Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Contrafund II seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

• Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
• Investing in securities of companies whose value it believes is not fully recognized by the public.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Performance

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns (before and after taxes) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Year-by-Year Returns

The returns in the chart do not include the effect of the fund's front-end sales charge. If the effect of the sales charge were reflected, returns would be lower than those shown.

<R>The returns in the following table include the effect of the fund's 3.00% maximum applicable front-end sales charge. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund. The annual fund operating expenses provided below for the fund do not reflect the effect of any reduction of certain expenses during the period.

Shareholder fees (paid by the investor directly)

<R>Maximum sales charge (load) on purchases (as a % of offering price)	3.00%A</R>
Sales charge (load) on reinvested distributions	None
Deferred sales charge (load) on redemptions	None

^A Lower sales charges may be available for fund balances over $250,000.

Annual fund operating expenses (paid from fund assets)

<R>Management fee	0.81%</R>
<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	None </R>
<R>Other expenses	0.30%</R>
<R>Total annual fund operating expenses	1.11%</R>

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the 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 would have been <R>0.99</R>%.

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the 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:

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Contrafund II seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in securities of companies whose value it believes is not fully recognized by the public. The types of companies in which the fund may invest include companies experiencing positive fundamental change, such as a new management team or product launch, a significant cost-cutting initiative, a merger or acquisition, or a reduction in industry capacity that should lead to improved pricing; companies whose earnings potential has increased or is expected to increase more than generally perceived; companies that have enjoyed recent market popularity but which appear to have fallen temporarily out of favor for reasons that are considered non-recurring or short-term; and companies that are undervalued in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained to any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Contrafund II seeks capital appreciation.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

Prospectus

<R>To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.</R>

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Buying and Selling Shares

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the fund through a retirement account (such as an IRA or an account funded through salary deduction) or an investment professional. Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity retirement products. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:

• Your name;
• Your account number;
• Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
• Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone or electronically, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted based on criteria established by Fidelity.

Fund Minimums
Initial Purchase	$2,500
For certain Fidelity retirement accountsA	$500
Subsequent Purchase	$250
Through regular investment plans	$100
Balance	$2,000
For certain Fidelity retirement accountsA	$500

^A Fidelity Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Rollover IRA, Simplified Employee Pension-IRA, and Keogh accounts.

There is no minimum balance or initial or subsequent purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory Services^SM , a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's offering price or the fund's NAV, depending on whether you pay a sales charge.

If you pay a sales charge, your price will be the fund's offering price. When you buy shares of the fund at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and invests the rest in the fund. If you qualify for a sales charge waiver, your price will be the fund's NAV.

The offering price of the fund is its NAV divided by the difference between one and the applicable sales charge percentage. The maximum sales charge is 3.00% of the offering price.

Prospectus

Your shares will be bought at the next offering price or NAV, as applicable, calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

<R>The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.</R>

<R>For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies</R> and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

<R>If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.</R>

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

• You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
• The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
• You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
• You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
• The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

• 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 retirement accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
• Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
• You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

• The fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
• The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
• <R>The fund may refuse any exchange purchases for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.</R>

Prospectus

• Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
• The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
• Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
• If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number, there may be additional requirements.

The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

• Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
• Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 5000, Cincinnati, Ohio 45273-8692.

Prospectus

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

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 retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in the 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 NAV 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.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in August and December.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for the fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends^® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes,<R> certain of</R> the fund's <R>distributions, including</R> dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains<R>,</R> are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P 500.

Management fee = Basic fee +/- Performance adjustment

The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For June 2002, the group fee rate was <R>0.28</R>%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The basic fee for the fiscal year ended June 30,<R> 2002</R> was 0.58% of the fund's average net assets.

The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.

The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.

The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002,</R> was <R>0.81</R>% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

You may pay a sales charge when you buy your shares.

FDC collects the sales charge.

The fund's sales charge may be reduced if you buy shares directly through Fidelity (that is, through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account) or through prototype or prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by FMR or FMR Corp. The amount you invest in the fund, plus the value of your current fund balance, must fall within the ranges shown below. Purchases made through, or with assistance or intervention from, a non-Fidelity investment professional are not eligible for a sales charge reduction.

	Sales Charge
Ranges	As a % of offering price	As an approximate % of net amount invested
$0 - $249,999	3.00%	3.09%
$250,000 - $499,999	2.00%	2.04%
$500,000 - $999,999	1.00%	1.01%
$1,000,000 or more	none	none

FDC may pay a portion of sales charge proceeds to securities dealers who have sold the fund's shares, or to others, including banks and other financial institutions (qualified recipients), under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales activities. The sales charge paid to qualified recipients is 1.50% of the fund's offering price.

The sales charge will also be reduced by the percentage of any sales charge you previously paid on investments in other Fidelity funds or by the percentage of any sales charge you would have paid if the reductions in the table above had not existed. These sales charge credits only apply to purchases made in one of the ways listed below, and only if you continuously owned Fidelity fund shares, maintained a Fidelity brokerage core, or participated in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement^SM Program.

1. By exchange from another Fidelity fund.

2. With proceeds from a transaction in a Fidelity brokerage core, including any free credit balance, core money market fund, or margin availability, to the extent such proceeds were derived from redemption proceeds from another Fidelity fund.

3.As a participant in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement Program when shares are bought through plan-qualified loan repayments, and for exchanges into and out of the Managed Income Portfolio.

The fund's sales charge will not apply:

1. If you buy shares as part of an employee benefit plan having more than 200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3 million in plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds.

2. To shares in a Fidelity account bought with the proceeds of a distribution from an employee benefit plan, provided that at the time of the distribution, the employer or its affiliate maintained a plan that both qualified for waiver (1) above and had at least some of its assets invested in Fidelity-managed products. (Distributions transferred to an IRA must be transferred within 60 days from the date of the distribution. All other distributions must be transferred directly into a Fidelity account.)

<R>9. If you are a bank trust officer, registered representative, or other employee of a qualified recipient, as defined on page <Click Here>.</R>

10. To contributions and exchanges to a prototype or prototype-like retirement plan sponsored by FMR Corp. or FMR and which is marketed and distributed directly to plan sponsors or participants without any assistance or intervention from any intermediary distribution channel.

11. If you invest through a non-prototype pension or profit-sharing plan that maintains all of its mutual fund assets in Fidelity mutual funds, provided the plan executes a Fidelity non-prototype sales charge waiver agreement confirming its qualification.

