Historical Fund Results. The following tables show the Select money market fund's 7-day yield and each fund's returns for the fiscal periods ended February 28, 2003. Each Select fund has a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% (eliminated effective September 22, 2003, after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) which is included in the average annual and cumulative returns.

The following information replaces all information under the heading "Buying, Selling, and Exchanging Information" beginning on page 40.

On October 12, 1990, the Select funds changed their sales charge policy from a 2% sales charge upon purchase and a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption, to a 3% sales charge upon purchase. If you purchased shares prior to that date, when you redeem those shares a trading fee will be deducted and a deferred sales charge of 1% of this net redemption amount will be deducted. The deferred sales charge does not apply to exchanges between Select funds.

A fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.
