DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
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 1-800-544-8888, 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.

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.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY INTERMEDIATE BOND 6.03% 37.50% 111.87%
LB Int Govt/Corp Bond 6.37% 41.63% 119.91%
Short-Intermediate Investment 5.23% 35.28% 102.44%
Grade Debt Funds Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year
average represents a peer group of 100 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 APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY INTERMEDIATE BOND 6.03% 6.58% 7.80%
LB Int Govt/Corp Bond 6.37% 7.21% 8.20%
Short-Intermediate Investment 5.23% 6.22% 7.30%
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 April 30, 1989. As the
chart shows, by April 30, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $21,187 - a 111.87% 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 $21,991 - a 119.91% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
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.

TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
fund. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of
$10.19 over the past one month, $10.21 over the past six months and
$10.23 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over
these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula
for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund,
averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
While the equity markets continued to
set new records en route to monumental
gains, bonds were limited to more
modest advances for the 12 months
that ended April 30, 1999, with the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index - a widely followed measure
of taxable bond performance -
returning 6.27% for this period. Low
interest rates, wildly gyrating stock
prices and the general uncertainty
surrounding global economies led
investors to flee stocks for the
perceived safety of U.S. Treasuries
during the late summer and early fall,
driving their prices up and their
yields to a 30-year low. As Treasuries
rallied, corporate bonds and
mortgage securities languished. Later
in the period, the bond market
underwent a reversal. Confronted with
improving conditions abroad and the
lingering fear of inflation from an
overheated U.S. economy, Treasuries
gave back nearly all of their
flight-to-quality gains captured
during the fall. As prices plunged,
yields soared to levels not seen since
early August. As such, Treasuries fell
out of favor. Conversely, unabated
demand for corporate bonds and
mortgage securities - both with
historically attractive valuations -
fueled rallies as each sector
managed strong returns relative to
comparable-duration Treasuries
during the last six months of the period.
For the year, the Lehman Brothers
Corporate Bond Index and the
Lehman Brothers Mortgage
Securities Index, reflective of the
strong turnaround, posted returns
of 5.82% and 6.16%, respectively.

An interview with Ford O'Neil, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Intermediate Bond Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FORD?
A. For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 1999, the fund
provided a total return of 6.03%. To get a sense of how the fund did
relative to its competitors, the short-intermediate investment grade
debt funds average returned 5.23% for the same 12-month period,
according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index - which tracks the types
of securities in which the fund invests - returned 6.37% for the same
period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPACE ITS PEERS DURING THE PAST YEAR?
A. The fund's performance was helped by its larger-than-average stake
in corporate and mortgage securities, both of which outpaced Treasury
securities during the past year. Although they temporarily stumbled
last fall, corporate securities fared well thanks to the continued
strength of the U.S. economy and sustained corporate profitability.
The fund was also helped by its security selection in the corporate
bond sector. The fund was heavily weighted toward the
telecommunications, media and cable sectors, which were among the
corporate bond market's best performing sectors. The fund also
benefited from what it didn't own throughout the first nine months of
the period, namely poor-performing oil and other commodity-based
companies. Global overproduction and soft demand for many goods and
services made it difficult for commodity producers to raise prices.
Turning to mortgage securities, I added to the fund's stake in them at
what I felt were very attractive prices in December 1998 and January
1999. After that, mortgage securities began to perform quite well when
rising interest rates calmed the prepayment fears that depressed the
mortgage market last fall.
Q. WHAT WERE OTHER FACTORS BEHIND THE FUND'S OUTPERFORMANCE?
A. The fund maintained a slightly longer-than-average duration - a
measure of how sensitive its share price is to changing interest
rates. The longer the fund's duration, the more its share price will
rise when rates fall and vice versa. The fund is managed to have a
duration that approximates the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index. That index is comprised of Treasury,
agency and corporate securities with maturities between one and 10
years. The duration of that index - and thus, the fund - tends to be
slightly longer than the Lipper peer group average. When interest
rates fell precipitously from May through early October 1998, having a
slightly longer duration than the average fund was a plus for
Intermediate Bond Fund's performance. Granted, its longer duration
hurt performance in the second half of the period when interest rates
moved higher, but not enough to erase all the outperformance the fund
achieved from it in the first half.
Q. WHAT WERE THE DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE YEAR?
A. Commercial mortgage securities were disappointing. These securities
- - which are pools of commercial loans - came under severe pressure
last fall when some large hedge funds were forced to liquidate their
holdings in them. Commercial mortgage securities have, however, staged
a pretty significant comeback since the fourth quarter of 1998,
although they weren't able to erase all their earlier losses.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. In my view, corporate securities are likely to outpace Treasuries
over the near term. That's why I'm likely to continue to carry a
relatively large weighting in them. As for mortgage securities, they
may be in the seventh or eighth inning of their outperformance
relative to Treasuries. If I feel that mortgage securities don't have
much more upside, I'm likely to look to other segments of the market -
such as agency and asset-backed securities - for more attractive
bargains.