12. If you are a registered investment adviser (RIA) buying for your discretionary accounts, provided you execute a Fidelity RIA load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. Except for correspondents of National Financial Services LLC (NFS), this waiver is available only for shares bought directly from Fidelity, and is unavailable if the RIA is part of an organization principally engaged in the brokerage business.

13. If you are a trust institution or bank trust department buying for your non-discretionary, non-retirement fiduciary accounts, provided you execute a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only for shares bought either directly from Fidelity or through a bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust department or institution is part of an organization not principally engaged in banking or trust activities.

More detailed information about waivers (1), (2), (5), (10), and (11) is contained in the statement of additional information (SAI). A representative of your plan or organization should call Fidelity for more information.

To qualify for a sales charge reduction or waiver, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive sales concessions and payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, qualified recipients must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;

(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;

(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies;

(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities); or

(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval:

(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)).

(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market<R> or short-term bond </R>funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market<R> or short-term bond</R> funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. <R>The money market central funds</R> seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. <R>The money market central</R> funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

Debt Securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Fund's Rights as an Investor. The fund does not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.

Futures and Options. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500^SM  Index (S&P 500^®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. The fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's<R>^®</R> (S&P^®), or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their NAV. Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Short Sales "Against the Box" are short sales of securities that a fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund may receive commissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the fund or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook) and Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), electronic communication networks (ECNs) in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. Prior to August 28, 2000, FMR placed trades with National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction quality must, however, be comparable to that of other qualified broker-dealers.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended June 30, <R>2002</R> and 2001, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were <R>259</R>% and <R>168</R>%, respectively. Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, or changes in FMR's investment outlook.

The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$6,687,348</R>, <R>$3,592,570</R>, and <R>$3,561,547</R>, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels throughout the year.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>252,864</R>, $<R>161,258</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to NFS. NFS is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, this amounted to approximately <R>3.78</R>% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately <R>7.73</R>% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFS is a result of the low commission rates charged by NFS.

During the fiscal years ended June 30,<R> 2002, </R>2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$0,</R> $<R>12,064, </R>and <R>$156,266</R>, respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002,</R> 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$4,070, $1,606</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to FBSJ. FBSJ is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, this amounted to approximately <R>0.06</R>% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately <R>0.14</R>% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, FBSJ is a result of the low commission rates charged by FBSJ.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, </R>2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$0, $3,091</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to REDIBook. REDIBook is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal year ended June 30,<R> 2002,</R> the fund paid $<R>6,323,736</R> in brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services involving approximately <R>$3,603,014,737</R> of transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts <R>(including proprietary accounts</R>) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or <R>investment accounts</R> are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax <R>and an</R> after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of the fund's maximum sales charge or the effect of the fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding the fund's sales charge or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Moving Averages. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On June 28, 2002, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were<R> $9.84 and $10.11</R>, respectively, for the fund.

Historical Fund Results. The following tables show the fund's returns for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2002.

The fund has a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% which is included in the average annual and cumulative returns.

<R>After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.</R>

The following table shows <R>the change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Contrafund II during the life of the fund, assuming all distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of different investments have not been factored into the figures below. The table also shows the</R> income and capital elements of the fund's cumulative return. The table compares the fund's return to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM  (DJIA^SM ), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

<R>A hypothetical $10,000 investment in Contrafund II on March 31, 1998 (commencement of operations) would have been valued on June 30, 2002 at $</R>11,505 including the effect of the fund's maximum sales charge.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund on March 31, 1998, assuming the maximum sales charge had been in effect, the net amount invested in fund shares was $9,700. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $<R>13,323</R>. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to <R>$39</R> for dividends and $<R>3,075</R> for capital gain distributions.

Performance Comparisons. The fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

The fund may compare its performance to that of the <R>S&P 500</R>, a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals<R>, </R>as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity <R>publications </R>provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance res</R>ults.

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron<R>^®</R> number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data.

Momentum Indicators indicate the fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of Ju<R>ne 30, 2002, FMR advised over $48 billion in municipal fund assets, $188 billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $187 billion in money market fund assets, $450 billion in equity fund assets, and $20 bil</R>lion in international fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

Pursuant to Rule 22d-1 under the 1940 Act, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) exercises its right to waive the fund's front-end sales charge on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions or in connection with a fund's merger with or acquisition of any investment company or trust. In addition, FDC has chosen to waive the fund's front-end sales charge in certain instances due to sales efficiencies and competitive considerations. The sales charge will not apply:

1. to shares purchased in connection with an employee benefit plan (including the Fidelity-sponsored 403(b) and corporate IRA programs but otherwise as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act) maintained by a U.S. employer and having more than 200 eligible employees, or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds, or as part of an employee benefit plan maintained by a U.S. employer that is a member of a parent-subsidiary group of corporations (within the meaning of Section 1563(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, with "50%" substituted for "80%") any member of which maintains an employee benefit plan having more than 200 eligible employees, or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds, or as part of an employee benefit plan maintained by a non-U.S. employer having 200 or more eligible employees, or a minimum of $3,000,000 in assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds, the assets of which are held in a bona fide trust for the exclusive benefit of employees participating therein;

2. to shares purchased by an insurance company separate account used to fund annuity contracts purchased by employee benefit plans (including 403(b) programs, but otherwise as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act), which, in the aggregate, have either more than 200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in assets invested in Fidelity funds;

4. to shares purchased by a charitable organization (as defined for purposes of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) investing $100,000 or more;

5. to shares purchased for a charitable remainder trust or life income pool established for the benefit of a charitable organization (as defined for purposes of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code);

6. to shares purchased by an investor participating in the Fidelity Trust Portfolios program (these investors must make initial investments of $100,000 or more in the Trust Portfolios funds and must, during the initial six-month period, reach and maintain an aggregate balance of at least $500,000 in all accounts and subaccounts purchased through the Trust Portfolios program);

10. to shares purchased by a bank trust officer, registered representative, or other employee of a qualified recipient. Qualified recipients are securities dealers or other entities, including banks and other financial institutions, who have sold the fund's shares under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales activities;

