Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Adam Kutas, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -3.48%, -3.67%, -4.23% and -4.24%, respectively (excluding sales charges), outperforming the -8.16% return of the MSCI EM (Emerging Market) Europe, Middle East and Africa Index. Security selection in financials and telecommunications services helped the fund's relative performance, with the top two contributors being an out-of-benchmark position in HSBC Bank and good timing with Dubai Financial Market. HSBC served as a counterparty for investments in consumer staples companies in Saudi Arabia, a country that doesn't allow foreign investment in Saudi firms. My strategy focused on overweighting investments in countries that I call "free riders," which aren't tied to other economies but have benefited from the global decline in the cost of capital. I favored "free riders" over countries and companies tied to growth in China or those closely aligned with "anchor" countries, meaning developed countries like the United States or those in the European Union. I underweighted resources-heavy Russia and South Africa. Conversely, stock selection in materials hurt relative performance, with the biggest individual detractor being an investment in South African gold producer AngloGold Ashanti.

Note to shareholders: The fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa markets. As of October 31, 2014, the fund did not have more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Institutional Class, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $49,109,257 and $63,629,040, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $48 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,567.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $215 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities is disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

Annual Report

Management Fees - continued

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Adam Kutas, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -3.09%, outperforming the -8.16% return of the MSCI EM (Emerging Market) Europe, Middle East and Africa Index. Security selection in financials and telecommunications services helped the fund's relative performance, with the top two contributors being an out-of-benchmark position in HSBC Bank and good timing with Dubai Financial Market. HSBC served as a counterparty for investments in consumer staples companies in Saudi Arabia, a country that doesn't allow foreign investment in Saudi firms. My strategy focused on overweighting investments in countries that I call "free riders," which aren't tied to other economies but have benefited from the global decline in the cost of capital. I favored "free riders" over countries and companies tied to growth in China or those closely aligned with "anchor" countries, meaning developed countries like the United States or those in the European Union. I underweighted resources-heavy Russia and South Africa. Conversely, stock selection in materials hurt relative performance, with the biggest individual detractor being an investment in South African gold producer AngloGold Ashanti.

Note to shareholders: The fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa markets. As of October 31, 2014, the fund did not have more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

D Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

E Investment income per share reflects a large, non-recurring dividend which amounted to $.04 per share. Excluding this non-recurring dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been 1.51%.

F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

G Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Institutional Class, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $49,109,257 and $63,629,040, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $48 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,567.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $215 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities is disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,426. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $1,064.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $257 for the period.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Adam Kutas, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -3.21%, outperforming the -8.16% return of the MSCI EM (Emerging Market) Europe, Middle East and Africa Index. Security selection in financials and telecommunications services helped the fund's relative performance, with the top two contributors being an out-of-benchmark position in HSBC Bank and good timing with Dubai Financial Market. HSBC served as counterparty for investments in consumer staples companies in Saudi Arabia, a country that doesn't allow foreign investment in Saudi firms. My strategy focused on overweighting investments in countries that I call "free riders," which aren't tied to other economies but have benefited from the global decline in the cost of capital. These can be frontier countries, where companies with low debt have been able to borrow at cheap interest rates. I favored "free riders" over countries and companies tied to growth in China or those whose prospects are closely aligned with "anchor" countries, meaning developed countries such as the United States or those in the European Union. I underweighted resources-heavy Russia and South Africa. Conversely, stock selection in materials hurt relative performance, with the biggest individual detractor being an investment in South African gold producer AngloGold Ashanti.

Note to shareholders: The fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa markets. As of October 31, 2014, the fund did not have more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Institutional Class, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $49,109,257 and $63,629,040, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $48 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,567.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $215 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities is disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,426. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Class T

$ 595

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $1,064.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $257 for the period.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund

eme474043

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

Management Fees - continued

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Samuel Polyak and James Hayes, who became Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity Advisor® Emerging Markets Discovery Fund on June 21, 2014, as part of the Fidelity Stock Selector Emerging Markets Group: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T and Class C shares returned 0.31%, 0.05% and -0.42%, respectively (excluding sales charges), trailing the 2.14% gain of the MSCI Emerging Markets SMID Cap Index. Versus the index, stock selection was particularly challenging in South Korea, Taiwan and China. At the stock level, it hurt to have an average overweighting in South African lender African Bank Investments Limited, which suffered amid ongoing sluggishness in South Africa's credit cycle. We sold the fund's stake during the period. Taiwan-based medical equipment supplier Pacific Hospital Supply was another big relative detractor that we sold from the fund by period end. China-based oil & gas exploration & production firm Hilong Holding hurt the most, as it missed earnings expectations. Stock selection in India by far added the most value, but as a group we reduced the fund's exposure here. A non-index stake in Punjab National Bank was the top individual contributor for the period, and we sold it by period end. Other top contributors that we sold or reduced were India-based credit rating services firm Credit Analysis & Research and KEPCO Plant Services & Engineering, a South Korean company that provides maintenance and operations services for power plants.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Emerging Markets Discovery and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses - continued

assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $133,129,300 and $154,307,954, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .85% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $594 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $152 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-year period, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of the fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class C, Institutional Class and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.70%, 1.95%, 2.45%, 1.45%, and 1.45% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the potential to further rationalize the Fidelity fund lineup with the possibility of achieving savings for the funds and Fidelity; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; and (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Samuel Polyak and James Hayes, who became Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity Advisor® Emerging Markets Discovery Fund on June 21, 2014, as part of the Fidelity Stock Selector Emerging Markets Group: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 0.61%, trailing the 2.14% gain of the MSCI Emerging Markets SMID Cap Index. Versus the index, stock selection was particularly challenging in South Korea, Taiwan and China. At the stock level, it hurt to have an average overweighting in South African lender African Bank Investments Limited, which suffered amid ongoing sluggishness in South Africa's credit cycle. We sold the fund's stake during the period. Taiwan-based medical equipment supplier Pacific Hospital Supply was another big relative detractor that we sold from the fund by period end. China-based oil & gas exploration & production firm Hilong Holding hurt the most, as it missed earnings expectations. Stock selection in India by far added the most value, but as a group we reduced the fund's exposure here. A non-index stake in Punjab National Bank was the top individual contributor for the period, and we sold it by period end. Other top contributors that we sold or reduced were India-based credit rating services firm Credit Analysis & Research and KEPCO Plant Services & Engineering, a South Korean company that provides maintenance and operations services for power plants.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Emerging Markets Discovery and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net

assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $133,129,300 and $154,307,954, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .85% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $594 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $152 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $22,418. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-year period, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe.

Annual Report

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of the fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class C, Institutional Class and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.70%, 1.95%, 2.45%, 1.45%, and 1.45% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the potential to further rationalize the Fidelity fund lineup with the possibility of achieving savings for the funds and Fidelity; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; and (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Sam Polyak and James Hayes, who became Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity® Emerging Markets Discovery Fund on June 21, 2014, as part of the Fidelity Stock Selector Emerging Markets Group: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned 0.61%, trailing the 2.14% gain of the MSCI Emerging Markets SMID Cap Index. Versus the index, stock selection was particularly challenging in South Korea, Taiwan and China. At the stock level, it hurt to have an average overweighting in South African lender African Bank Investments Limited, which suffered amid ongoing sluggishness in South Africa's credit cycle. We sold the fund's stake during the period. Taiwan-based medical equipment supplier Pacific Hospital Supply was another big relative detractor that we sold from the fund by period end. China-based oil & gas exploration & production firm Hilong Holding hurt the most, as it missed earnings expectations. Stock selection in India by far added the most value, but as a group we reduced the fund's exposure here. A non-index stake in Punjab National Bank was the top individual contributor for the period, and we sold it by period end. Other top contributors that we sold or reduced were India-based credit rating services firm Credit Analysis & Research and KEPCO Plant Services & Engineering, a South Korean company that provides maintenance and operations services for power plants.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Emerging Markets Discovery and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses - continued

assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .85% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $594 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $152 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending - continued

represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $22,418. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by investors' risk-taking and subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Turning to bonds, late-period strength in the U.S. dollar took its toll on performance: The Barclays® Global Aggregate GDP Weighted Index gained 1.09% for the year, lagging the 4.14% return of the Barclays® U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Global corporate debt (+3%) fared relatively better, but still lagged the broad U.S. bond market.

