LIFECYCLE FUNDS

Explore Your Investment Options - shows details. Click to open.

These are products that can offer an easy-to-manage diversified portfolio in a single fund. They may contain many different asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and short-term investments. While different funds are arranged according to different asset allocations, what they all do is provide you with the opportunity to own a diversified portfolio with just one fund.

Depending on your retirement savings plan, there are two options to consider: Target Date Funds which are based on an anticipated retirement date and Target Allocation Funds that are based on a risk tolerance and time horizon.

Note: The performance data featured represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, therefore you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Click on an investment to view quarter end returns, risk, fees and expenses. 1,2,3,4.

CORE FUNDS

Explore Your Investment Options - shows details. Click to open.

Core funds are designed to constitute the essential elements of your overall investment portfolio. Different fund companies define core funds differently, but typically these funds include several types of investments that are suitable for most investors, making it easier to get the investment exposure they want without buying a huge number of individual stocks, funds, or other securities.

You may choose from a range of fund choices that reflect different styles and goals.

Note: The performance data featured represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, therefore you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Click on an investment to view quarter end returns, risk, fees and expenses. 1,2,3,4.

You may lose money by investing in a money market fund. Not all money market funds operate the same way and depending on the fund, you may be subject to certain operating policies and risks not applicable to other money market funds. Please click on the name of the fund below for risks specific to that fund.

All employees may make voluntary contributions to the Bentley University Retirement Plan at any time. Such contributions and any earnings are exempted from state and federal taxation until collected as income through a distribution. For more detailed information, please refer to the Summary Plan Description for the Bentley University Retirement Plan.

If you have not enrolled in the Plan within 45 days of your eligiblity, or opted out by choosing a 0% contribution amount, you will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a rate of 3%. You will also be enrolled in the Annual Increase Program which will increase your deferral by 1% each year until you reach a 10% contribution.

If no investments are chosen, your contributions will be invested in a Target Date Fund based on your date of birth. Target Date Funds are an asset mix of stocks, bonds and other investments that automatically becomes more conservative as the fund approaches its target retirement date and beyond. Principal invested is not guaranteed.

We encourage you to choose a contribution rate and investment options that are appropriate for you.

Before investing, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund or annuity and its investment options. Call or write to Fidelity or visit Fidelity.com for a free prospectus and, if available, summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.

** The current yield of the money market mutual fund listed above reflects the current earnings of the fund, while the total return refers to a specific past holding period.

*** The yield without applicable waivers or reimbursements, whenever Fidelity is subsidizing all or a portion of the fund's expenses as of the current reporting period. Absent such waivers or reimbursements, the returns would have been lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued any time.

Investing involves risk, including risk of loss.

Footnotes 1, 2, 3 and 4 below pertain to the performance tables located on the Investment Options tab:

1 Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.

2Total returns are historical and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. These figures do not include the effect of sales charges, if any, as these fees are waived for contributions made through your retirement plan. If sales charges were included, returns would have been lower. Life of fund figures are from the inception date to the period shown. For unitized funds, the inception date shown may be that of the fund's underlying investment option. For non-mutual fund pools and trusts whose strategies may be offered to multiple clients, and whose returns may be based on a composite, the inception date shown may be the beginning date of the composite's returns.

3In 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 risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and 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.

4Target Date Funds are an asset mix of stocks, bonds and other investments that automatically becomes more conservative as the fund approaches its target retirement date and beyond. Principal invested is not guaranteed.