11. to shares purchased by contributions and exchanges to the following prototype or prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by FMR Corp. or FMR and that are marketed and distributed directly to plan sponsors or participants without any intervention or assistance from any intermediary distribution channel: The Fidelity Traditional IRA, The Fidelity Roth IRA, The Fidelity Rollover IRA, The Fidelity SEP-IRA and SARSEP, The Fidelity SIMPLE IRA, The Fidelity Retirement Plan, Fidelity Defined Benefit Plan, The Fidelity Group IRA, The Fidelity 403(b) Program, The Fidelity Investments 401(a) Prototype Plan for Tax-Exempt Employers, and The CORPORATEplan^SM  for Retirement (Profit Sharing and Money Purchase Plan);

13. to shares purchased by a registered investment adviser (RIA) for his or her discretionary accounts, provided he or she executes a Fidelity RIA load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only for shares purchased directly from Fidelity, without a broker, unless purchased through a brokerage firm which is a correspondent of NFS. The waiver is unavailable, however, if the RIA is part of an organization principally engaged in the brokerage business, unless the brokerage firm in the organization is an NFS correspondent; or

14. to shares purchased by a trust institution or bank trust department for its non-discretionary, non-retirement fiduciary accounts, provided it executes a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only for shares purchased either directly from Fidelity or through a bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust department or institution is part of an organization not principally engaged in banking or trust activities.

The fund's sales charge may be reduced to reflect sales charges previously paid, or that would have been paid absent a reduction for some purchases made directly with Fidelity as noted in the prospectus, in connection with investments in other Fidelity funds. This includes reductions for investments in prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by FMR or FMR Corp., which are listed above.

The 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 the 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.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, short-term capital gains, and non-qualifying dividends, the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. A portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities and securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from state and local taxation.

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains. As of June 30, 2002<R>,</R> the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $<R>240,037,000</R>. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire June 30, <R>2010</R>, is available to offset future capital gains.

Returns of Capital. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.

Foreign Tax Credit or Deduction. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

The committee monitors compliance with, and acts as the administrator of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The Nominating and Administration Committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders.

^A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31,<R> 2001</R> for <R>264 </R>funds of <R>56 trusts</R> in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: <R>J. Michael Cook, $111,000;</R> Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; <R>Marie L. Knowles, $111,000</R>; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and <R>William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734.</R> Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: <R>J. Michael Cook, $30,723;</R> Ralph F. Cox, $30,723; Ned C. Lautenbach, $<R>38,103</R>; and William O. McCoy, $38,103.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

As of June 30, 2002, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than<R> 1% o</R>f the fund's total outstanding shares.

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ<R> (the Investment Advisers)</R>, FDC, and t<R>he fund</R> have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate, and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at <R>$738</R> billion of group net assets - the approximate level for June 2002 - was <R>0.2816</R>%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to <R>$738</R> billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.30%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for June 2002, the fund's annual basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Fund	Group Fee Rate		Individual Fund Fee Rate		Basic Fee Rate
<R>Contrafund II	0.2816%	+	0.30%	=	0.5816%</R>

One-twelfth of the basic fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

Computing the Performance Adjustment. The basic fee for Contrafund II is subject to upward or downward adjustment, depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record over the same period of the S&P 500. The performance period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.

The performance comparison is made at the end of each month.

Each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 0.01% (up to a maximum difference of ±10.00) is multiplied by a performance adjustment rate of 0.02%. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period.

One twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the fund's average net assets over the performance period, giving a dollar amount which will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.

The fund's performance is calculated based on change in NAV. For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if reinvested in that fund's shares at the NAV as of the record date for payment.

The record of the S&P 500 is based on change in value and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's performance compared to the investment record of the index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of the S&P 500.Moreover, the comparative investment performance of the fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002,</R> 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FMR management fees of <R>$8,349,862</R>, <R>$10,438,927</R> and <R>$7,984,222</R>, respectively. The amount of these management fees includes both the basic fee and the amount of the performance adjustment, if any. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the upward performance adjustments amounted to <R>$2,403,647</R>, <R>$1,779,344</R>, and <R>$914,876</R>, respectively.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns.

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has primary responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for the fund, FMR pays FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee (including any performance adjustment) payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FMRC are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002and 2001, FMR paid FMRC fees of $2,973,059 and $1,965,374, respectively.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIJ. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services for a fund to FMR Far East.

<R>F</R>or providing discretionary investment management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee (including any performance adjustment) with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 105% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advisory and order execution services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ for the past three fiscal years are shown in the table below.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30	FMR U.K.	FMR Far East	FIJ

<R>BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS</R>

<R></R>Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of the fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of the fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with the fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Adviser and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R></R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviews the fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including the fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of the fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to the fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and excluding marketing expenses.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

<R>DISTRIBUTION SERVICES</R>

<R>The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.</R>

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, 2001, and 2000, FDC collected sales charge revenue of $311,465, $<R>1,198,609,</R> and <R>$3,112,893</R>, respectively, on purchases of fund shares and, of these amounts, retained $311,465, $1,198,609, and $3,112,893, respectively.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Contrafund II shares.

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FSC also collects fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program<R> (QTP</R>), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0365% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0155% of average net assets between $500 million and $3 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00075% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee, not including reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of $60,000 per year.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for related out-of-pocket expenses, of <R>$267,372, $337,268</R>, and <R>$343,717,</R> respectively.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

For the fiscal years ended June 30,<R> 2002</R>, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FSC <R>$954, $5,158, and $2,767</R>, respectively, for securities lending.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity Contrafund II is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 27, 1984. Currently, there are four funds in the trust: Fidelity Contrafund II, Fidelity Fund, Fidelity Fifty^®, and Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodians. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston, Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The Bank of New York and <R>JPMorgan Chase Bank</R>, each headquartered in New York, also may serve as special purpose custodians of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. The Boston branch of the fund's custodian leases its office space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into, was consistent with prevailing market rates. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Auditor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, serves as independent accountant for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Fidelity Fifty^® seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

• Normally investing primarily in common stocks of companies that it believes have the greatest potential for growth.
• Normally investing in 50-60 stocks.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using both fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Performance

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns <R>(before and after taxes) </R>are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund. The annual fund operating expenses provided below for the fund do not reflect the effect of any reduction of certain expenses during the period.

Shareholder fees (paid by the investor directly)

Sales charge (load) on purchases and reinvested distributionsA	None
Deferred sales charge (load) on redemptions	None
Redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days (as a % of amount redeemed)B	0.75%

^A The fund may impose a 3.00% sales charge on purchases upon 60 days notice to shareholders.

