DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE


There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns
would have been lower.

Grade Debt Funds Average

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index -
a market value-weighted index of government and investment-grade
corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and 10
years. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the short-intermediate investment grade
debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 103 mutual funds. These benchmarks
reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999   PAST 1 YEAR  PAST 5 YEARS  PAST 10 YEARS

FIDELITY INTERMEDIATE BOND       1.42%        6.45%         7.02%

Short-Intermediate Investment    1.44%        6.19%         6.67%
Grade Debt  Funds Average

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund on October 31, 1989. As
the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $19,700 a 97.00% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index did over the same period.
With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
would have grown to $20,447 - a 104.47% increase.

PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you
sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW



MARKET RECAP

Rising interest rates left most bonds
swimming against the tide, and
accomplishing little in the way of
returns during the six-month period
that ended October 31, 1999. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index, a widely accepted measure
of taxable-bond performance,
closed out the period down 0.15%.
Anticipation of and reaction to the
two quarter-point rate hikes levied
by the Federal Reserve Board in the
summer kept seas choppy for
Treasuries, erasing a majority of the
interest-rate cuts of 1998. The
Lehman Brothers Treasury Index fell
0.34% during the six-month period.
Elsewhere, longer-duration spread
sectors, with the notable exception
of discount coupon 30-year
mortgage securities, trailed similar
duration Treasuries during this
time frame. Corporate bond
prices buckled in July and August
under the expectation of strong
debt issuance related to the Year
2000 changeover. As a result, yield
spreads relative to Treasuries
widened to their loftiest levels since
the fall of 1998. Corporate bonds
recovered sharply in September
and October in response to
lighter-than-expected supply;
however, it wasn't enough to erase
the sector's summertime losses. The
Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond
Index ended up losing 1.12%
during the period. Discount
mortgage securities staved off the
period's malaise, benefiting from
strong housing turnover resulting
from a robust economy. Declining
interest-rate volatility boosted
mortgages further, bolstering the
Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed
Securities Index, which returned
0.59% during the six-month period.

An interview with Ford O'Neil, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Intermediate Bond Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FORD?

A. For the six-month period that ended October 31, 1999, the fund
posted a total return of 0.07%. In comparison, the short-intermediate
investment grade debt funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned
0.38%. During the same period, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index returned 0.47%. For the 12 months that
ended October 31, 1999, the fund had a total return of 1.42%. For that
same one-year period, the Lipper average returned 1.44% and the Lehman
Brothers index returned 0.99%.

Q. OVERALL, WHAT GUIDED PERFORMANCE DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?

A. In the face of rising interest rates, the fund still managed to
deliver a positive return, helped in large part by security selection
and sector allocation. On the whole, it was a difficult environment
for spread sectors - that is, corporates, agencies and asset-backed
securities. With the exception of mortgages in general, and
particularly discount mortgages, most spread sectors struggled to get
their footing during this period. Longer-duration corporates,
particularly, underperformed during the summer. In short, interest
rates rose and yield spreads widened relative to Treasuries due to
perceived supply pressures. These factors led to the significant
underperformance of this sub-sector of the corporate market. The
fund's exposure to these corporate issues hurt its performance
relative to that of its benchmark index. In addition, having an
average duration - a measure of how sensitive the fund's share price
is to changing interest rates - generally longer than its peers amid
sharply rising rates dragged on the fund's competitive returns.

Q. WHAT OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?

A. The fund's exposure to discount-mortgage securities and
shorter-duration asset-backed securities - which are not included in
its benchmark - helped buoy the fund during a generally rough period,
as these sectors generated above-average returns relative to their
Treasury counterparts. Discount mortgages - or, mortgages priced below
face value, or par - benefited from faster-than-normal prepayment
activity. The fund also got a lift from its emphasis on certain
corporate sectors - namely, yankees, or dollar-denominated foreign
debt; broker-dealer, electric and gas utilities, and energy - all of
which led the broader corporate market during the period. On the
downside, the fund was hurt by its modest underweighting in agencies
relative to its benchmark, as this sector outperformed
comparable-duration corporates. Having exposure to some poor
performers in the world of aerospace and defense, retail, and
telecommunications also hampered returns.

Q. YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT CORPORATE BONDS WERE HIT HARD DURING THE
SUMMER MONTHS. WHAT LED TO THIS REVERSAL FROM THE STRONG PERFORMANCE
OF EARLIER IN THE YEAR?

A. Around the July-to-August time frame, the market was held captive
by a fear of oversupply. Investors expected leery corporate treasurers
to issue debt en masse in the third quarter in anticipation of Y2K.
Not surprisingly, as a result we saw some of the widest yield-spread
levels in a year. In addition, there also were a number of very large
acquisitions made during the summer, which required debt financing,
further fueling the market's anxiety. The concern over liquidity was a
key factor driving market expectations, and it ultimately proved
unfounded in late August. Corporate yield spreads recovered sharply in
response to the good news. However, it wasn't enough to make up for
all of the widening in the summer, the level of which, incidentally,
wasn't too far off from the decade-long high we witnessed last fall.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?

