In addition, any statement that may be made concerning future performance, strategies or prospects, and possible future Fund action, is also a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are inherently subject to, among other things, risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Fund and economic factors.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual events and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking state-ments made by the Fund. Any number of important factors could contribute to these digressions, including, but not limited to, general economic, political and market factors in North America and internationally, interest and foreign exchange rates, global equity and capital markets, business competition, technological change, changes in government regulations, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, and catastrophic events.

It should be stressed that the above-mentioned list of important factors is not exhaustive. You are encouraged to consider these and other factors carefully before making any investment decisions and you are urged to avoid placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, you should be aware of the fact that the Fund has no specific intention of updating any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, prior to the release of the next Management Report of Fund Performance.

Management Discussion of Fund PerformanceResults of OperationsFidelity Japan Class (Fund) invests substantially all of its assets in securities of Fidelity Japan Fund (Underlying Fund).

Fidelity Japan Class , Series B, returned -0.8%, after fees and expenses for the six-month period ended May 31, 2019. The net returns of the other series of this Fund are similar to those of Series B, except for differences attributable to expense structures. Global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index, returned 3.1% in Canadian dollar terms during the review period.

Market overview:

Global equities advanced over the review period, rebounding from weaker returns at the end of 2018. The decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to pause its cycle of interest rate hikes in early 2019 contributed to gains in global equities. The expectation that the U.S. and China would resolve their trade dispute was among the leading factors driving market performance. Strong economies and healthy corporate earnings supported U.S. and Canadian equities over most of the review period. European equities registered positive returns despite intermittent volatility due to Brexit-related uncertainty, as well as budget-related tensions between Italy and the European Union. However, global markets turned volatile as international trade tensions intensified. Concerns about slowing global growth resurfaced in May and weighed on investor sentiment.

Factors affecting performance:

The Fund’s benchmark, the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX), returned -2.2% during the review period. The Fund outperformed its benchmark primarily due to the Underlying Fund’s exposure to certain stocks in the health care sector. In the sector, investments in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life sciences firm Peptidream, and optical products manufacturing firm Hoya, contributed to relative returns. In addition, exposure to certain stocks in the industrials sector contributed to relative performance. In the sector, investments in information operation businesses Sms Co., and human resource services provider Recruit Holdings, contributed to relative returns. Among other sectors, an investment in multinational conglomerate SoftBank Group contributed to relative returns.

By contrast, investments in certain stocks in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from relative performance. In the sector, investments in consumer electronics firm Sony, and online fashion retailer Zozo, detracted from relative returns. Investments in certain stocks in the information technology sector also detracted from relative returns. In the sector, an investment in electronic capacitor manufacturing company Murata Manufacturing, and lack of exposure to multinational conglomerate Hitachi, detracted from relative returns. Among other sectors, an investment in international advertising and public relations Dentsu detracted from relative returns.

At the end of the review period, the Underlying Fund had no exposure to Zozo and Murata Manufacturing.

Portfolio changes:

During the review period, portfolio manager Eileen Dibb made several changes to the Underlying Fund’s portfolio. She continued to focus on attractively valued companies she believes will generate consistent earnings growth in various market environments. The Underlying Fund’s exposure to the energy and financials sectors increased. In the energy sector, the portfolio man-ager initiated a position in gas exploration and production firm Inpex Corp due to its attractive valuations and growth prospects. In the financials sector, a position was initiated in insurance firm Tokio Marine. The portfolio manager believes the company has a well-diversified business model and a strong capital base that will likely drive earnings growth over the medium term.

By contrast, exposure to the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors decreased. In the consumer discretionary sector, the portfolio manager reduced exposure to consumer electronics manufacturer Sony as she found what she believed to be better opportunities with more attractive risk/reward profiles. In the industrials sector, a position was exited in glass manufacturer AGC as the stock reached her price target.

Recent DevelopmentsThe Underlying Fund’s portfolio manager Eileen Dibb believes the outlook in Japan is still positive. She believes the corporate sector looks attractive, with innovation and technological advances continuing to drive earnings. The portfolio manager expects Japanese companies to continue to benefit from positive changes in management focus on efficiency and shareholder returns, while becoming more cautious on the outlook for global growth. Ms. Dibb acknowledges the complexity of global factors that influence the Japanese economy and corporate sector. She continues to seek structurally competitive companies that are consistently growing with potentially increasing returns to shareholders, or companies that may be inexpensively valued and expected to recover, in her view.

At the end of the review period, the Underlying Fund had its largest absolute exposure to the industrials sector, followed by the health care sector. The Underlying Fund diverged most from its benchmark sector weightings by having more exposure to the health care sector and less exposure to the financials sector.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Fund’s risk rating was reduced from “high” to “medium to high”. As part of regularly scheduled reviews, it was determined that the Fund’s standard deviation (i.e. volatility) fell into the medium to high risk rating bracket.