^<R>B A redemption fee may be charged when you sell your shares or if your fund balance falls below the balance minimum for any reason, including solely due to declines in the fund's net asset value per share.</R>

Annual fund operating expenses (paid from fund assets)

<R>Management fee	0.77%</R>
<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	None</R>
<R>Other expenses	0.35%</R>
<R>Total annual fund operating expenses	1.12%</R>

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition,through arrangements with the fund's <R>custodian</R>, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce <R>custodian</R> expenses. Including these reductions, the total fund operating expenses would have been 1.09%.

<R>Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the fund's annual operating expenses are exactly as described in the fee table.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Fidelity Fifty seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks of companies that it believes have the greatest potential for growth. FMR normally invests in 50-60 stocks.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Fidelity Fifty seeks capital appreciation.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

Prospectus

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Buying and Selling Shares

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the fund through a retirement account (such as an IRA or an account funded through salary deduction) or an investment professional. Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity retirement products. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

Balance	$2,000
For certain Fidelity retirement accountsA	$500

^A Fidelity Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Rollover IRA, Simplified Employee Pension-IRA, and Keogh accounts.

There is no minimum balance or initial or subsequent purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory Services^SM , a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

<R>The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.</R>

<R>For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term </R>or <R>other </R>excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors <R>that</R>, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Prospectus

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees <R>the </R>fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

<R>The fund will deduct a 0.75% short-term trading fee from the redemption amount if you sell your shares or your shares are redeemed for failure to maintain the balance minimum after holding them less than 30 days. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions.</R>

Trading fees are paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

• You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
• The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
• You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
• You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

• The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

• 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 retirement accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
• Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
• You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

• The fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
• The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.

Prospectus

• The fund may refuse <R>any exchange purchases for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse</R> exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
• Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
• The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
• Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
• If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number, there may be additional requirements.

The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Policies

The following <R>policies apply</R> to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

• Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal program<R>s</R>).
• Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in <R>a</R> household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

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 retirement accounts), for any reason<R>,</R> including solely due to declines in the 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 NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, 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.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in August and December.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for the fund:

Shareholder Information - continued

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends^® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains<R>,</R> are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund Services - continued

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P 500.

Management fee = Basic fee +/- Performance adjustment

The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For June <R>2002</R>, the group fee rate was <R>0.28</R>%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The basic fee for the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002 </R>was <R>0.58</R>% of the fund's average net assets.

The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.

The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.

The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, was <R>0.77</R>% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an on-going basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related <R>statement of additional information (</R>SAI<R>)</R>, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;

(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies;

(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities); or

(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

(i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment limitation (2)).

(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money up to 15% of the fund's net assets to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)

(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that (a) no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer, and (b) the fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other regulated investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.

With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market <R>or short-term bond</R> funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

Debt Securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Fund's Rights as an Investor. The fund does not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.

Futures and Options. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500^SM  Index (S&P 500^®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. The fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's^® (S&P^®), or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (<R>the </R>1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value <R>per share (NAV)</R>. Others are continuously offered at <R>NAV</R>, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Short Sales "Against the Box" are short sales of securities that a fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund may receive commissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the fund or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook) <R>and Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), </R>electronic communication network<R>s</R> (ECN<R>s</R>) in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. Prior to August 28, 2000, FMR placed trades with National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction quality must, however, be comparable to that of other qualified broker-dealers.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 50% and 158%, respectively.Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, or changes in FMR's investment outlook.

The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000,</R> the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$1,067,640, $1,339,596, and $2,203,471</R>, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels throughout the year.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000</R>, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$21,300, $32,959, and $0, </R>respectively, to NFS. NFS is paid on a commission basis.During the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, this amounted to approximately <R>2.00</R>% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately<R> 5.14</R>% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions.The difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFS is a result of the low commission rates charged by NFS.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000</R>, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $0<R>,</R> $24,964, and <R>$136,301,</R> respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal years ended June 30,<R> 2002, 2001, and 2000</R>, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$0, $8,639, and $2,797, </R>respectively, to FBSJ. FBSJ is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000</R>, the fund paid brokerage commissions of <R>$5, $171, and $0,</R> respectively, to REDIBook. REDIBook is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, this amounted to approximately<R> 0</R>% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately <R>0</R>% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, the fund paid $<R>1,011,638</R> in brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services involving approximately $<R>460,596,739</R> of transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts <R>(including proprietary accounts) </R>managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds <R>or investment accounts </R>are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable <R>to </R>each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax <R>and an</R> after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of the fund's short-term trading fee or the effect of the fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding the fund's short-term trading fee or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Moving Averages. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On <R>June 28, 2002</R>, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were <R>$</R>18.10 and $<R>16.89</R>, respectively, for the fund.

Historical Fund Results. The following tables show the fund's returns for the fiscal periods ended June 30, <R>2002</R>.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.

The following table shows the <R>change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Fifty^® during the life of the fund, assuming all distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of different investments have not been factored into the figures below. The table also shows the</R> income and capital elements of the fund's cumulative return. The table compares the fund's return to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM  (DJIA^SM ), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

<R>A hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Fifty on September 17, 1993 (commencement of operations) would have been valued on June 30, 2002 at $31,192</R>.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund on September 17, 1993, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $<R>23,150</R>. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to $<R>680</R> for dividends and $<R>9,170</R> for capital gain distributions.

Performance Comparisons. The fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

The fund may compare its performance to that of the <R>Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)</R>, a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals<R>,</R> as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity<R> publications</R> provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance results.</R>

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron^® number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data.

Momentum Indicators indicate the fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of June 30, <R>2002</R>, FMR advised over $<R>48</R> billion in municipal fund assets, $<R>188</R> billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $<R>187 </R>billion in money market fund assets, $<R>450</R> billion in equity fund assets, and $<R>20 </R>billion in international fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The 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 the 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.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, short-term capital gains, and non-qualifying dividends, the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. A portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities and securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from state and local taxation.

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

As of June 30, <R>2002</R>, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $<R>47,307,000</R>. This loss carryforward, <R> of which $24,074,000 and $23,233,000 will expire on June 30, 2009, and 2010, respectively,</R> is available to offset future capital gains.

Returns of Capital. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.

Foreign Tax Credit or Deduction. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

<R>**</R> During the period from November 1, 2000 through June 12, 2001, Mr. Stavropoulos served as a Member of the Advisory Board. Effective June 13, 2001, Mr. Stavropoulos serves as a Member of the Board of Trustees.