Comments from John Carlson, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Total Emerging Markets Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 3.56%, compared with 0.98% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and 3.53% for the Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Composite IndexSM. Versus the Composite index, the fund's overweighting in equities, which underperformed, and underweighting in strong-performing EM debt detracted. However, the biggest contribution came from security selection among equities. Here, the equity sleeve's top individual contributor was South Korean cosmetics firm AMOREPACIFIC Group. Over the past year, the stock price tripled, benefiting from rapidly increasing demand for makeup among Chinese consumers, especially via e-commerce and duty-free sales. Conversely, positioning in Russia hurt results, including an investment in market-leading bank Sberbank. Turning to EM debt, underweighting Russia helped. We notably reduced exposure here in the first half of the period amid rising geopolitical uncertainty that caused a steep sell-off, although we added to our position shortly after that happened. On the flip side, it hurt to largely avoid Argentina.

Note to shareholders: Effective October 1, 2014, Per Johansson and Douglas Chow were no longer Co-Portfolio Managers of the fund, and Co-Portfolio Managers Gregory Lee and Tim Gannon became responsible for the energy and information technology subportfolios, respectively.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Total Emerging Markets and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures

Annual Report

Investment Valuation - continued

approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, foreign government and government agency obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year

depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation

$ 10,884,326

Gross unrealized depreciation

(4,096,936)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $42,055 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $9,141 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $78,871,035 and $87,196,124, respectively.

Annual Report

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $699 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $130 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $202. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 29% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the funds' Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the funds' sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the funds were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the funds at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index and, in the case of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund, peer group for the most recent one-year period, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. For Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund, a peer group comparison is not shown below.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit each fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Annual Report

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the total expense ratio of each class of each fund, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of each fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class C, Institutional Class and the retail class of Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.70%, 1.95%, 2.45%, 1.45%, and 1.45% through December 31, 2014.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.65%, 1.90%, 2.40%, 1.40%, and 1.40% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of each fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Management Fees - continued

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from S. Joseph Wickwire II, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Global Commodity Stock Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -5.41%, -5.65%, -6.06% and -6.13%, respectively (excluding sales charges), underperforming the -4.55% return of the equity benchmark, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Commodity Producers Sector Capped Index, and the broader global equity market, as measured by the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index. Commodity stocks saw broadly positive and negative periods during the year. In August, we entered a period where concerns about China, Europe and the Middle East drove broader commodity prices down, and that negative sentiment persisted into period end. Versus the industry benchmark, the largest detractor was within the challenged coal industry, where it was costly to hang with Peabody Energy. Stock picking in aluminum, steel and energy-industry drillers also detracted. On the positive side, good stock picks in fertilizers, energy exploration & production, construction machinery were relative positives. The largest contribution came from fertilizers, especially overweightings in CF Industries Holdings and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Global Commodity Stock and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to

ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $284,939,275 and $349,828,265, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .70% of the Fund's average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $12,848 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $630 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash)

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $180,323. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $8,577 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $2,753.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 13% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trusts and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one- and three-year periods, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

The Board has discussed with FMR the fund's underperformance (based on the December 31, 2013 data presented herein) and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's underperformance. The Board noted that the fund's performance has improved for more recent periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class B ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from S. Joseph Wickwire II, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Global Commodity Stock Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -5.16%, underperforming the -4.55% return of the equity benchmark, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Commodity Producers Sector Capped Index, and the broader global equity market, as measured by the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index. Commodity stocks saw broadly positive and negative periods during the year. In August, we entered a period where concerns about China, Europe and the Middle East drove broader commodity prices down, and that negative sentiment persisted into period end. Versus the industry benchmark, the largest detractor was within the challenged coal industry, where it was costly to hang with Peabody Energy. Stock picking in aluminum, steel and energy-industry drillers also detracted. On the positive side, good stock picks in fertilizers, energy exploration & production, construction machinery were relative positives. The largest contribution came from fertilizers, especially overweightings in CF Industries Holdings and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Global Commodity Stock and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $284,939,275 and $349,828,265, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .70% of the Fund's average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $12,848 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $630 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash)

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending - continued

against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $180,323. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $8,577 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $2,753.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 13% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trusts and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one- and three-year periods, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

The Board has discussed with FMR the fund's underperformance (based on the December 31, 2013 data presented herein) and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's underperformance. The Board noted that the fund's performance has improved for more recent periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund

csi1009029

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class B ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from S. Joseph Wickwire II, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Global Commodity Stock Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -5.16%, underperforming the -4.55% return of the equity benchmark, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Commodity Producers Sector Capped Index, and the broader global equity market, as measured by the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index. Commodity stocks saw broadly positive and negative periods during the year. In August, we entered a period where concerns about China, Europe and the Middle East drove broader commodity prices down, and that negative sentiment persisted into period end. Versus the industry benchmark, the largest detractor was within the challenged coal industry, where it was costly to hang with Peabody Energy. Stock picking in aluminum, steel and energy-industry drillers also detracted. On the positive side, good stock picks in fertilizers, energy exploration & production, construction machinery were relative positives. The largest contribution came from fertilizers, especially overweightings in CF Industries Holdings and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Global Commodity Stock and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $284,939,275 and $349,828,265, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .70% of the Fund's average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $12,848 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $630 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash)

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $180,323. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $8,577 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $2,753.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 13% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one- and three-year periods, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

The Board has discussed with FMR the fund's underperformance (based on the December 31, 2013 data presented herein) and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's underperformance. The Board noted that the fund's performance has improved for more recent periods.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class B ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Ramona Persaud, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Global Equity Income Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 10.10%, outperforming the MSCI ACWI index. Versus the index, stock selection in several areas drove the fund's outperformance, especially in consumer staples where Dr Pepper Snapple Group was the fund's largest individual contributor and most overweighted position at period end. Shares of the beverage maker gained on stable pricing in its markets, as well as very strong capital allocation policies including an attractive dividend and generous share buybacks. Other interesting contributors from the sector included Greencore Group, a Dublin-based prepared-foods producer, and South Africa's Astral Foods, a poultry producer. Neither was in the index. In order to lock in profits, I sold the fund's position in Astral by period end. Elsewhere, biotechnology firm Amgen also helped. The biggest individual detractor was a non-index stake in Reunert, a South African industrial conglomerate that struggled with sluggish end markets the past year. It also hurt to avoid index component Gilead Sciences, a biotech firm that did well on its ground-breaking treatment for hepatitis C. Gilead, however, does not pay a dividend, which means it's not a name likely to be held in this portfolio or other equity-income funds.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.

J Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

K Amount not annualized.

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When

current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing

which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Annual Report

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $47,076,262 and $41,567,542, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .70% of the Fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $184 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $74 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $13,364. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $232 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $475.

9. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period from May 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2012. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period from May 2, 2012 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience,and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-year period, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund

ged1007673

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50).Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the fund's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. The fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the fund's total expense ratio ranked below its competitive median for 2013.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent that total expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of average net assets, exceed 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from William Kennedy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Discovery Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -0.36%, -0.60%, -1.12%, and -1.10%, respectively (excluding sales charges), versus -0.48% for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. Security selection helped relative performance, particularly in health care, information technology and financials. The fund also benefited from out-of-index investments in the U.S. and emerging markets. Top individual contributors included U.K.-listed Hikma Pharmaceuticals, a Jordan-based company that specializes in injectable drugs. Its stock received a boost from U.S. market-share gains. Shares of pharmaceuticals company Actavis benefited from successful recent acquisitions and the tax advantage of its Ireland domicile. By contrast, security selection in industrials and consumer discretionary and in Europe ex U.K. detracted versus the index. In terms of individual disappointments, not owning Switzerland-based pharmaceuticals giant and index component Novartis hurt relative performance, as the company's strong patent portfolio and product pipeline drove sales growth and the stock gain. An overweighting in ORIX, a high-quality diversified financials conglomerate in Japan, also detracted from results, as the weak local economy pressured near-term earnings growth.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Discovery, Class K, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified

cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next

twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments variation margin are made or received by a fund depending on the

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Futures Contracts - continued

daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is

representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $16,266 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $20,360 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,348,453 and $6,576,338, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. Prior to August 1, 2014 the individual fund fee rate was .45%. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Discovery as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .72% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Management Fee - continued

than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations.

of credit, which amounted to $19 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,278, including $7 from securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $317 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $28.

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International Fund was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Annual Report

Management Fees - continued

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

aid1210052

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that, on July 16, 2014, after the periods shown in the chart above, it had approved a reduction (effective August 1, 2014) in the individual fund fee rate component of the management fee rate for the fund from 0.450% to 0.424%.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, the retail class, and Class K ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although Class T was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from William Kennedy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Discovery Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -0.01%, versus -0.48% for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. Security selection helped relative performance, particularly in health care, information technology and financials. The fund also benefited from out-of-index investments in the U.S. and emerging markets. Top individual contributors included U.K.-listed Hikma Pharmaceuticals, a Jordan-based company that specializes in injectable drugs. Its stock received a boost from U.S. market-share gains. Shares of pharmaceuticals company Actavis benefited from successful recent acquisitions and the tax advantage of its Ireland domicile. By contrast, security selection in industrials and consumer discretionary and in Europe ex U.K. detracted versus the index. In terms of individual disappointments, not owning Switzerland-based pharmaceuticals giant and index component Novartis hurt relative performance, as the company's strong patent portfolio and product pipeline drove sales growth and stock gains. An overweighting in ORIX, a high-quality diversified financials conglomerate in Japan, also detracted from results, as the weak local economy pressured near-term earnings growth.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Discovery, Class K, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified

cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next

twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments variation margin are made or received by a fund depending on the

Annual Report

Futures Contracts - continued

daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is

representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $16,266 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $20,360 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,348,453 and $6,576,338, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. Prior to August 1, 2014 the individual fund fee rate was .45%. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Discovery as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .72% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower

than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $11 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $2.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

of credit, which amounted to $19 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,278, including $7 from securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $317 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $28.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International Fund was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Management Fees - continued

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that, on July 16, 2014, after the periods shown in the chart above, it had approved a reduction (effective August 1, 2014) in the individual fund fee rate component of the management fee rate for the fund from 0.450% to 0.424%.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, the retail class, and Class K ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although Class T was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from William Kennedy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Discovery Fund: For the year, the fund's Z Class shares returned 0.12%, versus -0.48% for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. Security selection helped relative performance, particularly in health care, information technology and financials. The fund also benefited from out-of-index investments in the U.S. and emerging markets. Top individual contributors included U.K.-listed Hikma Pharmaceuticals, a Jordan-based company that specializes in injectable drugs. Its stock received a boost from U.S. market-share gains. Shares of pharmaceuticals company Actavis benefited from successful recent acquisitions and the tax advantage of its Ireland domicile. By contrast, security selection in industrials and consumer discretionary and in Europe ex U.K. detracted versus the index. In terms of individual disappointments, not owning Switzerland-based pharmaceuticals giant and index component Novartis hurt relative performance, as the company's strong patent portfolio and product pipeline drove sales growth and the stock. An overweighting in ORIX, a high-quality diversified financials conglomerate in Japan, also detracted from results, as the weak local economy pressured near-term earnings growth.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Discovery, Class K, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified

cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next

The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including

Annual Report

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments variation margin are made or received by a fund depending on the

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Futures Contracts - continued

daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is

representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $16,266 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $20,360 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,348,453 and $6,576,338, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. Prior to August 1, 2014 the individual fund fee rate was .45%. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Discovery as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .72% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Management Fee - continued

than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $11 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $2.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line

of credit, which amounted to $19 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,278, including $7 from securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $317 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $28.

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International Fund was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

idz1610648

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that, on July 16, 2014, after the periods shown in the chart above, it had approved a reduction (effective August 1, 2014) in the individual fund fee rate component of the management fee rate for the fund from 0.450% to 0.424%.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, the retail class, and Class K ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although Class T was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from William Kennedy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® International Discovery Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -0.01%, versus -0.48% for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. Security selection helped relative performance, particularly in health care, information technology and financials. The fund also benefited from out-of-index investments in the U.S. and emerging markets. Top individual contributors included U.K.-listed Hikma Pharmaceuticals, a Jordan-based company that specializes in injectable drugs. Its stock received a boost from U.S. market-share gains. Shares of pharmaceuticals company Actavis benefited from successful recent acquisitions and the tax advantage of its Ireland domicile. By contrast, security selection in industrials and consumer discretionary and in Europe ex U.K. detracted versus the index. In terms of individual disappointments, not owning Switzerland-based pharmaceuticals giant and index component Novartis hurt relative performance, as the company's strong patent portfolio and product pipeline drove sales growth and the stock gain. An overweighting in ORIX, a high-quality diversified financials conglomerate in Japan, also detracted from results, as the weak local economy pressured near-term earnings growth.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

G Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Discovery, Class K, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified

cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next

twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments variation margin are made or received by a fund depending on the

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Futures Contracts - continued

daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is

representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $16,266 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $20,360 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,348,453 and $6,576,338, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. Prior to August 1, 2014 the individual fund fee rate was .45%. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Discovery as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .72% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Management Fee - continued

than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

of credit, which amounted to $19 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,278, including $7 from securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $317 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $28.

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International Fund was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Management Fees - continued

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Furthermore, the Board considered that, on July 16, 2014, after the periods shown in the chart above, it had approved a reduction (effective August 1, 2014) in the individual fund fee rate component of the management fee rate for the fund from 0.450% to 0.424%.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, the retail class, and Class K ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although Class T was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from William Kennedy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® International Discovery Fund: For the year, the fund's Class K shares returned 0.13%, versus -0.48% for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. Security selection helped relative performance, particularly in health care, information technology and financials. The fund also benefited from out-of-index investments in the U.S. and emerging markets. Top individual contributors included U.K.-listed Hikma Pharmaceuticals, a Jordan-based company that specializes in injectable drugs. Its stock received a boost from U.S. market-share gains. Shares of pharmaceuticals company Actavis benefited from successful recent acquisitions and the tax advantage of its Ireland domicile. By contrast, security selection in industrials and consumer discretionary and in Europe ex U.K. detracted versus the index. In terms of individual disappointments, not owning Switzerland-based pharmaceuticals giant and index component Novartis hurt relative performance, as the company's strong patent portfolio and product pipeline drove sales growth and the stock gain. An overweighting in ORIX, a high-quality diversified financials conglomerate in Japan, also detracted from results, as the weak local economy pressured near-term earnings growth.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

G Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

H Total distributions of $.65 per share is comprised of distributions from net investment income of $.497 and distributions from net realized gain of $.155 per share.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Discovery, Class K, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified

cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next

twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments variation margin are made or received by a fund depending on the

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Futures Contracts - continued

daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is

representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $16,266 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $20,360 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,348,453 and $6,576,338, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. Prior to August 1, 2014 the individual fund fee rate was .45%. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Discovery as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .72% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Management Fee - continued

than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $11 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $2.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line

of credit, which amounted to $19 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $5,278, including $7 from securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $317 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $28.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International Fund was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Discovery Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Discovery Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Discovery Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Management Fees - continued

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity International Discovery Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that, on July 16, 2014, after the periods shown in the chart above, it had approved a reduction (effective August 1, 2014) in the individual fund fee rate component of the management fee rate for the fund from 0.450% to 0.424%.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, the retail class, and Class K ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although Class T was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Growth Fund: For the year ending October 31, 2014, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 2.54%, 2.21%, 1.76% and 1.77%, respectively (excluding sales charges), well ahead of the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned -0.51%. The fund benefited from its positioning in the U.S. - where some fund holdings happen to be domiciled while doing most or all of their business abroad - and also a beneficial underweighting in Europe. My stance in Japan was a modest negative. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotels Group was the fund's top individual contributor. I continued to like this stock for its strong operations and ability to benefit from a cyclically improving hotel business, especially in the U.S. Visa and MasterCard, two U.S.-based payment-processing software companies not found in the index, also were significant contributors. One notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm with a dominant competitive position in several industries. The value of our stake fell during the 12 months, most likely because of investors' concerns about a slowing global economy. Another disappointment was Nokian Tyres, a Finland-based tire manufacturer that encountered a difficult business environment. I ultimately sold the fund's stake in search of other opportunities.

These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Growth Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Growth, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $523,591,304 and $200,715,697, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Growth as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,309 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $4,581.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,181 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $819,854. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $325,646, including $14,631 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $6,405 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $37.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $4,248.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Growth Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Growth Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Growth Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class A ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013.The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, 1.05%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Growth Fund: For the year ending October 31, 2014, the fund's Institutional Class shares gained 2.84%, well ahead of the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned -0.51%. The fund benefited from its positioning in the U.S. - where some fund holdings happen to be domiciled while doing most or all of their business abroad - and also a beneficial underweighting in Europe. My stance in Japan was a modest negative. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotels Group was the fund's top individual contributor. I continued to like this stock for its strong operations and ability to benefit from a cyclically improving hotel business, especially in the U.S. Visa and MasterCard, two U.S.-based payment-processing software companies not found in the index, also were significant contributors. One notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm with a dominant competitive position in several industries. The value of our stake fell during the 12 months, most likely because of investors' concerns about a slowing global economy. Another disappointment was Nokian Tyres, a Finland-based tire manufacturer that encountered a difficult business environment. I ultimately sold the fund's stake in search of other opportunities.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Growth Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Growth, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $523,591,304 and $200,715,697, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Growth as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,309 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $4,581.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,181 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $819,854. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $325,646, including $14,631 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $6,405 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $37.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $4,248.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Growth Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Growth Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Growth Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class A ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013.The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, 1.05%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Growth Fund: For the year ending October 31, 2014, the fund's Class Z shares gained 3.07%, well ahead of the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned -0.51%. The fund benefited from its positioning in the U.S. - where some fund holdings happen to be domiciled while doing most or all of their business abroad - and also a beneficial underweighting in Europe. My stance in Japan was a modest negative. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotels Group was the fund's top individual contributor. I continued to like this stock for its strong operations and ability to benefit from a cyclically improving hotel business, especially in the U.S. Visa and MasterCard, two U.S.-based payment-processing software companies not found in the index, also were significant contributors. One notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm with a dominant competitive position in several industries. The value of our stake fell during the 12 months, most likely because of investors' concerns about a slowing global economy. Another disappointment was Nokian Tyres, a Finland-based tire manufacturer that encountered a difficult business environment. I ultimately sold the fund's stake in search of other opportunities.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $523,591,304 and $200,715,697, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Growth as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,309 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $4,581.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,181 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $819,854. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $325,646, including $14,631 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $6,405 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $37.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $4,248.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Growth Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Growth Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Growth Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Growth Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class A ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013.The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, 1.05%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® International Growth Fund: For the year ending October 31, 2014, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 2.96%, well ahead of the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned -0.51%. The fund benefited from its positioning in the U.S. - where some fund holdings happen to be domiciled while doing most or all of their business abroad - and also a beneficial underweighting in Europe. My stance in Japan was a modest negative. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotels Group was the fund's top individual contributor. I continued to like this stock for its strong operations and ability to benefit from a cyclically improving hotel business, especially in the U.S. Visa and MasterCard, two U.S.-based payment-processing software companies not found in the index, also were significant contributors. One notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm with a dominant competitive position in several industries. The value of our stake fell during the 12 months, most likely because of investors' concerns about a slowing global economy. Another disappointment was Nokian Tyres, a Finland-based tire manufacturer that encountered a difficult business environment. I ultimately sold the fund's stake in search of other opportunities.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Growth Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Growth, Institutional Class and Class Z shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $523,591,304 and $200,715,697, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Growth as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,309 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $4,581.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,181 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $819,854. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $325,646, including $14,631 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $6,405 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $37.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $4,248.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Growth Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Growth Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Growth Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Growth Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below.

Fidelity International Growth Fund

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013, the total expense ratio of Class A ranked equal to its competitive median for 2013, and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013.The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, Class Z, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, 1.05%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

$10,000 Over 10 Years

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor® International Small Cap Fund - Class A on October 31, 2004, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index and MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index performed over the same period.

ais2681776

Effective April 1, 2014, the fund began comparing its performance to the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index rather than the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index because the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index provides a more appropriate performance comparison for the fund.

Annual Report


Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Samuel Chamovitz, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Small Cap Fund on March 1, 2014: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -2.79%, -3.00%, -3.52% and -3.43%, respectively (excluding sales charges), trailing the -0.79% return of the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index, which became the fund's primary benchmark on April 1, 2014, and the -1.91% result of the old benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. Additionally, the fund's performance fell short of the 0.29% return of a linked index combining the returns of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, with which the fund was compared through March, and the new MSCI benchmark, with which the fund was compared during the period's final seven months. The fund's benchmark was changed to reflect a broadened investment focus. Stock selection in Japan meaningfully weighed on the fund's relative results. A sizable overweighting in Japanese utility Hokkaido Electric Power was by far the biggest relative detractor. GFK, a Luxembourg-based consumer research provider, also hampered performance. Both detractors I mentioned were sold from the fund. Conversely, the top relative contributor was a non-index position in Japan-based home furnishings retailer Nitori Holdings.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Small Cap and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investment in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 investments, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,082,370,255 and $1,280,273,199, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Small Cap as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small Cap Index effective April 1, 2014 (the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index prior to April 1, 2014), over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .85% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,930 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,862 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $54,910. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $303,427, including $2,692 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $29,569 for the period. Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $132.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $13,641.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 18% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in March 2014.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class B ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor® International Small Cap Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 2004. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index and MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index performed over the same period.

sci2864613

Effective April 1, 2014, the fund began comparing its performance to the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index rather than the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index because the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index provides a more appropriate performance comparison for the fund.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Samuel Chamovitz, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Small Cap Fund on March 1, 2014: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -2.35%, trailing the -0.79% return of the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index, which became the fund's primary benchmark on April 1, 2014, and the -1.91% result of the old benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. Additionally, the fund's performance fell short of the 0.29% return of a linked index combining the returns of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, with which the fund was compared through March, and the new MSCI benchmark, with which the fund was compared during the period's final seven months. The fund's benchmark was changed to reflect a broadened investment focus. Stock selection in Japan meaningfully weighed on the fund's relative results. A sizable overweighting in Japanese utility Hokkaido Electric Power was by far the biggest relative detractor. GFK, a Luxembourg-based consumer research provider, also hampered performance. Both detractors I mentioned were sold from the fund. Conversely, the top relative contributor was a non-index position in Japan-based home furnishings retailer Nitori Holdings.