FORD O'NEIL ON THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIOUS
GLOBAL BOND MARKETS:
"The third quarter of 1998 served
as a graphic example of just how
interrelated the world's bond
markets have become over the
past several years. The catalyst for
the near meltdown in some bond
markets came when Russia
effectively defaulted on its debt.
That event, perhaps not
surprisingly, prompted a bond
sell-off in other emerging markets
in Southeast Asia and Latin
America. What did surprise many
observers, however, was that the
Russian default and the ensuing
emerging market sell-off had a
major effect on other, seemingly
unrelated, markets. What had
been a tsunami for emerging
markets turned into a tidal wave
for the high-yield corporate bond
market as well, with ripples being
felt as far away as the
investment-grade corporate and
agency bond markets. Hedge
funds that had bought
emerging-market debt with
borrowed funds - known as
"leverage" - were forced to sell
more liquid holdings in order to
cover losses they incurred from
emerging-market holdings. Five
years ago, it wasn't that easy for
investors to move capital around the
world that quickly. As a portfolio
manager, understanding
macroeconomic conditions and the
leverage in various foreign and
domestic bond markets - even
though I may not invest in them -
has become an important
concern."

AVERAGE YEARS TO MATURITY IS BASED ON THE AVERAGE TIME UNTIL PRINCIPAL
PAYMENTS ARE EXPECTED FROM EACH OF THE FUND'S BONDS, WEIGHTED BY
DOLLAR AMOUNT.
DURATION AS OF APRIL 30, 1999
6 MONTHS AGO
Years 3.5 3.3
DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH
A FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER
FACTORS ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE.
ACCORDINGLY, A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS
EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999
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 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 a month or more after the date of the transaction. 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 market values of the securities purchased on a delayed
delivery basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in
the 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

RESTRICTED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
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 $3,771,678,000 and $3,470,615,000, respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated
$2,242,781,000 and $1,864,854,000, 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 .1100% 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 annual rate of .43% of average net assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement (effective January 1, 1999) 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 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 annual rate of .20% 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.
The fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer
agent whereby 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
$20,000 and $307,000 respectively, under these arrangements.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of Fidelity Intermediate Bond
Fund as of April 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then
ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets
for the year ended April 30, 1998, and the financial highlights for
each of the years in the four-year period ended April 30, 1998 were
audited by other auditors whose report, dated June 5, 1998, expressed
an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of the securities owned at April 30, 1999, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that out audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund at April 30, 1999, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

OTHER FUND INFORMATION
CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR. Based on the recommendation of the
Audit Committee of Fidelity Intermediate Bond 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, 1999. For the fiscal years
ended April 30, 1998 and April 30, 1997, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's
audit reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion;
nor were the 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 statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved
to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused it
to make reference to the disagreement in connection with its report.
DISTRIBUTIONS
A total of 11.52% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is
generally exempt from state income tax.
The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use
in preparing 1999 income tax returns.
OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
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 1-800-544-8888, 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 show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year
average represents a peer group of 1,035 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

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 April 30, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $24,825 - a 148.25% 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 $26,025 - a
160.25% 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
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the 12-month period
that ended April 30, 1999.
Following the July through October
1998 correction, investor
confidence was bolstered by a
near-perfect economic environment
of strong domestic growth, low
interest rates, benign inflation and
improving overseas markets. The
hype surrounding equities was
greatest in the technology sector,
most notably Internet stocks.
Pharmaceutical, finance and
telecommunications shares also
performed well. Late in the period,
economically sensitive cyclical stocks
outperformed other sectors as
investors worried about the
potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level late in
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000. As
market leadership broadened
into cyclical stocks and
value-oriented sectors, the surge in
stock prices drove the Dow Jones
Industrials, Standard & Poor's 500
and NASDAQ indexes up 21.06%,
21.82% and 36.10%, respectively,
for the year. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak results of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
posted negative returns during the
period.