A. From my vantage point, the outlook for spread sectors in general is
still quite positive. To that point, I feel there's plenty of upside
left in the corporate market at today's yield-spread levels. In terms
of mortgages, I believe we've extracted a good deal of the value out
of the market already. Mortgage securities, however,  are still cheap
and remain attractive alternatives to Treasuries. With respect to
interest rates, I think that we could be in the late stages of the
Federal Reserve Board's interest-rate tightening mode, which should
temper volatility in the near term. My rationale for thinking the Fed
is nearing the end of its rate hikes is threefold. First, the Fed
already reversed most of its easing from last fall. Second, what
triggered the tightening was more technical than fundamental in
nature. And last, the Fed is viewed as being ahead of the curve in
regard to fighting inflation.

FORD O'NEIL ON THE FUND'S
EXPOSURE TO MORTGAGE
SECURITIES:

"The fund's benchmark - the
Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index
- - does not have either a mortgage or
asset-backed component to it. It's
instead made up of Treasuries,
corporates and agencies. So, I think
it's important to discuss the fund's
mortgage investments and explain to
investors why we will, at times, look
at this `out-of-the benchmark'
opportunity when relative value points
strongly in that direction.

"If you look at last year's mortgage
market when we owned very few of
these securities, you would see that
they had a tremendous potential for
`negative event risk' - that is, if
interest rates fell, refinancing activity
and prepayment risk would rise,
hurting the prices of mortgage
securities. Additionally, mortgage yield
spreads over Treasuries were at the
tight end of their historical trading
range. Today, however, as a result of
the rise in interest rates over the past
year, a large percentage of the
mortgage market is now trading below
par, or at a discount. Their dramatic
drop in price has been caused by a
combination of wider yield spreads
and higher interest rates. What you
now have is considered `positive event
risk' as long as interest rates remain
relatively stable. For example, as
homeowners trade up in this
environment, you have, in essence,
below-par mortgages being redeemed
at par - a big win for the holder of
mortgage securities. During this time,
you receive the extra yield of owning
the mortgage security, but you also
benefit from the potential for its yield
spread tightening relative to
Treasuries."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999 (Unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth 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, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities (including restricted securities) for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under
the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.

INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."

INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED

DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION -
CONTINUED

to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market
discount, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash
sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

2. OPERATING POLICIES.

JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR),
may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading
accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell
securities on a delayed delivery basis. Payment and delivery may take
place after the customary settlement period for that security. The
price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities
will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction
is negotiated. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone
in the

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS -
CONTINUED

purchase of a delayed delivery security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.
Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying
securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to 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.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,720,702,000 and $1,867,297,000, respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated
$751,393,000 and $961,202,000, respectively.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .0920% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .43% of average net
assets.

SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement with Fidelity Investments Money Management,
Inc. (FIMM), a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR. For its services, FIMM
receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR.
The fee is paid prior to any voluntary expense reimbursements which
may be in effect.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size

CONTINUED

TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED

and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of
all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .21% of
average net assets.

ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent,
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to
reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $31,000 and
$151,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

PROXY VOTING RESULTS


A special meeting of the fund's shareholders was held on September 15,
1999. Shareholders of record at the close of business were entitled to
vote. The results of votes taken among shareholders on proposals
before them are reported below.  Each vote reported represents one
dollar of net asset value held on the record date for the meeting.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE


There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999  PAST 6 MONTHS  PAST 1 YEAR  LIFE OF FUND

FIDELITY LARGE CAP STOCK        5.64%          32.79%       162.25%

S&P 500 (registered trademark)  2.74%          25.67%       167.38%

Growth Funds Average            4.43%          29.14%       n/a

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, or since
the fund started on June 22, 1995. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to
the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how the
fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 1,248 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
excludes the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only.
These averages are listed on Page 5 of this report.*

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999  PAST 1 YEAR  LIFE OF FUND

FIDELITY LARGE CAP STOCK        32.79%       24.74%

S&P 500                         25.67%       25.29%

Growth Funds Average            29.14%       n/a

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund on June 22, 1995, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of
the investment would have grown to $26,225 - a 162.25% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $26,738 - a
167.38% increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW



MARKET RECAP

A change in market leadership
painted the backdrop for the six
months that ended October 31,
1999, as growth stocks stole the
spotlight back from their value
and cyclical - or, economically
sensitive - counterparts that had
captured the hearts and minds of
investors for much of April.
Technology shares led a narrow
charge, seemingly resilient to the
interest-rate concerns that tempered
the returns of the broader market.
The technology-rich NASDAQ
closed out the period posting a
record high, capping off a strong
six-month showing, up 16.82%. In
comparison, the Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a broad measure of
U.S. stock market performance -
could muster only 2.74% during this
time frame. The Federal Reserve
Board, determined to keep inflation
in check, acted promptly and
forcefully, levying two quarter-point
interest-rate cuts in the summer to
rein in signs of runaway growth in
the economy. Anticipation of and
reaction to these moves kept most
blue-chip stocks in check, fueling
the stock market's frequent mood
swings during the period. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an
index of 30 blue-chip stocks -
traversed hilly terrain over the
course of the period, from its
adventure north of the 11,000
border in May, to its return trip
to 10,000 in October. For all its
efforts, though, the Dow managed
just a 0.22% return for the
six-month period.

