Market RecapThe global business cycle continued to mature during the six months ending September 30, 2019, with most major economiesin the late-cycle phase. The U.S. economy remained firmly in the late cycle, as capacity constraints emerged and economic activityappeared to peak. China's economy stabilized, but reacceleration from its growth recession remained elusive and weighed on the global economy. U.S.–China trade-policy uncertainty served as an ongoing drag on corporate confidence. Overall, a global industrial and trade recession showed few signsof abating, and it remained to be seen if policy easing would spark global economic reacceleration.

Looking at global assets, non-U.S. equities gained 1.24%, according to the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Index. By region, resource-rich Canada (+6%) led the way, followed by continental Europe (+5%) and Japan (+4%). Conversely, emerging markets (-3%) and Asia-Pacific ex Japan (-0.48%) lagged the broader market. By sector, growth-oriented information technology (+7%) fared best, followed by consumer staples and utilities (+4% each), two higher-dividend-yielding groups. Conversely, real estate, energy and materials each returned about -4% this period.

The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index advanced 6.08% the past six months. Nine of 11 sectors had a gain, with the exceptions of energy (-9%), which was hurt by falling commodityprices, and health care (-1%), which suffered from political rhetoric related to shifting health care policy ahead of the 2020 election. Higher-dividend-yielding sectors stood out, led by utilities (+13%), as well as real estate and consumer staples, eachof which gained about 10%. The small-cap-oriented Russell 2000® Index returned -0.36% for the period. Commodities lagged other assets, as reflected in the -3.00% result of the Bloomberg Barclays Commodity Index Total Return.

U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds advanced broadly this period, driven by slower global economic growth, uncertainty regarding trade policy and the direction of U.S. interest rates. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 5.42%. Corporate bonds advanced 7.38%, topping both government-related bonds (+5.44%) and U.S. Treasuries (+5.48%). Securitized bonds rose 4.10%, led by commercial mortgage-backed securities (+5.23%). Outside the index, high-yield bonds tended to lag investment-grade debt, while TreasuryInflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 4.25%. ■

Investment Approach• Fidelity Freedom® Index Funds (the Funds) are designed

so that the target date referenced in the Fund name is the approximate year when we expect investors to retire and begin gradually withdrawing their investment.

• Except for Fidelity Freedom® Index Income Fund, each of the Funds seeks high total return until reaching its respective target retirement date; thereafter, each Fund's objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.

• Except for Fidelity Freedom® Index Income Fund, each Fund's asset allocation strategy becomes increasingly conservative as it approaches its target date – and beyond. Ultimately, the Funds are expected to merge with Fidelity Freedom Index Income Fund.

• The Funds employ a robust investment process focused on helping investors solve the challenge of investing through retirement by leveraging the depth and strengthof Fidelity's investment research and resources.

Q&AAn interview with Co-Portfolio Managers Andrew Dierdorf, Brett Sumsion and Finola McGuire Foley

Q: Andrew, how did Fidelity Freedom® Index Funds perform for the six months ending September 30, 2019

A.D. The Investor Class shares of each Fund posted a gain. Returns ranged from 4.27% for Fidelity Freedom® Index Income Fund to roughly 4.8% for longer-dated Funds. Each Fund performed roughly in line with its respective Composite index. The Funds' returns were generally in line with or ahead of their respective peer group averages for thesix months.

Looking out a bit longer term, all the Funds performed roughly in line with their respective Composites for the 12 months ending September 30, 2019, and all outperformed their respective peer group averages. (For specific Fund results, please refer to the Fiscal Performance Summaries.)

Q: How would you characterize the Funds' overall performance the past six months

A.D. It was a good period. The Funds achieved a mid-single-digit return, driven by positive returns for all underlying asset classes.

The Funds' diversified exposure to multiple asset classes continued to provide a balance between portfolio risk and return, amid a dynamic market environment that featured performance disparity among various asset classes.

