Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

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.) Fixed-income securities also carry inflation, credit, and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. 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.

Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

Foreign securities are subject to interest-rate, currency-exchange-rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.

The fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities that involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.

Fund Talk: The Managers' Overview

Market Recap

Global equities were rocked by a number of headline events during the year ending October 31, 2011. Stocks posted a solid advance for the first half of the year, despite concern about sovereign debt in Europe, a devastating earthquake/tsunami in Japan, and political upheaval in the Arab world. Sentiment turned decidedly negative in the second half, however, as fresh worries about Europe, inflation in China, the debt ceiling debate and Standard & Poor's downgrade of its long-term sovereign credit rating of the U.S., and a dimmer outlook for global growth caused markets to suffer declines that intensified in August and September. October brought with it yet another dramatic swing, as better-than-expected U.S. economic data and prospects for a resolution to the European debt debacle prompted buyers to storm back onto the scene in search of bargains. Those gains — along with favorable currency fluctuations overall — lifted the MSCI® World Index 2.12% for the year. Within the index, Europe declined the most, with most countries in the region sustaining steep losses. By contrast, the U.S. (+8%), which dominates the index, fared well, as did Australia (+4%) and Switzerland (+3%). Japan showed resilience in the wake of its natural disasters, falling only 2%. Global bond markets performed comparatively well, with the Citigroup® World Government Bond Index gaining 3.73%.

Q. How did the fund perform, Ruben?

R.C. For the one-year period ending October 31, 2011, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 2.34%, underperforming the 3.13% return of the Fidelity Global Balanced Composite Index — a 60%/40% blend of the MSCI® World Index and the Citigroup® World Government Bond Index — but handily outpacing the 0.55% gain of the Morningstar® World Allocation Category.

Q. What was your allocation strategy?

R.C. We began the period overweighted in equities and underweighted in investment-grade bonds. However, the pendulum-like swings of global markets during the period's second half prompted us to increase our stake in investment-grade debt and reconsider our investment strategy in the volatile equity asset class. As a result, the fund was overweighted in investment-grade bonds and underweighted in equities at period end. These shifts paid off nicely for the fund overall, making asset allocation a meaningful contributor to relative results. Within the equity subportfolio, underweighting the weak-performing Europe sleeve was the right call, as the region continued to suffer declines amid growing concern about the future of the euro. Conversely, a small out-of-index stake in a Fidelity central fund of emerging-markets stocks during the period's latter half was detrimental. We began reducing our allocation to the group given prevailing inflation concerns here and slowing growth in China — the region's largest economy — which threatened to put a chokehold on this previously strong-performing group. On the fixed-income side, increasing our stake in emerging-markets debt — through an investment in a dedicated Fidelity central fund, which we added to the portfolio in March — was a beneficial move. We believed that emerging markets offered incrementally better credit quality relative to developed markets worldwide, and our average overweighting here helped.

Q. Geoff, how did the equity subportfolios perform?

G.S. Absolute results among the sleeves were mixed, with all equity segments except the U.S. and Canada suffering declines. Our U.S. investments boasted the largest return for the period, as solid business fundamentals in corporate America fueled a supportive backdrop for domestic stocks. By contrast, the Europe subportfolio declined the most. On balance, security selection detracted from relative results, though a strong showing from the U.S. subportfolio partially offset underperformance from the Europe, Asia ex Japan and Japan sleeves.

Q. And the investment-grade debt subportfolio?

G.S. The developed-country debt sleeve produced a low-single-digit advance, moderately underperforming its benchmark. While most factors were favorable to neutral for the high-grade asset class, yield spreads widened during the period, and even high-grade corporates — which the fund owns — saw their spreads increase, detracting from relative results.

Q. Ruben, what's your outlook as of period end?

R.C. Volatile global equity markets continue to appear inexpensive, while sovereign bonds look stretched amid historically low yields and generally higher prices. Over much of the past year, we continued to confront the conundrum of overweighting equities or buying relatively safer bonds — a challenge at the core of the fund, which aims to provide growth while having an edge towards capital preservation. That said, we feel equities have begun to lose their appeal, as the cash-rich corporate sector has failed to act as the locomotive for growth given deep uncertainties on the global regulatory and fiscal fronts. This leaves corporate bonds, especially high yield, as an attractive alternative to benefit from the health of the corporate sector. The fund has exposure to this asset class through Fidelity's dedicated high-yield bond central fund. As for sovereign bonds, we continue to see them as an attractive diversifier amid market volatility. Although rating agencies may downgrade some sovereign paper, governments have great taxing power to avoid default and help service their debt. Moreover, our outlook for near-term inflation is relatively low, which should provide a supportive backdrop for the asset class.

Ruben Calderon on opportunities in Brazil:

"As investors focus their attention on European sovereign debt, inflation in China and the U.S. debt ceiling saga, a recent visit to Brazil with a colleague as part of a Fidelity Global Asset Allocation team research excursion led me to several striking conclusions regarding opportunities and risk from an asset allocation perspective. Brazil, which at 15% was the largest component of the MSCI® Emerging Markets Index during the period, has a long-standing, relatively stable democracy compared with many other emerging markets. Its unemployment rate has experienced a precipitous fall in the past decade, below that of the U.S. and Mexico, another important Latin American financial market. Another point of interest is the country's income growth pattern. From 2000 to 2010, the poorest segments of the population experienced significant improvement in their incomes without a negative impact to the incomes of the wealthier end of the spectrum. This partly results from a vibrant domestic consumer in Brazil. As investors continue to be wary about China's slowing economic growth and growing debt, I believe investments in Brazil could become an increasingly attractive means of portfolio diversification from within the emerging markets."

Expense ratio: 1.06%

Expense ratio is the total annual operating expense ratio from the most recent prospectus. A class' net expenses paid may be different. Effective November 1, 2010, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the class of shares of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 1.20%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time. Please refer to the most recent prospectus and annual report for more information on a class' expenses.

Morningstar calculates average annual total returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.

See next page for index information.