^A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, <R>2001 </R>for <R>264 </R>funds<R> of 56 trusts</R> in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, <R>2001</R>, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: <R>J. Michael Cook, $111,000;</R> Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; <R>Marie L. Knowles, $111,000;</R> Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $<R>141,000</R>; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and <R>William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734</R>. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: <R>J. Michael Cook, $30,723</R>; Ralph F. Cox, $<R>30,723</R>; Ned C. Lautenbach, $<R>38,103; and</R> William O. McCoy, $<R>38,103</R>.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

<R>As of June 30, 2002, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the fund's total outstanding shares.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2002, the following owned of record 5% or more (up to and including 25%) of the fund's outstanding shares:</R>

<R>General Motors Corporation, New York, NY (9.27%).</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ <R>(the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC)</R>, <R>and the fund</R> have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, <R>establish</R> procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate, and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $<R>738</R> billion of group net assets - the approximate level for June <R>2002 </R>- was<R> 0.2816</R>%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $<R>738</R> billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is<R> 0.30</R>%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for June <R>2002</R>, the fund's annual basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Fund	Group Fee Rate		Individual Fund Fee Rate		Basic Fee Rate
<R>Fidelity Fifty	0.2816%	+	0.30%	=	0.5816%</R>

One-twelfth of the basic fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

Computing the Performance Adjustment. The basic fee for Fidelity Fifty is subject to upward or downward adjustment, depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record over the same period of the S&P 500. The performance period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.

The performance comparison is made at the end of each month.

Each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 0.01% (up to a maximum difference of ±10.00) is multiplied by a performance adjustment rate of 0.02%. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period.

One twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the fund's average net assets over the performance period, giving a dollar amount which will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.

The fund's performance is calculated based on change in NAV. For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if reinvested in that fund's shares at the NAV as of the record date for payment.

The record of the S&P 500 is based on change in value and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's performance compared to the investment record of the index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of the S&P 500. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of the fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000</R>, the fund paid FMR management fees of $3,773,951, $2,803,750, and $3,229,466, respectively. The amount of these management fees includes both the basic fee and the amount of the performance adjustment, if any. For the fiscal years ended June 30,<R> 2002, 2001, and 2000, the upward performance adjustments amounted to $935,763, $229,451, and $4,556, respectively.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns.

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has primary responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for the fund, FMR pays FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee (including any performance adjustment) payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FMRC are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal year<R>s </R>ended June 30<R>, 2002 and 2001</R>, FMR paid FMRC fees of <R>$1,887,235 and $638,366,</R> respectively.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIJ. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing discretionary investment management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee (including any performance adjustment) with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 105% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advisory and order execution services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table:

Fiscal Year Ended June 30	FMR U.K.	FMR Far East	FIJ
<R>2002	$ 5,482	$ 19,334	$ 10,507</R>
<R>2001	$ 703	$ 3,199	$ 1,543</R>
<R>2000	$ 13,839	$ 18,219,	$ 2,390</R>

For discretionary investment management and execution of portfolio transactions, no fees were paid to <R>FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ </R>on behalf of the fund for the past three fiscal years.

<R>BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS</R>

<R>Matters Considered by the Board.</R> The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees</R>. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of the fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of the fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with the fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R>Benefits to Shareholders</R>. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R>Investment Compliance and Performance</R>. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods</R>. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R>Nature and Quality of Other Services.</R> The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R>Expenses</R>. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R>Profitability</R>. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including the fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of the fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to the fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and excluding marketing expenses.

<R>Economies of Scale.</R> The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers</R>. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

<R>Conclusion</R>. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with <R>FDC</R>, an affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

During the fiscal years ended June 30,<R> 2002, 2001, and 2000,</R> FDC collected sales charge revenue of <R>$0, $0, and $605,873,</R> respectively, on purchases of fund shares and, of these amounts, retained <R>$0, $0, and $605,782, </R>respectively.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Fidelity Fifty shares.

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FSC also collects fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity Fifty is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 27, 1984. Currently, there are four funds in the trust: Fidelity Contrafund^® II, Fidelity Fifty, Fidelity Fund, and Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodians. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The Bank of New York and JPMorgan Chase Bank, each headquartered in New York, also may serve as special purpose custodians of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Auditor.<R> PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP</R>, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts<R>,</R> serves as independent accountant for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Growth & Income II Portfolio seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

• Normally investing a majority of assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation.
• Potentially investing in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities, as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities <R>involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities</R> can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Performance

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns <R>(before and after taxes)</R> are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Average Annual Returns

<R>After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.</R>

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund. The annual fund operating expenses provided below for the fund do not reflect the effect of any reduction of certain expenses during the period.

Shareholder fees (paid by the investor directly)

Sales charge (load) on purchases and reinvested distributions	None
Deferred sales charge (load) on redemptions	None

Annual fund operating expenses (paid from fund assets)

<R>Management fee	0.48%</R>
<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	None</R>
<R>Other expenses	0.42%</R>
<R>Total annual fund operating expenses	0.90%</R>

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian expenses. Including <R>these</R> reductions, the total fund operating expenses would have been <R>0.89</R>%.

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the 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:

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Growth & Income II Portfolio seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests a majority of the fund's assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities, as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Prospectus

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Growth & Income II Portfolio seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the <R>fund</R> is <R>not open for business</R>, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on <R>those days</R>. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

Prospectus

<R>The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.</R>

<R>For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term</R> or <R>other</R> excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges,from market timers or investors <R>that</R>, in FMR's opinion,may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees <R>the</R> fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

• You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
• The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
• You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
• You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
• The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

Shareholder Information - continued

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

• 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 retirement accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
• Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
• You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

• The fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
• The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
• The fund may refuse <R>any exchange purchases for any reason. For example</R>, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
• Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
• The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
• Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.

Prospectus

• If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number, there may be additional requirements.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

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 retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in the 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 NAV 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.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends in March, June, September, and December and pays capital gain distributions in August and December.

Distribution Options

<R>When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for the fund:</R>

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends^® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, <R>certain of the</R> fund's <R>distributions, including</R> dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains<R>,</R> are taxable to you as ordinary income, while <R>certain of</R> the fund's <R>distributions, including</R> distributions of long-term capital gains<R>,</R> are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund Services - continued

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For June 200<R>2</R>, the group fee rate was <R>0.28</R>%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.20%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, was <R>0.48</R>% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;

(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;

<R>(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies;</R>

(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities); or

<R>(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.</R>

(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval:

(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)).

