FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

STRATEGIC INCOME FUND seeks a high level of current income. The fund
may also seek capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment
strategies include:

(small solid bullet) Investing primarily in debt securities, including
lower-quality debt securities.

(small solid bullet) Allocating the fund's assets among four general
investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and
investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign
developed market securities.

(small solid bullet) Potentially investing in equity securities.

(small solid bullet) Using a neutral mix of approximately 40% high
yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets,
and 15% foreign developed markets.

(small solid bullet) Analyzing a security's structural features and
current pricing, its issuer's potential for success, and the credit,
curre ncy, a nd economic risks of the security and its issuer to
select investments.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

(small solid bullet) STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY. Stock markets are
volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer,
political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Different
parts of the market can react differently to these developments.

(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign markets, particularly
emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to
increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or
economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S.
market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic,
regulatory and political uncert ainties an d can be extremely
volatile.

(small solid bullet) PREPAYMENT. The ability of an issuer of a debt
security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause
greater price volatility if interest rates change.

(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differentl y
from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt
securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) can be more
volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political,
regulatory, market or economic dev elopments and can be difficult to
resell.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a
greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single
issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would
occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

PERFORMANCE

The following information illustrates the fund's performance over the
past year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a
market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over
various periods of time. Strategic Income also compares its
performance to the performance of a combination of market indexes over
various periods of time. Returns are based on past results and are not
an indication of future performance.

If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these
periods, the fund's returns w ould have been lower.

Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index is a market value-weighted
index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred
interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the
index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating
lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default.

Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index is a hypothetical
representation of the performance of the fund's four general
investment categories according to their respective weighting in the
fund's neutral mix (40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and
investment-grade, 15% foreign developed markets and 15% emerging
markets). The following indexes are used to calculate the composite
index: high yield - the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, U.S.
Government and investment-grade - the Lehman Brothers Government Bond
Index, foreign developed markets - the Salomon Brothers Non-U.S.
Dollar World Government Bond Index, and emerging markets - the
J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global . The index
weightings of the composite index are rebalanced monthly.

J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global is a market
value-weighted index of U.S. dollar-denominated Brady bonds,
Eurobonds, traded loans, and local market debt instruments issued by
emerging markets' sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. The index
currently covers 26 emerging market countries.

Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index is a
market value-weighted index that is designed to represent the
performance of 16 world government bond markets, excluding the United
States. Issues included in the index have fixed-rate coupons and
maturities of one year or more.

The Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index is a market value-weighted
index of U.S. Government and government agency securities (other than
mortgage securities) with maturities of one year or more.

Lipper Multi-Sector Income Funds Average reflects the
performance (excluding sales charges) of mutual funds with similar
objectives.

FEE TABLE

The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred
when you buy, h old, or sell shares of the fund. Th e
annual fund operating expenses provided below for the fund do not
reflect the effect of any expense reimbursements or reduction of
certain expenses during the period.

Management fee 0.58%

Distribution and Service None
(12b-1) fee

Other expenses 0.62%

Total annual fund operating 1.20%
expensesA

A EFFECTIVE APRIL 8, 1998, FMR HAS VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO REIMBURSE THE
FUND TO THE EXTENT THAT TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES (EXCLUDING INTEREST,
TAXES, CERTAIN SECURITIES LENDING COSTS, BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS
AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES ) , AS A PERCENTAGE OF ITS AVERAGE NET
ASSETS, EXCEED 1.10 %. THIS ARRANGEMENT CAN BE DISCONTINUED BY FMR AT
ANY TIME.

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is
used to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, through
arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a
result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian
expenses. Including these reductions, the total fund operating
expenses, after reimbursement, would have been 1.10%.

This EXAMPLE helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and
that your shareholder fees and the fund's annual operating expenses
are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates
the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or
expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For
every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total
expenses if you close your account at the end of each time
period indicated:

1 year $ 122

3 years $ 381

5 years $ 660

10 years $ 1,455

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

STRATEGIC INCOME FUND seeks a high level of current income. The fund
may also seek capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FMR expects to invest the fund's assets primarily in debt securities,
including lower-quality debt securities, allocated among four general
investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and
investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign
developed market securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in
equity securities.

The fund's neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of
investments in each category over time, is approximately 40% high
yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets,
and 15% foreign developed markets. In normal market environments, FMR
expects the fund's asset allocation to approximate the neutral mix
within a range of plus or minus 10% of assets per category, although
there are no absolute limits on the percent of assets invested in each
category. FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes
changes gradually over time to favor investments that it believes
provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective.
By allocating investments across different types of fixed-income
securities, FMR attempts to moderate the significant risks of each
category through diversification.

The HIGH YIELD category includes high-yielding, lower-quality debt
securities consisting mainly of U.S. securities. The U.S. GOVERNMENT
AND INVESTMENT-GRADE category includes mortgage securities, U.S.
Government secu rities, a nd other investment-grade U.S. dollar
denominated securities. The EMERGING MARKET category includes
corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located
in emerging markets. The FOREIGN DEVELOPED MARKET category includes
corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located
in developed foreign markets.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes
a security's structural features and current price compared to its
long-term value. In selecting foreign securities, FMR's analysis also
considers the credit, curren cy, an d economic risks associated
with the security and the country of its issuer. FMR may also consider
an issuer's potential for success in light of its current financial
condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices, interest rat es, or other factors that affect
security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund
may not achieve its objective.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES

EQUITY SECURITIES represent an ownership interest, or the right to
acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity
securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority
in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities
include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and
warrants.

DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, varia ble, or fl oating rate of interest,
and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt
securities include corporate bonds, government securities, mortgage
and other asset-backed securities, and loans and loan participations.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's yield and share
price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market
conditions and in response to other economic, politic al, o r
financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will
be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the
fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector,
and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of
investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares
of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for
them.

The following factors c a n significantly affect the fund's
performance:

STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY. The value of equity securities fluctuates in
response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In
the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response
to these developments. Different parts of the market and different
types of equity securities can react differently to these
developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from
small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from
"value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect
a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or
geographic region, or the market as a whole.

INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt securities have varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a
debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when
interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage
securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other
words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a
change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In
addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities
tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term
securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and
securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations
can involve additional risks relating to political, econom ic,
or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include
fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes;
trading, settlement, custod ial, and other operational risks;
and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of
some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign
investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and
potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign
markets can perform differently f rom the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets c an involve risks in addition to
and greater than those generally associated with investing in more
developed foreign markets. The extent of ec onomi c development;
political stability; market depth, inf rastructure, and
capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more
developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater
social, economic, regulat ory, and political uncertainties. All
of these factors c an m ake emerging market securities more
volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more
developed markets.

PREPAYMENT. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage
securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment occurs when the
issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's
maturity. Securities subject to prepayment c an offer less
potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and
similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate
environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features
on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result
in greater volatility.

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price
changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value
of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to
company, politi cal, or economic developments and can decline
significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general
or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be
thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to
sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt
securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or
periods of high interest rates.

In response to market, economic, politica l, o r other
conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy
for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect
the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment
objective.

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The poli cy di scussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to
change only by shareholder approval.

STRATEGIC INCOME FUND seeks a high level of current income. The fund
may also seek capital appreciation.

VALUING SHARES

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as
permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's
assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the
fund's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the
fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information
furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. Certain
short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If
market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not
readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for
example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by
another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects
fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method
used for determining value.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker
(including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if
authorized under state law), securities exchange or association,
clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot
provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

(small solid bullet) If you are selling some but not all of your
shares, leave at least $2,000 worth of shares in the account to keep
it open ($500 for retirement accounts), except accounts not subject to
account minimums.

(small solid bullet) Normally, Fidelity will process redemptions by
the next business day, but Fidelity may take up to seven days to
process redemptions if making immediate payment would adversely affect
the fund.

(small solid bullet) Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be
delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your
redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven
business days after a purchase.

(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),
when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

(small solid bullet) Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or
other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it
is in the best interests of the fund.

(small solid bullet) You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed redemption checks.

(small solid bullet) Unless otherwise instructed, Fidelity will send a
check to the record address.

EXCHANGING SHARES

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares
of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the
fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions
governing exchanges:

(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be
available for sale in your state.

(small solid bullet) You may exchange only between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification
number.

(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its
prospectus.

(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.

(small solid bullet) The fund may temporarily or permanently terminate
the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four
exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common
ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four
exchange limit.

(small solid bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts
held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan
exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan
materials for further information.

(small solid bullet) The fund may refuse exchange purchases by any
person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.

The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose
trading fees of up to 3.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's
prospectus for details.

FEATURES

The following features are available to buy and sell shares of the

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT AND WITHDRAWAL PROGRAMS. Fidelity offers
convenient services that let you automatically transfer money into
your account, between acco unts, or out of your account. While
automatic investment programs do not guarantee a profit and will not
protect you against loss in a declining market, they can be an
excellent way to invest for retirement, a home, educational expenses,
and other long-term financial goals. Automatic withdrawal or exchange
programs can be a convenient way to provide a consistent income flow
or to move money between your investments.

POLICIES

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

STATEMENTS AND REPORTS that Fidelity sends to you include the
following:

(small solid bullet) Confirmation statements (after transactions
affecting your account balance except reinvestment of distributions in
the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic
investment or withdrawal programs).

(small solid bullet) Monthly or quarterly account statements
(detailing account balances and all transactions completed during the
prior month or quarter).

(small solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and
prospectuses will be mailed to your household, even if you have more
than one account in the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you
need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are
available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's
electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web
site for more information.

You may initiate many TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONICALLY.
Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures
designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity
recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You
should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately
after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and
exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

When you sign your ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.

Fidelity may deduct an ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00 from accounts
with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual maximum charge
of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will be valued
on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after
September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will
not be deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts
(except non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular
investment plans, or if total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000.
Eligibility for the $30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating
accounts with Fidelity maintained by Fidelity Service Company, Inc. or
FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or
which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.

If your ACCOUNT BALANCE falls below $2,000 (except accounts not
subject to account minimums), you will be given 30 days' notice to
reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance,
Fidelity may close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your
shares will be sold at the NAV on the day your account is closed.

Fidelity may charge a FEE FOR CERTAIN SERVICES, such as
providing historical account documents.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

The fund earns interest, divid ends, a nd other income from its
investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to
shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from
its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to
shareholders as capital ga in d istributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The
fund normally pays cap ital gain distributions in February and
December .

EARNING DIVIDENDS

Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the
day of purchase.

Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day
following the day of redemption.

DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. The following options may be available for
the fund's distributions:

1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividends and capital g ain
distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional
shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.