This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Small Cap and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investment in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 investments, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,082,370,255 and $1,280,273,199, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Small Cap as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small Cap Index effective April 1, 2014 (the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index prior to April 1, 2014), over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .85% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,930 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,862 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a

broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $54,910. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $303,427, including $2,692 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $29,569 for the period. Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $132.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $13,641.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 18% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in March 2014.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class B ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Fidelity® International Small Cap Fund

-2.48%

9.02%

Prior to April 1, 2014, Fidelity International Small Cap Fund compared its performance to a different benchmark. The fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies.

$10,000 Over 10 Years

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® International Small Cap Fund, a class of the fund, on October 31, 2004. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index and MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index performed over the same period.

isc3048107

Effective April 1, 2014, the fund began comparing its performance to the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index rather than the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index because the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index provides a more appropriate performance comparison for the fund.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Samuel Chamovitz, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® International Small Cap Fund on March 1, 2014: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -2.48%, trailing the -0.79% return of the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index, which became the fund's primary benchmark on April 1, 2014, and the -1.91% result of the old benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. Additionally, the fund's performance fell short of the 0.29% return of a linked index combining the returns of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, with which the fund was compared through March, and the new MSCI benchmark, with which the fund was compared during the period's final seven months. The fund's benchmark was changed to reflect a broadened investment focus. Stock selection in Japan meaningfully weighed on the fund's relative results. A sizable overweighting in Japanese utility Hokkaido Electric Power was by far the biggest relative detractor. GFK, a Luxembourg-based consumer research provider, also hampered performance. Both detractors I mentioned were sold from the fund. Conversely, the top relative contributor was a non-index position in Japan-based home furnishings retailer Nitori Holdings.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Small Cap and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investment in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 investments, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,082,370,255 and $1,280,273,199, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Small Cap as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small Cap Index effective April 1, 2014 (the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index prior to April 1, 2014), over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .85% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,930 for the period.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,862 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a

broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities loaned to FCM at period end was $54,910. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $303,427, including $2,692 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $29,569 for the period. Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $132.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $13,641.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 18% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in March 2014.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class B ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Small Cap Opportunities Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 0.78%, 0.55%, 0.00% and 0.03%, respectively (excluding sales charges), ahead of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, which returned -1.91%. The fund especially benefited in relative terms from strong stock selection in Japan, the Netherlands and Sweden within Europe, and South Korea and South Africa within emerging markets. The fund's positioning in Denmark and stock selection in Turkey were minor negatives. On an individual basis, Fagerhult, a Swedish manufacturer of lighting fixtures, added the most value. Harmonic Drive Systems, a Japanese maker of gears for robotic arms, also contributed to the fund's results, as did South Korea's Coway and U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotel Group. In contrast, the biggest detractor was PriceSmart, a U.S.-based warehouse retailer that does nearly all of its business in Central America and Colombia. During the period, PriceSmart stock struggled as weak emerging-market economies and a maturing market in Central America made the business environment a little tougher. Another detractor was Goldcrest, a Japanese real estate company whose shares were hurt as pessimism grew about the Japanese economy. Of all the stocks mentioned, Goldcrest was the lone index member.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Small Cap Opportunities and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $201,745,353 and $113,539,642, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Small Cap Opportunities as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .98% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $840 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $5,745.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,022 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $171,600. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $329 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $192.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $3,884.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualificationsand capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Small Cap Opportunities Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares gained 1.11%, ahead of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, which returned -1.91%. The fund especially benefited in relative terms from strong stock selection in Japan, the Netherlands and Sweden within Europe, and South Korea and South Africa within emerging markets. The fund's positioning in Denmark and stock selection in Turkey were minor negatives. On an individual basis, Fagerhult, a Swedish manufacturer of lighting fixtures, added the most value. Harmonic Drive Systems, a Japanese maker of gears for robotic arms, also contributed to the fund's results, as did South Korea's Coway and U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotel Group. In contrast, the biggest detractor was PriceSmart, a U.S.-based warehouse retailer that does nearly all of its business in Central America and Colombia. During the period, PriceSmart stock struggled as weak emerging-market economies and a maturing market in Central America made the business environment a little tougher. Another detractor was Goldcrest, a Japanese real estate company whose shares were hurt as pessimism grew about the Japanese economy. Of all the stocks mentioned, Goldcrest was the lone index member.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Small Cap Opportunities and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $201,745,353 and $113,539,642, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Small Cap Opportunities as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .98% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $840 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $5,745.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,022 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $171,600. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $329 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $192.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $3,884.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualificationsand capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® International Small Cap Opportunities Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 1.11%, ahead of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, which returned -1.91%. The fund especially benefited in relative terms from strong stock selection in Japan, the Netherlands and Sweden within Europe, and South Korea and South Africa within emerging markets. The fund's positioning in Denmark and stock selection in Turkey were minor negatives. On an individual basis, Fagerhult, a Swedish manufacturer of lighting fixtures, added the most value. Harmonic Drive Systems, a Japanese maker of gears for robotic arms, also contributed to the fund's results, as did South Korea's Coway and U.K.-based hotel company Intercontinental Hotel Group. In contrast, the biggest detractor was PriceSmart, a U.S.-based warehouse retailer that does nearly all of its business in Central America and Colombia. During the period, PriceSmart stock struggled as weak emerging-market economies and a maturing market in Central America made the business environment a little tougher. Another detractor was Goldcrest, a Japanese real estate company, whose shares were hurt as pessimism grew about the Japanese economy. Of all the stocks mentioned, Goldcrest was the lone index member.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

A Total returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced during the applicable periods shown.

B Total returns do not include the effect of the sales charges.

C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

D Fees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

E Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

F Investment income per share reflects a large, non-recurring dividend which amounted to $.06 per share. Excluding this non-recurring dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been .80%.

G Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Small Cap Opportunities and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $201,745,353 and $113,539,642, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Small Cap Opportunities as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .98% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $840 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $5,745.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,022 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $171,600. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $329 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $192.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $3,884.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualificationsand capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Value Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -1.76%, -1.99%, -2.39% and -2.43%, respectively (excluding sales charges), trailing the -0.45% return of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Value Index. Versus the index, the fund was hurt by its investments in higher-quality Japanese financials firms, which lagged due to a rising yen and investor reaction to the U.S. central bank's announcement last fall that its stimulus program may end following a period of tapering. From this category, investments in bank holdings company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and diversified conglomerate ORIX were sore spots. An overweighting, on average, in Sumitomo Mitsui was the fund's biggest relative detractor during the past year. Whereas I became more bearish on Sumitomo Mitsui, I held on to ORIX, believing in its ability to deliver long-term results. Conversely, selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco prior to second half of the year proved the biggest relative contributor, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. Additionally, the stock, which had been declining over the summer, dipped in early August after the firm issued its third profit warning of the year, then again in September after its new chief executive reported that Tesco's first-half profits had been overstated and four senior executives were suspended.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Value and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation

$ 15,866,348

Gross unrealized depreciation

(15,294,421)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities

$ 571,927

 

 

Tax Cost

$ 7,055,942

Capital loss carryforward

$ (102,980,501)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments

$ 546,172

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $163,988,914 and $139,217,160, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Value as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Value Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .60% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $237 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,417.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $328 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash)