An interview with Karen Firestone, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Large
Cap Stock Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KAREN?

A. It fared well for both the six- and 12-month periods. For the six
months that ended October 31, 1999, the fund had a total return of
5.64%. In comparison, the growth funds average as measured by Lipper
Inc. returned 4.43%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index delivered a
return of 2.74%. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 1999, the
fund posted a total return of 32.79%, while the Lipper average and S&P
500 index returned 29.14% and 25.67%, respectively.

Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S SUCCESS OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?

A. The fund benefited from concentrating its assets in what I consider
to be the "best of the benchmark" - with names such as Intel,
Microsoft and Cisco Systems. Within this group of companies, I
increased the fund's exposure to those stocks that I really liked
based on their long-term growth prospects. Strong stock picking
outside of the S&P 500 benchmark helped as well. I built a diversified
pool of primarily smaller large-cap technology and communications
stocks - names such as Legato Systems and Vignette Corp. - and these
performed well for the fund during the period. In addition, I
broadened the portfolio to include some biotechnology names, such as
Affymetrix and QLT PhotoTherapeutics, which added to fund returns
during this time frame. All in all, I stuck with the names I believed
in, some of which traversed a rocky road in the second quarter. The
fund's media and communications holdings, for example, rebounded
nicely later in the period.

Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE OTHER STRATEGIES THAT HELPED THE FUND DURING
THE PERIOD?

A. Technology stocks had market and earnings momentum over the past
six months and, to capitalize on this growth, I increased the fund's
weighting in response. In health care, I felt that drug stocks were
going to have a tough time outperforming the market from mid-year
forward, given concerns over patent expirations and intensified
government scrutiny of the industry. With that in mind, I shifted some
assets from a few of the largest drug companies to more of the strong
biotechnology names, some of which I mentioned earlier. Also, I
maintained a healthy exposure to the world of cable and wireless
stocks as a play on "new media" and the Internet. Another big plus
came from advertising-driven firms of traditional media, such as CBS
and Tribune Co., which also were enormous beneficiaries of the
Internet. One can't help but notice the dot.coms flooding available ad
spaces of late. I've been a big believer in this advertising-cycle
phenomenon in television and radio for over a year now, and it has
played out beautifully for the fund.

Q. WHICH STOCKS CONTRIBUTED TO PERFORMANCE?

A. GE soared on strong earnings resulting from improving global
economic conditions. Cisco Systems enjoyed a strong period as well,
benefiting from investors' appreciation of the value of the networking
infrastructure to the development of the Internet. Intel, another key
contributor to the growth of the Internet, rallied on robust overall
demand in its semiconductor, or chip, business. Intel also benefited
from some good networking and wireless acquisitions.

Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED?

A. Philip Morris continued its year-long slide, mostly in response to
the potential for further tobacco litigation. Gillette suffered from
an earnings shortfall related to inventory backlogs in Latin America
and Western Europe. At Home, a provider of Internet services over
cable lines, lost 50% of its value during the Internet stock
correction of the late spring and early summer.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?

A. Until something fundamental changes in the external environment,
whether that's interest rates or inflation, the market isn't likely to
change too dramatically. I don't want to turn my back on the stocks
that have contributed to the fund's success of late. I will, however,
have to be sensible and begin to reduce some positions if their
valuations become extreme. So, my challenge lies in what to do with
the proceeds from the names that I do choose to sell or trim back.
I've tried to be defensive to a degree, and I plan to maintain this
stance to provide some protection on the downside. I will, however,
continue to look aggressively at technology and communications stocks
because it simply wouldn't be prudent to ignore what the market
appears to love.

KAREN FIRESTONE ON INCLUDING
OUT-OF-THE-BENCHMARK
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE
INVESTMENT MIX:

"Take a look at the past six
months. The period began at the
tail end of the market's short-term
love affair with cyclicals - or,
economically sensitive stocks -
and ended with growth,
specifically technology, stocks
earning the lion's share of the
market's affection. Aside from
technology, large-cap stocks were
generally flat during the period. In
this narrowly led market, it was
difficult to find good stories within
the large-cap universe alone. To
that point, a large-cap fund ideally
would have owned the largest-cap
technology names and many of the
small-to-mid-cap tech stocks, and
that's it. While that may sound
good, it clearly isn't a very realistic
or risk-averse way to manage a
fund. So, instead, I chose a more
diversified path, looking in large
part - 70% or so - to the very
best companies in the S&P 500
index. From there, the fund's
charter allowed me the flexibility
to invest the other 30% elsewhere
in the capitalization range, where
some of the best opportunities
resided. In support of this quest, I
visited a lot of companies,
searching for stocks that others
may have overlooked. Wherever I
go, I'm always thinking about the
big picture and where the market
might go next. In addition, when
I'm not on the road talking to
firms, I'm sitting with our research
analysts, carefully reviewing
company fundamentals."

readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.

INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED

taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."

INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, 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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

2. OPERATING POLICIES.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.

2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the Taxable
Central Cash Fund and the Central Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds)
managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate
of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $509,069,577 and $330,109,085, respectively.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to
 .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .57% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .23% of average net assets.

ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES - CONTINUED

is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $36,788 for the
period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. 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 could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $1,860,500. The fund received cash collateral of
$1,952,000 which was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.

6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $69,238 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $92 and $2,569, respectively, under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE


There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on March 29, 1994. For example, if you
had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year,
the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the
fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 400
medium-capitalization stocks. To measure how the fund's performance
stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the mid-cap funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 439 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that
group funds according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization,
as well as by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5
of this report.*

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund on March 29, 1994, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of
the investment would have grown to $28,617 - a 186.17% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
MidCap 400 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to
$24,917 - a 149.17% increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW



MARKET RECAP

A change in market leadership
painted the backdrop for the six
months that ended October 31,
1999, as growth stocks stole the
spotlight back from their value
and cyclical - or, economically
sensitive - counterparts that had
captured the hearts and minds of
investors for much of April.
Technology shares led a narrow
charge, seemingly resilient to the
interest-rate concerns that tempered
the returns of the broader market.
The technology-rich NASDAQ
closed out the period posting a
record high, capping off a strong
six-month showing, up 16.82%. In
comparison, the Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a broad measure of
U.S. stock market performance -
could muster only 2.74% during this
time frame. The Federal Reserve
Board, determined to keep inflation
in check, acted promptly and
forcefully, levying two quarter-point
interest-rate cuts in the summer to
rein in signs of runaway growth in
the economy. Anticipation of and
reaction to these moves kept most
blue-chip stocks in check, fueling
the stock market's frequent mood
swings during the period. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an
index of 30 blue-chip stocks -
traversed hilly terrain over the
course of the period, from its
adventure north of the 11,000
border in May, to its return trip
to 10,000 in October. For all its
efforts, though, the Dow managed
just a 0.22% return for the
six-month period.

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: David Felman became Portfolio Manager of the
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund on August 2, 1999.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DAVID?

A. For the six-month period that ended on October 31, 1999, the fund
had a return of 6.00%, compared to a return of 1.86% for the Standard
& Poor's MidCap 400 Index and 7.06% for the mid-cap funds average, as
measured by Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended on October 31,
1999, the fund had a total return of 31.30%, while the S&P MidCap 400
had a return of 21.07% and the mid-cap funds average was 33.45%.

Q. WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE?

A. These returns are consistent with the way the fund is managed,
which is to be more aggressive than the S&P MidCap 400 index, but not
as aggressive as many mid-cap funds that emphasize higher-risk stocks,
especially in technology. During a period in which technology stocks
did particularly well, it makes sense that the fund would trail the
Lipper group while beating the S&P MidCap 400 index. The fund's
performance relative to the index was due primarily to the powerful
performance of stocks in technology and telecommunications as well as
the continued healthy performance by a number of holdings within the
media and leisure sector.

Q. WHAT WERE YOUR PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES DURING THE PERIOD?

A. I substantially increased investments in technology companies. I
thought the industry's earnings outlook looked good, and valuations
were reasonable. I also increased investments in energy stocks because
OPEC-encouraged cutbacks in oil production resulted in rising oil
prices and encouraged more exploration activity, which should benefit
energy services companies. I added to the fund's position in health
care, primarily in biotechnology companies where a number of new
products looked promising. Health care is one sector where demand is
not likely to be affected by rising interest rates. Later in the
period, I decreased the fund's holdings in the media and leisure and
the retail sectors because I was concerned about their prospects
should consumer spending slow because of higher interest rates.

Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN TECHNOLOGY, WHERE THE FUND'S RELATIVE
WEIGHTING WENT FROM 14.9% OF NET ASSETS TO 23.0% IN JUST SIX MONTHS?

A. Most of my technology investments were communications-related. Two
powerful influences on the market have been the growth in wireless
communications and the increasing demand for equipment for the
Internet and local communications networks. I invested in companies
such as Qualcomm and Comverse Technology that benefited from the
strong demand for wireless. I also invested in companies such as
Veritas Software and Legato Systems that produce software for
data-storage management systems. Finally, I increased the weighting in
semiconductor companies providing equipment for networks.