2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital ga in d istributions will
be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your
dividends will be paid in cash.

3. CASH OPTION. Your dividends and capital g ain distri butions
will be paid in cash.

4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividends
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gai n di stributions will
be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered
Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the
U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution
option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not
receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution
checks.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax
consequences for you. If you are not investing through a
tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax
consequences.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions you receive from the fund are
subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or
local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, the fund's dividends and distributions of
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary inco me,
while the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are
taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized
in any year, which is sometimes the result of currency-related losses,
all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as a return of
capital to shareholders for tax purposes. A return of capital
generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the
cost basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain
or a lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
i ncome or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by
paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of
the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be
taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution
option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest
distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you
will receive certain December distributions in January, but those
distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may
result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital
gain or loss on your investment in the fund g enerally is the
difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.

investments for the fund.

FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 29, 1999, FIMM had

owned subsidiary of FMR.

John Carlson is v ice pre sident and lead manager of Strategic
Income, which he has managed since inception. He also manages other
Fidelity funds. Prior to joining Fidelity in 1995, Mr. Carlson was
executive director of emerging markets at Lehman Brothers
International from 1992 through 1995.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee
may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry,
or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views
of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the
Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any
time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any
responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on
as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity
fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an
indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is
calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by
adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by
twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets
throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 1999, the group fee rate was 0.1267%. The individual
fund fee rate is 0.45%.

After reimbursement, the total management fee for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999, wa s 0.48 % of the fund' s
average net assets.

FMR pays FIMM, FMR U.K., FMR Far East and FIIA for providing
sub-advisory service s, and FIIA in turn pays
FIIA(U.K.)L. FMR Far East pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory
services.

FMR will pay FMRC for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements,
which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease the
fund's expenses and boost its performance.

As of December 31, 1999, approximately 25.71% of the fund's total
outstanding shares were held by FMR.

FUND DISTRIBUTION

FDC d istributes the fund's shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that
FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits
or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses
incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in
the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR,
directly or through FDC, may pay intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such
payments.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund
receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those
of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related
statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the fund or FDC. This pro spectus and the related
SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares
of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it
is unlaw ful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

T he following policies and limitations supplement those set
forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an
investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the
fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or
sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or
percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a
result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset.
Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other
circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the
investment complies with the fund's investment policies and
limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:

(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;

(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;

(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;

(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;

(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);

(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or

(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.

(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity
Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.

THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL:

(i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits
imposed by Subchapter M.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.

(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (2)) .

(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15%
o f the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or
portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser
or (b) acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct
debt instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or
successor with substantially the same fundamental investment
objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the
fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of
any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that
no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities
of any one issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments
in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter
M) and securities of other investment companies. These tax
requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the
fund's taxable year.

With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid
securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 34.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types
of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FM R) may employ in pursuit of the
fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may
not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless
it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.

AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of mortgages,
loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment
of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by
the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by
letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors
including changes in interest rates, the availability of information
concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the
servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or
receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In
addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.

CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in
cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase
agreements or shares of money market funds. Generally, these
securities offer less potential for gains than other types of
securities.

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS are money market funds managed by FMR or its
affiliates that seek to earn a high level of current income (free from
federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The funds comply with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity , and diversification of their investments.

COMMON STOCK represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer.
In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the
claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the
claims of those who own common stock.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks
or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder
or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash
or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A
convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion
by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances
(including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible
security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the
fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into
the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss
than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields
higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than
comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield,
convertible securities generally sell at prices above their
"conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to
be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion
value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time
depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and
interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value,
convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent
because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of
principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities.
However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of
the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same
extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the
underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible
securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time,
however, the difference between the market value of convertible
securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that
the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the
same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because
convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their
value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest
rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk,
and are often lower-quality securities.

COUNTRIES NOT CONSIDERED TO HAVE EMERGING MARKETS. As of
December 31, 1999, the following countries are not considered to have
emerging markets: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom, and the United States.

EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political,
economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or
unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by
actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S.
investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization
of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or
on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S.
dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental
issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest
and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for
payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able
to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In
addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies
and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities
will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcu stodian. In addi tion, the
costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding
taxes, brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher
than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S.
markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and
standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available,
and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding
corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall
governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges,
brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets
tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain
countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be
influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have
difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the
United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less
liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject
to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of
ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global
Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of
shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by
depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the
United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by
a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home
country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the
underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various
services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate
actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying
foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However,
ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with
investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign
exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the
underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in
emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be
significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets,
reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established
markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets
may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of
nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and
prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less
protection of property rights than more developed countries. The
economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a
few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global
trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt
burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small
number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to
increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of
holdings difficult or impossible at times.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. A fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by
entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge
a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the
difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign
currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should
the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward
contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount
of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a
specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are
generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The
parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the
contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and
complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management
strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A
fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and
futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same
purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a
fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the
date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is
made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or
sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying
security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or
sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of
future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign
currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected
by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return
for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's
value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge,"
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations,
but would not offset changes in security values caused by other
factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another
currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would
not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S.
dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to
hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged
securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment
exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting
exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign
currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes
known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to
the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that
is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one
currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another.
Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the
hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of
fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's
skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may
substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in
currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if
currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a
currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling
that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in
the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through
proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge
and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem.
Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency
and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There
is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views
on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors,
and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters
could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment
in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either
individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others,
supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate
structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's
directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or
policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a
portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third-party takeover
efforts. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to
litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities
with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of
litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund
is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that
litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities
incurred.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures
Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and
Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put
and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options
positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction
costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in
options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.

FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a
specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price
at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer
and seller enter into the contract. Futures can be held until their
delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary
market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.

FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.

LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase
put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of
the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under
normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options
if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or
exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would
exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a
result, the current value of option premiums for call options
purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets.
These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or
traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to
securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts
and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and
options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed as regulatory
agencies permit.

LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except
that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and
are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency
futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The
underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency,
which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S.
dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency
call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the
purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying
currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to
options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed
above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase
and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to
different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased
or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or
forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected
to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors
that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for
example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in
the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting
from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value
of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to
many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to
match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the
fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not
traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation
with the other party to the option contract. While this type of
arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to
tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater
credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the
clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation
to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the
other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek
to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out
the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the
secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer
must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on
a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to
an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may
be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume
of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it
trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics
and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other
credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the
method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the
security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and
obligations of the security).

INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to the
prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other
financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always,
are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate
is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to
intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest
rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more
specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S.
dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be
positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may
increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a
security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument,
or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase,
resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a
put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also
have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign
currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which
they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes
in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also
subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the
security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's
creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities
have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government
agencies.

INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will lend
through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from an investment in repurchase agreements, and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the
cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Investment-grade debt securities are
medium and high-quality securities. Some may possess speculative
characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to
changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is
considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by
Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., or Fitch IBCA Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.

ISSUER LOCATION. FMR determines where an issuer is located by looking
at such factors as the issuer's country of organization, the primary
trading market for the issuer's securities, and the location of the
issuer's assets, personnel, sales, and earnings. The issuer of a
security is considered to be located in a particular country if (1)
the security is issued or guaranteed by the government of the country
or any of its agencies, political subdivisions, or instrumentalities;
(2) the security has its primary trading market in that country; or
(3) the issuer is organized under the laws of that country, derives at
least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods sold, investments
made, or services performed in the country, or has at least 50% of its
assets located in the country.

LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Direct debt instruments are
interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other
borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan
participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or
other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments
involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the
borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the
event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement
that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend
primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of
interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or
principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be
adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more
protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make
scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no
assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would
satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be
liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor
involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative.
Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off
their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount
owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk
that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the
debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal
when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial
institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional
risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could
become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and
liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In
addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of
lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender.
Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the
lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution
that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of
the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms
of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse
against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to
apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held
by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be
subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser
might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan
or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or
interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit
facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate
purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These
commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase
its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise
have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that
the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any
one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's
investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund
generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held
by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other
lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund
and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the
direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC
interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat
both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as
"issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an
issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in
indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of
intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying
borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities have poor
protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of
principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered
to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of
lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of
higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity
of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt
securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially
important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt
to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial
condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is
expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative
values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset
coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial
strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security
holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it
determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

MORTGAGE SECURITIES are issued by government and non-government
entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A
mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage
or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of
mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage
obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest
at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest
payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like
a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of
mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential
properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest
and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold
as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security,
the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the
principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder
of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from
the same underlying mortgage.

Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,
which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on
Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered
corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as
governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress.
Fannie Mae is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its
obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the
market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In
addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage
securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may
offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also
may be subject to greater price changes than government issues.
Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk
that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages,
usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in
the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested
subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a
rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be
adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not
occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's
effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate
sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped
mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in
interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy
that involves selling mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing
to purchase similar securities on a later date at a set price. This
trading strategy may result in an increased portfolio turnover rate
which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

PREFERRED STOCK represents an equity or ownership interest in an
issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence
over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer
is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds
take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common
stock.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS. Equity real estate investment trusts
own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment
trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans.
Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying
property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property
taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as
those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent
upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy
cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the
possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under
the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the
1940 Act.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal restrictions on their sale.
Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to
a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately
negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.
Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security
may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a
considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek
registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under
an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's
yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES, including shares of
closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end
investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed
portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in
other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as
investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve
additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio
management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment
companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed
number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at
a premium or a discount to their net asset value. Others are
continuously offered at net asset value, but may also be traded in the
secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other
investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

SECURITIES LENDING. A fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) and a subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the
securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The
borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal
to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability
to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving
material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults
on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of
insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs
in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the
collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign
securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a
fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in
the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value
of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment
is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be
in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would
justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested
in other eligible securities. Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation
or depreciation.

SHORT SALES. Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings
can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the
price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund,
it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines,
the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a
portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the
convertible security. The fund currently intends to hedge no more than
15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities
underlying its convertible security holdings under normal
circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and
amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable
into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while
the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs,
including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining,
and closing short sales.