An interview with Karen Firestone, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Large Cap Stock Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KAREN?
A. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned
29.48%. The growth funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc., was
15.05% for the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 21.82% over the past year.
Q. CLEARLY, THE FUND BENEFITED FROM A MARKET THAT CONTINUED TO FAVOR
LARGE-CAPITALIZATION STOCKS. WHAT OTHER FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. One reason the fund outperformed its peers and the S&P 500 index
was that it continued to have a larger weighting in some of the
market's largest-cap stocks - the top performers over the period -
than did its competitors and the index. A good example of this is
General Electric, the fund's top holding at the end of the period and
one of the largest capitalization companies in the world. During the
period, GE's earnings growth continued to beat expectations. It
benefited from management's efforts to streamline its product line and
cut costs. The other factors that boosted the fund's performance were
good stock selection and strong sector allocation.
Q. YOU MENTIONED GENERAL ELECTRIC. WHAT OTHER STOCKS HELPED THE FUND
PERFORM WELL?
A. Another top-10 holding, Microsoft, was the strongest contributor to
the fund over the period. The company continued to meet or exceed
investors' expectations. America Online, which also was one of the
fund's biggest holdings, was a terrific growth stock. AOL is an
incredible franchise that derives the great majority of its revenue
from subscriber fees, which provided a steady revenue stream over the
period. In addition, it has become a brand name with extremely loyal
members and is on the leading edge of electronic commerce. Another
strong-performing top holding was Cisco Systems, the leader in the
switching business - a business that's becoming synonymous with
Internet-related industries. Its product development was phenomenal,
and the company produced earnings that met or beat market
expectations.
Q. FROM THAT LIST OF COMPANY NAMES, IT APPEARS THAT THE FUND STRONGLY
BENEFITED FROM ITS HOLDINGS IN THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR . . .
A. That's true, especially because the fund was overweighted in the
technology sector versus both the S&P 500 index and its peers over the
period. Since the focus of this fund is growth, and the leading growth
sector over the period was technology, I placed strong emphases on
many aspects of the sector, including software, storage,
telecommunications and the Internet. The fund also benefited from
owning the largest-cap companies in those industries - the technology
stocks that performed the best over the period.
Q. WHAT OTHER SECTORS WERE STRONG PERFORMERS?
A. I was double the weight of my peers and the S&P 500 index in the
health care sector, a move that paid off for the fund. Health care -
along with technology - was one of the areas where there were
large-cap companies with growth rates twice that of the S&P 500. I
held both pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck, and medical device
companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, to take advantage of the
sector's earnings acceleration.
Q. DO YOU REGRET ANY OF THE INVESTMENT CHOICES YOU MADE OVER THE
PERIOD?
A. Sure. While there were no stocks that were major detractors, some
of the fund's utility holdings had a tough time. Alcatel, a French
telecommunications company, and Northern Telecom, an equipment
supplier, were hurt when orders for big pieces of telecommunications
equipment fell through or were postponed. At the end of the period,
the fund did not hold either of these stocks
Q. KAREN, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
A. I think we are seeing some type of worldwide economic recovery
underway, and, as a result, cyclical stocks - those stocks that tend
to perform well when the general economy is strong - are performing
better. Overall, however, the market seems to be in a revolving
pattern. By this I mean that market leadership is moving from big
growth stocks, like communication and technology stocks, to cyclicals
and back again. Ultimately, I will have to live with that volatility
and be comfortable with the fundamentals of the positions I own. I
will continue to look for companies with earnings acceleration
underway that I think will result in higher stock prices.

KAREN FIRESTONE ON THE
UTILITY SECTOR:
"To me, the term `utilities' is just a
pseudonym for
telecommunications, and the
telecommunications industry -
whether you're talking about
long-distance carriers or cable
companies - is now competing in
the same universe as the Internet.
As a result, we can no longer look at
utilities as just phone companies:
They are now providers of very
high-speed telecommunications,
which are a critical component of
the technology revolution. As a
result, the line between utilities and
technology is constantly blurring,
and I expect to see even more of
this going forward.
"MCI Worldcom, one of the fund's
top holdings over the period, helped
the fund's utility stocks outperform
those held by the S&P 500 index.
Investors were enthusiastic about
the giant telecommunications
company because it was expected
to benefit heavily from increased
data traffic due to the Internet."
(solid bullet) Over the period, the fund held
a much lower percentage of stocks
in the financial sector than did its
peers, which benefited the fund
over the period since the sector
turned in a relatively weak
performance. The fund manager
preferred to wait on the sidelines
because she believed that financial
markets would be negatively
affected by economic slowdowns in
Asia and some Third World
countries.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Large 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. 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 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. 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
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.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND - CONTINUED
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $675,055,210 and $282,831,791, 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 equity: .2500%
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 annual rate of .54% 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 annual rate of .23% 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 FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $85,407 for the
period.
5. 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
5. BANK BORROWINGS -
CONTINUED
revised from time to time. The average daily loan balances during the
period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $5,964,667. The
weighted average interest rate was 5.87%.
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 $66,501 under this arrangement. In addition, the fund
has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent
whereby 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 $3,783
and $1,299, respectively, under these arrangements.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments of Fidelity Large Cap Stock
Fund as of April 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then
ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets
for the year ended April 30, 1998, and the financial highlights for
the years ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, and for the period June 22,
1995 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 1996 were audited by
other auditors whose report, dated June 5, 1998, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of the securities owned at April 30, 1999, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund at April 30, 1999, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP
Boston, Massachusetts
June 7, 1999
OTHER INFORMATION
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 current fiscal year. For the fiscal years ended
April 30, 1998 and April 30, 1997, 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 statement 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 Large Cap Stock Fund voted to pay on
June 7, 1999, to shareholders of record at the opening of business on
June 4, 1999, a distribution of $.26 per share derived from capital
gains realized from sales of portfolio securities and a dividend of
$.01 per share from net investment income.
A total of 16% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.
The fund hereby designates 100% of the long-term capital gain
dividends distributed during the fiscal year as 20%-rate capital gain
dividends.
The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use
in preparing 1999 income tax returns.
OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.
MANAGING YOUR INVESTMENTS