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $161,924. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $3,923 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $5.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $193.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International II Fund and VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio were the owners of record of approximately 35% and 11%, respectively, of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 52% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Value Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Value Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Value Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in September 2011.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board has discussed the fund's performance with FMR, including the fund's underperformance based on more recent periods ended after 2013 (which periods are not shown in the chart above) but prior to the date of the Board's approval of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts, and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's more recent underperformance.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Annual Report

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's negative performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® International Value Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -1.41%, trailing the -0.45% return of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Value Index. Versus the index, the fund was hurt by its investments in higher-quality Japanese financials firms, which lagged due to a rising yen and investor reaction to the U.S. central bank's announcement last fall that its stimulus program may end following a period of tapering. From this category, investments in bank holdings company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and diversified conglomerate ORIX were sore spots. An overweighting, on average, in Sumitomo Mitsui was the fund's biggest relative detractor during the past year. Whereas I became more bearish on Sumitomo Mitsui, I held on to ORIX, believing in its ability to deliver long-term results. Conversely, selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco prior to second half of the year proved the biggest relative contributor, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. Additionally, the stock, which had been declining over the summer, dipped in early August after the firm issued its third profit warning of the year, then again in September after its new chief executive reported that Tesco's first-half profits had been overstated and four senior executives were suspended.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Value and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Gross unrealized appreciation

$ 15,866,348

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $163,988,914 and $139,217,160, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Value as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Value Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .60% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Annual Report

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $237 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,417.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $328 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash)

against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $161,924. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $3,923 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $5.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $193.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International II Fund and VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio were the owners of record of approximately 35% and 11%, respectively, of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 52% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Value Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Value Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Value Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in September 2011.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board has discussed the fund's performance with FMR, including the fund's underperformance based on more recent periods ended after 2013 (which periods are not shown in the chart above) but prior to the date of the Board's approval of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts, and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's more recent underperformance.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Annual Report

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity International Value Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's negative performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® International Value Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -1.34%, trailing the -0.45% return of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Value Index. Versus the index, the fund was hurt by its investments in higher-quality Japanese financials firms, which lagged due to a rising yen and investor reaction to the U.S. central bank's announcement last fall that its stimulus program may end following a period of tapering. From this category, investments in bank holdings company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and diversified conglomerate ORIX were sore spots. An overweighting, on average, in Sumitomo Mitsui was the fund's biggest relative detractor during the past year. Whereas I became more bearish on Sumitomo Mitsui, I held on to ORIX, believing in its ability to deliver long-term results. Conversely, selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco prior to second half of the year proved the biggest relative contributor, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. Additionally, the stock, which had been declining over the summer, dipped in early August after the firm issued its third profit warning of the year, then again in September after its new chief executive reported that Tesco's first-half profits had been overstated and four senior executives were suspended.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, International Value and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $163,988,914 and $139,217,160, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of International Value as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Value Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .60% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $237 for the period.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,417.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $328 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash)

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $161,924. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $3,923 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $5.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $193.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers International II Fund and VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio were the owners of record of approximately 35% and 11%, respectively, of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 52% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity International Value Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Value Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity International Value Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in September 2011.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board has discussed the fund's performance with FMR, including the fund's underperformance based on more recent periods ended after 2013 (which periods are not shown in the chart above) but prior to the date of the Board's approval of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts, and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's more recent underperformance.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Annual Report

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity International Value Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's negative performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T and Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Fidelity® Series Emerging Markets Fund


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Samuel Polyak and James Hayes, Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity® Series Emerging Markets Fund, along with Gregory Lee and Timothy Gannon: For the year, the fund's Series Emerging Markets and Class F shares gained 2.20% and 2.35%, respectively, ahead of the MSCI index. Relative to the index, the fund's top individual contributor was South-Korean cosmetics company AMOREPACIFIC Group, whose stock price tripled due to rapidly increasing demand for makeup among Chinese consumers. We had good stock selection in energy, where we successfully avoided struggling index name CNOOC, a Chinese oil & gas equipment & production firm. Our top relative contributors also included India-based Axis Bank - a non-index stock that did well along with the Indian market overall. On the downside, we had weak picks in Russia, including Sberbank Russia and Mobile TeleSystems, a market-leading private bank and wireless telecom provider, respectively. We as a group felt it prudent to move the fund to an underweighting in Russia overall in order to mitigate risk while geopolitical tension in the region evolves.

Note to shareholders: Effective October 1, 2014, Per Johansson and Douglas Chow were no longer co-managers of the fund, and Co-Managers Gregory Lee and Tim Gannon became responsible for the energy and information technology subportfolios, respectively.

Annual Report

Fidelity Series International Growth Fund


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Fidelity Series International Growth Fund


Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Series International Growth Fund: For the year ending October 31, 2014, the fund's Series International Growth and Class F shares gained 2.66% and 2.80%, respectively, ahead of the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned -0.51%. The fund benefited from its positioning in the U.S. - where some fund holdings happen to be domiciled while doing most or all of their business abroad - and also a beneficial underweighting in Europe. My stance in Japan was a modest negative. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company InterContinental Hotels Group was the fund's top individual contributor. I continued to like this stock for its strong operations and ability to benefit from a cyclically improving hotel business, especially in the U.S. Visa and MasterCard, two U.S.-based payment-processing software companies not found in the index, also were significant contributors. One notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm with a dominant competitive position in several industries. The value of our stake fell 21% for the 12 months, most likely because of investors' concerns about a slowing global economy. Another disappointment was Nokian Tyres, a Finland-based tire manufacturer that encountered a difficult business environment. I ultimately sold the fund's stake in search of other opportunities.

Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Series International Small Cap Fund: For the year, the fund's Series International Small Cap and Class F shares gained 0.21% and 0.47%, respectively, ahead of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, which returned -1.91%. The fund especially benefited in relative terms from strong stock selection in South Korea and South Africa within emerging markets and the Netherlands and Sweden within Europe. The fund's positioning in Denmark and stock selection in Turkey were negatives. On an individual basis, Fagerhult, a Swedish manufacturer of lighting fixtures, added the most value versus the index. Harmonic Drive Systems, a Japanese maker of gears for robotic arms, also contributed to the fund's results, as did South Korea's Coway and U.K.-based hotel company InterContinental Hotel Group. In contrast, the biggest detractor was PriceSmart, a U.S.-based warehouse retailer that does nearly all of its business in Central America and Colombia. During the period, PriceSmart stock struggled as weak emerging-market economies and a maturing market in Central America made the business environment a little tougher. Another detractor was Goldcrest, a Japanese real estate company, whose shares were hurt as pessimism grew about the Japanese economy. Of all the stocks mentioned, Goldcrest was the lone index member.

Annual Report

Fidelity Series International Value Fund


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Fidelity Series International Value Fund


Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Series International Value Fund: For the year, the fund's Series International Value and Class F shares returned -1.25% and -1.18, respectively, trailing the -0.45% return of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Value Index. Versus the index, the fund was hurt by its investments in higher-quality Japanese financials firms, which lagged due to a rising yen and investor reaction to the U.S. central bank's announcement last fall that its stimulus program may end following a period of tapering. From this category, investments in bank holdings company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and diversified conglomerate ORIX were sore spots. An overweighting, on average, in Sumitomo Mitsui was the fund's biggest relative detractor during the past year. Whereas I became more bearish on Sumitomo Mitsui, I held on to ORIX, believing in its ability to deliver long-term results. Conversely, selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco prior to second half of the year proved the biggest relative contributor, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. Additionally, the stock, which had been declining over the summer, dipped in early August after the firm issued its third profit warning of the year, then again in September after its new chief executive reported that Tesco's first-half profits had been overstated and four senior executives were suspended.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Series International Growth Fund, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund and Fidelity Series International Value Fund (the Funds) are funds of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of the Funds are only available for purchase by mutual funds for which Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or an affiliate serves as an investment manager. Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund offers Series Emerging Markets shares and Class F shares. Fidelity Series International Growth Fund offers Series International Growth shares and Class F shares. Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund offers Series International Small Cap shares and Class F shares. Fidelity Series International Value Fund offers Series International Value shares and Class F shares. All classes have equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Funds' investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Funds invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but do not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, each Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), each Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the FMR Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees each Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs),

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Funds determine the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of each Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund and Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund are subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which they invest. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Restricted Securities. The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds' investment objective allows the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Funds used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Funds may not achieve their objectives.