SOURCES OF LIQ UIDITY OR CREDIT SUP PORT. Issuers may employ
various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters
of credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance
provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other
financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit
of the liq uidity or credit enhancement p rovider in determining
whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In
evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR
will consider whether adequate public information about the entity is
available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable
political or economic developments, currency controls, or other
government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its
commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the entity providing the
enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share
price.

SOVEREIGN DEBT OBLIGATIONS are issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments or their agencies, including debt of Latin American
nations or other developing countries. Sovereign debt may be in the
form of conventional securities or other types of debt instruments
such as loans or loan participations. Sovereign debt of developing
countries may involve a high degree of risk, and may be in default or
present the risk of default. Governmental entities responsible for
repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal
and pay interest when due, and may require renegotiation or
rescheduling of debt payments. In addition, prospects for repayment of
principal and payment of interest may depend on political as well as
economic factors. Although some sovereign debt, such as Brady Bonds,
is collateralized by U.S. Government securities, repayment of
principal and payment of interest is not guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.

STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of
a debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are
similar to those of other debt securities, although stripped
securities may be more volatile, and the value of certain types of
stripped securities may move in the same direction as interest rates.
U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a Federal Reserve
Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.

Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer
deposits a U.S. Treasury security or other U.S. Government security
with a custodian for safekeeping. The custodian issues separate
receipts for the coupon payments and the principal payment, which the
dealer then sells.

SWAP AGREEMENTS can be individually negotiated and structured to
include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or
market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may
increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest
rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such
as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many
different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments
only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a
fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap
obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified
interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an
interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a
specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest
rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from
one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to
exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the
swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S.
interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and
interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or
writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may
increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments
and its share price and yield.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is
the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors
that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a
swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be
prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the
counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap
agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.
A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement
either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an
offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly
creditworthy party.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES. The fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in investment-grade securities for temporary,
defensive purposes.

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments
in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities
provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
while floating rate securities have interest rates that change
whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate. Some
variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features
that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance
plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial
intermediaries.

WARRANTS. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an
equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time.
Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to
changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a
warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying
security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital
appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in
the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if
it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can
make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS involve a
commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined
price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the
customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the
purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the
risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security
will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities
is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition
to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains
substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding,
the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a
security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not
participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security.
If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver
or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or
yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may
sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in
capital gains or losses for the fund.

ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make interest payments; instead, they are
sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of
fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a
fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon
bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CANADA

POLITICAL. Canada's parliamentary system of government is,
in general, stable. However, from time to time, some provinces, but
particularly Quebec, have called for a revamping of the legal and
financial relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and
the provinces. To date, referendums on Quebec sovereignty have been
defeated, but the issue remains unresolved. The Supreme Court of
Canada decided in August 1998 that if there was a "clear answer" to a
"clear question" in a referendum, then the federal government would be
obliged to negotiate with Quebec.

ECONOMIC. Canada is a major producer of commodities such as
forest products, metals, agricultural products, and energy related
products like oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. Accordingly, changes in
the supply and demand of industrial and basic materials, both
domestically and internationally, can have a significant effect on
Canadian market performance.

In addition, Canada relies considerably on the health of the United
States' economy, its biggest trading partner and largest foreign
investor. The expanding economic and financial integration of the
United States and Canada will likely make the Canadian economy and
securities market increasingly sensitive to U.S. economic and market
events.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign
currency entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing
in the domestic market. Since Canada let its currency float in 1970,
its value has been in a steady decline against the U.S. dollar. While
the decline has helped Canada stay competitive in export markets, U.S.
investors have seen their investment returns eroded by the impact of
currency conversion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING EUROPE

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the
European Union (EU) fixed their currencies irrevocably to the euro,
the new unit of currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union
(EMU). At that time each member's currency was converted at a fixed
rate to the euro. Initially, use of the euro will be confined mainly
to the wholesale financial markets, while its widespread use in the
retail sector will follow the circulation of euro banknotes and coins
on January 1, 2002. At that time, the national banknotes and coins of
participating member countries will cease to be legal tender. In
addition to adopting a single currency, member countries will no
longer control their own monetary policies. Instead, the authority to
direct monetary policy will be exercised by the new European Central
Bank.

While economic and monetary convergence in the European Union may
offer new opportunities for those investing in the region, investors
should be aware that the success of the union is not wholly assured.
Europe must grapple with a number of challenges, any one of which
could threaten the survival of this monumental undertaking. Eleven
disparate economies must adjust to a unified monetary system, the
absence of exchange rate flexibility, and the loss of economic
sovereignty. The Continent's economies are diverse, its governments
decentralized, and its cultures differ widely. Unemployment is
historically high and could pose political risk. One or more member
countries might exit the union, placing the currency and banking
system in jeopardy.

POLITICAL. For those countries in Western and Eastern Europe
that were not included in the first round of the EU implementation,
the prospects for eventual membership serve as a strong political
impetus for many governments to employ tight fiscal and monetary
policies. Particularly for the Eastern European countries, aspirations
to join the EU are likely to push governments to act decisively.

At the same time, there could become an increasingly widening gap
between rich and poor within the aspiring countries, those countries
who are close to meeting membership criteria, and those who are not
likely to join the EMU. Realigning traditional alliances could alter
trading relationships and potentially provoke divisive socioeconomic
splits. Despite relative calm in Western Europe in recent years, the
risk of regional conflict or targeted terrorist activity could disrupt
European markets.

In the transition to the single economic system, significant
political decisions will be made which will effect the market
regulation, subsidization, and privatization across all industries,
from agricultural products to telecommunications.

ECONOMIC. As economic conditions across member states vary
from robust to dismal, there is continued concern about national-level
support for the currency and the accompanying coordination of fiscal
and wage policy among the eleven EMU member nations. According to the
Maastrich treaty, member countries must maintain inflation below 3.3%,
public debt below 60% of GDP, and a deficit of 3% or less of GDP to
qualify for participation in the euro. These requirements severely
limit member countries' ability to implement monetary policy to
address regional economic conditions. Countries that did not qualify
for the euro, such as Greece, risk being left farther behind.

FOREIGN TRADE. The EU has recently been involved in a number
of trade disputes with major trading partners, including the United
States. Tariffs and embargoes have been levied upon imports of
agricultural products and meat that have resulted in the affected
nation levying retaliatory tariffs upon imports from Europe. These
disputes can adversely affect the valuations of the European companies
that export the targeted products.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign
currency entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing
in the domestic market. However, investing in euro-denominated
securities entails risk of being exposed to a new currency that may
not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate
economies that make up the Union. This has been the case in the first
six months of 1999, when the initial exchange rates of the euro versus
many of the world's major currencies steadily declined. In this
environment, U.S. and other foreign investors experienced erosion of
their investment returns in the region. In addition, many European
countries rely heavily upon export dependent businesses and any
strength in the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar can have
either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

GERMANY. The German economy is heavily industrialized, with
a strong emphasis on manufacturing and exports. Therefore, Germany's
economic growth is heavily dependent on the prosperity of its trading
partners and on currency exchange rates. Germany is closely tied to a
number of Eastern European emerging market economies and weakness in
these economies will likely dampen demand for German exports. Germany
continues to struggle with its incorporation of former East Germany
and the country as a whole faces high labor costs and high
unemployment.

FRANCE. In recent years, the country's economic growth has
been hit by a series of general strikes. France's strong labor unions
reacted negatively to government cuts driven by the country's effort
to meet EMU membership criteria. Recently, unions have demanded a
lower retirement age and a shorter work week. Economic growth also is
limited by the country's pay-as-you-go pension system; spending on
pensions accounts for about 10% of GDP.

NORDIC COUNTRIES. Faced with stronger global competition,
the Nordic countries- Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden have had to
scale down their historically generous welfare programs, resulting in
drops in domestic demand and increased unemployment. Major industries
in the region, such as forestry, agriculture, and oil, are heavily
resource dependent and face pressure as a result of high labor costs.
Pension reform, union regulation, and further cuts in liberal social
programs will likely need to be addressed as the Nordic countries face
increased international competition.

UNITED KINGDOM. The United Kingdom continues to be overtly
less enthusiastic about EMU than other countries in Europe and has not
committed itself to joining the euro. While the UK views independence
from the EMU as a competitive advantage, the country may not benefit
from its independence if economic conditions on the continent improve.
If the continental European stock markets make more compelling
prospects for economic growth, there is concern that the UK market may
lag its European counterparts.

EASTERN EUROPE. Investing in the securities of Eastern
European issuers is highly speculative and involves risks not usually
associated with investing in the more developed markets of Western
Europe.

The economies of the Eastern European nations are embarking on the
transition from communism at different paces with appropriately
different characteristics. Most Eastern European markets suffer from
thin trading activity, dubious investor protections, and often, a
dearth of reliable corporate information. Information and transaction
costs, differential taxes, and sometimes political or transfer risk
give a comparative advantage to the domestic investor rather than the
foreign investor. In addition, these markets are particularly
sensitive to political, economic, and currency events in Russia and
have recently suffered heavy losses as a result of their trading and
investment links to the troubled Russian economy and currency.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JAPAN

Fueled by public investment, protectionist trade policies, and
innovative management styles, the Japanese economy has transformed
itself since World War II into the world's second largest economy.
Despite its impressive history, investors face special risks when
investing in Japan.

ECONOMIC. Since Japan's bubble economy collapsed eight years
ago, the nation has drifted between modest growth and recession. By
mid-year 1998, the world's second largest economy had slipped into its
deepest recession since World War II. Much of the blame can be placed
on government inaction in implementing long-neglected structural
reforms despite strong and persistent prodding from the International
Monetary Fund and the G7 member nations. Steps have been taken to
deregulate and liberalize protected areas of the economy, but the pace
of change has been disappointedly slow.

The most pressing need for action is the daunting task of
overhauling the nation's financial institutions and securing public
support for taxpayer-funded bailouts. Banks, in particular, must
dispose of their huge overhang of bad loans and trim their balance
sheets in preparation for greater competition from foreign
institutions as more areas of the financial sector are opened.
Successful financial sector reform would allow Japan's financial
institutions to act as a catalyst for economic recovery at home and
across the troubled Asian region.

FOREIGN TRADE. Much of Japan's economy is dependent upon
international trade. The country is a leading exporter of automobiles
and industrial machinery as well as industrial and consumer
electronics. While the United States is Japan's largest single trading
partner, close to half of Japan's trade is conducted with developing
nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia. For the past two
years, Southeast Asia's economies have been mired in economic
stagnation causing a steep decline in Japan's exports to the area.
Much of Japan's hopes for economic recovery and renewed export growth
is largely dependent upon the pace of economic recovery in Southeast
Asia.