investments via your telephone or PC. You can access your account

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
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 1-800-544-8888, 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). Total returns do not include the effect of the
3% sales load which was eliminated as of September 30, 1998.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY SMALL CAP SELECTOR -20.61% 62.94% 73.86%
Russell 2000 (registered -9.25% 84.37% 103.21%
trademark)
Small Cap Funds Average -11.11% 90.17% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or since
the fund started on June 28, 1993. 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 one year average represents a peer group of 676 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY SMALL CAP SELECTOR -20.61% 10.26% 9.93%
Russell 2000 -9.25% 13.01% 12.91%
Small Cap Funds Average -11.11% 13.36% 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 Selector on June 28, 1993 when the fund
started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $17,386 - a 73.86% 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 grown $20,321 - a 103.21%
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
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock prices
during the 12-month period that
ended April 30, 1999. Following the
July through October 1998
correction, investor confidence was
bolstered by a near-perfect economic
environment of strong domestic
growth, low interest rates, benign
inflation and improving overseas
markets. The hype surrounding
equities was greatest in the
technology sector, most notably
Internet stocks. Pharmaceutical,
finance and telecommunications
shares also performed well. Late in
the period, economically sensitive
cyclical stocks outperformed other
sectors as investors worried about
the potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level late in
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000.
As market leadership broadened into
cyclical stocks and value-oriented
sectors, the surge in stock prices drove
the Dow Jones Industrials, Standard
& Poor's 500 and NASDAQ indexes
up 21.06%, 21.82% and 36.10%,
respectively, for the year. The
phenomenal performance of a
narrow group of large-cap
growth stocks, however, masked
the weak results of the overall market
as the average stock on the New York
Stock Exchange posted negative
returns during the period.

An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Small Cap Selector
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BRAD?
A. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned
- -20.61%, versus -9.25% for the Russell 2000 and -11.11% for the small
cap funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
Q. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. The first half of the year was a losing proposition for almost all
small-cap stocks because of the worldwide flight to safety after
Russia's default on foreign loans and a continued weak Asian market.
However, high-flying Internet stocks helped the small-cap universe
generate stronger returns in the second half of the 12-month period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM THE RUSSELL 2000 AND ITS PEER GROUP
DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund lagged its benchmarks because it didn't own many of the
hot Internet stocks during the period. The incredible run-up in many
of these smaller Internet stocks over the past six months has bloated
their market capitalizations to large-cap levels. And since the
Russell 2000 is only reconstituted once a year - on June 30 - that
index included the high returns of many stocks with caps in excess of
$5 billion, such as Excite, during the past year. Generally, $1
billion is the maximum market capitalization that a stock can have to
be included in a small-cap index. Hence, that was one reason for the
difference between the fund's return and that of the Russell 2000
index. Many of the funds in the peer group also held these Internet
names. This fund has a strong value component and won't buy these
stocks because most of them are losing money and are trading at 100
times sales - a level that I believe is unjustified. I discuss the
high valuations of Internet stocks in more detail at the end of this
interview.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. VISX, a maker of lasers for eye surgery, was a huge winner. Its
stock climbed more than 400% over the past six months. Wet Seal, a
manufacturer of contemporary apparel, generated robust returns as the
company continued to turn strong profits. Shares of Navistar, a
manufacturer of trucking components, surged more than 150% over the
past six months as many cyclicals appreciated toward the end of the
period.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Twinlab Corporation, a vitamin supplement company, was a big
disappointment. The company's herbal remedies, such as St. John's
Wort, were big sellers in early 1998 but lost steam in late 1998 and
early 1999. First American Financial, a title insurance company,
reported disappointing earnings and underperformed during the period.
Another detractor was CKE Restaurants, a mini-
conglomerate of fast-food chains. The company predicted a big
turnaround at its Hardees chain that never really manifested itself.
Again, not owning the hot Internet stocks really hurt performance.
Q. DO YOU THINK THE FUND SHOULD HAVE OWNED MORE INTERNET STOCKS DURING
THE PERIOD?
A. In hindsight, of course. However, it is usually wise to stick to a
discipline that works over the long run. Small Cap Selector was the
No. 1 diversified equity fund at Fidelity in the 12 months ended
February 1998. This was a more "normal" period in the market relative
to the recent period, when day traders sent Internet names soaring. I
believe that this period of unusual stock valuations is unlikely to
persist for too much longer.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Generally speaking, I think that if interest rates remain stable,
the market should generate mediocre - but not great - returns. I'm
still not terribly keen on the outlook for small-cap stocks as they
perform best coming out of a recession or bear market - and we weren't
experiencing either at the end of the period. However, the valuation
of small-cap stocks relative to large-cap stocks in the current market
environment is quite compelling.

