FIDELITY INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD ASK 
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S GOAL? 
Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund is a bond fund whose goal is to seek high
current income. 
2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? 
The fund invests in domestic and foreign investment-grade debt securities
and normally maintains an average maturity between three and ten years. 
3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS? 
The performance of the fund depends on the value of its holdings. The
fund's yield and share price change based on changes in interest rates,
market conditions, and other political and economic events, and the quality
and maturity of its investments. In general, bond prices rise when interest
rates fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for
longer-term securities. Investments in foreign securities involve risks
that are in addition to those of U.S. investments, including increased
political and economic risk, as well as exposure to currency fluctuations.
When you sell your shares of the fund, they may be worth more or less than
what you paid for them.
4. IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR ME? 
The fund may be appropriate for investors who want high current income from
a portfolio of investment-grade debt securities. With its focus on medium-
to high-quality investments and intermediate maturity, the fund has a
moderate risk level and yield potential. The fund by itself is not a
balanced investment plan.
5. WHAT ARE THE FUND'S EXPENSES? 
Shareholder transaction expenses are charges you pay when you buy, sell or
hold shares of a fund.    
Maximum sales charge on purchases and reinvested      None    
distributions                                                 
 
Deferred sales charge on redemptions                  None    
 
Exchange fee                                          None    
 
Annual account maintenance fee (for accounts under    $12.0   
$2,500)                                               0       
 
       ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES    are paid out of the fund's assets.
The fund's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts. The following are projections
based on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect current fees, and are
calculated as a percentage of average net assets.     
Management fee          .46%   
 
12b-1 fee               None   
 
Other expenses          .33%   
 
TOTAL FUND OPERATING    .79%   
EXPENSES                       
 
       EXAMPLES:    Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual
return is 5% and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described.
For every $1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total
expenses if you close your account after the number of years indicated:
    
After 1 year   After 3 years   After 5 years   After 10    
                                               years       
 
$8             $25             $44             $98         
 
   These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
