Money Market Mutual Fund Overflow

The Money Market Mutual Fund Overflow ("Money Market Overflow") is a component of the FDIC Sweep Program which provides that, for cash balances that exceed FDIC insurance coverage limits, or cannot be swept to a Program Bank due to either a lack of bank capacity or unavailability of FDIC insurance, your funds will instead be swept into the Money Market Overflow feature. Funds swept into the Money Market Overflow will be held in the Fidelity Government Money Market Fund* – Class S (FZSXX | Get Prospectus).

Once your funds are placed in the Money Market Overflow fund, these funds will be the first funds that are used to settle any debits or withdrawals from your account.

Note: Funds held in the Money Market Overflow are not FDIC Insured. The MMKT Overflow is not available for purchase as a stand-alone investment but is a component of the FDIC Insured Deposit Sweep Program.

Please see the FDIC Insured Deposit Sweep Program Disclosure for more details.