(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans, receivables, or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market <R>or short-term bond</R> funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market <R>or short-term bond</R> funds managed by FMR <R>or its affiliates. The money market central funds</R> seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The <R>money market central</R> funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

<R>It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.</R>

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Fund's Rights as an Investor. The fund does not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.

Futures and Options. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500^SM  Index (S&P 500^®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. The fund has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI are not fundamental policies and may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the characteristics of direct ownership.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's^® (S&P^®), or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Mortgage Securities are issued by government and non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security, the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from the same underlying mortgage.

Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress. Fannie Mae is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than government issues. Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages, usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase similar securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of <R>1933 (the 1933 Act)</R>, or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. <R>A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage</R> Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

<R>Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value per share (NAV). Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.</R>

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Short Sales. Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. The fund currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund may receive commissions that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the fund or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook) and Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), electronic communication networks (ECNs) in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. Prior to August 28, 2000, FMR placed trades with National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction quality must, however, be comparable to that of other qualified broker-dealers.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended June 30,<R> 2002 and 2001</R>, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were <R>54</R>% and <R>79</R>%, respectively.

The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>121,601</R>, $<R>143,664</R>, and $<R>156,748</R>, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels throughout the year.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>3,894</R>, $<R>6,929</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to NFS. NFS is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, this amounted to approximately <R>3.22</R>% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately <R>6.37</R>% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFS is a result of the low commission rates charged by NFS.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>0</R>, $<R>1,314</R>, and $<R>9,693</R>, respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>0</R>, $<R>83</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to REDIBook. REDIBook is paid on a commission basis.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the fund paid $<R>106,859</R> in brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services involving approximately $<R>78,223,639</R> of transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, yield, if applicable, and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Yield Calculations. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. Dividends from equity securities are treated as if they were accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. For the fund's investments denominated in foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one month period, whichever is earlier. Capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to an investor's account, or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax <R>and an</R> after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of the fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding the fund's small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns, yields, <R>if applicable, </R>and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Moving Averages. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On June 28, 2002, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were $<R>8.54</R> and $<R>8.88</R>, respectively, for the fund.

Historical Fund Results. The following table<R>s</R> show the fund's returns for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2002.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.

The following table shows the <R>change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Growth & Income II during the life of the fund, assuming all distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of different investments have not been factored into the figures below. The table also shows the </R>income and capital elements of the fund's cumulative return. The table compares the fund's return to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM  (DJIA^SM ), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

A hypothetical $10,000 investment in Growth & Income II on December 28, 1998 (commencement of operations) would have been valued on June 30, 2002 at $<R>8,166</R>.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund on December 28, 1998, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $<R>10,356</R>. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to $<R>300</R> for dividends and $<R>50</R> for capital gain distributions.

Performance Comparisons. The fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

The fund may compare its performance to that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals<R>,</R> as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity <R>publications</R> provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance results.</R>

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron^® number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, the fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.

Momentum Indicators indicate the fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of June 30, 2002, FMR advised over $<R>48</R> billion in municipal fund assets, $<R>188</R> billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $<R>187 </R>billion in money market fund assets, $<R>450</R> billion in equity fund assets, and $<R>20</R> billion in international fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

The 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 the 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.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, short-term capital gains, and non-qualifying dividends, the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. A portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities and securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from state and local taxation.

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

As of June 30, <R>2002</R>, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $<R>10,297,000</R>. This loss carryforward, of which, $<R>51,000</R> and $<R>10,246,000 </R>will expire on June 30, <R>2008</R> and <R>2010</R>, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains.

Returns of Capital. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.

Foreign Tax Credit or Deduction. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

It acts as the administrative committee under the Retirement Plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It monitors the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee monitors compliance with, and acts as the administrator of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees.

Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $30,723; Ralph F. Cox, $30,723; Ned C. Lautenbach, $38,103; and William O. McCoy, $38,103.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

As of <R>June 30, 2002</R>, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than <R>1</R>% of the fund's total outstanding shares.

As of <R>June 30, 2002</R>, the following owned of record 5% or more (up to and including 25%) of the fund's outstanding shares:

<R>NRG Northeast Affiliate Services, Inc., Minneapolis, MN (5.94%).</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii)<R> </R>the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ<R> (the Investment Advisers)</R>, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing <R>agent</R>, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, as applicable, the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears <R>these costs</R>. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $<R>738</R> billion of group net assets - the approximate level for June 2002 - was <R>0.2816</R>%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $<R>738</R> billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.20%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for June 2002, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Fund	Group Fee Rate		Individual Fund Fee Rate		Management Fee Rate
<R>Growth & Income II	0.2816%	+	0.20%	=	0.4816%</R>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FMR management fees of $<R>726,811</R>, $<R>793,064</R>, and $<R>976,762</R>, respectively.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of th<R>e fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance.</R> FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has primary responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for the fund, FMR pays FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FMRC are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, FMR paid FMRC fees of $<R>363,416</R> and $<R>191,086</R>, respectively.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIJ. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing discretionary investment management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 105% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advisory and order execution services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to <R>FMR U.K.</R> for the past three fiscal years are shown in the <R>following</R> table.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30	FMR U.K.

<R>BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS</R>

<R></R>Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of the fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of the fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with the fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R></R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including the fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of the fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to the fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and excluding marketing expenses.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

<R>Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Growth & Income II shares.</R>

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FSC also collects fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualifiedtuition program (Q<R>TP</R>), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the <R>QTP</R>'s, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0365% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0155% of average net assets between $500 million and $3 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00075% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee, not including reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of $60,000 per year.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for related out-of-pocket expenses, of $<R>61,031</R>, $<R>62,863</R>, and $<R>84,510</R>, respectively.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000,the fund paid FSC $<R>109</R>, $<R>87</R>, and $<R>95</R>, respectively, for securities lending.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 27, 1984. Currently, there are four funds in the trust: Fidelity<R>^®</R> Contrafund^® II, Fidelity Fifty^®, Fidelity Fund, and Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Fidelity^® Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

• Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
• Potentially investing a portion of assets in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities.
• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
• Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
• Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
• Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities <R>involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities </R>and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Performance

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns <R>(before and after taxes)</R> are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

Average Annual Returns

<R>After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances.

