PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE DEAR SHAREHOLDER: Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally very positive. These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in different types of markets. If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government. Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course, assure a profit or protect against a loss. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right for you. Best regards, Edward C. Johnson 3d PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value). CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10 YEAR YEARS YEARS Fidelity Fund 21.09% 74.10% 261.71% S&P 500(registered trademark) 26.07% 76.98% 293.40% Average Growth & Income Fund 19.74% 69.84% 227.71% CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one, five, or 10 years. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the average growth & income fund, which reflects the performance of 374 growth & income funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

As the chart shows, by June 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $36,171 - a 261.71% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same investment would have grown to $39,340 - a 293.40% increase. UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of growth in the long run and volatility in the short run. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain. (checkmark) FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW MARKET RECAP Strong corporate earnings and a favorable interest rate environment helped the U.S. stock market post strong returns for the 12 months ended June 30, 1995. The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks finished the 12-month period with a total return of 26.07% - well above its historical annual average of roughly 12%. With inflation posing little threat, interest rates fell during the first half of 1995. Large-capitalization stocks led the somewhat narrow market rally. While consumer nondurable and financial stocks generally performed well, technology companies - whose goods and services benefited from both corporate and consumer demand - posted the strongest earnings growth and stock price gains. In February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 4000 for the first time, and continued hitting record highs before closing the period at 4556.10. Returns from foreign markets were varied, as investors brought capital back to the U.S. Emerging foreign markets rebounded somewhat from Mexico's devaluation of the peso in December 1994. The Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Free Index was down 0.02% for the 12 months ended June 30. The Morgan Stanley EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far East) Index returned 1.65% for the year ended June 30. European markets have fared well through the first half of 1995 - after a difficult year in 1994 - while the Japanese market has continued to struggle. An interview with Beth Terrana, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Fund Q. BETH, HOW DID THE FUND DO OVER THE PAST YEAR? A. For the 12 months ended June 30, 1995, the fund had a total return of 21.09%. That outpaced the average growth and income fund, which returned 19.74% during the same period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Q. IT'S BEEN A STRONG PAST 12 MONTHS FOR THE STOCK MARKET. WHAT, SPECIFICALLY, DROVE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE? A. I would say that how the fund's investments broke down by sector or industry wasn't nearly as important to its performance as was a core group of stocks that were among the fund's largest investments through much of the year. It was these top 10 or 20 stocks that really drove performance. Several - such as British Petroleum, Scott Paper, and chemicals and plastics producer Hercules - were successful corporate restructuring stories. Other stocks, such as Philip Morris, were extremely cheap when I bought them, and have since risen in price to more closely reflect their growth rates. Yet another, American Cyanamid, benefited from a takeover - in this case by American Home Products. Q. DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS, TECHNOLOGY FAR AND AWAY HAS BEEN THE MARKET'S STRONGEST PERFORMING SECTOR. HAS THE FUND CAPITALIZED? A. It has. The fund had a 12.1% investment in technology stocks on June 30. In fact, IBM and Intel were the two largest positive contributors to the fund's performance over the past six months. I've talked about IBM before; the company continued to benefit from effective cost cutting and is generating a very strong cash flow. As for Intel, worldwide demand for computer chips shows no signs of slowing, and the company's earnings have exceeded