The following information replaces similar information found in the "Distribution and Service Plan" section on page 23. Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund shares. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may make payments to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that engage in the sale of fund shares, or provide shareholder support services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Dividend Growth shares.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIDELITY DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND SEPTEMBER 25, 1997 PROSPECTUS The following information replaces similar information found in the "Other Expenses" section beginning on page 15. The fund has adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. This plan recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund shares. FMR directly, or through FDC, may make payments to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that engage in the sale of, or provide shareholder support services for, the fund's shares. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments. The following information replaces similar information found in the "Dividends, Capital Gains, and Taxes" section beginning on page 24. For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital gains are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income; capital gain distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing the tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the previous year. The following information replaces similar information found in the "Dividends, Capital Gains, and Taxes" section on page 25. EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on the fund and its investments, and these taxes generally will reduce the fund's distributions. However, if you meet certain holding period requirements with respect to your fund shares, an offsetting tax credit may be available to you. If you do not meet such holding period requirements, you may still be entitled to a deduction for certain foreign taxes. In either case, your tax statement will show more taxable income or capital gains than were actually distributed by the fund, but will also show the amount of the available offsetting credit or deduction. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