NATURAL RESOURCE DEPENDENCY. An island nation with limited
natural resources, Japan is also heavily dependent upon imports of
essential products such as oil, forest products, and industrial
metals. Accordingly, Japan's industrial sector and domestic economy
are highly sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity
prices. In addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S.
dollars and any strength in the exchange rate between the yen and the
dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate
profits.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The Japanese islands have been subjected
to periodic natural disasters including earthquakes, monsoons, and
tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic
disruption upon the nation's populace and industries.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASIA PACIFIC REGION (EX JAPAN)

Many countries in the region have historically faced political
uncertainty, corruption, military intervention, and social unrest.
Examples include the ethnic, sectarian, and separatist violence found
in Indonesia, and the nuclear arms threats between India and Pakistan.
To the extent that such events continue in the future, they can be
expected to have a negative effect on economic and securities market
conditions in the region.

ECONOMIC. The economic health of the region depends, in
great part, on each country's respective ability to carry out fiscal
and monetary reforms and its ability to address the International
Monetary Fund's mandated benchmarks. The majority of the countries in
the region can be characterized as either developing or newly
industrialized economies, which tend to experience more volatile
economic cycles than developed countries. In addition, a number of
countries in the region have historically faced hyperinflation, a
deterrent to productivity and economic growth.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any currency
entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing in the
domestic market. Some countries in the region may impose restrictions
on converting local currency, effectively preventing foreigners from
selling assets and repatriating funds. While flexible exchange rates
through most of the region should allow greater control of domestic
liquidity conditions, the region's currencies generally face
above-average volatility with potentially negative implications for
economic and security market conditions.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The Asia Pacific region has been
subjected to periodic natural disasters such as earthquakes, monsoons,
and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial
economic disruption upon the populace and industry of the countries in
that region.

CHINA AND HONG KONG. As with all transition economies,
China's ability to develop and sustain a credible legal, regulatory,
monetary, and socioeconomic system could influence the course of
outside investment. Hong Kong is closely tied to China, economically
and through China's 1997 acquisition of the country as a Special
Autonomous Region (SAR). Hong Kong's success depends, in large part,
on its ability to retain the legal, financial and monetary systems
that allow economic freedom and market expansion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING LATIN AMERICA

As an emerging market, Latin America has long suffered from
political, economic, and social instability. For investors, this has
meant additional risk caused by periods of regional conflict,
political corruption, totalitarianism, protectionist measures,
nationalization, hyperinflation, debt crises, and currency
devaluation. However, much has changed in the past decade. Democracy
is beginning to become well established in some countries. A move to a
more mature and accountable political environment is well under way.
Domestic economies have been deregulated and have enjoyed sound levels
of growth. Privatization of state-owned companies is almost completed.
Foreign trade restrictions have been relaxed. Large fiscal deficits
have been reduced and inflation controlled. Nonetheless, the volatile
stock markets of 1998 have clearly demonstrated that investors in the
region continue to face a number of potential risks.

POLITICAL. While investors recently have benefited from
friendlier forms of government, the Latin American political climate
is still vulnerable to sudden changes. Many countries in the region
have been in recession and have faced high unemployment. Corruption
remains part of the political landscape. This could lead to social
unrest and changes in governments that are less favorable to
investors. The investor friendly trends of social, economic, and
market reforms seen over the past several years could be reversed.
Also, as has historically been the case, the stock markets may be
subject to increased volatility as some countries approach elections:
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Peru.

SOCIAL UNREST. Latin America continues to suffer from one of
the most inequitable distributions of wealth in the world, as well as
rampant delinquency and street crime. The recent reforms and the move
to democracy, which were initially welcomed by the population, so far
have failed to significantly improve the living conditions of the
majority of people. This could lead to social unrest, occasional labor
strikes, rebellion, or civil war.

ECONOMIC. Many countries in the region have experienced
periods of hyperinflation which adversely impacted and may continue to
impact their economies and local stock markets. Despite signs that
inflation has been tamed, the risk of hyperinflation persists.

FOREIGN TRADE. One key to the recent economic growth in the
region has been the reduction of trade barriers and a series of
free-trade agreements. These are currently under pressure given the
recent macro-economic imbalances between many trading partners. One
example would be Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay,
and Paraguay. As long as the economies perform well and the regimes
maintain similar economic and currency policies, all will benefit from
this agreement. However, the recent devaluation of Brazil's currency,
combined with recessions in the region, has created tension between
the largest trading partners, Brazil and Argentina. This could
threaten the pace of vital trade integration and regional economic
stability.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign
market entails the risk of currency fluctuations; any weakness in the
local currency could erode the investment returns to U.S. investors
upon currency conversion. As is typical of emerging markets, Latin
America has a long history of currency devaluation, evidenced by the
Mexican peso crisis and the more recent Brazilian devaluation. The
region remains exposed to currency speculators, particularly if the
economic or political conditions worsen. Countries where the currency
is artificially pegged to the dollar are most at risk. For example,
predatory speculation may shift to Argentina if the cost of
maintaining the currency board reaches an unsustainable level given
the negative impact of the Brazilian devaluation, the economic
recession, the deterioration of the foreign trade balances, and the
mounting fiscal deficit.

SOVEREIGN DEBT. Although austerity programs in many
countries have significantly reduced fiscal deficits, the region is
still facing significant debt. Interest on the debt is subject to
market conditions and may reach levels that would impair economic
activity and create a difficult and costly environment for borrowers.
In addition, governments may be forced to reschedule or freeze their
debt repayment, which could negatively impact the stock market.

NATURAL RESOURCES DEPENDENCY. Commodities such as
agricultural products, minerals, and metals account for a significant
percentage of exports of many Latin American countries. As a result,
these economies have been particularly sensitive to the fluctuation of
commodity prices. As an example, Chile has been affected by the change
in the prices of copper and pulp, which has adversely affected its
economy and stock market. Similarly, because the U.S. is Mexico's
largest trading partner - accounting for more than four-fifths of its
exports - any economic downturn in the U.S. economy could adversely
impact the Mexican economy and stock market.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The region has been subjected to periodic
natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. These events have
often inflicted substantial damage upon the populations and the
economy. More recently, weather disorders attributed to the "El Nino"
effect have placed a serious drag on the economy of some countries,
such as Peru and Ecuador.
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS. As is typical of many
emerging markets, many companies in the region are still controlled by
families and their associates. Accordingly, these owners may not
always act in the best interests of public shareholders. In addition,
rules for disclosing financial information are less stringent, which
increases the difficulty of accessing reliable and viable
information.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING RUSSIA

Investing in Russian securities is highly speculative and involves
greater risks than generally encountered when investing in the
securities markets of the U.S. and most other developed countries.
Over the past century, Russia has experienced political and economic
turbulence and has endured decades of communist rule under which tens
of millions of its citizens were collectivized into state agricultural
and industrial enterprises. For most of the past decade, Russia's
government has been faced with the daunting task of stabilizing its
domestic economy, while transforming it into a modern and efficient
structure able to compete in international markets and respond to the
needs of its citizens. However, to date, many of the country's
economic reform initiatives have floundered as the proceeds of IMF and
other economic assistance have been squandered or stolen. In this
environment, there is always the risk that the nation's government
will abandon the current program of economic reform and replace it
with radically different political and economic policies that would be
detrimental to the interests of foreign investors. This could entail a
return to a centrally planned economy and nationalization of private
enterprises similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union. As
recently as 1998, the government imposed a moratorium on the repayment
of its international debt and the restructuring of the repayment
terms.

Foreign investors also face a high degree of currency risk when
investing in Russian securities. In a surprise move in August 1998,
Russia devalued the ruble, defaulted on short-term domestic bonds, and
declared a moratorium on commercial debt payments. In light of these
and other recent government actions, foreign investors face the
possibility of further devaluations. In addition, there is the risk
the government may impose capital controls on foreign portfolio
investments in the event of extreme financial or political crisis.
Such capital controls would prevent the sale of a portfolio of foreign
assets and the repatriation of proceeds.

Many of Russia's businesses have failed to mobilize the available
factors of production because the country's privatization program
virtually ensured the predominance of the old management teams that
are largely non-market-oriented in their management approach. A
combination of poor accounting standards, inept management, endemic
corruption, and limited shareholder rights pose a significant risk,
particularly to foreign investors.

Compared to most national stock markets, the Russian securities
market suffers from a variety of problems not encountered in more
developed markets. Among these are thin trading activity, inadequate
regulatory protection for the rights of investors, and lax custody
procedures. Additionally, there is a dearth of solid corporate
information available to investors.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent upon the export of a range
of commodities including most industrial metals, forestry products,
oil, and gas. Accordingly, it is strongly affected by international
commodity prices and is particularly vulnerable to any weakening in
global demand for these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING AFRICA

Africa is a highly diverse and politically unstable continent of
over 50 countries and 840 million people. Civil wars, coups, and even
genocidal warfare have beset much of this region in recent years.
Nevertheless, the continent is home to an abundance of natural
resources, including natural gas, aluminum, crude oil, copper, iron,
bauxite, cotton, diamonds, and timber. Wealthier African countries
generally have strong connections to European partners; evidence of
these relationships is seen in the growing market capitalization and
foreign investment. Economic performance remains closely tied to world
commodity markets, particularly oil, as well as agricultural
conditions, such as drought.

Several Northern African countries have substantial oil reserves
and, accordingly, their economies react strongly to world oil prices.
They share a regional and sometimes religious identification with the
oil producing nations of the Middle East and can be strongly affected
by political and economic developments in those countries. As in the
south, weather conditions have a strong impact on many of their
natural resources, as was the case in 1995, when severe drought
adversely affected economic growth.

Several African countries have active equity markets, many
established since 1989. The oldest market, in Egypt, was established
in 1883, while the youngest, in Zambia, was established in 1994. The
mean age for all equity markets is 40 years old. A total of 1,830
firms are listed on the respective exchanges. With the exception of
the relatively large and liquid South African stock market,
sub-Saharan Africa is probably the riskiest of all the world's
emerging markets.

During the past two decades, sub-Saharan Africa has lagged behind
other developing regions in economic growth. The area attracts only a
modest share of foreign direct investment and remains highly dependent
on foreign aid. The financial markets are small and underdeveloped and
offer little regulatory protection for investors. Except for South
Africa, the most fundamental problems in all of the countries in the
region are the absence of an effective court system to ensure the
enforceability of contracts. Investors in the area generally face a
high risk of continuing political and economic instability as well as
currency exchange rate volatility.

