The following information replaces the "Shareholder Fees" section of the "Fee Table" on page 4. SHAREHOLDER FEES (PAID BY THE INVESTOR DIRECTLY) Sales charge (load) on None purchases and reinvested distributions Deferred sales charge (load) None on redemptions Redemption fee on shares held 0.75% less than 90 days that are redeemed before March 20, 2000 (as a % of amount redeemed) Redemption fee on shares held 1.50% less than 90 days that are redeemed on or after March 20, 2000 (as a % of amount redeemed) Annual account maintenance $12.00 fee (for accounts under $2,500) The following information replaces the second paragraph found under the heading "Selling Shares" in the "Buying and Selling Shares" section on page 12. The fund will deduct a short-term trading fee of 0.75% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares before March 20, 2000 after holding them less than 90 days, and will deduct a short-term trading fee of 1.50% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares on or after March 20, 2000 after holding them less than 90 days. This fee is paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and is 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. SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIDELITY(registered trademark) AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND (FORMERLY FIDELITY EMERGING GROWTH FUND) A FUND OF FIDELITY MT. VERNON STREET TRUST JANUARY 29, 1999 STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES PARAGRAPH (III) IN THE "INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 2. (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)). THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES PARAGRAPH (V) FOUND IN THE "INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 2. (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) acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.) THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE "INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS" SECTION UNDER THE HEADING "EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 3. 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. For example, many foreign countries are less prepared than the United States to properly process and calculate information related to dates from and after January 1, 2000. As a result, some foreign markets, brokers, banks or securities depositories could experience at least temporary disruptions, which could result in difficulty buying and selling securities in certain foreign markets and pricing foreign investments, and foreign issuers could fail to pay timely dividends, interest or principal. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS INFORMATION FOUND IN THE "PERFORMANCE" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 12. The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund has authorized an increase in the redemption fee (payable to the fund) from 0.75% to 1.50% of the amount redeemed on shares held less than 90 days that are redeemed on or after March 20, 2000. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE "PERFORMANCE" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 12. CALCULATING HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows performance for the fund. Returns do not include the effect of the fund's 0.75% short-term trading fee, applicable to shares held less than 90 days that are redeemed before March 20, 2000. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE "PERFORMANCE" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 12. Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund on December 28, 1990, 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 $24,879. 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 $20 for dividends and $11,890 for capital gain distributions. The figures in the table do not include the effect of the fund's 3.00% sales charge (which was in effect during the period January 1, 1992 through September 30, 1998) or its 0.75% short-term trading fee applicable to shares held less than 90 days that are redeemed before March 20, 2000.