Fee Table

<R>The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund. The annual fund operating expenses provided below for the fund do not reflect the effect of any reduction of certain expenses during the period.</R>

Shareholder fees (paid by the investor directly)

Sales charge (load) on purchases and reinvested distributions	None
Deferred sales charge (load) on redemptions	None

Annual fund operating expenses (paid from fund assets)

<R>Management fee	0.37%</R>
<R>Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	None</R>
<R>Other expenses	0.22%</R>
<R>Total annual fund operating expenses	0.59%</R>

<R>A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the 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 </R>would have been <R>0.53%</R>.

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the 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.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Fidelity Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks. FMR, to some extent, limits the emphasis on the fund's growth objective by investing a portion of the fund's assets in securities selected for their current income characteristics. FMR may from time to time invest a portion of the fund's assets in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Prospectus

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Fidelity Fund seeks long-term capital growth. In order to provide a reasonable current return to shareholders on their capital, the fund to some extent limits the emphasis on the growth objective by investing a portion of its assets in securities selected for their current income characteristics. The fund invests primarily in common stocks or securities convertible into common stocks. The fund, in seeking to achieve a reasonable current return to shareholders, may from time to time invest a portion of its assets in various types of debt securities. During temporary periods when, in FMR's judgment, market conditions warrant, adjustments favoring more defensive securities may be made.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the <R>fund is not open for business,</R> the value of the fund's assets may be affected on<R> those </R>days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Investments in shares of Fidelity Fund through the Fidelity GoalPlanner^® program may be subject to lower fund minimums. There is no minimum balance or initial or subsequent purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory Services^SM , a mutual fund or a <R>qualified tuition</R> program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

<R>The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.</R>

<R>For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term or other </R>excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges,<R> from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, </R>may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Prospectus

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees <R>the</R> fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

• You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
• The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
• You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
• You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
• The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

• 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 retirement accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.

Prospectus

• Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but may take up to seven days to be processed if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
• Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
• Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
• Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.

• The fund may refuse <R>any</R> exchange purchases<R> for any reason</R>. <R>For example,</R> <R>the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in</R> FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
• Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
• The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
• Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
• If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number, there may be additional requirements.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year.

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 retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in the 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 NAV 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.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Fund Services - continued

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For June <R>2002</R>, the group fee rate was <R>0.28%</R>. The individual fund fee rate is 0.09%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended June 30, <R>2002</R>, was <R>0.37%</R> of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety. The fund may not:

(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;

(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;

(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies;

(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities);

(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments;

(9) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management.

(10) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval:

(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)).

(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page <R><Click Here></R>.

The fund intends to comply with the requirements of Section 12(d)(1)(G)(i)(IV) of the 1940 Act.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) may employ in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans, receivables, or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market <R>or short-term bond funds</R>. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market<R> or short-term bond funds</R> managed by FMR or its affiliates. <R>The money market central funds</R> seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The <R>money market central</R> funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Fund's Rights as an Investor. The fund does not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.

Futures and Options. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500^SM  Index (S&P 500^®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. The fund <R>has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. </R>The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the characteristics of direct ownership.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Some may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's^® (S&P^®), or Fitch Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Mortgage Securities are issued by government and non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security, the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from the same underlying mortgage.

Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress. Fannie Mae is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than government issues. Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages, usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase similar securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933<R> (the 1933 Act)</R>, or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

<R></R>Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

<R>Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.</R>

<R>Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.</R>

<R></R>Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value per share (NAV). Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

<R>The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.</R>

Short Sales. Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. The fund currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any commissions; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Ordinarily commissions are not charged on OTC orders because the fund pays a spread which is included in the cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost and the cost to the fund. When the fund executes an OTC order with an electronic communications network, an alternative trading system, or a non-market maker, a commission is charged because there is no spread on the trade.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive commissions for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether commissions are reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of commissions or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund<R> may receive commissions</R> that are in excess of the amount of commissions that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR will make a good faith determination that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

FMR is authorized to allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account assistance received in the distribution of shares of the fund or other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook)<R> and Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), electronic communication networks (ECNs) </R>in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. Prior to August 28, 2000, FMR placed trades with National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction quality must, however, be comparable to that of other qualified broker-dealers.

The Trustees of the fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended June 30,<R> 2002 and 2001</R>, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were <R>155</R>% and <R>217</R>%, respectively.

The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $37,086,000, $42,389,000, and $2,419,000,</R> respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels throughout the year.

<R>During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $1,022,000, $1,740,000, and $0, respectively, to NFS. NFS is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, this amounted to approximately 2.75% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving approximately 3.98% of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFS is a result of the low commission rates charged by NFS.</R>

<R>During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $0, $263,000, and $585,000, respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis. </R>

<R>During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $0, $0, and $34,000, respectively, to FBSJ. FBSJ is paid on a commission basis. </R>

During the fiscal years ended <R>June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000,</R> the fund paid brokerage commissions of $<R>0</R>, $<R>43,000</R>, and $<R>0</R>, respectively, to REDIBook. REDIBook is paid on a commission basis.

<R>During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the fund paid $34,750,000 in brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services involving approximately $22,479,444,000 of transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.</R>

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the fund could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts <R>(including proprietary accounts)</R> managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds <R>or investment accounts</R> are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's <R>NAV</R> is the value of a single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, yield, if applicable, and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Yield Calculations. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. Dividends from equity securities are treated as if they were accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. For the fund's investments denominated in foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one month period, whichever is earlier. Capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to an investor's account, or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.

Return Calculations. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. <R>Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax and an after-tax basis. Returns </R>may or may not include the effect of the fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding the fund's small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns, yields, if applicable, and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

Net Asset Value. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

Moving Averages. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On June 28, <R>2002, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were $26.63 and $27.59, </R>respectively, for the fund.