SOUTH AFRICA. South Africa has a highly developed and
industrialized economy. It is rich in mineral resources and is the
world's largest producer and exporter of gold. The nation's new
government has made remarkable progress in consolidating the nation's
peaceful transition to democracy and in redressing the socioeconomic
disparities created by apartheid. It has a sophisticated financial
structure with a large and active stock exchange that ranks 19th in
the world in terms of market capitalization. Nevertheless, investors
in South Africa face a number of risks common to other developing
regions. The nation's heavy dependence upon the export of natural
resources makes its economy and stock market vulnerable to weak global
demand and declines in commodity prices. The country's currency
reserves have been a constant problem and its currency can be
vulnerable to devaluation. There is also the risk that ethnic and
civic conflict could result in the abandonment of many of the nation's
free market reforms to the detriment of shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness
of any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of
fund expenses.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice concerning the
value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or
selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of investment accounts; and effect securities transactions
and perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).

The selection of such broker-dealers for transactions in equity
securities is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent
with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking of
broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff based
upon the quality of research and execution services provided.

For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.

The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.

Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.

Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, the
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund
or its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, FMR is authorized to
allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account
assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or
other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and
other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may use research
services provided by and place agency transactions with National
Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity Brokerage Services
Japan LLC (FBSJ), indirect subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if the
commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions
charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar
services.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.

Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for investment accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless
certain requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.

The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fund's
portfolio turnover rates were 134% and 97% (annualized),
respectively.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and 1998, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $58 and $0, respectively. The fund may
pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of
portfolio transactions.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the fund paid $58
in brokerage commissions to firms that provided research services
involving approximately $65,263 of transactions. The provision of
research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all
this business with such firms.

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those
o f other funds or investm ent accounts managed by FMR or its
affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the
portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its
liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares
outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the
primary market or exchange on which they trade. Fixed-income
securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily
available may be valued at market values determined by such
securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may
be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service
that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing
servic es or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United
States are valued at last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at
the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary
market is outside the United States are valued using the official
closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which
they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is
unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is
used.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment
companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign
securities in their local currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates
daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the
local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities
from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the
value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days
to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that
is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security
occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security
is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value
of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more
accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example,
securities and other assets for which there is no readily available
market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the
value of a security, the committee may review price movements in
futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask
quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, yield
and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other
factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.

YIELD CALCULATIONS. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the
fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month
period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to
receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the
fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result
(assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual
percentage rate. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations
in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and
bond funds. Dividends from equity investments are treated as if they
were accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield
calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to
bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a
portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased
with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. For the fund's investments denominated in
foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their
respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either
when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one
month period, whichever is earlier. Income is adjusted to reflect
gains and losses from principal repayments received by a fund with
respect to mortgage-related securities and other asset-backed
securities. Other capital gains and losses generally are excluded from
the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate
fluctuations.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield
may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account,
or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

In calculating the fund's yield, a fund may from time to time use a
portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in
order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will
have the effect of reducing the fund's yield.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance
and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing
market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling,
the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of
its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower
yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the
fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be expected to occur.

RETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects
of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over
a stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over
a stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of
100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%,
which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth
on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a
convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors
should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over time,
but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns
represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged
or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns
may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital
gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of
these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted
on a before-tax or after-tax basis. After-tax returns reflect the
return of a hypothetical account after payment of federal and/or state
taxes using assumed tax rates. After-tax returns may assume that taxes
are paid at the time of distribution or once a year or are paid in
cash or by selling shares, that shares are held through the entire
period, sold on the last day of the period, or sold at a future date,
and distributions are reinvested or paid in cash. Returns may or
may not include the effect of the fund's small account fee. Excluding
the fund's small account fee from a return calculation produces a
higher return figure. Returns, yields and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.

NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted
NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An
adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects
all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's
adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows the
fund's yield and returns for the fiscal period ended December 31,
1999.

* From May 1, 1998 (commencement of operations).

Note: If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these
periods, the fund's returns would have been lower.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the
fund's cumulative return. The table compares the fund's return to the
recor d of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500(registered
trademark)), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of
living, as measu red by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the
same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how
the fund's return compared to the record of a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of
stocks of major industri al companies, respectively, over the same
period. Because the fund invests in fixed-income securities, common
stocks represent a different type of investment from the fund. Common
stocks generally offer greater growth potential than the fund, but
generally experience greater price volatility, which means greater
potential for loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower
income than a fixed-income investment such as the fund. The S&P 500
and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks
and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage
commissions or other costs of investing.

During the period from May 1, 1998 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 1999, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Strategic
Income would have grown to $10,648, assuming all distributions were
reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an
indicat ion of future performance. Tax consequences of different
investments have not been factored into the figures below.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the
fund on May 1, 1998, the net amount invested in fund shares was
$10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with
the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain
distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time
they were reinvested) amounted to $11,215. If distributions had not
been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over
time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would
have amounted to $1,147 for dividends.

INTERNATIONAL INDEXES, MARKET CAPITALIZATION, AND
NATIONAL STOCK MARKET RETURN

The following tables show the total market capitalization of certain
countries according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International
indexes database, the total market capitalization of Latin American
countries according to the International Finance Corporation Emerging
Markets database, and the performance of national stock markets as
measured in U.S. dollars by the Morgan Stanley Capital International
stock market indexes for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999.
Of course, these results are not indicative of future stock market
performance or the fund's performance. Market conditions during the
periods measured fluctuated widely. Brokerage commissions and other
fees are not factored into the values of the indexes.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION. Companies outside the United States now make up
nearly two-thirds of the world's stock market capitalizati on.
According to Morgan Stanley Capital International, the size of the
markets as measured in U.S. dollars grew from $8.0 billion in 1998
to $10.6 billion in 1999.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an
independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on
return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales
charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without
regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on yield. In
addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be
compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance
indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing
these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return
characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock
mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the
highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds
may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer
the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to
other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising. The fund may advertise risk
ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating
agencies.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of all dividends
and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the
fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage
commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in
the securities included in the index.

Strategic Income may compare its performance to that of the Fidelity
Strategic Income Composite Index , which is a hypothetical
representation of the performance of the fund's general investment
categories according to their respective weightings in the fund's
neutral mix. The Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index represents
Strategic Income's four general investment categories according to
their respective weighting in the fund's neutral mix (40% high yield,
30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% foreign developed
markets and 15% emerging markets). The following indexes are used to
calculate the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index: Merrill Lynch
High Yield Master II I ndex for the high yield category, Lehman
Brothers Government Bond Index for the U.S. Government and investment
grade category, Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond
Index for the foreign developed markets category, and J.P. Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index Global for the emerging markets
category. The index weightings of the Fidelity Strategic Income
Composite Index are rebalanced monthly.

MERRILL LYNCH HIGH YIELD MASTER II INDEX. A market
value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds,
including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities.
Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and
have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default.
Issues must have an outstanding par value of at least $50 million to
be included in the index.

LEHMAN BROTHERS GOVERNMENT BOND INDEX. A market value-weighted index
of U.S. Government and government agency securities (other than
mortgage securities) with maturities of one year or more. Issues
include all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury (excluding flower
bonds and foreign-targeted issues) and U.S. Government agencies and
quasi-federal corporations, and corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.

SALOMON BROTHERS NON-U.S. DOLLAR WORLD GOVERNMENT BOND INDEX. A market
value-weighted index that is designed to reflect the performance of 16
world government bond markets, excluding the United States. Issues
included in the index have fixed-rate coupons and maturities of one
year or more.

J.P. MORGAN EMERGING MARKETS BOND INDEX GLOBAL. A market
value-weighted index of U.S. dollar-denominated Brady bonds,
Eurobonds, traded loans, and local market debt instruments issued by
emerging markets' sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. The index
currently covers 26 emerging markets countries. Issues included in the
index must have an outstanding par value of at least $500 million
(U.S. dollars) and at least 2 1/2 years to maturity at the time they
are added to the index.

Strategic Income may compare its performance to that of the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index, a market value-weighted index of all
domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest
bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index
have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower
than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. Issues must have an
outstanding par value of at least $50 million to be included in the
index.

Strategic Income may also compare its performance to that of
the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index, a market value-weighted
index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds with an outstanding
par value of at least $50 million and maturities of at least one year.
Issues included in the index have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3
but are not in default (DDD1 or lower). Split-rated issues (i.e.,
rated investment-grade by one rating agency and high-yield by another)
are included in the index based on the issue's corresponding composite
rating. Structured-note issues, deferred interest bonds, and
pay-in-kind bonds are excluded.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the
same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to
that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made
available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data. In advertising, the fund may also discuss or illustrate examples
of interest rate sensitivity.

MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.

As of December 31, 1999, FMR advised over $35 billion in municipal
fund assets, $143 billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $149
billion in mo ney market fund assets, $630 billion in equity fund
assets, $22 billion in international fund assets, and $41 billion in
Spartan fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of
money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and
participation in the industry. The equity funds under management
figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under
management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States,
making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its
subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.

In addition to performance rankings, the fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. The fund's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in
readily marketable securities or other property, valued for
this purpose as they are valued in computing the fund's NAV , if FMR
determines it is in the best interests of the fund .
Shareholders that receive securities or other property on
redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur
any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS. Because the fund invests significantly in foreign
securities, corporate shareholders should not expect fund dividends to
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. Short-term capital gains
are taxable as dividends, but do not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction.

CAPITAL GA IN DISTRIBU TIONS. The fund's long-term capital gain
distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as
capital gains.

As of December 31, 1999, the fund had a capital loss carryforward
aggregating approximately $335,000. This loss carryforward, of which
$69,000, and $266,000 will expire on December 31, 2006, and 2007,
respectively, and is available to offset future capital gains.

RETURNS OF CAPITAL. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable
income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a
portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be
recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of
capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce
each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher
reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares
on which the distribution was received are sold.

FOREIGN TAX CREDIT OR DEDUCTION. Foreign governments may withhold
taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to
foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other
payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. If, at the close
of its fiscal year, more than 50% of the fund's total assets is
invested in securities of foreign issuers, the fund may elect to pass
through eligible foreign taxes paid and thereby allow shareholders to
take a deduction or, if they meet certain holding period requirements
with respect to fund shares, a credit on their individual tax returns.

TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.

OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal
property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to
determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.

Effective January 1, 2000, Mr. Lautenbach serves as a Member of the
Board of Trustees.

A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be
deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1999, the Trustees
accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows:
Ralph F. Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$75,000; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000; William
O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L. Mann,
$75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $53,735; William O.
McCoy, $53,735; and Thomas R. Williams, $62,319.

B Compensation figures include cash.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (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 fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.

As of December 31, 1999, approximately 25.71% of the fund's total
outstanding shares was held by FMR. FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent
company of FMR. By virtue of their ownership interest in FMR Corp., as
described in the "Control of Investment Advisers" section on page 80,
Mr. Edward C. Johnson 3d, President and Trustee of the fund, and Ms.
Abigail P. Johnson, Member of the Advisory Board of the fund, may be
deemed to be a beneficial owner of these shares. As of the above date,
with the exception of Mr. Johnson 3d's and Ms. Johnson's deemed
ownership of the fund's shares, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory
Board, and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1%
of the fund's total outstanding shares.

