For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital

capital gain distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every
January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the previous
year.
The following information replaces similar information found in the
"Dividends, Capital Gains, and Taxes" section beginning on page 24.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on the
fund and its investments, and these taxes generally will reduce the
fund's distributions. However, if you meet certain holding period
requirements with respect to your fund shares, an offsetting tax
credit may be available to you. If you do not meet such holding period
requirements, you may still be entitled to a deduction for certain
foreign taxes. In either case, your tax statement will show more
taxable income or capital gains than were actually distributed by the
fund, but will also show the amount of the available offsetting credit
or deduction.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
"DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 15.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length
of time shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives
a capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and such shares are
held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the
loss equal to the amount of the capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by the fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not
as capital gains.