BRAD LEWIS ON THE HIGH
VALUATIONS OF INTERNET STOCKS:
"Certainly many Internet
companies have above-average
growth prospects compared to
typical established industrial
stocks, but their valuations have
become problematic and some
traders have embraced these
stocks as a means of easy riches. In
general, `winning' stocks have
lower-than-average
price-to-earnings ratios with
above-average earnings growth
and increasing levels of
earnings-estimate support from
Wall Street. Stocks that are
expected to underperform the
market on a one- to three-year
level are those that are losing
money, trading at extremely high
price-to-sales ratios and have
large insider stock sales. Most
Internet stocks belong in this
category.
"For example, Priceline.com, an
online travel agency that has been
public for two months, recently
traded at a market capitalization
of $23.5 billion, or 118 times its
annualized sales. At the same time,
AMR, UAL, and Delta, the three
biggest airlines in the U.S., have
combined sales of $51 billion -
absolutely dwarfing Priceline.com's
scale of business. However, the
combined market cap of the big
three airlines is $25.2 billion,
comparable to Priceline.com.
Although Priceline.com may serve
a legitimate niche in the rapidly
growing online bookings field, this
valuation is simply in the
stratosphere.
"Internet stocks may well
continue their run for a few more
quarters. However, at some point,
I think the market will lose
patience with their decelerating
sales growth."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Small Cap Selector (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. 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 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. 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards 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 1.50% 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.
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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
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.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. 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. 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 $614,316,448 and $715,697,916, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $322,694,515 and $396,518,525, 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 .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. 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,
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .53% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $203,175 on sales of shares of the fund of which
$203,102 was retained. Effective September 30, 1998, the fund's 3%
sales charge was eliminated.
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 annual rate of .29% 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 FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $85,677 for the
period.
5. 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 $222,737 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby 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 $4,405 and $31,678, respectively, under these arrangements.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Fidelity Small Cap Selector:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments of Fidelity Small Cap Selector
as of April 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then
ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets
for the year ended April 30, 1998, and the financial highlights for
each of the years in the four-year period ended April 30, 1998 were
audited by other auditors whose report, dated June 5, 1998, expressed
an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of the securities owned at April 30, 1999, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Small Cap Selector at April 30, 1999, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP
Boston, Massachusetts
June 8, 1999
OTHER INFORMATION
Based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of Fidelity Small
Cap Selector, 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,
1999. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 1998 and April 30, 1997,
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 statement 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
A total of 32.48% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate

OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
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 1-800-544-8888, 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
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY SMALL CAP STOCK -10.12% -5.17%
FIDELITY SMALL CAP STOCK -12.81% -8.02%
(INCL. 3.00% TRADING FEE)
Russell 2000 (registered -9.25% -6.18%
trademark)
Small Cap Funds Average -11.11% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average represents a peer group of 676 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY SMALL CAP STOCK -10.12% -4.58%

(INCL. 3.00% TRADING FEE)
Russell 2000 -9.25% -5.47%
Small Cap Funds Average -11.11% 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 April 30, 1999, the value of the investment would have been
$9,198 - an 8.02% decrease 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 $9,382 - a 6.18% 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
Powerful momentum in stock prices
and overwhelming investor
confidence provided the backdrop
for the surge in large-cap stock
prices during the 12-month period
that ended April 30, 1999.
Following the July through October
1998 correction, investor
confidence was bolstered by a
near-perfect economic environment
of strong domestic growth, low
interest rates, benign inflation and
improving overseas markets. The
hype surrounding equities was
greatest in the technology sector,
most notably Internet stocks.
Pharmaceutical, finance and
telecommunications shares also
performed well. Late in the period,
economically sensitive cyclical stocks
outperformed other sectors as
investors worried about the
potential threat of inflation due to
strong economic indicators in the
U.S. and signs that global markets
were beginning to turn around.
Approximately one month after
surpassing the 10,000 level late in
March, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was flirting with 11,000.
As market leadership
broadened into cyclical stocks and
value-oriented sectors, the surge in
stock prices drove the Dow Jones
Industrials, Standard & Poor's 500
and NASDAQ indexes up 21.06%,
21.82% and 36.10%, respectively,
for the year. The phenomenal
performance of a narrow group of
large-cap growth stocks, however,
masked the weak results of the
overall market as the average stock
on the New York Stock Exchange
posted negative returns during the
period.

