During the periods shown in the chart for Blue Chip Growth, the highest return for a quarter was 23.35% (quarter ended December 31, 1998) and the lowest return for a quarter was -18.41% (quarter ended September 30, 2001).
The year-to-date return as of June 30, 2002 for Blue Chip Growth was -16.74%.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement.

Including these reductions, the total fund operating expenses would have been 0.74%.
This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the fund's annual operating expenses are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary.

Investment Objective
Blue Chip Growth Fund seeks growth of capital over the long term.
Principal Investment Strategies
FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks of well-known and established companies.
FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in blue chip companies. Blue chip companies include companies whose stock is included in the S&P 500 or the DJIA, and companies with market capitalizations of at least $1 billion if not included in either index. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment.
FMR invests the fund's assets in companies it believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue. Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average price/earnings (P/E) or price/book (P/B) ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.
FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.
FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.
Description of Principal Security Types
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Fundamental Investment Policies
The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.
Blue Chip Growth Fund seeks growth of capital over the long term.
Prospectus
Fund Basics - continued
Shareholder Notice
The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:
Blue Chip Growth Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in blue chip companies.
The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.
The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).
If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity retirement products. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus.

Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.
The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.
For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.
The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV.
Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form.
Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.
However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:
Prospectus
The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.
Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:
To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 5000, Cincinnati, Ohio 45273-8692.
Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.
You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.
Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.
You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($500 for fund balances in retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in the fund's NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in September and December.
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for the fund:
1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.
3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.
4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.
Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains.
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.
Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.
Prospectus
Blue Chip Growth is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.
FMR is the fund's manager. The address of FMR and its affiliates, unless otherwise indicated below, is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.
As of March 28, 2002, FMR had approximately $13.6 billion in discretionary assets under management.
As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the fund's investments and handling its business affairs.
Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:
FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) serves as a sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC is primarily responsible for choosing investments for the fund.
FMRC is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 28, 2002, FMRC had approximately $543.8 billion in discretionary assets under management.
John McDowell is vice president and manager of Blue Chip Growth Fund, which he has managed since March 1996. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1985, Mr. McDowell has worked as a research analyst and manager.
From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.
The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Management fee |
= |
Basic fee |
+/- |
Performance adjustment |
The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For July 2002, the group fee rate was 0.28%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.
The basic fee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 was 0.58% of the fund's average net assets.
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.
The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.
The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, was 0.49% of the fund's average net assets.
FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.
FDC distributes the fund's shares.
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments.
Prospectus
Fund Services - continued
If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.
From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

B Total returns do not include the effect of the former one time sales charge.
C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflects expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund.