Financial Highlights – continued

Financial Highlights FootnotesA This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual and/or unaudited interim financial statements. The net assets attributable to securityholders per security presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset

value calculated for fund pricing purposes. An explanation of these differences can be found in the notes to financial statements. For reporting periods ending after January 1, 2017 per security comparative figures (except for net asset value per security, end of period) have been conformed to the current rounding presentation of two decimal places. As a result, reporting periods ending prior to January 1, 2017 may not foot due to this rounding change.

B Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of securities outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations is based on the weighted average number of securities outstanding over the financial period. This table is not intended to be a reconciliation of beginning to ending net assets per security.

C Distributions were paid in cash or reinvested in additional securities of the Fund, or both, and excludes any applicable distributions of management fee reduction to securityholders.D This information is provided as at period end of the year shown.E Management expense ratio is based on total expenses (excluding distributions, commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset

values during the period, including the Fund’s pro-rata share of estimated expenses incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable.F Effective November 1, 2014, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver

at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.G The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period, including the Fund’s pro-rata share of estimated

trading costs incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable.H The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund’s portfolio adviser manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its

portfolio once in the course of the year. The higher the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high portfolio turnover rate and the performance of the Fund. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated based on the lesser of purchases or sales of securities divided by the weighted average market value of the portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities. For periods greater than six months, but less than a full fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate is annualized.

I For the period February 5, 2016 (commencement of sale of securities) to November 30, 2016.J Effective February 9, 2016, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at

any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.K For the period December 4, 2015 (commencement of sale of securities) to November 30, 2016.L Effective December 8, 2015, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver

at any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.M For the period January 26, 2017 (commencement of sale of securities) to November 30, 2017.N Effective January 30, 2017, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at

any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.O For the period April 20, 2018 (commencement of sale of securities) to November 30, 2018.P Effective April 24, 2018, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at

any time, at its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.

Management and Advisory FeesFidelity serves as manager of the Fund. The Fund pays Fidelity a monthly management fee for its services, based on the net asset value of each Series, calculated daily and payable monthly. Fidelity uses these management fees to pay for sales and trailing commissions to registered dealers on the distribution of the Fund securities, as well as for general investment management expenses. Dealer compensation represents cash commissions paid by Fidelity to registered dealers during the period and includes upfront deferred sales charge and trailing commissions. This amount may, in certain circumstances, exceed 100% of the fees earned by Fidelity during the period. For new Funds or Series the amounts presented may not be indicative of longer term operating periods.

Past PerformanceThe performance information shown assumes that all distributions made by the Fund in the periods shown were reinvested in additional securities of the Fund. The performance information does not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or other optional charges that would have reduced returns or performance. How the Fund has performed in the past does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.

The performance data shown for the period occurring prior to the commencement of operations of a series P or E is that of the corresponding series F or F5 (for series P) or B or S5 (for series E). Series F, F5, B and S5 have higher combined management and administration fees than the applicable series P and E. Had a series P or E existed since the commencement of operations of series F, F5, B or S5, the returns of the applicable series P or E would have been higher.

Year-by-Year ReturnsThe following bar chart shows the Fund’s annual performance for each of the years shown, and illustrates how the Fund’s performance was changed from year to year. In percentage terms, the bar chart shows how much an investment made on the first day of each financial year would have grown or decreased by the last day of each financial year. For each Series in the Year-by-Year Returns table below, the most recent returns stated are for the current six month period.

Fidelity’s mutual funds are sold by registered Investment Professionals. Each Fund has a simplified prospectus, which contains important information on the Fund, including its investment objective, purchase options, and applicable charges. Please obtain a copy of the prospectus, read it carefully, and consult your Investment Professional before investing. As with any investment, there are risks to investing in mutual funds. There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective, and its net asset value, yield, and investment return will fluctuate from time to time with market conditions. Investors may experience a gain or loss when they sell their securities in any Fidelity Fund. Fidelity Global Funds may be more volatile than other Fidelity Funds as they concentrate investments in one sector and in fewer issuers; no single Fund is intended to be a complete diversified investment program. Past performance is no assurance or indicator of future returns. There is no assurance that either Fidelity Canadian Money Market Fund, Fidelity Canadian Money Market Investment Trust, Fidelity U.S. Money Market Fund or Fidelity U.S. Money Market Investment Trust will be able to maintain its net asset value at a constant amount. The breakdown of Fund investments is presented to illustrate the way in which a Fund may invest, and may not be representative of a Fund’s current or future investments. A Fund’s investments may change at any time.