The Funds' use of derivatives increased or decreased their exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds used futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is included in the Statement of Operations.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $(33,204,989) and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $8,302,316 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and an annualized group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee for Fidelity Series International Growth Fund, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund and Fidelity Series International Value Fund is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of each applicable Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period.) The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on each fund's relative investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to its benchmark index over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, each Fund's annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets, including the performance adjustment, if applicable was as follows. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net asset for the reporting and performance periods.

The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are as follows:

8. Security Lending.

Certain Funds lend portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Funds. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next

business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Funds may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Funds may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. FCM security lending activity was as follows:

The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Series International Growth Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Fidelity Series International Growth Fund (fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the management of Fidelity Series International Growth Fund. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund and Fidelity Series International Value Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund and Fidelity Series International Value Fund (Funds of Fidelity Investment Trust), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund and Fidelity Series International Value Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the funds' Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund
Fidelity Series International Growth Fund
Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund
Fidelity Series International Value Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the funds' sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the funds were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the funds at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for a sleeve of Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund in May 2012 and October 2013 and for a sleeve of Fidelity Series International Value Fund in September 2011.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. For each fund (except Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund), returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board has discussed Fidelity Series International Value Fund's performance with FMR, including the fund's underperformance based on more recent periods ended after 2013 (which periods are not shown in the chart above) but prior to the date of the Board's approval of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts, and has engaged with FMR to consider what steps might be taken to remediate the fund's more recent underperformance.

Annual Report

The Board also considered that each of Fidelity Series International Growth Fund's, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund's, and Fidelity Series International Value Fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for each fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and each fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit each fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." For Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund, the Total Mapped Group is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons because the Total Mapped Group combines several Lipper investment objective categories while the Lipper peer group does not. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment (if applicable), relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of a fund's performance adjustment (if applicable), is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of each of Fidelity Series International Growth Fund's and Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund's positive performance adjustment and Fidelity Series International Value Fund's negative performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the total expense ratio of each class of each fund, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of each fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class of each fund ranked below its competitive median for 2013.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of each fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board also considered that although each fund is offered only to other Fidelity funds, it continues to incur investment management expenses. The Board further noted that each fund may continue to realize benefits from the group fee structure, even though assets may not be expected to grow significantly at the fund level. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Annual Report

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by investors' risk-taking and subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Turning to bonds, late-period strength in the U.S. dollar took its toll on performance: The Barclays® Global Aggregate GDP Weighted Index gained 1.09% for the year, lagging the 4.14% return of the Barclays® U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Global corporate debt (+3%) fared relatively better, but still lagged the broad U.S. bond market.

Comments from John Carlson, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Total Emerging Markets Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T and Class C shares gained 3.30%, 3.04% and 2.56%, respectively (excluding sales charges), compared with 0.98% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and 3.53% for the Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Composite IndexSM. Versus the Composite index, the fund's overweighting in equities, which underperformed, and underweighting in strong-performing EM debt detracted. However, the biggest contribution came from security selection among equities. Here, the equity sleeve's top individual contributor was South Korean cosmetics firm AMOREPACIFIC Group. Over the past year, the stock price tripled, benefiting from rapidly increasing demand for makeup among Chinese consumers, especially via e-commerce and duty-free sales. Conversely, positioning in Russia hurt results, including an investment in market-leading bank Sberbank. Turning to EM debt, underweighting Russia helped. We notably reduced exposure here in the first half of the period amid rising geopolitical uncertainty that caused a steep sell-off, although we added to our position shortly after that happened. On the flip side, it hurt to largely avoid Argentina.

Note to shareholders: Effective October 1, 2014, Per Johansson and Douglas Chow were no longer Co-Portfolio Managers of the fund, and Co-Portfolio Managers Gregory Lee and Tim Gannon became responsible for the energy and information technology subportfolios, respectively.

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Total Emerging Markets and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures

Annual Report

Investment Valuation - continued

approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, foreign government and government agency obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year

depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $42,055 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $9,141 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $78,871,035 and $87,196,124, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $699 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $130 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $202. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 29% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended period indicated and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity fund's valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-year period, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

Management Fees - continued

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Management Fees - continued

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of the fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.65%, 1.90%, 2.40%, 1.40%, and 1.40% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Annual Report

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the potential to further rationalize the Fidelity fund lineup with the possibility of achieving savings for the funds and Fidelity; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; and (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by investors' risk-taking and subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Turning to bonds, late-period strength in the U.S. dollar took its toll on performance: The Barclays® Global Aggregate GDP Weighted Index gained 1.09% for the year, lagging the 4.14% return of the Barclays® U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Global corporate debt (+3%) fared relatively better, but still lagged the broad U.S. bond market.

Comments from John Carlson, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Total Emerging Markets Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares gained 3.51%, compared with 0.98% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and 3.53% for the Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Composite IndexSM. Versus the Composite index, the fund's overweighting in equities, which underperformed, and underweighting in strong-performing EM debt detracted. However, the biggest contribution came from security selection among equities. Here, the equity sleeve's top individual contributor was South Korean cosmetics firm AMOREPACIFIC Group. Over the past year, the stock price tripled, benefiting from rapidly increasing demand for makeup among Chinese consumers, especially via e-commerce and duty-free sales. Conversely, positioning in Russia hurt results, including an investment in market-leading bank Sberbank. Turning to EM debt, underweighting Russia helped. We notably reduced exposure here in the first half of the period amid rising geopolitical uncertainty that caused a steep sell-off, although we added to our position shortly after that happened. On the flip side, it hurt to largely avoid Argentina.

Note to shareholders: Effective October 1, 2014, Per Johansson and Douglas Chow were no longer Co-Portfolio Managers of the fund, and Co-Portfolio Managers Gregory Lee and Tim Gannon became responsible for the energy and information technology subportfolios, respectively.

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Total Emerging Markets and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, foreign government and government agency obligations and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year

depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 90 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments - continued

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $42,055 and a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $9,141 related to its investment in futures contracts. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $78,871,035 and $87,196,124, respectively.

Annual Report

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $699 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $130 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

Annual Report

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $202. During the period, there were no securities loaned to FCM.

9. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

12. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 29% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund (a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended period indicated and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity fund's valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-year period, as shown below. A peer group comparison is not shown below.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013.