An interview with Paul Antico, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Small Cap
Stock Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, PAUL?
A. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund returned
- -10.12%, outperforming the small cap funds average's return of
- -11.11%, according to Lipper Inc. The fund also compares its
performance to the Russell 2000 Index, which returned -9.25% over the
same 12-month period.
Q. HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE FUND IN THIS DIFFICULT YEAR FOR SMALL-CAP
STOCKS?
A. It was a challenge. The past year saw investors continuing to seek
out the perceived safety of larger companies as the crisis in Asia
spread, widening the gap between large- and small-cap stock returns. A
few companies among the fund's health care and financial stock
holdings announced unfavorable news during the third quarter of 1998,
and their stock prices plummeted - a recurring theme in the small-cap
market. This caused the fund to slightly underperform the Russell
index during the first several months of the period. To make the fund
more manageable as I sought good opportunities, I reduced the number
of holdings. Ideally, I wanted the fund to hold 200 or fewer stocks,
and I maintained that level throughout the latter part of the period.
I also built a core foundation of long-term, stable companies to
anchor the fund with what I expect will be steady, respectable
appreciation while I continued to look for exciting undiscovered
companies to maximize return. This strategy appeared to have paid off
in the second half of the fiscal year as the fund outperformed the
Russell 2000 Index and its peer group in six out of the seven months
from October through April.
Q. THE FUND OUTPERFORMED ITS PEER GROUP DUE IN PART TO AN
OVERWEIGHTING - AND GOOD STOCK PICKING - IN MEDIA AND LEISURE STOCKS.
WHY DID YOU LIKE THESE STOCKS, AND WHICH ONES PERFORMED WELL?
A. I tried to identify companies that I believed would be good
long-term performers. For example, cable stocks provided tremendous
returns. Cable TV is one of the few businesses in America that
maintained pricing power - the ability to raise prices - over the last
couple of years, and cable providers have developed new services -
still in their infancy - that should be extremely valuable over the
long term. Videotron - the fund's biggest holding at the end of the
period - is a Canadian telecommunications company that operates cable
TV, TV broadcasting, telephone services and interactive multimedia
services, and had very strong performance. TCA Cable, another top 10
holding, is the 16th largest regional cable TV operator in the U.S. It
also performed very well.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Gemstar International, one of the fund's top holdings, manufactures
electronic devices and develops software that enhances the viewing and
recording of television programming, including the "VCR+" instant
recording device and an on-screen programming guide. It continued to
demonstrate the importance of its technology to service providers and
consumers, and successfully defended itself from a hostile takeover
effort. RealNetworks, a leader in audio and video streaming technology
for the Internet, continued to maintain its dominant market share and
forge further important strategic alliances.
Q. WHAT ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Sirrom Capital, a specialty finance company, performed poorly
following an increase in the number of its problem loans and a
decrease in the value of its warrant portfolio in a weak Initial
Public Offering market last year. Another disappointment was ESC
Medical, a maker of laser products used for cosmetic treatments. The
company experienced a sudden slowdown in the growth of its core
products and encountered integration problems from a major
acquisition. Party City had a good concept and had previously had good
earnings growth, but business conditions deteriorated during the
period and management was slow to respond. I sold these stocks from
the fund's portfolio.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I don't try to predict the direction of the economy or the overall
market. However, given the volatility of small caps in general, I put
a great deal of emphasis on owning what I perceive are only
high-quality, long-term stories, while responding to moves in stock
prices on the basis of the fundamentals of individual companies. I
also have the benefit of working with a great team of researchers
following small-cap stocks, both domestically and overseas, who follow
up on my ideas and come up with their own. That being said, I believe
that the fund is well positioned right now with a great core of
long-term, stable companies complemented by exciting new stories. My
goal is to sustain a manageable number of holdings, reduce turnover
and find good returns while minimizing risk.