most analysts' expectations. The overall technology story is simple: businesses worldwide are embracing technology as the most effective means to improve corporate productivity, which has led to rapid earnings growth for companies that provide technological goods and services. Actually, productivity improvement has become a central investing theme for the fund. Q. HOW SO? A. In order to thrive in the competitive global economy, businesses have to become the low-cost producers within their given industries. The way to do that is to improve productivity by roughly 5% to 8% a year, year in and year out. Many companies have completed the first step - cutting costs, mainly by downsizing their workforces. But at some point, you have to make your existing workforce substantially more productive, and technology does that for you. So many U.S. companies have realized this that our country has become the world's low-cost producer of goods and services. That makes U.S. manufacturers well positioned to benefit from a global economic recovery. Q. DOES THIS THEME PLAY OUT IN OTHER SECTORS OF THE FUND BESIDES TECHNOLOGY? A. Yes. I've maintained a substantial investment in traditional cyclical stocks - those that generally benefit from strong economic activity. These companies have taken the steps I just described, and I believe they're primed for strong earnings growth over the next few years. Examples include heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar, farm equipment producer Deere, and railroads such as Burlington Northern and CSX. Q. BETH, WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST INVESTING REGRET OVER THE PAST YEAR? A. That I didn't increase the fund's investments in financial stocks, namely banks, sooner. Last fall, I felt that bank stocks weren't cheap and that, in an environment of higher interest rates, banks would have a tougher time growing earnings. That's why the fund's investments in the financial sector totaled just 3.1% six months ago. As it turned out, banks were able to grow earnings through effective cost cutting and industry consolidation, and the stocks rallied. I have since increased the fund's stake in this sector to 14.0% through purchases of stocks such as Citicorp, Chemical Banking, Chase Manhattan and First Chicago. Because they've cleaned up their balance sheets, many banks are generating a lot of excess cash. They've been using this excess capital to buy back their own stocks, which obviously enhances shareholder value. Because of the steps banks have taken to improve their fiscal health, I believe they may have the ability to sustain solid earnings growth even in the event of a short-term downturn in the economy. Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1995? A. One thing that has helped the stock market recently is large inflows of cash. Corporations continue to buy back their own stocks and individual investors continue to pour money into the market. These supply/demand characteristics for stocks should remain positive. However, where the market goes from here will depend heavily on the direction of the economy and interest rates, and those are tough things to predict. I'll continue to focus on my core themes, and try to find new ways that the fund can profit from this theme of improving productivity. As always, I'll emphasize those companies with attractive stock valuations and solid prospects for earnings growth. FUND FACTS GOAL: to increase the value of the fund's shares over the long term by investing mainly in equity securities with good prospects for growth and current income START DATE: April 30, 1930 SIZE: as of June 30, 1995, more than $2.4 billion MANAGER: Beth Terrana, since August 1993; manager, Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Income, VIP: Equity-Income Portfolio, 1990-1993; Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio, 1985-1990; joined Fidelity in 1983 (checkmark) BETH TERRANA ON THE FUND'S "FARM THEME:" "I've positioned a portion of the fund to capitalize on what I believe is a favorable outlook for U.S. companies that export food and farm-related products. Often, when people think of selling U.S. goods in emerging markets in Asia and Latin America, they think of products like Coke, Pepsi and Marlboro cigarettes. But not many people talk about the inclusion of chicken and beef in the diet of people who live in these countries, and their efforts to upgrade their agricultural capabilities. "This theme has led the fund to invest in beef and pork producer IBP, fertilizer manufacturers such as Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan and Agrium, and farm equipment manufacturer Deere, among others. Not only are U.S. companies providing food for people in these countries, they're helping them help themselves."