<R>Historical Fund Results. The following table shows the fund's returns for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2002.</R>

<R>After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending upon individual circumstances. After-tax returns are not relevant if shares are held in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.</R>

<R>	Average Annual Returns</R>
<R>Fund	One Year	Five Years	Ten Years</R>
<R>Fidelity Fund			</R>
<R>Return Before Taxes	-20.78%	4.69%	11.79%</R>
<R>Return After Taxes on Distributions	-21.02%	2.76%	9.02%</R>
<R>Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares	-12.75%	3.57%	8.82%</R>
<R>	Cumulative Returns</R>
<R>Fund	One Year	Five Years	Ten Years</R>
<R>Fidelity Fund	-20.78%	25.75%	204.89%</R>

The following table shows the<R> change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Fund during the 10-year period ended June 30, 2002, assuming all distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of different investments have not been factored into the figures below. The table also shows t</R>he income and capital elements of the fund's cumulative return. The table compares the fund's return to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM  (DJIA^SM ), and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the fund's return compared to the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

A hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Fund on July 1, 1992 would have been valued on June 30, 2002 at <R>$</R>30,489.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund on July 1,<R> 1992</R>, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000<R>. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $</R>29,005<R>. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to $</R>1,759<R> for dividends and $10,178 </R>for capital gain distributions. The fund did not distribute any capital gains during the period.

<R>Performance Comparisons</R>. The fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of any dividends, interest, and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in the securities included in the index.

The fund may compare its performance to that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee an investor's principal or return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such information may include information about current economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and periodicals<R>,</R> as they relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity <R>publications</R> provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its performance results.</R>

<R>The fund may be advertised as part of a program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered. These programs may advertise performance results.</R>

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron<R>^®</R> number, and CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Volatility. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, the fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.

Momentum Indicators indicate the fund's price movements over specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.

As of June 30,<R> 2002, FMR advised over $48 billion in municipal fund assets, $188 billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $187 billion in money market fund assets, $450 billion in equity fund assets, and $20 </R>billion in international fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.

The fund may be advertised as an investment choice under the Fidelity College Savings Plan mutual fund option. Advertising may contain illustrations of projected future college costs based on assumed rates of inflation and examples of hypothetical performance. Advertising for the Fidelity College Savings Plan mutual fund option may be used in conjunction with advertising for the Fidelity College Savings Plan brokerage option, a product offered through <R>FBS LLC</R>.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The 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 the 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.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, short-term capital gains, and non-qualifying dividends, the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. A portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities and securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from state and local taxation.

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

As of June 30, <R>2002</R>, the fund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $<R>1,749,301,000</R>. This loss carryforward, all of which will expire on June 30, <R>2010</R>, is available to offset future capital gains.

Returns of Capital. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold.

Foreign Tax Credit or Deduction. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.

Tax Status of the Fund. The fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

^A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, <R>2001 for 264</R> funds of 56 trusts in the complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $111,000; Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $26,734. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $30,723; Ralph F. Cox, $30,723; Ned C. Lautenbach, $38,103; and William O. McCoy, $38,103.

^<R>B Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. The amounts required to be deferred by each non-interested Trustee are as follows: J. Michael Cook, $2,410; Ralph F. Cox, $2,410; Phyllis Burke Davis, $2,410; Robert M. Gates, $2,410; Donald J. Kirk, $2,410; Marie L. Knowles, $2,410; Ned C. Lautenbach, $2,410; Marvin L. Mann, $3,061; and William O. McCoy, $2,410; and William S. Stavropoulos, $3,372. Certain of the non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation from the fund includes accrued voluntary deferred compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $962; Ralph F. Cox, $962; Phyllis Burke Davis, $528; Ned C. Lautenbach, $962; and William O. McCoy, $962.</R>

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

<R>As of June 30, 2002, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the fund's total outstanding shares.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

<R>FMR, </R>FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East,<R> FIJ (the Investment Advisers),</R> Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC)<R>, and the fund</R> have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent<R> bears these costs.</R> Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at <R>$738</R> billion of group net assets - the approximate level for June <R>2002</R> - was <R>0.2816</R>%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $<R>738</R> billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.09%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for June <R>2002</R>, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Fund	Group Fee Rate		Individual Fund Fee Rate		Management Fee Rate
<R>Fidelity Fund	0.2816%	+	0.09%	=	0.3716%</R>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000, </R>the fund paid FMR management fees of $<R>44,836,000</R>, $<R>56,682,000</R>, and <R>$55,605,000,</R> respectively.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has primary responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for the fund, FMR pays FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FMRC are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

<R>On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal years ended </R>June 30, 2002 and 2001, FMR paid FMRC fees of $22,420,247 and $13,080,353, respectively.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., and FMR Far East. On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIJ. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States and<R>,</R> FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing discretionary investment management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

• FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
• FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 105% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advisory and order execution services for a fund to FMR Far East.

For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ for the past three fiscal years are shown in the <R>following table</R>.

<R>Fiscal Year Ended June 30	FMR U.K.	FMR Far East	FIJ</R>
<R>2002	$ 289,257	$ 178,756	$ 97,869</R>
<R>2001	$ 151,766	$ 465,773	$ 248,878</R>
<R>2000	$ 890,103	$ 1,199,811	$ 290,694</R>

For discretionary investment management and execution of portfolio transactions, no fees were paid to FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ on behalf of the fund for the past three fiscal years.

<R>BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS</R>

<R></R>Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of the fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of the fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, and the allocation of brokerage to firms that sell Fidelity fund shares, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with the fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

<R>Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.</R>

<R>In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:</R>

<R></R>Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

<R></R>Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

<R></R>The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

<R></R>Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

<R></R>Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

<R></R>Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including the fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of the fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of the fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to the fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and excluding marketing expenses.

<R></R>Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

<R></R>Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair, reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Fidelity Fund shares.

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FSC also collects fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a <R>qualified tuition</R> program <R>(QTP)</R>, as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the <R>QTP's</R>, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0365% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0155% of average net assets between $500 million and $3 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00075% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee, not including reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of $60,000 per year.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, <R>2002, 2001, and 2000,</R> the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for related out-of-pocket expenses, of $970,000, $1,099,000, and $1,084,000, respectively.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

<R>For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the fund paid FSC $12,000, $18,000, and $8,000, respectively, for securities lending.</R>

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity Fund is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 27, 1984. Currently, there are four funds in the trust: Fidelity Contrafund^® II, Fidelity Fifty, Fidelity Fund, and Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodians. <R>JPMorgan Chase Bank, 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York,</R> is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The Bank of New York, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies,<R> and Members of</R> the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Auditor. <R>PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts</R>, serves as independent accountant for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, 200<R>2</R>, and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 24. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 25. Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc. ("FSC") is appointed transfer agent, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold FSC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Trust, including by a shareholder, which names FSC and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not result from FSC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FSC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FSC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from FSC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a result of FSC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FSC to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of FSC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