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR,
Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), Fidelity
Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management &
Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East), and FMR Co., Inc.
(FMRC) . The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in
1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ)
and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K) Limited
(FIIA(U.K.)L) . Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and
various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or
indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. FIL
provides investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies
and institutional investors investing in securities throughout the
world.

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all
employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
For example, all personal trades in most securities require
pre-clearance, and participation in initial public offerings is
prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the timing of personal
investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term
trading have been adopted.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to
which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and
investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.

MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the
costs associated with securities lending, as ap plicable, the
fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties.
The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy
materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the
custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management
contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the
terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears
the costs of providing these services to existing shareholders. Other
expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and
Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares
under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state
securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the
fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

MANAGEMENT FEE. For the services of FMR under the management contract,
the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a
group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effec tive annual fee
rate at $826 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for
December 1999 - was 0.1267%, which is the weighted avera ge of the
respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $826
billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.45%. Based on the
average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for December
1999, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as
follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate

Strategic Income 0.1267% + 0.45% = 0.5767%

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's
average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the
fee for that month.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fund
paid FMR management fees of $186,180 and $70,570, respec tiv ely.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain
securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses), which is subject to revision or dis continuan ce. FMR
retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in
the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the
fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns and
yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its
returns and yield.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Strategic Income if and to the
extent that the fund's aggregate operating expenses, including
management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of its average net
assets. The table below shows the periods of reimbursement and level
of expense limitation; the dollar amount of management fees incurred
under the fund's contract before reimbursement; and the dollar amount

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement
calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses
in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf
of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for Strategic Income
shares .

P rior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered
all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than
those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the
extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.

The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the fund might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria
established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of
services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale
of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the
fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts,
these fees are based on account size and fund type. For certain
institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type.
For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are
based on account type and fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.

FSC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency
fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified state tuition
program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity
Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds
managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the
QSTP's, Freedom Fund's or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets
that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the
case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC.
Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends
for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting
records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund
are 0.0600% of the first $500 million of average net assets,
0.0440% of average net assets between $500 million and $3
billion, 0.0021% of average net assets between $3 billion and $25
billion, and 0.00075% of average net assets in excess of
$ 25 billion. The fee, not including reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of $60,000 per year.

For the fisc al yea rs ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fund
paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for
related out-of-pocket expenses, of $60,408 and $39, 895 ,
respectively.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC is
paid based on the number and duration of individual securities
loans.

For the fi scal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fund did
not pay FSC for securities lending.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Strategic Income Fund is a fund of
Fidelity School Street Trust, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 10,
1976. Currently, there are four funds in the trust: Fidelity
International Bond Fund, Fidelity New Markets Income Fund, Fidelity
Strategic Income Fund, and Spartan Intermediate Municipal Income Fund.
The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets
of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and
expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust
shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY. The trust is an entity commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders
of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally
liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust contains a n express disclaimer of
shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and
expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides
that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except
for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each
agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall
include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the
trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration
of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a
claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fu nd.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each
fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of
his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his
or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.

VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each
dollar of net asset value that you own. The voting rights of
shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be
voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to, or merg er with, another open-end management investment
company or series thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its
assets. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund with another
entity or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the trust or
a fund to another entity requires approval by a vote of shareholders
of the trust or the fund. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or
terminate the trust or any of its funds without prior shareholder
approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust,
shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the
underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund, shareholders of
that fund are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund
available for distribution.

CUSTODIAN. The Bank of New York, 110 Washington Street, New York, New
York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is
responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment
of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The Chase Manhattan
Bank, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose
custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement
transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and members
of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain
funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.

AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 160 Federal Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, serve s as independent accountant for the fund. The
auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 , and re port of the
auditor, are included in the fund's annual report an d are
incorporated herein by reference.

FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND seeks high total investment return.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment
strategies include:

(small solid bullet) Normally investing at least 65% of total assets
in foreign debt securities.

(small solid bullet) Investing up to 35% of assets in securities of
emerging market issuers, which are often lower-quality debt
securities.

(small solid bullet) Allocating investments across countries and
regions considering the size of the market in each country and region
relative to the size of the international market as a whole.

(small solid bullet) Analyzing a security's structural features and
current pricing, trading opportunities, and the credit, currency, and
economic risks of the security and its issuer to select investments.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from
the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities
(those of less than investment-grade quality) can be more volatile due
to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory,
market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

NEW MARKETS INCOME FUND seeks high current income. As a secondary
objective, the fund seeks capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

(small solid bullet) Normally investing at least 65% of total assets
in debt securities of issuers in emerging markets (countries that have
an emerging stock market as defined by the International Finance
Corporation and countries with low- to middle-income economies
according to the World Bank).

(small solid bullet) Potentially investing in other types of
securities, including equity securities of emerging market issuers,
debt securities of non-emerging market foreign issuers, and
lower-quality debt securities of U.S. issuers.

(small solid bullet) Allocating investments across countries
considering the size of the market in each country relative to the
size of the markets in countries considered emerging markets as a
whole.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from
the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities
(those of less than investment-grade quality) can be more volatile due
to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory,
market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

PERFORMANCE

The following information illustrates the changes in each fund's
performance from year to year and compares each fund's performance to
the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of
similar funds over various periods of time. New Markets Income also
compares its performance to the performance of an additional index
over various periods of time. Data for the additional index for New
Markets Income is available only from December 31, 1993 to the
present. Prior to February 27, 1998, International Bond operated
under certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the fund's
historical performance may not represent its current investment
policies. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication
of future performance.

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND seeks high total investment return.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in
foreign debt securities.

FMR currently intends to limit investments in emerging market issuers
to 35% of the fund's assets. The securities of most emerging market
issuers as well as some developed market issuers are lower-quality
debt securities.

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different
countries and regions. In allocating the fund's investments across
countries and regions FMR will consider the size of the market in each
country and region relative to the size of the international market as
a whole.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes
a security's structural features and current price compared to its
long-term value and any short-term trading opportunities resulting
from market inefficiencies. FMR's analysis also considers the credit,
currency, and economic risks associated with the security and the
country of its issuer.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security
values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not
achieve its objective.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

NEW MARKETS INCOME FUND seeks high current income. As a secondary
objective, the fund seeks capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in debt
securities of issuers in emerging markets. Countries with emerging
markets include those that have an emerging stock market as defined by
the International Finance Corporation and those with low- to
middle-income economies according to the World Bank. FMR expects to
emphasize countries with relatively low gross national product per
capita compared to the world's major economies and countries with the
potential for rapid economic growth.

FMR may also invest in equity securities of emerging market issuers,
debt securities of non-emerging market foreign issuers, and
lower-quality debt securities of U.S. issuers. Although FMR may invest
up to 35% of the fund's total assets in these securities, FMR does not
currently anticipate that these investments will exceed approximately
20% of the fund's total assets.

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different
emerging market countries. In allocating the fund's investments across
countries, FMR will consider the size of the market in each country
relative to the size of the markets in countries considered emerging
markets as a whole.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security
values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not
achieve its objective.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES

DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but
are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include
corporate bonds, government securities, mortgage and other
asset-backed securities, and loans and loan participations.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's yield and share
price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market
conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial
developments. A fund's reaction to these developments will be affected
by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests,
the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic
location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the
securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant
percentage of each fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's
performance could be closely tied to the market value of that one
issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more
diversified funds. When you sell your shares of a fund, they could be
worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and
securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations
can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or
regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include
fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes;
trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the
less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some
foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments,
especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially
less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can
perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and
greater than those generally associated with investing in more
developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization;
and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets.
Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic,
regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make
emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid
than securities issued in more developed markets.

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price
changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value
of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to
company, political, or economic developments and can decline
significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general
or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be
thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to
sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt
securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or
periods of high interest rates.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's
performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to
change only by shareholder approval.

INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND seeks high total investment return by
investing principally in debt securities issued anywhere in the world.

NEW MARKETS INCOME FUND seeks high current income. As a secondary
objective, the fund seeks capital appreciation.

VALUING SHARES

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as
permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's
assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the
fund's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund
is open for business.

Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information
furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. Certain
short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If
market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not
readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for
example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by
another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects
fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method
used for determining value.

BUYING SHARES

The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's
shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your
investment is received in proper form.

Short-term or excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm
performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by
increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase
orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or
investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or
excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to
that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading
history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under
common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only
on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:

(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.

(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity reserves the right to limit the number
of checks processed at one time.

(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will
be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or
Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements
with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed
purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to
follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the following
business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will
be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.

MINIMUMS

A FIDELITY TRADITIONAL IRA, ROTH IRA, ROLLOVER IRA, SEP-IRA, AND KEOGH
ACCOUNTS.

There is no minimum account balance or initial or subsequent purchase
minimum for investments through Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Services
SM, a qualified state tuition program, certain Fidelity retirement
accounts funded through salary deduction, or accounts opened with the
proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts. In addition,
each fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

SELLING SHARES

The price to sell one share of International Bond is the fund's NAV.
The price to sell one share of New Markets Income is the fund's NAV,
minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

New Markets Income will deduct a short-term trading fee of
1.00 % from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after
holding them less than 180 days. This fee is paid to the fund rather
than Fidelity, and is designed to offset the brokerage commissions,
market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund
asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest
will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the
short-term trading fee applies. The short-term trading fee does not
apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of
distributions.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order
is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if
applicable.

(small solid bullet) You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of
shares;

(small solid bullet) Your account registration has changed within the
last 15 o r 30 days, depending on your account;

(small solid bullet) The check is being mailed to a different address
than the one on your account (record address);

(small solid bullet) The check is being made payable to someone other
than the account owner; or

(small solid bullet) The redemption proceeds are being transferred to
a Fidelity account with a different registration.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

(small solid bullet) Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or
other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best
interests of a fund.

(small solid bullet) You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed redemption checks.

(small solid bullet) Unless otherwise instructed, Fidelity will send a
check to the record address.

EXCHANGING SHARES

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares
of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a
fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions
governing exchanges:

(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be
available for sale in your state.

(small solid bullet) You may exchange only between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification
number.

(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its
prospectus.

(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.

(small solid bullet) Each fund may temporarily or permanently
terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than
four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under
common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of
the four exchange limit.

(small solid bullet) Each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any
person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.

