portfolio Assistant from 2002 to 2004." C: The Staff questioned whether "in" should be replaced with "since." R: We will revise the language as follows (underlined added): "Prior to joining Geode, Mr. Adams was employed by State Street Global Advisors beginning in 1989 and served as a Portfolio Manager for over seven years. . . Prior to joining Geode, Mr. Waddell was employed by Fidelity beginning in 1997 and served as a Senior Portfolio Assistant from 2002 to 2004." 2. All Funds (except Fidelity California Municipal Money Market Fund, Spartan California Municipal Money Market Fund, and Fidelity Select Money Market Portfolio) "Management Contracts" (SAIs) (All Funds (except Fidelity Select Stock Portfolios, Spartan Total Market Index Fund, Spartan Extended Market Index Fund, Spartan International Index Fund, and Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund) "[The/A] portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates." (Spartan Total Market Index Fund, Spartan Extended Market Index Fund, Spartan International Index Fund, and Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund) "Each portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at Geode." (Fidelity Select Stock Portfolios) "Each sector fund manager's base salary is determined primarily by level of responsibility and performance as a research analyst and sector fund manager at FMR or its affiliates." C: Is each manager's salary a fixed based salary as opposed to a performance related salary or otherwise? R: Each manager's base salary is determined for each year. 3. Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund and Fidelity Select Stock Portfolios "Management Contracts" (SAIs) (Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund) "The primary components of a portfolio manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of a portfolio manager's fund(s) and accounts relative to a defined peer group and relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of a broad range of other FMR equity funds and accounts." (Fidelity Select Stock Portfolios) "Additional components of each sector fund manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the Select fund relative to the S&P 500 Index, a Goldman Sachs sector index (identified below for each Select fund above) and additional industry benchmark indices developed by FMR, if applicable, and (ii) the investment performance of a broad range of FMR equity funds and accounts." C: Item 15(b) of Form N-1A requires that any benchmark used to measure performance be identified. The underlined text does not provide enough information. R: For the Select Stock Portfolios, the following footnote explaining the customized benchmarks will be added in the funds' next filing: "These funds are also compared to a customized industry benchmark index developed by FMR. Each customized industry benchmark generally is a market-capitalization weighted index of securities that meet a fund's 80% name test policy. FMR rebalances these customized industry benchmark indexes monthly to add new securities issued (e.g., IPO's) and to exclude securities that fall below a certain market capitalization in the weighted index. The customized industry benchmarks generally exclude securities of foreign companies, with the exception of Select Automotive and Select Pharmaceuticals." The portfolio manager for Four-in-One-Index is not compensated for managing that fund and therefore there is no benchmark for compensation purposes. General information is provided as to how the portfolio manager's bonus is determined, which is based on the performance of other funds. Additional information on the portfolio manager's compensation is provided in the SAI(s) for other funds managed by the portfolio manager. 4. Fidelity U.S. Bond Index, Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, Fidelity Select Stock Portfolios, and Spartan California Municipal Income Fund "Management Contracts" (SAIs) (Fidelity U.S. Bond Index, Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, and Spartan California Municipal Income Fund) "[The/A] portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by [the/a] fund." (Fidelity Select Stock Portfolios) "A sector fund manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Select fund." C: Discuss conflicts as they relate to allocation. R: We will add the following disclosure to address conflicts arising from the allocation policy in the funds' next filing: "In addition, the fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR." 5. All funds Tandy (prospectuses and SAIs) C: The Staff would like us to affirm the following three statements: 1) The fund is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings. 2) Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments in the filings reviewed by the Staff do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing. 3) The fund may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any other person under the Federal Securities Laws. R: We affirm the aforementioned statements.