AS A RESULT, NET INVESTMENT INCOME PER SHARE MAY REFLECT CERTAIN RECLASSIFICATIONS RELATED TO BOOK TO TAX DIFFERENCES. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the period ended June 30, 1995 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. Fidelity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund: SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities. INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information." INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the funds in the trust. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. 2. OPERATING POLICIES. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on settlement date. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission(the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more 2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price. 3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $3,335,789,000 and $2,764,139,000, respectively, of which U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated $159,872,000 and $142,128,000, respectively. 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2850% to .5200% for the period July 1, 1994 to July 31, 1994 and .2700% to .5200% for the period August 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during those periods, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .09%. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .41% of average net assets. DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or the fund's distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $21,000 for the period. TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. During the period July 1,1994 to December 31, 1994, FSC received fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,670,000 for the period. 5. SECURITY LENDING. The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. The fund receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against the loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. At period end, the value of the securities loaned and the value of collateral amounted to $23,968,000 and $24,498,000, respectively. 6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS. FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $453,000 under this arrangement. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Trustees of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust: Fidelity Fund, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of June 30, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the two years then ended, the six month period ended June 30, 1993 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1992. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust: Fidelity Fund as of June 30, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the two years then ended, the six month period ended June 30, 1993 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST OR SEND MONEY. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE DEAR SHAREHOLDER: Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally very positive. These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in different types of markets. If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government. Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course, assure a profit or protect against a loss. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right for you. Best regards, Edward C. Johnson 3d PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells securities that have grown in value). Fidelity Fifty had a 3% sales charge, which was waived beginning January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1996. CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 PAST 1 LIFE OF YEAR FUND Fidelity Fifty 30.26% 32.60% Fidelity Fifty (incl. 3% sales charge) 26.36% 28.62% S&P 500(registered trademark) 26.07% 24.62% Average Capital Appreciation Fund 22.17% n/a CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund began on September 17, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return, over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the average capital appreciation fund, which reflects the performance of over 145 capital appreciation funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

As the chart shows, by June 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $12,862 - a 28.62% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $12,462 - a 24.62% increase. UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of growth in the long run and volatility in the short run. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain. (checkmark) FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW MARKET RECAP Strong corporate earnings and a favorable interest rate environment helped the U.S. stock market post strong returns for the 12 months ended June 30, 1995. The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks finished the 12-month period with a total return of 26.07% - well above its historical annual average of roughly 12%. With inflation posing little threat, interest rates fell during the first half of 1995. Large-capitalization stocks led the somewhat narrow market rally. While consumer nondurable and financial stocks generally performed well, technology companies - whose goods and services benefited from both corporate and consumer demand - posted the strongest earnings growth and stock price gains. In February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 4000 for the first time, and continued hitting record highs before closing the period at 4556.10. Returns from foreign markets were varied, as investors brought capital back to the U.S. Emerging foreign markets rebounded somewhat from Mexico's devaluation of the peso in December 1994. The Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Free Index was down 0.02% for the 12 months ended June 30. The Morgan Stanley EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far East) Index returned 1.65% for the year ended June 30. European markets have fared well through the first half of 1995 - after a difficult year in 1994 - while the Japanese market has continued to struggle. An interview with Scott Stewart, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Fifty Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED, SCOTT? A. I'm pleased to say that the fund has done very well. Fidelity Fifty was designed to add long-term value over its peers and the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks rather than focus on any particular year. Having said that, over the past 12 months, the fund finished ahead of both the S&P 500 and its