The funds may terminate or modify the exchange privileges in the
future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose
trading fees of up to 3.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's
prospectus for details.

ACCOUNT FEATURES AND POLICIES

FEATURES

The following features are available to buy and sell shares of the
funds.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT AND WITHDRAWAL PROGRAMS. Fidelity offers
convenient services that let you automatically transfer money into
your account, between accounts, or out of your account. While
automatic investment programs do not guarantee a profit and will not
protect you against loss in a declining market, they can be an
excellent way to invest for retirement, a home, educational expenses,
and other long-term financial goals. Automatic withdrawal or exchange
programs can be a convenient way to provide a consistent income flow
or to move money between your investments.

POLICIES

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

following:

(small solid bullet) Monthly or quarterly account statements
(detailing account balances and all transactions completed during the
prior month or quarter).

(small solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months).

need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses.

When you sign your ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require a fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.

Fidelity may charge a FEE FOR CERTAIN SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its
investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to
shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from
its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to
shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.
Each fund normally pays capital gain distributions in February and
December.

EARNING DIVIDENDS

Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the
day of purchase.

Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day
following the day of redemption.

DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. The following options may be available for
each fund's distributions:

1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividends and capital gain distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If
you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned
this option.

2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your
dividends will be paid in cash.

3. CASH OPTION. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be
paid in cash.

4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividends
will be automatically invested in shares of another identically
registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically invested in shares of another identically registered
Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, call Fidelity.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax
consequences for you. If you are not investing through a
tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax
consequences.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions you receive from each fund are
subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or
local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, each fund's dividends and distributions of
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income, while
each fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to
you generally as capital gains.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized
in any year, which is sometimes the result of currency-related losses,
all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as a return of
capital to shareholders for tax purposes. A return of capital
generally will not be taxable to you but will reduce the cost basis of
your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a lower
reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the
full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price
back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be
taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution
option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest
distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you
will receive certain December distributions in January, but those
distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may
result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital
gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference
between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you
sell them.

FUND SERVICES

FUND MANAGEMENT

Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal.

FMR is each fund's manager.

As of March 25 , 1999, FMR had approximately $ 521.7
billion in discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing each fund's
investments and handling its business affairs.

Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:

(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR
U.K.), in London, England, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. FMR
U.K. was organized in 1986 to provide investment research and advice
to FMR. Currently, FMR U.K. provides investment research and advice on
issuers based outside the United States and may also provide
investment advisory services for each fund.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc.
(FMR Far East), serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. FMR Far East
was organized in 1986 to provide investment research and advice to
FMR. Currently, FMR Far East provides investment research and advice
on issuers based outside the United States and may also provide
investment advisory services for each fund.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity International Investment Advisors
(FIIA), in Pembroke, Bermuda, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund.
As of September 28, 1999, FIIA had approximately $ 3.6
billion in discretionary assets under management. Currently, FIIA
provides investment research and advice on issuers based outside the
United States and may also provide investment advisory services for
each fund.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.)
Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L), in London, England, serves as a sub-adviser for
each fund. As of September 28, 1999, FIIA(U.K.)L had approximately
$2.6 billi on in discretionary assets under management. Currently,
FIIA(U.K.)L is primarily responsible for choosing certain types of
investments for International Bond. Currently, FIIA(U.K.)L) provides
investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United
States and may also provide investment advisory services for New
Markets Income.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ), in
Tokyo, Japan, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. As of
September 28, 1999, FIJ had approximately $16.3 billion in
discretionary assets under management. Currently, FIJ provides
investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United
States and may also provide investment advisory services for each
fund.

Beginning January 1, 2001, FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) will serve as
sub-adviser for each fund. FMRC will be primarily responsible for
choosing certain types of investments for International Bond. FMRC
will be primarily responsible for choosing investments for New Markets
Income. FMRC is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR.

John Carlson is vice president and lead manager of International Bond,
which he has managed since February 1998, and vice president and
manager of New Markets Income, which he has managed since June 1995.
He also manages the emerging markets investments of International Bond
and manages other Fidelity funds. Prior to joining Fidelity in 1995,
Mr. Carlson was executive director of emerging markets at Lehman
Brothers International from 1992 to 1995.

Ian Spreadbury is vice president of International Bond and manager
of investment-grade developed country investments, which he has
managed since February 1998. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Mr.
Spreadbury joined Fidelity Investments in 1995 as a fund manager and
director of Fixed Income. Prior to joining Fidelity, he was a senior
fund manager for Legal & General Investment Management LTD.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may
express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or
market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of
only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily
represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity
organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any
responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on
as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity
fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an
indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is
calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by
adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by
twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets
throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 1999, the group fee rate was 0.1267%. The individual
fund fee rate is 0.5 5% for each fund.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999,
was 0.68% of the fund's average net assets for International
Bond and 0. 68% of the fund's average net assets for New Markets
Income.

FMR pays FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIIA for providing sub-advisory
services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FMR or FMR Far
East pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR will pay FMRC for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for
management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR
retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the
specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement
arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can
decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.

FUND DISTRIBUTION

FDC distributes each fund's shares.

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that
FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits
or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses
incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in
the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR,
directly or through FDC, may pay intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized
such payments.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives
brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related
statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do
not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the
funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is
unlawful to make such offer.

APPENDIX

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand
each fund's financial history for the past 5 years. Certain
information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would
have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund (assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has
been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP , independent
accountants, whose reports, along with each fund's financial
highlights and financial statements, are included in each fund's
annual report. A free copy of each annual report is available upon

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may
be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF FIDELITY INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:

(1) issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance
program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted
under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed), less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;

(3) underwrite securities issued by others (except to the extent that
the fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities);

(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations
issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its
agencies or instrumentalities, or by foreign governments or their
political subdivisions, or by supranational organizations) if, as a
result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets (taken at current
value) would be invested in the securities of issuers having their
principal business activities in the same industry;

THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL, AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 38.

For purposes of normally investing at least 65% of the fund's total
assets in foreign debt securities, FMR interprets "total assets" to
exclude collateral received for securities lending transactions.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF FIDELITY NEW MARKETS INCOME FUND

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:

(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;

THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL, AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements).

With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 39 .

For purposes of normally investing at least 65% of the fund's total
assets in debt securities of issuers in emerging markets, FMR
interprets "total assets" to exclude collateral received for
securities lending transactions.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management
& Research Company (FMR) may employ in pursuit of a fund's investment
objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of
these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes
that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.

BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.

COUNTRIES NOT CONSIDERED TO HAVE EMERGING MARKETS. As of December 31,
1999, the following countries are not considered to have emerging
markets: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and
the United States.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs
associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes,
brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than
with U.S. investments.

FOREIGN REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Foreign repurchase agreements involve
an agreement to purchase a foreign security and to sell that security
back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price in either U.S.
dollars or foreign currency. Unlike typical U.S. repurchase
agreements, foreign repurchase agreements may not be fully
collateralized at all times. The value of a security purchased by a
fund may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to repurchase the security. In the event of default by the
counterparty, the fund may suffer a loss if the value of the security
purchased is less than the agreed-upon repurchase price, or if the
fund is unable to successfully assert a claim to the collateral under
foreign laws. As a result, foreign repurchase agreements may involve
higher credit risks than repurchase agreements in U.S. markets, as
well as risks associated with currency fluctuations. In addition, as
with other emerging market investments, repurchase agreements with
counterparties located in emerging markets or relating to emerging
markets may involve issuers or counterparties with lower credit
ratings than typical U.S. repurchase agreements.

FUNDS' RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDERS. The funds do not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views
on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors,
and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters
could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment
in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either
individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others,
supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate
structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's
directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or
policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a
portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third-party takeover
efforts. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to
litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities
with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of
litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund
is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that
litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities
incurred.

LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. Each fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The funds intend to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the funds can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.

In addition, each fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase
put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of
the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under
normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options
if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or
exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would
exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a
result, the current value of option premiums for call options
purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets.
These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or
traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to
securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the funds' investments in futures contracts
and options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and
options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory
agencies permit.

OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded
on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the
other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement
allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option
to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than
exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing
organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

ISSUER LOCATION. FMR determines where an issuer is located by
looking at such factors as the issuer's country of organization, the
primary trading market for the issuer's securities, and the location
of the issuer's assets, personnel, sales, and earnings. The issuer of
a security is considered to be located in a particular country if (1)
the security is issued or guaranteed by the government of the country
or any of its agencies, political subdivisions, or instrumentalities;
(2) the security has its primary trading market in that country; or
(3) the issuer is organized under the laws of that country, derives at
least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods sold, investments
made, or services performed in the country, or has at least 50% of its
assets located in the country.

Each fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any
one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see each fund's
investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund
generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held
by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other
lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund
and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the
direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC
interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat
both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as
"issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an
issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in
indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of
intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying
borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's
yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other
investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower
provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the
value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to
obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving
material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults
on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of
insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs
in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the
collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign
securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a
fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in
the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value
of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment
is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be
in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would
justify the risks.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY OR CREDIT SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various
forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of
credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided
by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the
liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to
purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the
credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider
whether adequate public information about the entity is available and
whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic
developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that
might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the
credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect
the value of the security or a fund's share price.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES. Each fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in U.S. securities for temporary, defensive
purposes.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may
sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in
capital gains or losses for the fund.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CANADA

POLITICAL. Canada's parliamentary system of government is, in general,
stable. However, from time to time, some provinces, but particularly
Quebec, have called for a revamping of the legal and financial
relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and the
provinces. To date, referendums on Quebec sovereignty have been
defeated, but the issue remains unresolved. The Supreme Court of
Canada decided in August 1998 that if there was a "clear answer" to a
"clear question" in a referendum, then the federal government would be
obliged to negotiate with Quebec.

ECONOMIC. Canada is a major producer of commodities such as forest
products, metals, agricultural products, and energy related products
like oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. Accordingly, changes in the
supply and demand of industrial and basic materials, both domestically
and internationally, can have a significant effect on Canadian market
performance.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign currency
entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing in the
domestic market. Since Canada let its currency float in 1970, its
value has been in a steady decline against the U.S. dollar. While the
decline has helped Canada stay competitive in export markets, U.S.
investors have seen their investment returns eroded by the impact of
currency conversion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING EUROPE

POLITICAL. For those countries in Western and Eastern Europe that were
not included in the first round of the EU implementation, the
prospects for eventual membership serve as a strong political impetus
for many governments to employ tight fiscal and monetary policies.
Particularly for the Eastern European countries, aspirations to join
the EU are likely to push governments to act decisively.