Q. WHAT INVESTMENTS HELPED PERFORMANCE, AND WHERE WERE YOU
DISAPPOINTED?

A. Many of the biggest winners were the technology stocks involved in
communications. These included Nextel and Qualcomm in the wireless
communications area; Comverse, which develops voice mail for wireless
systems; and Exodus Communications, an Internet infrastructure stock.
Outside of the technology area, one of the better performers was
Apache Corp., which is involved in oil exploration and production.
However, other oil-related stocks faded late in the period, causing a
disappointment. I should have cut retail stocks even more than I did,
as they were hurt by rising interest rates and concerns about
potentially slower sales. Even companies with good earnings and
attractive stock valuations were hurt by a general slump in retail
stocks. A good example would be TJX, parent company of the discount
chain TJ Maxx. Most of my regrets have less to do with what I owned
than what I didn't own. For example, I should have owned even more
technology stocks, particularly semiconductor company stocks, in a
bull market for technology.

Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

A. We have come through a period in which a few powerful technology
stocks dominated performance in the mid-cap market. At this point, I
am concerned about high stock valuations in technology. If the market
hits a bump in this sector, it will hurt. I am watching for any signs
of weakness in the sector and thinking about other industries in which
to invest. I have been careful to keep the fund diversified and
prepared for the possibility that market trends could shift.

DAVID FELMAN ON
HIS INVESTMENT STYLE:

"In evaluating a company I look
at three factors: its fundamentals,
industry trends and valuation. In
examining fundamentals, I look at
a company's growth, unit sales,
pricing and costs. I want to find
where there are signs of
acceleration, and where there are
signs of deterioration. Looking at
industry trends, I am interested in
where the industry is going and
where the individual company fits
into the trend. Valuation is
important because I want to make
sure I am paying a reasonable
price, even if the fundamentals are
great and the industry trends are
strong. I pay attention to data
such as price-to-earnings ratios,
price-to-sales ratios and free cash
flow. I also look at historical trends
and the stock's price relative to
industry peers.

"In deciding whether to sell a
stock, I consider factors such as
deterioration in the business
environment, a more pessimistic
near-term outlook, an extremely
high stock price or lack of
execution of the business plan by
management."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999 (Unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth Trust (the trust) (formerly a fund of Fidelity Devonshire
Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The
trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at
the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:

SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases
debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."

INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, 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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

2. OPERATING POLICIES.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.

2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED

JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to 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.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,510,839,000 and $1,554,234,000, respectively.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to
 .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED

In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .49% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .22% of average net assets.

ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $75,000 for the
period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. 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 could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $27,079,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$26,403,000 which was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.

6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $309,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $5,000 and $18,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.

At the end of the period, Charitable Gift Fund, an affiliate of FMR,
was record owner of approximately 5% of the total outstanding shares
of the fund.

8. CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the fund, the
Board of Trustees has determined not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP as the fund's independent auditor and voted to appoint Deloitte &
Touche LLP for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000. During the two
most recent fiscal years, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's audit reports
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were their
reports qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the fund and
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on accounting principles, financial
statements disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to
make reference to the disagreement in their report.




DISTRIBUTIONS


The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund voted to pay on
December 6, 1999, to shareholders of record at the opening of business
on December 3, 1999, a distribution of $1.26 per share derived from
capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE


There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

trademark)

Small Cap Funds Average         7.91%          25.10%       n/a

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on March 12, 1998. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to
the performance of the Russell 2000 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of 2,000 small company stocks. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the small cap funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 803 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has
created new comparison categories that group funds according to
portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by
capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

Small Cap Funds Average         25.10%       n/a

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund on March 12, 1998, when the
fund started, and the current 3.00% trading fee was paid. As the chart
shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $10,102 - a 1.02% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell 2000 Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 would have been $9,358 - a 6.42% decrease.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW



MARKET RECAP

A change in market leadership
painted the backdrop for the six
months that ended October 31,
1999, as growth stocks stole the
spotlight back from their value
and cyclical - or, economically
sensitive - counterparts that had
captured the hearts and minds of
investors for much of April.
Technology shares led a narrow
charge, seemingly resilient to the
interest-rate concerns that tempered
the returns of the broader market.
The technology-rich NASDAQ
closed out the period posting a
record high, capping off a strong
six-month showing, up 16.82%. In
comparison, the Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a broad measure of
U.S. stock market performance -
could muster only 2.74% during this
time frame. The Federal Reserve
Board, determined to keep inflation
in check, acted promptly and
forcefully, levying two quarter-point
interest-rate cuts in the summer to
rein in signs of runaway growth in
the economy. Anticipation of and
reaction to these moves kept most
blue-chip stocks in check, fueling
the stock market's frequent mood
swings during the period. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an
index of 30 blue-chip stocks -
traversed hilly terrain over the
course of the period, from its
adventure north of the 11,000
border in May, to its return trip
to 10,000 in October. For all its
efforts, though, the Dow managed
just a 0.22% return for the
six-month period.