peer group. For the 12 months ended June 30, 1995, the fund had a total return of 30.26%, compared to the total return of 22.17% for the average capital appreciation fund tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Over the same 12 months, the S&P 500 had a total return of 26.07% Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND DO SO WELL? A. There were several key reasons behind the portfolio's strong performance. The primary source was individual stock selection. Basically, I've found that the stocks in the fund outperformed other stocks within their own industries and capitalization size range. The successful stock picking was a direct result of the strength of Fidelity's fundamental research. Secondary reasons included my discipline in striving to keep the portfolio relatively fully invested, and the portfolio's overweighting -relative to the S&P 500 - in technology stocks. Q. THE FUND'S SIZE HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE NEW ASSETS AS THEY COME IN? A. I use stock market futures to temporarily invest the new assets that are coming into the portfolio. I am always looking to buy stocks, but cash can come in faster than I can spend it. Buying the futures can ensure the portfolio will be fully invested in the stock market. Once the combination of cash and futures reaches a certain level, I sell the futures and buy a list of stocks. At the same time, I maintain a small position in cash and short-term investments because they help temper the portfolio's relatively high beta. Beta is a measure of a stock's - or a fund's - historical sensitivity in relation to the rest of the market. A fund with a higher beta likely will rise and fall more rapidly than the rest of the market. If I kept 100% of the fund invested in stocks, the fund probably would have an even higher beta. Q. LET'S GET BACK TO TECHNOLOGY . . . A. Technology investments - 24.0% of the fund at the end of the period - have been among the best performers both in the fund and the market as a whole. The fund benefited from having a heavier weighting in this sector than the S&P 500. Its investments were diversified within the sector, including such areas as computers, networking and telecommunications. As I said in the last report, I'm not making a bet on the technology sector, I'm just finding many attractive stocks that happen to be in the technology area. Earnings in these companies have been driven by both corporate and consumer demand. Of course, it's important to note that, historically, technology stocks have tended to be more volatile than the market as a whole. Q. WHAT ARE SOME TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE DONE WELL FOR THE FUND? A. Two of the top performers over the past six months have been Applied Materials and Credence Systems, both producers of semiconductor manufacturing and testing equipment. The semiconductor business is experiencing tremendous growth, and these companies should be a secondary beneficiary of this growth boom. Tellabs also did well. It's a manufacturing company that supplies switching equipment to the telecommunications industry. Many cellular equipment company stocks have soared over the past month or so; Tellabs is one of the leading suppliers of products that can help telephone companies upgrade their cellular networks for greater reliability and cost savings. The fund's investments in Compaq and IBM, both computer companies, and in Oracle, a database company that the fund no longer holds, also were positive contributors to performance. Q. WERE THERE INVESTMENTS OUTSIDE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT HELPED THE FUND? A. Certainly. A stock that I sold before the end of the period to take profits, American Home Products, a drug and pharmaceutical company, did well, as did Clark Equipment. Clark is an industrial equipment manufacturer that was taken over by Ingersoll-Rand; the fund benefited from holding Clark stock when the company was acquired. And the fund profited from its holdings in PepsiCo, one of the many large capitalization consumer nondurable stocks that did well during the period. Many investors have favored these investments because they are perceived to be recession-resistant; demand for these products doesn't vary much, regardless of the economic climate. Over the past six months, data has indicated that the U.S. economy has slowed down, hence the attraction of stocks like PepsiCo. In addition, PepsiCo has exhibited strong earnings in most of its businesses. Q. WHAT WERE SOME INVESTMENTS THAT DETRACTED FROM THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE? A. Nucor, a steel company, was one. I bought the stock at a time when steel prices were strengthening, and because the company offered a competitive cost structure. Even though the company had a backlog of orders, its stock price was hurt when steel prices began to drop after Mexican suppliers implemented aggressive pricing policies. Another one, Data General, a computer company, stumbled a bit as it was trying to restructure. And Michaels Stores, a home decorations and crafts specialty retailer, decided to cut prices, hurting short-term earnings prospects. By the end of the period, the fund had no investments in any of these stocks. Q. ONE OF THE FUND'S TOP 10 INVESTMENTS IS VODAFONE, A BRITISH COMPANY. WHAT SORT OF STRATEGY DO YOU PURSUE WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN AN OVERSEAS COMPANY? A. I invest abroad in the same way I invest in the U.S. - company by company. At times, foreign companies can offer better investment opportunities than U.S. firms. For example, while most telephone companies' stock prices have run up over the past few years, I believe there remains substantial upside for Vodafone stock, primarily due to its exposure to overseas cellular phone growth. I do recognize that foreign stocks can increase risk in the portfolio. For example, there can be additional currency risk in buying Vodafone compared to a U.S. company. When I consider purchasing a foreign stock, I evaluate this risk and may make the stock a smaller holding within the fund. In that sense, it's the same as reviewing the risks presented by a high-priced stock or one that is not easily traded. In addition, it's important to recognize that many U.S. companies are exposed to currency risk, because they sell or have operations overseas. Finally, foreign holdings also can improve the portfolio's diversification. Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS? A. The market rally we've seen since the beginning of the year has been led mainly by the larger capitalization companies. It is generally hoped that mid-cap and smaller company stocks, as well as foreign markets, will follow suit and perform well. For that to happen, particularly with small-cap stocks, we'll need to see signs of a rebound in the economy. If the Federal Reserve Board continues to drop short-term interest rates, which it did just after the end of the period, that could help the economy and smaller stocks. If short-term interest rates come down further, we could continue to see strength in the market. However, with this portfolio I don't try to predict the direction of the market. My goal will be to stay as fully invested as possible and to choose my investments stock by stock. FUND FACTS GOAL: to increase the value of the fund's shares by investing in the stocks of 50-60 companies START DATE: September 17, 1993 SIZE: as of June 30, 1995, more than $128 million MANAGER: Scott Stewart, since September 1993; founder and head of Fidelity's Structured Equity Group since 1987, when he joined Fidelity (checkmark) SCOTT STEWART ON PICKING STOCKS FOR A GROWING FUND: "As the assets in the fund grow, I'm faced with a challenge because I only can invest in a limited number of names. If I were managing a fund without that kind of structure, it would be easy to use the new assets to buy a new stock instead of asking myself whether I want to put more money into stocks that are already in the fund. As it is, the fund's investment objective provides important discipline, because if I'm not willing to put more money into the stocks in the fund, then I need to seriously consider selling them. I have to make sure I believe that every stock in the fund is a good one. "When new money comes into the fund, I look through the portfolio to see which positions I'd like to increase. I'm always trying to spend down the fund's growing cash position. I go through the stocks, and if a company's earnings forecasts have increased, if the stock price has dropped, or if there has been a positive new development, it's an easy decision to increase the weight of that stock in the fund. If I don't feel compelled to make a purchase with the new assets on a given day, then I use equity index futures contracts to track the broad performance of the market, start selling stocks, and look for new investments as replacements."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the period ended June 30, 1995 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. Fidelity Fifty (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund: SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities. INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information." INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the funds in the trust. 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures and options transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. 2. OPERATING POLICIES. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on settlement date. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, whose market 2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED value is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price. FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value is shown in the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using dealer-supplied valuations. 3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The repurchase agreements were dated June 30, 1995 and due July 3, 1995. The maturity values of the joint trading account investments were $26,258,451 at 6.15%. The investments in repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows: SUMMARY OF JOINT TRADING Number of dealers or banks 22 Maximum amount with one dealer or bank 17.1% Aggregate principal amount of agreements $15,088,144,000 Aggregate maturity amount of agreements $15,095,872,000 Aggregate market value of collateral $15,428,420,000 Coupon rates of collateral 0.0% to 13 3/4% Maturity dates of collateral 7/31/95 to 2/15/25 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $141,396,475 and $99,820,871, respectively. The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period amounted to $81,671,675 and $67,311,666, respectively. 5. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2850% to .5200% for the period July 1, 1994 to July 31, 1994 and .2700% to .5200% for the period August 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during those periods, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of (plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. The fund's performance adjustment took effect in September 1994. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .64% of average net assets after the performance adjustment. SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales charges of $60,600 on sales of shares of the fund. Beginning January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1996, FDC has voluntarily waived the sales charge (3% of the offering price) on sales of shares. TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. During the period July 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, FSC received fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $57,628 for the period. 6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS. FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $14,845 under this arrangement. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Trustees of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Fifty: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust: Fidelity Fifty, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of June 30, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period September 17, 1993 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 1994. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust: Fidelity Fifty as of June 30,1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period September 17, 1993 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P. Boston, Massachusetts August 3, 1995 DISTRIBUTIONS The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Fifty voted to pay on August 7, 1995, to shareholders of record at the opening of business on August 4, 1995, a distribution of $.69 derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities and a dividend of $.06 from net investment income. A total of 0.91% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax. A total of 100% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year qualifies for the dividends-received deductions for corporate shareholders. The fund will notify shareholders in January 1996 of these percentages for use in preparing 1995 income tax returns.
