<R>A Effective April 30, 1997, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 2.50%. These arrangements may be discontinued by FMR at any time.</R>

<R>A portion of the brokerage commissions that a fund pays is used to reduce that fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with each fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the total fund operating expenses are shown in the table below.</R>

<R>This </R>example helps you compare the cost of investing in the funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

<R>Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and each fund's annual operating expenses 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:</R>

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above $2,000 to keep your fund position open ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Features and Policies" section on page P-77.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in a fund's NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the last calculated NAV, minus the short-term trading fee for the Select stock funds, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
