1. The A.M. Best financial strength rating relates to Fidelity Life's insurance and investment business, not the Fidelity KiwiSaver Scheme or the Fidelity Capital Guaranteed Bond.
2. The ranking relates only to the funds included by FundSource in its KiwiSaver performance data. Not all KiwiSaver funds are included in the FundSource data. Past performance
is not necessarily indicative of future performance. All funds are subject to volatility.
3. The Options Kiwi Fund has a high risk profile and is subject to volatility. The Options Kiwi Fund uses leverage and derivatives (options contracts) that could generate and enhance any returns or losses. As with all of the Fidelity KiwiSaver Scheme funds, please consult your financial adviser on what proportion of your retirement savings should be in the Options Kiwi Fund.