Q: Why is diversification so important to the objectives of the Funds

A.D. Our research indicates diversification is the best way to manage uncertainty in the capital markets over extended investment horizons.

Our approach to diversification incorporates assets we believe can provide independent sources of return and risk. Assets that deliver unique results in distinct market environments can help protect investors from unexpected and persistent changes in the global macroeconomic environment.

Our investment process for establishing the strategic asset allocation (i.e., glide path) emphasizes research into

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A | AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

participant needs, portfolio diversification, and the long-termforces that affect capital markets.

We analyze factors that influence participant outcomes over the longer term, such as demographic trends, expectations for growth and inflation, and regulatory dynamics. Because these factors evolve gradually over time, we periodically adjust the glide path to reflect our latest research. [See the next section of this report for the latest updates on Fidelity's glide path.]

Q: Brett, what specific factors influenced the Funds' performance this period

B.S. Long-term U.S. Treasury bonds performed best, gaining 14.43% this period as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Long-Term U.S. Treasury Bond Index.

The Funds' investment in Fidelity® Series Long-Term TreasuryBond Index Fund, which became part of the strategic allocation during the second half of 2018, roughly kept pace, advancing 14.37%.

Many investors sought exposure to Treasuries as potential "safe havens" amid increasing concerns about sluggish global economic growth, which pushed bond prices higher. We added strategic, long-term exposure to this asset class after our research indicated that long-duration bonds can provide some protection during times of market stress.

Similarly, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for U.S. investment-grade bond performance, rose 5.42% for the period. The Funds' investment in Fidelity® Series Bond Index Fund added value, returning 5.45%.

Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 3.15%, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays 1-10 TIPS Index. TheFunds' investment in Fidelity® Series Inflation-Protected Bond Index Fund slightly outperformed, gaining 3.28% for the six months.

Q: Finola, what else influenced the Funds' performance

F.F. U.S. equities performed well this period. Investors generally favored the U.S. equity markets relative to foreign stocks. Data suggested the U.S. economy remained more firmly entrenched in expansion than other developed-marketeconomies around the world, despite indications that most were in a late-cycle phase of expansion.

The Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, a well-rounded benchmark for U.S. equities, advanced 5.27% the past six months. The Funds' underlying investment in U.S.-based equity index funds performed roughly on par with this index.

By comparison, non-U.S. equities returned 1.24% for the six months, based on the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index.

The Funds' investment in Fidelity® Series Global ex U.S. Index Fund nearly kept pace with this index.

Q: Any final thoughts for shareholders as of September 30, Andrew

A.D. As a reminder, the Funds' strategic asset allocation emphasizes diversification and is expected to be the primary driver of long-term outcomes. Over the past six to 12 months, strategic asset allocation decisions have emphasizedgreater diversification, based on our views of lower long-term returns across major asset classes and increased capital markets uncertainty.

Our research frameworks inform the makeup of our glide path, and are oriented around historical returns and risks, as well as our forward-looking views. From time to time, these research perspectives, along with shifting market dynamics, prompt us to update or enhance our glide path, most recently in 2019.

Philosophically, we believe the glide path and strategic asset allocation will drive the majority of the long-term outcomes for the Freedom® Index Funds. ■

Andrew Dierdorf on recent adjustments to Fidelity's glide path:

"Fidelity updated its glide path in May 2019, because our research indicated we could increase diversification and potentially improve outcomes forshareholders.

"We adjusted the equity composition of the strategic asset allocation from 70%/30% to 60%/40% for U.S./non-U.S. equities to reflect our views on the long-term market expectations for each category and to increase the Funds' diversification.

"This update reflects our expectations for lower real returns for most asset classes, relative to their long-term averages, partly due slower U.S. GDP growth, shifting demographics, and elevated valuations—especially in the U.S. Amid these dynamics, we expect to see better longer-term stock-investment opportunities outside the U.S. in late 2019, and as we head into 2020.

