Fidelity's Planning and Guidance center allows you to create and monitor multiple independent financial goals. While there is no fee to generate a plan, expenses charged by your investments and other fees associated with trading or transacting in your account would still apply. You are responsible for determining whether, and how, to implement any financial planning considerations presented, including asset allocation suggestions, and for paying applicable fees. Financial planning does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of any offer to buy, or a recommendation of any security by Fidelity Investments or any third-party.

4.

No account fees or minimums to open Fidelity retail IRA accounts. Expenses charged by investments (e.g., funds, managed accounts, and certain HSAs), and commissions, interest charges, and other expenses for transactions, may still apply. See Fidelity.com/commissions for further details.

5. There is no minimum amount required to open a Fidelity Go account. However, in order for us to invest your money according to the investment strategy you've chosen, your account balance must be at least $10. The Fidelity Go program advisory fee is calculated and charged at the account level.

6. Clients with $500,000 or more at Fidelity may be eligible for dedicated Fidelity advisor access.

7.

The change in the RMDs age requirement from 72 to 73 applies only to individuals who turn 72 on or after January 1, 2023. After you reach age 73, the IRS generally requires you to withdraw an RMD annually from your tax-advantaged retirement accounts (excluding Roth IRAs, and Roth accounts in employer retirement plan accounts starting in 2024). Please speak with your tax advisor regarding the impact of this change on future RMDs.