An interview with Paul Antico, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Small Cap
Stock Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, PAUL?

A. I'm very pleased with the fund's performance. For the six months
that ended October 31, 1999, the fund returned 9.83%, outperforming
the Russell 2000's return of -0.25% and the small cap funds average's
return of 7.91%, according to Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended
October 31, 1999, the fund returned 34.73%, compared to 14.87% for the
Russell 2000 and 25.10% for the Lipper peer group.

Q. THE SMALL-CAP UNIVERSE IS SO LARGE, CONTAINING SEVERAL THOUSAND
STOCKS IN THE U.S. ALONE. HOW DID YOU FIND THE GREAT PERFORMERS AND
MANAGE TO HANDILY OUTPERFORM THE INDEX AND PEER GROUP?

A. It was good stock selection, pure and simple. I have an excellent
group of analysts that helps me follow every stock in the fund's
portfolio. These analysts - domestic and international - also help me
identify new opportunities worldwide every day. With 20% of the fund's
holdings in foreign stocks - primarily from Canada and Japan - the
analysts' expertise helps give the fund an edge in performance.
Remember, research is key in managing small-cap stocks. You've got to
find the hidden treasures that others have missed.

Q. YOU'VE INCREASED THE FUND'S HOLDINGS IN HEALTH-RELATED STOCKS . . .

A. Yes, and they've been among the fund's strongest performers.
Affymetrix is a play on genomics - the use of genetic knowledge and
techniques to accelerate health care and biotechnology advances.
Affymetrix performed well due to its continued success in signing on
high-profile customers, legal progress supporting the company's patent
portfolio, its continued strong financial improvement and the
beginning of investor enthusiasm for genomics stocks in general.
Another fund holding, I-Stat, makes a handheld blood analyzer that can
be used by hospitals at a patient's bedside. It enjoyed strong
business momentum as hospitals started buying the product through
Abbott Labs, which has exclusive rights to sell the analyzer, using
its extensive hospital contact base.

Q. WHAT OTHER HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?

A. ANTEC, a supplier of cable modem and telephony equipment essential
for cable companies, is engaged in a joint venture with Northern
Telecom. As cable companies accelerated the upgrade of their networks
to carry more video, as well as data and voice capability, ANTEC
benefited from healthy growth in business, and performed well. Fund
holding TCA Cable continued to deliver good results and was bought by
Cox Communications, reflecting its strong positioning as one of the
larger regional cable TV operators in the U.S.

Q. WHAT ABOUT DETRACTORS FROM PERFORMANCE?

A. Coinstar was a disappointment. The company, which puts
coin-counting machines in supermarkets, expanded rapidly, but did not
show good earnings because of the costs of increasing the number of
machines to meet demand. Fund holding Videotron is the largest
cable-TV provider and part owner of the leading French language
broadcaster in Quebec. Its U.S. subsidiary, Optel, had difficulty
raising financing and performed poorly as a result, causing Videotron
to write the investment off. Medialink, which dominates its niche of
delivering video-based news to newsrooms around the country, has been
making the transition to Internet-based delivery, but experienced some
growing pains and start-up losses in the process. I still have
confidence in these companies, and the fund held positions in their
stocks at the end of the period.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, PAUL?

A. As usual, I'm cautiously optimistic. I think that there are some
tremendous opportunities in small-cap stocks right now. I also believe
that the fund is well-positioned - particularly if the market corrects
- - with a somewhat more conservative profile than in the past, and a
nice mix of potential hidden gems. I believe the prospects for most of
the fund's key holdings are excellent. No matter what kind of market I
find myself in, my job remains to find the companies with good
valuations and the best prospects for strong performance.

PAUL ANTICO ON EMERGING
OPPORTUNITIES IN GENOMICS:

"I believe that one of the most
important investment themes of
the next decade will be the area of
genomics. This field uses genetic
knowledge and techniques to
accelerate health care advances by
identifying an individual's
propensity for certain diseases,
and enabling the development of
targeted treatments. The
technology developed so far has
allowed us to reach
unprecedented levels in
examining the human genome and
its structure. When we understand
more about the function of individual
genes within the genome, we can
make more progress in figuring
out what causes disease and how
to treat it. This approach suggests
a dramatic acceleration in drug
research and development
spending, especially as many of the
big drug companies' key patents
expire and their revenue streams
need to be replaced. Partnering will
also be important to success, since
companies will have to bring new
drugs and treatments to market
quickly and cost effectively. Right
now, the fund has about 4%-5% of its
assets invested in companies in
the genomics industry  and I
predict that this area will be of
greater interest to many investors
in the future."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999 (Unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth 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, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including
restricted securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."

INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, 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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, futures transactions, foreign
currency transactions, non-taxable dividends, capital loss
carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax
regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less than three
years are subject to a trading fee equal to 3.00% of the proceeds of
the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is
accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

2. OPERATING POLICIES.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED

contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each
trade.

JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to 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.
At the end of the period the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $314,713,347 and $276,150,130, respectively.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED

the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly
average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates
ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual
fund fee rate is .45%. In the event that these rates were lower than
the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily
implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower
management fee. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment
(up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets
over the performance period) based on the fund's investment
performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified
period of time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to
an annualized rate of .84% of average net assets after the performance
adjustment.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .25% of average net assets.

ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $20,679 for the
period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. 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 could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $7,581,051. The fund received cash collateral of
$8,175,400 which was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.

6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $49,956 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $2,965 and $438, respectively, under these arrangements.

7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.

An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE


There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on March 6, 1990. For example, if you
had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year,
the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the
fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure
how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the S&P 500 index objective funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 116 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

S&P 500 Index Objective Funds     24.93%       25.44%        n/a

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Market Index Fund on March 6, 1990, when the fund
started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $50,177 - a 401.77% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $51,242 - a
412.42% increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

(photograph of Dean Barr)

The following is an interview with Dean Barr, who oversees the Spartan
Market Index Fund's investment management personnel as Managing
Director for Bankers Trust, sub-adviser of the fund.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DEAN?

A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1999, the fund returned
2.60%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 2.74%,
while the S&P 500 Index objective funds average returned 2.45% for the
same period. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 1999, the
fund posted a total return of 25.40%. This performance was in line
with the 25.67% return for the S&P 500 Index, and with the Lipper
funds average return of 24.93% during the same period.

Q. INVESTORS SEEMED TO BE ESPECIALLY FOCUSED ON THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD DURING THE PERIOD. HOW DID THIS ENVIRONMENT AFFECT THE MARKET?

A. Whenever Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan expressed concerns about
potential inflation and the pace of economic growth, his comments
rattled markets worldwide. In almost every public comment he made
during the past year, Mr. Greenspan seemed worried that the U.S. was
depleting its available supply of workers. With this in mind,
investors nervously reacted to just about every piece of economic data
and remained intently focused on any potential signs of inflation that
could trigger another interest-rate hike. Despite the market's ability
to


hang on to strong gains from earlier in the period, this environment
resulted in extremely narrow and volatile stock performance in recent
months.

Q. DID ANY OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCE THE MARKET'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE
PERIOD?

A. Beyond the Fed's less-accommodating monetary stance, the other big
stories were the steady increase in global trade and manufacturing
activity, along with generally declining interest rates worldwide.
From October 1998 through August 1999, central banks around the world
effected 134 interest-rate easings. In contrast, there were only three
interest-rate increases during this time - two by the U.S. Federal
Reserve and one by the Bank of England. While the recovery in global
manufacturing and trade suggests that many companies could post strong
growth and profit surprises, this environment heightened investor
nervousness, especially in the U.S. and Europe, about further rate
hikes designed to combat potential inflation. On a more positive note,
investors generally shrugged off negative news and helped support the
market's gains.

Q. LET'S SWITCH TO SOME OF THE INDEX'S SPECIFIC SECTORS, STARTING WITH
TECHNOLOGY, THE LARGEST WEIGHTING FOR THE FUND AND THE INDEX . . .

A. As U.S. and global economies continued to fire on all cylinders,
technology stocks remained one of the primary beneficiaries. In
general, the strong performance of the S&P 500 index was driven by the
stellar results of a narrow group of large-cap technology issues such
as Microsoft, Cisco, Lucent Technologies, America Online, Oracle,
Intel and Sun Microsystems. With intense competition and falling
prices for personal computers, demand continued to increase, fueled by
the global economic recovery and the impressive growth of the Internet
and data services for both businesses and residential use.

Q. FINANCE WAS THE SECOND-LARGEST SECTOR IN THE INDEX. HOW DID THESE
STOCKS FARE?

A. While the fundamental business characteristics of banks and
financial services companies remained strong during the period, the
difficult interest-rate environment took its toll on the industry.
Historically, the relationship between rising interest rates and
financial services companies has not been a cordial one. Typically,
when interest rates rise, so do concerns over credit and loan volumes,
two big components behind the earnings growth of banks and financial
services firms. Investors' fears were justified when the Federal
Reserve Board raised interest rates twice during the period. Bank
stocks such as First Union, Bank of America and Bank One all turned in
disappointing results due to concerns over future earnings growth.

Q. BESIDES TECHNOLOGY AND FINANCE, UTILITIES AND HEALTH CARE STOCKS
REPRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF THE INDEX. HOW DID THESE
STOCKS PERFORM?

A. Electric and gas utilities produced mixed results in the wake of
higher interest rates. Utilities are valued in large part for their
income stream, and the stocks usually move counter to the direction of
interest rates due to higher borrowing costs. On the other hand,
independent power producers, such as AES Corp. - which are included
under the electric utility sector - provided strong gains in a
favorable supply and demand environment. Telephone utilities and
telecommunications companies also produced favorable results. Most
notably, wireless communications services and equipment manufacturers
such as Nortel Networks, Nextel and Sprint benefited from robust
demand for mobile handsets and cellular services.