"This change comes on the heels of our update to the glide path in 2018, in which we allocated funds to long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), while slightly reducing exposure to U.S. equities, non-U.S. equities, investment-grade bonds and short-term debt securities, and eliminating commodities.

"Some big-picture inflationary themes – including uncertainty related to monetary policy, fiscal policy and peak globalization – prompted us to boost the glide path's allocation to TIPS among nearer-dated Funds.

"At the same time, some deflationary dynamics, such as aging demographics in the U.S., where people spend less and demand fewer products and services, have led us to include a structural allocation to long-term U.S. Treasuries in the glide path. Deflation is generally an unfortunate event for everyone, regardless of where you are on a glide path, as it affects all asset prices.

"Our ultimate goal is to help investors in Fidelity Freedom® Index Funds maintain their standard of living in retirement. Our glide path is the key driver to achieving this goal, and we believe these latest enhancements will serve us well in pursuit of our investment objectives."

BROAD ASSET CLASS RETURNS A graphical representation of historical market performance and the variations in returns among asset classes, as represented by thefollowing indexes:

Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Credit Ex US Index Hedged (USD) is a market value weighted index that measures theperformance, hedged in USD, of the global non-US dollar denominated investment-grade corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities of one year or more.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-10 Year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index (Series-L) is a market value-weighted indexthat measures the performance of inflation-protected securities issued by the U.S. Treasury that have a remaining average life between 1 and 10 years.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 3 Month Treasury Bellwether Index is a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate publicobligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of 3 months, excluding zero coupon strips.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based, market-value-weighted benchmark that measures the performance of the investment grade, U.S. dollardenominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. Sectors in the index include Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS, and CMBS.

ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index is a modified market capitalization–weighted index of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market. Qualifying securities must have a below investment grade rating (based on an average of Moody's, S&P and Fitch). The country of risk of qualifying issuers must be an FX-G10 member, a Western European nation, or a territory of the US or a Western European nation. The FX-G10 includes all Euro members, the US, Japan, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden. In addition, qualifying securities must have at least one year remaining to final maturity, a fixed coupon schedule and at least $100 million in outstanding face value. Defaulted securities are excluded. The index contains all securities of ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index but caps issuer exposure at 2%.

Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return measures the performance of the commodities market. It consists of exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities that are weighted to account for the economic significance and market

liquidity of each commodity.

Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index is a float-adjusted market capitalization–weighted index of all equity securities of U.S.headquartered companies with readily available price data.

Fidelity Real Estate Income Composite Index is a customized blend of unmanaged indexes, weighted as follows: The BofA Merrill Lynch US Real Estate Index - 40%; MSCI REIT Preferred Index - 40%; and FTSE NAREIT All REITs Index - 20%.

J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global tracks total returns for the U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued byEmerging Market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities, such as Brady bonds, loans, and Eurobonds.

MSCI World ex USA Index is a market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the investable equity market performance for global investors of developed markets outside theUnited States.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization-weightedindex that is designed to measure the investable equity market performance for global investors in emerging markets.

S&P/LSTA Leveraged Performing Loan Index is a market value-weighted index designed to represent the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated institutional leveraged performing loan portfolios (excluding loans in payment default) using current market weightings, spreads and interest payments.

FUND RISKSThe fund is subject to risks resulting from the asset allocation decisions of the Investment Adviser. The fund is subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments. Fixed income investments entail issuer default and credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall and vice versa). This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. No target date fund is considered a completeretirement program and there is no guarantee any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through retirement. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' target dates.

IMPORTANT FUND INFORMATIONRelative positioning data presented in this commentary is based on the fund's primary benchmark (index) unless a secondary benchmarkis provided to assess performance.

INDICESIt is not possible to invest directly in an index. All indices representedare unmanaged. All indices include reinvestment of dividends and interest income unless otherwise noted.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based, market-value-weighted benchmark that measures the performance of the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. Sectors in the index include Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS, and CMBS.