in 1991
PAUL ANTICO ON FIDELITY'S
SMALL-CAP RESEARCH TEAM:
"Given the industry's increasing
focus on large-cap stocks, we took
the opportunity to restructure our
team of analysts to maximize
coverage, while increasing
opportunities to find new and
exciting small companies that
may be overlooked by others.
Each `core' analyst now follows a
smaller number of companies,
supported by a team of small-cap
analysts that follows small
companies across the entire market
spectrum.
"I get a lot of help from the `core'
analysts, but by creating the new
small-cap team, I can also send
individual members to scout out
small companies that aren't
followed regularly by Fidelity or
its competitors. This gives
Fidelity the ability to follow
companies that are generally
too small to be covered by most
investment analysts, and allows
me to get the information I need,
when I need it.
"This group also adds value by
initiating new ideas, as do other
Fidelity fund managers who are
buying small-cap stocks. All in
all, this new system has been
working well."
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
On March 17, 1999, Fidelity
Small Cap Stock Fund re-opened
to new investors.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999
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. 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 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."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
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, 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.
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 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
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT -
CONTINUED
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.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
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.
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.
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 $877,340,311 and $979,338,191, respectively.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $0 and $116,315,322, 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 .2500% 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. The fund's
performance adjustment took effect in March 1999. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .73% 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 annual rate of .23% 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 FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $123,909 for the
period.
5. 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 $3,447,400. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.25%.
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 $245,465 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby 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 fees were reduced by $14,639 under
this arrangement.
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:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments of Fidelity Small Cap Stock
Fund as of April 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then
ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets
and the financial highlights for the period March 12, 1998
(commencement of operations) to April 30, 1998 were audited by other
auditors whose report, dated June 5, 1998, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of the securities owned at April 30, 1999, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund at April 30, 1999, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

June 7, 1999
OTHER INFORMATION
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 current fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1998, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's audit report contained no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor was their report
qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
Further, there were no disagreements between the fund and
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on accounting principles, financial
statement 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
A total of 73% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.
The fund hereby designates 100% of the long-term capital gain
dividends distributed during the fiscal year as 20%-rate capital gain
dividends.
The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use
in preparing 1999 income tax returns.
OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
With 13 record-high closings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged
nearly 1,000 points in April. What's particularly noteworthy about
this performance is that, in some cases, gains were fueled by a
rotation out of growth stocks and into issues more sensitive to
economic swings. The strength in blue chips, combined with heavy
global, corporate and agency bond issuance, contributed to the
downward pressure on government security prices.
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 1-800-544-8888, 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.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
SPARTAN MARKET INDEX 21.68% 224.30% 389.05%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.82% 228.90% 398.76%
S&P 500 Index Objective Funds 21.28% 221.79% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average represents a peer group of 98 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

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 April 30, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $48,905 - a 389.05% 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 $49,876 - a
398.76% 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.