Q. AND THE HEALTH CARE STOCKS?

A. Despite positive business fundamentals in the form of strong
earnings driven by innovative new drugs and an aging population with
increasing demand for health care products, large-cap pharmaceutical
companies such as Eli Lilly, Schering-Plough and Pfizer produced mixed
results. Shares of these companies faltered during the period due to
investor nervousness over high valuations, a weakening product
pipeline and the possibility that Medicare reforms could lead to
government-sanctioned price controls.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, DEAN?

A. I think the narrowness of the market's strength and the cloudy
interest-rate environment pose potential threats to short-term gains.
Longer term, however, a strong argument can be made for continued
strength in the equity market and a broadening out of market
leadership driven by healthy consumer spending, benign inflation,
productivity gains and accelerating earnings growth, which usually
lead to higher stock prices.

DEAN BARR ON CHANGES TO
THE S&P 500:

"The S&P 500 is an index of 500
stocks chosen to be representative
of the broader market. Periodically,
companies will be added or deleted
from the index. Usually, these
changes are based on events such
as acquisitions, spins-offs or shifts
in asset size."

Here are some recent changes to
the index:

(solid bullet) June 23, 1999: American Stores
was deleted from the index after
merging with S&P 500 component
Albertson's Inc. Office Depot, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999 (Unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Spartan Market Index Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth 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, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.

INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED

schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes
under the caption "Income Tax Information."

INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, 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. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, futures transactions market
discount and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax
purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .50% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

2. OPERATING POLICIES.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.

2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED

FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $850,974,000 and $124,700,000, respectively.

The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $1,081,065,000 and $1,127,427,000, respectively.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management
& Research Company (FMR) receives a fee that is computed daily at an
annualized rate of .24% of the fund's average net assets.

SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR and the fund have entered into a sub-advisory
agreement with Bankers Trust Company (Bankers Trust). Bankers Trust
receives a sub-advisory fee for providing investment management and
custodial services to the fund. For these services, FMR pays Bankers
Trust fees at an annual rate of 0.006% of the fund's average net
assets. Prior to October 1, 1999, the sub-advisory fee included fees
for securities lending. Under this arrangement the fund paid Bankers
Trust fees equal to 40% of net income from the fund's securities
lending program. For the period, the fund paid Bankers Trust $161,000
under this arrangement.

 Effective October 1, 1999 the fund entered into a separate securities
lending agreement with Bankers Trust. Under the new securities lending
agreement the fund receives at least 70% of net income from the
securities lending program. Bankers Trust will retain no more than 30%
of net income under this agreement. For the period, Bankers Trust
retained $18,000. In addition, shareholders approved a
"manager-of-managers"

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

SUB-ADVISOR FEE - CONTINUED

arrangement, which will allow FMR, with the approval of the Board of
Trustees to hire, terminate, or replace sub-advisers, and to modify
material terms and conditions of the sub-advisory agreement (including
the fees payable thereunder) for the fund without shareholders
approval. The implementation of this "manager-of-managers" structure,
however, is pending an exemptive order from the SEC.

On March 11, 1999, Bankers Trust announced that it had reached an
agreement with the United States Attorney's Office in the Southern
District of New York to resolve an investigation concerning
inappropriate transfers of unclaimed funds and related recordkeeping
problems that occurred between 1994 and early 1996. Pursuant to its
agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office, Bankers Trust pleaded
guilty to misstating entries in the bank's books and records and
agreed to pay a $60 million fine to federal authorities. On July 26,
1999, Bankers Trust was formally sentenced in United States District
Court to pay the $60 million fine. Separately, Bankers Trust has
agreed to pay a $3.5 million fine to the State of New York. The events
leading up to the guilty plea and formal sentence did not arise out of
the investment advisory or mutual fund management activities of
Bankers Trust or its affiliates.

As a result of the plea and subsequent sentence, absent an order from
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bankers Trust would not
be able to continue to provide investment advisory services to the
funds. The SEC has granted a temporary order to permit Bankers Trust
and its affiliates to continue to provide investment advisory services
to registered investment companies. There is no assurance that the SEC
will grant a permanent order.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .12% of average net assets.

ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of Bankers
Trust. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $26,000 for
the period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in

5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED

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 could
experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in
gaining access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the
securities loaned amounted to $420,339,000. The fund received cash
collateral of $420,794,000 which was invested in the Bankers Trust
Institutional Daily Asset Fund.

6. BANK BORROWINGS.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or
emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has
established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $32,196,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.6%.

7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

FMR agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, securities lending costs, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses) above an annual rate of .19% of average net
assets. For the period, the reimbursement reduced expenses by
$8,801,000.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $18,000 and $11,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
