Subchapter “C” Corporation MLP Funds - Fidelity
Important Information about Subchapter "C" Corporation MLP Funds
The fund you are attempting to purchase is classified for federal income tax purposes as a taxable regular corporation referred to as a Subchapter "C" Corporation.
Master Limited Partnership (MLP) funds classified as "C" corporations accrue deferred income taxes for future tax liabilities associated with their underlying investments. The accrued deferred income tax expense is reflected in the daily NAV and, as a result, the fund's after-tax performance could be significantly less than that of its underlying assets even if the pre-tax performance is closely tracked.
The deferred income tax expense represents an estimate and cannot be reliably predicted.
Please review the Annual Fund Operating Expense table contained in the fund's prospectus or most recent shareholder report for details concerning the fund's deferred income tax expense.
In addition to the fund's tax treatment, there are risks associated with the underlying MLP investments of MLP funds that should be carefully considered before investing:
Legislative risk: The tax treatment of publicly traded MLPs could be subject to potential legislative, judicial, or administrative changes, possibly on a retroactive basis. Any such changes in tax treatment could negatively impact the value of an investment in an MLP. Concentration risk: Many MLPs are concentrated in the energy infrastructure sector. This narrow focus of MLPs may present considerably more risk than a diversified investment across numerous sectors of the economy. Market risk: MLPs may exhibit high volatility particularly during periods of economic stress or due to other events impacting the particular sector or industry in which an MLP operates. Interest rate risk: The market prices of MLPs are sensitive to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the prices of MLP units may decline (and vice versa). Rising interest rates could also increase the MLP's cost of capital which may limit potential growth through acquisition or expansion and reduce distribution growth rates. Distribution policy risk: All or a portion of an MLP's distribution may consist of a return of capital and it should not be assumed that the source of a distribution is net profit from the MLP's operations. Liquidity risk: Despite the fact that MLPs are publicly traded, investments in MLPs may be relatively illiquid due to their unique investment strategy, asset concentration or other factors. Lack of liquidity can negatively impact the ability to sell MLP units. Additionally, should a secondary market exist, it may not be possible to sell MLP units without incurring a significant loss. Commodity price risk: The price of MLP units may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices. A significant decrease in the production or supply or sustained reduced demand for natural gas, oil, or other energy commodities would limit revenue and cash flows of MLPs and, therefore, the ability of MLPs to make distributions to unit holders. Regulatory risk: The assets of MLPs tend to be heavily regulated by federal and state governments. Changes in regulation can adversely impact an MLP's profitability and therefore the value of MLP units. Conflicts of Interest: The general partners of an MLP typically have limited fiduciary duties to the MLP and may have conflicts of interest which could result in the general partners favoring its own interests over the MLP's interests.