Index Fund for Bankers Trust, sub-adviser of the fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FRANK?
A. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 1999, the fund posted a
total return of 21.68% - in line with the 21.82% return for the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The fund's performance was slightly lower
than the index due to expenses. The fund also compares performance to
the S&P 500 index objective funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.,
which returned 21.28% during the same period.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. With the exception of the July through October 1998 market
correction, nothing seemed to get in the way of the U.S. equity
juggernaut. The blissful economic environment of strong domestic
growth and low inflation continued during the period with little
concern that the Federal Reserve would change its monetary policy
anytime soon. The phenomenal performance of the S&P 500, Dow Jones
Industrial Average and NASDAQ index, however, masked the sluggish
performance of the overall market. Since the October lows of last
year, the average stock on the New York Stock Exchange has declined.
Recently, however, there were some encouraging signs that market
strength was broadening beyond a handful of large-cap issues in the
financial and technology sectors to include economically sensitive
cyclical and consumer stocks.
Q. WHAT FACTORS DO YOU THINK INFLUENCED THE RECENT ROTATION INTO
CYCLICAL STOCKS?
A. There were a number of technical and fundamental causes for the
recent shift. On the technical side, the extreme euphoria in certain
segments of the equity market led some investors to believe we were in
a classic speculative bubble. The recent shift in investor perceptions
caused the mania for technology and Internet stocks to break down,
though it is too soon to tell if this weakness will continue. On the
fundamental side, the long-overlooked cyclical sector started to
outperform other industries against a backdrop of continued strong
U.S. growth and signs that global economies were beginning to turn
around. Of course, the economic conditions that are favorable for
cyclicals could lead to higher inflation, which would be bearish for
interest rates and the overall market. But here, too, it is too early
to tell if this trend will continue.
Q. LET'S SWITCH TO SOME OF THE INDEX'S SPECIFIC SECTORS. AT
APPROXIMATELY 19% OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS, TECHNOLOGY WAS THE
LARGEST WEIGHTING. HOW DID THESE STOCKS PERFORM?
A. The technology sector experienced some weakness toward the end of
the period. In general, however, these stocks provided a solid
contribution to performance. I think it is important to point out that
the S&P 500 is a market-value-weighted index. As a result, companies
such as Microsoft, Cisco Systems, IBM, Intel and America Online have a
more significant impact on the performance of the index. As these
companies produced solid earnings growth and their stocks increased,
they drove the index higher with even greater impact.
Q. FINANCE WAS THE SECOND LARGEST SECTOR IN THE INDEX. HOW DID THIS
GROUP PERFORM?
A. Early in the period, financial stocks faced a host of challenges as
investors purged a majority of financial services stocks, fearing not
just an earnings stumble but a potential global financial meltdown.
Nevertheless, it turned out the selling was overdone. Financial stocks
rallied following three interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve
Board, combined with an unusually large number of mega-mergers,
including Citicorp and Travelers, BankAmerica and Nationsbank, and
First Chicago and Bank One. Providing a further boost to financial
stocks was the prospect of improving overseas economies.
Q. UTILITIES AND HEALTH CARE STOCKS ALSO REPRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT
PERCENTAGE OF THE INDEX. WHAT WAS THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT LIKE FOR
THESE STOCKS?
A. It was somewhat mixed. In general, telephone utilities outperformed
other segments of the sector as these stocks were viewed as providing
the best earnings growth potential. Stocks such as AT&T, MCI WorldCom
and Lucent helped drive the index higher. On the health care side,
pharmaceutical companies outperformed other parts of the industry. The
large pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer and American Home
Products, which have a significant impact on the index, benefited from
their strong pipelines of profitable drugs.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS FOR THE FUND?
A. There were a few. Due to the well-diversified nature of the index,
a handful of stocks across a wide range of industries suffered from
poor performance. Shares in companies such as Compaq Computer, health
care services provider McKesson HBOC, Disney and Coca-Cola Co. all
detracted from performance as these companies reported weak business
outlooks and disappointing earnings.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. As most will admit, it's very difficult to predict the overall
direction of the market. Nevertheless, a reasonable case can be made
to say that the major equity indexes could move higher. As I alluded
to earlier, in an environment of strong U.S. growth and increasing
confidence in global markets, the long-neglected cyclical sectors
could continue to drive the S&P 500 higher. Similarly, growth stocks
could continue on their upward path if the global economy stumbles,
easing investors' concerns about the potential threat of inflation and
higher interest rates. Of course, underlying all these possible
scenarios is future earnings. If U.S. companies continue to produce
solid earnings growth, and we continue to see low interest rates and
benign inflation, the market should perform well.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1999
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. 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 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. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
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, foreign
currency 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.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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 $2,238,021,000 and $232,907,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $2,490,036,000 and $2,575,251,000, 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
annual 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,
securities lending 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. In addition, the fund pays Bankers
Trust fees equal to 40% of net income from the fund's securities
lending program. For the period, the fund paid Bankers Trust $199,000.
The fee is included in the caption "Management fee and Sub-advisory
fee" on the Statement of Operations.
On March 11, 1999, Bankers Trust announced that it had reached an
agreement with the United States Attorney's Office 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. As a result of the plea, absent an order from the SEC,
Bankers Trust would not be able to continue to provide investment
advisory services to the fund. 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.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
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 annual rate of .13% 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 $9,000 for
the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund
negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income.
The fund receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral
against the loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of
the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each
loan. This collateral must be maintained at 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. At period end, the
value of the securities loaned amounted to $266,451,000. The fund
received cash collateral of $275,965,000. The cash collateral 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 balances during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $6,356,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.8%.
7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary
expenses and sub-advisory fees paid by the fund associated with
securities lending) above an annual rate of .19% of average net
assets. For the period, the reimbursement reduced expenses by
$13,696,000.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the
7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS -

fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer
agent fees were reduced by $40,000 and $27,000, respectively, under
these arrangements.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Spartan Market Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments of Spartan Market Index Fund as
of April 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations, changes
in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended April
30, 1998, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the
four-year period ended April 30, 1998 were audited by other auditors
whose report, dated June 5, 1998, expressed an unqualified opinion on
those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of the securities owned at April 30, 1999, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Spartan Market Index Fund at April 30, 1999, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP
Boston, Massachusetts
June 7, 1999
OTHER INFORMATION
Based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of Spartan Market
Index 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 current fiscal year. For the
fiscal years ended April 30, 1998 and April 30, 1997,
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 statement 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 Spartan Market Index Fund voted to pay on
June 7, 1999, to shareholders of record at the opening of business on
June 4, 1999, a distribution of $.33 per share derived from capital
gains realized from sales of portfolio securities and a dividend of
$.49 per share from net investment income.
A total of 89.17% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.
The fund hereby designates 100% of the long-term capital gain
dividends distributed during the fiscal year as 20%-rate capital gain
dividends.
The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use
in preparing 1999 income tax returns.
OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.
