STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
January 28, 2012
This Statement of Additional Information dated January 28, 2012 is no longer applicable for Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund.
Gopal Reddy serves as co-manager of Fidelity Advisor® Growth Opportunities Fund. Steven Wymer serves as lead portfolio manager of Fidelity Advisor® Growth Opportunities Fund.
Edward Yoon has replaced Patrick Venanzi as a co-manager of Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund and as a co-manager of Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund. All references to Mr. Venanzi are no longer applicable.
The following information supplements similar information found in the "Management Contracts" section beginning on page 55.
Gopal Reddy is co-manager of Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund and receives compensation for his services. As of October 31, 2012, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.
The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index and within a defined peer group assigned to each fund or account. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to his tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over his tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with his tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to five years for the comparison to a benchmark index and rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a peer group. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund is based on the fund's pre-tax investment performance measured against the Russell 1000® Growth Index, and the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class) within the Morningstar® Large Growth Category. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.

The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in the fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.

Edward Yoon is a research analyst and co-manager of Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund and Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund, and receives compensation for his services as a research analyst and as a portfolio manager under a single compensation plan. As of October 31, 2012, the portfolio manager's compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.
The portfolio manager's base salary is determined primarily by level of experience and skills, and performance as a research analyst and fund manager at FMR or its affiliates. A portion of the portfolio manager's bonus relates to his performance as a research analyst and is based on the Director of Research's assessment of the research analyst's performance and may include factors such as portfolio manager survey-based assessments, which relate to analytical work and investment results within the relevant market(s) and impact on other equity funds and accounts as a research analyst, and the research analyst's contributions to the research groups and to FMR. Another component of the bonus is based upon (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index (which may be a customized industry benchmark index developed by FMR) and within a defined peer group, if applicable, assigned to each fund or account, (ii) the pre-tax investment performance of the research analyst's recommendations measured against a benchmark index corresponding to the research analyst's assignment universe and against a broadly diversified equity index, and (iii) the investment performance of other FMR equity funds and accounts within the research analyst's designated team. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s). The component of the bonus relating to the Director of Research's assessment is calculated over a one-year period, and each other component of the bonus is calculated over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with the portfolio manager's tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to five years for the comparison to a benchmark index and rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a peer group, if applicable. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the fund measured against the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, and the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class) within the Morningstar® Mid-Cap Growth Category. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the fund measured against the S&P MidCap 400® Index, and the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of the fund's retail class) within the Morningstar Mid-Cap Blend Category. For Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund, another component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the portion of the fund's assets he manages measured against the Russell Midcap Growth Healthcare Index. For Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund, another component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the portion of the fund's assets he manages measured against the S&P MidCap 400 Health Care Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.

Monty Kori and Gordon Scott are research analysts and co-managers of Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund, and each receives compensation for his services as a research analyst and as a portfolio manager under a single compensation plan. As of April 30, 2012, each portfolio manager's compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of each portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.
Each portfolio manager's base salary is determined primarily by level of experience and skills, and performance as a research analyst and fund manager at FMR or its affiliates. A portion of each portfolio manager's bonus relates to his performance as a research analyst and is based on the Director of Research's assessment of the research analyst's performance and may include factors such as portfolio manager survey-based assessments, which relate to analytical work and investment results within the relevant market(s) and impact on other equity funds and accounts as a research analyst, and the research analyst's contributions to the research groups and to FMR.

The pre-tax investment performance of each portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s). The component of the bonus relating to the Director of Research's assessment is calculated over a one-year period, and each other component of the bonus is calculated over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with the portfolio manager's tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to five years for the comparison to a benchmark index and rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a peer group. The portion of each portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Fidelity Advisor Growth Strategies Fund is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the fund measured against the Russell Midcap Growth Index, and the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class) within the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth Category.

Rayna Lesser is co-manager of Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund and receives compensation for her services. As of February 29, 2012, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.
The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index and within a defined peer group assigned to each fund or account. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to her tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over her tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with her tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to five years for the comparison to a benchmark index and rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a peer group. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the fund measured against the S&P Midcap 400® Index, and the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class) within the Morningstar Mid-Cap Blend Category. Another component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the portion of the fund's assets she manages measured against the S&P Midcap 400® Information Technology Index and the S&P Midcap 400 Telecommunications Services Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.
The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. Although investors in the fund may invest through either tax-deferred accounts or taxable accounts, the portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate her time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.
