Portfolio Turnover [Heading] Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 55 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate 55.00%
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
1 year $ 19
3 years 63
5 years 111
10 years $ 254
Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities included in the Fidelity International Multifactor Index℠ and in depositary receipts representing securities included in the index. The Fidelity International Multifactor Index℠ is designed to reflect the performance of stocks of large- and mid-capitalization developed international companies that have attractive valuations, high quality profiles, positive momentum signals, lower volatility than the broader developed international equity market, and lower correlation to the U.S. equity market. The Fidelity International Multifactor Index SM is constructed using Fidelity's rules-based proprietary index methodology. Stocks in the universe are given a composite score based on four factors: valuation, quality, momentum, and volatility. Stocks with the highest composite scores within each sector and country are identified for inclusion in the index. Within each sector, stocks are weighted based on their market capitalization in the broader developed international equity market plus an overweight adjustment that is equal for all constituents within that sector. The index will overweight the five sectors with the lowest correlation to U.S. large capitalization stocks and underweight the six sectors with the highest correlation to U.S. large capitalization stocks. Effective December 11, 2025, derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to the investments above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the fund's 80% policy, consistent with the fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives.