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of the fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.65%, 1.90%, 2.40%, 1.40%, and 1.40% through December 31, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the potential to further rationalize the Fidelity fund lineup with the possibility of achieving savings for the funds and Fidelity; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; and (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Co-Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Total International Equity Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 0.19%, -0.06%, -0.56% and -0.57%, respectively (excluding sales charges), compared with an advance of 0.18% for the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Index. The fund benefited the most from its out-of-index investments in the U.S. Favorable positioning in the U.K. and India also helped. On the negative side, the fund lost ground in Hong Kong, while a significant underweighting in outperforming Canada further detracted. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company InterContinental Hotel Group was the fund's top relative contributor. A stake in Japan-based Astellas Pharma helped, due in part to the firm's September announcement that the U.S. government had approved expanded use of its Xtandi® cancer drug. Selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco in the first half of the year also helped, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. In contrast, one notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm that saw its stock return -21%. Another performance challenge was the fund's overweighting, on average, in Japanese bank holding company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, about which we became more bearish and ultimately sold the stock during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Total International Equity and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based

upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, partnerships, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation

$ 58,023,153

Gross unrealized depreciation

(10,503,108)

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $309,792,512 and $301,150,794, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds

Management Fee - continued

advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of Total International Equity as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,000 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,056.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $583 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

7. Security Lending - continued

Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $110,200, including $462 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, a shareholder of record owned approximately 72% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Annual Report

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Management Fees - continued

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Co-Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Total International Equity Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares gained 0.37%, compared with an advance of 0.18% for the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Index. The fund benefited the most from its positioning in the U.S. Favorable out-of-index investments in the U.K. and India also helped. On the negative side, the fund lost ground in Hong Kong, while a significant underweighting in outperforming Canada further detracted. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company InterContinental Hotel Group was the fund's top relative contributor. A stake in Japan-based Astellas Pharma helped, due in part to the firm's September announcement that the U.S. government had approved expanded use of its Xtandi® cancer drug. Selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco in the first half of the year also helped, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. In contrast, one notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm that saw its stock return -21%. Another performance challenge was the fund's overweighting, on average, in Japanese bank holding company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, about which we became more bearish and ultimately sold the stock during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Total International Equity and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based

upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, partnerships, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $309,792,512 and $301,150,794, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds

Management Fee - continued

advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of Total International Equity as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,000 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

$ 723

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,056.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $583 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $110,200, including $462 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, a shareholder of record owned approximately 72% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Management Fees - continued

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: Global equities posted a healthy gain for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014, overcoming an October market decline driven by recessionary pressures in China and tepid growth in Europe. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index rose 8.15%, helped by subdued market volatility for much of the period and supported by solid corporate earnings, especially in the United States. Stocks also benefited from easy monetary policies in Japan and the eurozone, as well as increased stimulus efforts in China. All but three of the 24 industry groups that compose the index marked a positive return. The U.S. (+17%) remained a pillar of strength, while a strongly rising dollar in the latter part of the period detracted from investors' returns in most non-U.S. markets. Canada (+5%) notched broad gains outside of its energy and materials sectors, as did Asia-Pacific ex Japan (+4%), led by investor enthusiasm for companies in India. The U.K., Europe and Japan, meanwhile, all underperformed. Among sectors, health care (+24%) led the index, with a strong contribution from the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry. Information technology (+21%) also outperformed. Conversely, materials (-4%) and energy (-1%) lagged the index due to a higher supply of and lower demand for commodities.

Comments from Alexander Zavratsky, Co-Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Total International Equity Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares gained 0.55%, compared with an advance of 0.18% for the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Index. The fund benefited the most from its out-of-index investments in the U.S. Favorable positioning in the U.K. and India also helped. On the negative side, the fund lost ground in Hong Kong, while a significant underweighting in outperforming Canada further detracted. On an individual basis, U.K.-based hotel company InterContinental Hotel Group was the fund's top relative contributor. A stake in Japan-based Astellas Pharma helped, due in part to the firm's September announcement that the U.S. government had approved expanded use of its Xtandi® cancer drug. Selling our holdings in U.K.-based food retailer Tesco in the first half of the year also helped, as sliding sales and a loss in market share steadily eroded its stock price. In contrast, one notable laggard was Andritz, an Austrian industrial engineering firm that saw its stock return -21%. Another performance challenge was the fund's overweighting, on average, in Japanese bank holding company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, about which we became more bearish and ultimately sold the stock during the period.

Note to shareholders: Sammy Simnegar became a Co-Manager on June 21, 2014, succeeding Ashish Swarup.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2014

1. Organization.

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Total International Equity and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) Fair Value Committee (the Committee), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and is responsible for approving and reporting to the Board all fair value determinations.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of October 31, 2014, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based

upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, partnerships, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation

Capital loss carry forwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2012 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. Capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may have been subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $309,792,512 and $301,150,794, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds

Management Fee - continued

advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of Total International Equity as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,000 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

$ 723

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $1,056.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $583 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. For equity securities, a lending agent is used and may loan securities to certain qualified borrowers, including Fidelity Capital Markets (FCM), a broker-dealer affiliated with the Fund. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash

Annual Report

7. Security Lending - continued

Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding with FCM. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $110,200, including $462 from securities loaned to FCM.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through December 31, 2015. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, a shareholder of record owned approximately 72% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Total International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 174 funds. Mr. Curvey oversees 407 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Annual Report

Trustees and Officers - continued

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees (Committees), each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.

At its July 2014 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. In connection with separate internal corporate reorganizations involving Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. (FMR Japan), the Board approved certain non-material amendments to the fund's sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Japan to reflect that, after these reorganizations, FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited will carry on the business of FMR U.K. and FMR Japan, respectively. The Board noted that no changes to the portfolio managers or to the foreign research or investment advisory services provided to the fund were expected in connection with either reorganization and that the same personnel and resources would continue to be available to the fund at the new entities.

Annual Report

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered Fidelity's staffing as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of FMR and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources and global compliance infrastructure, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

In 2014, the Board formed an ad hoc Committee on Transfer Agency Fees to review the variety of transfer agency fee structures throughout the industry and Fidelity's competitive positioning with respect to industry participants.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing a new Fidelity adviser to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop and implement technology to improve security and increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in the money market fund lineup.

Annual Report

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board periodically considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index") and a peer group of funds with similar objectives ("peer group"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating changes in performance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and the Investment Advisers' explanations for any overperformance or underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved.  In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods which may include full market cycles, and compared to peer groups, as applicable, over the same periods, taking into account relevant factors including the following:  general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative calendar year total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index and peer group for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods, as shown below. Returns are shown compared to the 25th percentile (top of box, 75% beaten) and 75th percentile (bottom of box, 25% beaten) of the peer universe. Returns of the benchmark index are "net MA," i.e., adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S.-based funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

tie1161959

The Board also considered that the fund's management fee 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, a securities index, thus leading to a performance adjustment for the same period. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment, relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than the fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee rate ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Total International Equity Fund

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2013. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's positive performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking.

Management Fees - continued

The Board also noted that, in August 2013, the ad hoc Committee on Management Fees was formed to conduct an in-depth review of the management fee rates of Fidelity's active equity mutual funds. The Committee focused on the following areas: (i) standard fee structures; (ii) research consumption and trading evolution; (iii) management fee competitiveness/profitability by category; and (iv) factors that drive institutional pricing.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2013 and the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2013. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

The Board further considered that FMR contractually agreed to reimburse Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed 1.45%, 1.70%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, and 1.20% through December 31, 2014.

Annual Report

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2013 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of the methodologies used by Fidelity in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.

Economies of Scale. The Board 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 benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under FMR's management plus sector fund assets previously under FMR's management and currently managed by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) fund performance trends and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) Fidelity's strategic marketing and product lineup goals; (iii) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (iv) the arrangements with, and performance of, certain sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds, as well as certain proposed participating affiliate arrangements; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, including the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain categories of funds and the definition of group assets; (vii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the performance adjustment methodologies applicable to the Fidelity funds; (viii) additional competitive analysis regarding the total expenses for certain classes; (ix) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; and (x) the process by which Fidelity determines sub-advisory fees for funds it advises.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their audits of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding their independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund ("Covered Service") are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds' last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