In the transition to the single economic system, significant political
decisions will be made which will effect the market regulation,
subsidization, and privatization across all industries, from
agricultural products to telecommunications.

ECONOMIC. As economic conditions across member states vary from robust
to dismal, there is continued concern about national-level support for
the currency and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage
policy among the eleven EMU member nations. According to the Maastrich
treaty, member countries must maintain inflation below 3.3%, public
debt below 60% of GDP, and a deficit of 3% or less of GDP to qualify
for participation in the euro. These requirements severely limit
member countries' ability to implement monetary policy to address
regional economic conditions. Countries that did not qualify for the
euro, such as Greece, risk being left farther behind.

FOREIGN TRADE. The EU has recently been involved in a number of trade
disputes with major trading partners, including the United States.
Tariffs and embargoes have been levied upon imports of agricultural
products and meat that have resulted in the affected nation levying
retaliatory tariffs upon imports from Europe. These disputes can
adversely affect the valuations of the European companies that export
the targeted products.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign currency
entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing in the
domestic market. However, investing in euro-denominated securities
entails risk of being exposed to a new currency that may not fully
reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate economies that
make up the Union. This has been the case in the first six months of
1999, when the initial exchange rates of the euro versus many of the
world's major currencies steadily declined. In this environment, U.S.
and other foreign investors experienced erosion of their investment
returns in the region. In addition, many European countries rely
heavily upon export dependent businesses and any strength in the
exchange rate between the euro and the dollar can have either a
positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

GERMANY. The German economy is heavily industrialized, with a strong
emphasis on manufacturing and exports. Therefore, Germany's economic
growth is heavily dependent on the prosperity of its trading partners
and on currency exchange rates. Germany is closely tied to a number of
Eastern European emerging market economies and weakness in these
economies will likely dampen demand for German exports. Germany
continues to struggle with its incorporation of former East Germany
and the country as a whole faces high labor costs and high
unemployment.

FRANCE. In recent years, the country's economic growth has been hit by
a series of general strikes. France's strong labor unions reacted
negatively to government cuts driven by the country's effort to meet
EMU membership criteria. Recently, unions have demanded a lower
retirement age and a shorter work week. Economic growth also is
limited by the country's pay-as-you-go pension system; spending on
pensions accounts for about 10% of GDP.

NORDIC COUNTRIES. Faced with stronger global competition, the Nordic
countries - Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden - have had to scale
down their historically generous welfare programs, resulting in drops
in domestic demand and increased unemployment. Major industries in the
region, such as forestry, agriculture, and oil, are heavily resource
dependent and face pressure as a result of high labor costs. Pension
reform, union regulation, and further cuts in liberal social programs
will likely need to be addressed as the Nordic countries face
increased international competition.

UNITED KINGDOM. The United Kingdom continues to be overtly less
enthusiastic about EMU than other countries in Europe and has not
committed itself to joining the euro. While the UK views independence
from the EMU as a competitive advantage, the country may not benefit
from its independence if economic conditions on the continent improve.
If the continental European stock markets make more compelling
prospects for economic growth, there is concern that the UK market may
lag its European counterparts.

EASTERN EUROPE. Investing in the securities of Eastern European
issuers is highly speculative and involves risks not usually
associated with investing in the more developed markets of Western
Europe.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JAPAN

ECONOMIC. Since Japan's bubble economy collapsed eight years ago, the
nation has drifted between modest growth and recession. By mid-year
1998, the world's second largest economy had slipped into its deepest
recession since World War II. Much of the blame can be placed on
government inaction in implementing long-neglected structural reforms
despite strong and persistent prodding from the International Monetary
Fund and the G7 member nations. Steps have been taken to deregulate
and liberalize protected areas of the economy, but the pace of change
has been disappointedly slow.

The most pressing need for action is the daunting task of overhauling
the nation's financial institutions and securing public support for
taxpayer-funded bailouts. Banks, in particular, must dispose of their
huge overhang of bad loans and trim their balance sheets in
preparation for greater competition from foreign institutions as more
areas of the financial sector are opened. Successful financial sector
reform would allow Japan's financial institutions to act as a catalyst
for economic recovery at home and across the troubled Asian region.

FOREIGN TRADE. Much of Japan's economy is dependent upon international
trade. The country is a leading exporter of automobiles and industrial
machinery as well as industrial and consumer electronics. While the
United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, close to half
of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of
which are in Southeast Asia. For the past two years, Southeast Asia's
economies have been mired in economic stagnation causing a steep
decline in Japan's exports to the area. Much of Japan's hopes for
economic recovery and renewed export growth is largely dependent upon
the pace of economic recovery in Southeast Asia.

NATURAL RESOURCE DEPENDENCY. An island nation with limited natural
resources, Japan is also heavily dependent upon imports of essential
products such as oil, forest products, and industrial metals.
Accordingly, Japan's industrial sector and domestic economy are highly
sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity prices. In
addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S. dollars and any
strength in the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar can have
either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The Japanese islands have been subjected to
periodic natural disasters including earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal
waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic
disruption upon the nation's populace and industries.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASIA PACIFIC REGION (EX JAPAN)

ECONOMIC. The economic health of the region depends, in great part, on
each country's respective ability to carry out fiscal and monetary
reforms and its ability to address the International Monetary Fund's
mandated benchmarks. The majority of the countries in the region can
be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized
economies, which tend to experience more volatile economic cycles than
developed countries. In addition, a number of countries in the region
have historically faced hyperinflation, a deterrent to productivity
and economic growth.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any currency entails an
additional risk that is not faced when investing in the domestic
market. Some countries in the region may impose restrictions on
converting local currency, effectively preventing foreigners from
selling assets and repatriating funds. While flexible exchange rates
through most of the region should allow greater control of domestic
liquidity conditions, the region's currencies generally face
above-average volatility with potentially negative implications for
economic and security market conditions.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The Asia Pacific region has been subjected to
periodic natural disasters such as earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal
waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic
disruption upon the populace and industry of the countries in that
region.

CHINA AND HONG KONG. As with all transition economies, China's ability
to develop and sustain a credible legal, regulatory, monetary, and
socioeconomic system could influence the course of outside investment.
Hong Kong is closely tied to China, economically and through China's
1997 acquisition of the country as a Special Autonomous Region (SAR).
Hong Kong's success depends, in large part, on its ability to retain
the legal, financial and monetary systems that allow economic freedom
and market expansion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING LATIN AMERICA

As an emerging market, Latin America has long suffered from political,
economic, and social instability. For investors, this has meant
additional risk caused by periods of regional conflict, political
corruption, totalitarianism, protectionist measures, nationalization,
hyperinflation, debt crises, and currency devaluation. However, much
has changed in the past decade. Democracy is beginning to become well
established in some countries. A move to a more mature and accountable
political environment is well under way. Domestic economies have been
deregulated and have enjoyed sound levels of growth. Privatization of
state-owned companies is almost completed. Foreign trade restrictions
have been relaxed. Large fiscal deficits have been reduced and
inflation controlled. Nonetheless, the volatile stock markets of 1998
have clearly demonstrated that investors in the region continue to
face a number of potential risks.

POLITICAL. While investors recently have benefited from friendlier
forms of government, the Latin American political climate is still
vulnerable to sudden changes. Many countries in the region have been
in recession and have faced high unemployment. Corruption remains part
of the political landscape. This could lead to social unrest and
changes in governments that are less favorable to investors. The
investor friendly trends of social, economic, and market reforms seen
over the past several years could be reversed. Also, as has
historically been the case, the stock markets may be subject to
increased volatility as some countries approach elections: Argentina,
Chile, Mexico, and Peru.

SOCIAL UNREST. Latin America continues to suffer from one of the most
inequitable distributions of wealth in the world, as well as rampant
delinquency and street crime. The recent reforms and the move to
democracy, which were initially welcomed by the population, so far
have failed to significantly improve the living conditions of the
majority of people. This could lead to social unrest, occasional labor
strikes, rebellion, or civil war.

ECONOMIC. Many countries in the region have experienced periods of
hyperinflation which adversely impacted and may continue to impact
their economies and local stock markets. Despite signs that inflation
has been tamed, the risk of hyperinflation persists.

FOREIGN TRADE. One key to the recent economic growth in the region has
been the reduction of trade barriers and a series of free-trade
agreements. These are currently under pressure given the recent
macro-economic imbalances between many trading partners. One example
would be Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and
Paraguay. As long as the economies perform well and the regimes
maintain similar economic and currency policies, all will benefit from
this agreement. However, the recent devaluation of Brazil's currency,
combined with recessions in the region, has created tension between
the largest trading partners, Brazil and Argentina. This could
threaten the pace of vital trade integration and regional economic
stability.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign market entails
the risk of currency fluctuations; any weakness in the local currency
could erode the investment returns to U.S. investors upon currency
conversion. As is typical of emerging markets, Latin America has a
long history of currency devaluation, evidenced by the Mexican peso
crisis and the more recent Brazilian devaluation. The region remains
exposed to currency speculators, particularly if the economic or
political conditions worsen. Countries where the currency is
artificially pegged to the dollar are most at risk. For example,
predatory speculation may shift to Argentina if the cost of
maintaining the currency board reaches an unsustainable level given
the negative impact of the Brazilian devaluation, the economic
recession, the deterioration of the foreign trade balances, and the
mounting fiscal deficit.

SOVEREIGN DEBT. Although austerity programs in many countries have
significantly reduced fiscal deficits, the region is still facing
significant debt. Interest on the debt is subject to market conditions
and may reach levels that would impair economic activity and create a
difficult and costly environment for borrowers. In addition,
governments may be forced to reschedule or freeze their debt
repayment, which could negatively impact the stock market.

NATURAL RESOURCES DEPENDENCY. Commodities such as agricultural
products, minerals, and metals account for a significant percentage of
exports of many Latin American countries. As a result, these economies
have been particularly sensitive to the fluctuation of commodity
prices. As an example, Chile has been affected by the change in the
prices of copper and pulp, which has adversely affected its economy
and stock market. Similarly, because the U.S. is Mexico's largest
trading partner - accounting for more than four-fifths of its exports
- - any economic downturn in the U.S. economy could adversely impact the
Mexican economy and stock market.

FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS. As is typical of many emerging markets,
many companies in the region are still controlled by families and
their associates. Accordingly, these owners may not always act in the
best interests of public shareholders. In addition, rules for
disclosing financial information are less stringent, which increases
the difficulty of accessing reliable and viable information.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING RUSSIA

Compared to most national stock markets, the Russian securities market
suffers from a variety of problems not encountered in more developed
markets. Among these are thin trading activity, inadequate regulatory
protection for the rights of investors, and lax custody procedures.
Additionally, there is a dearth of solid corporate information
available to investors.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent upon the export of a range of
commodities including most industrial metals, forestry products, oil,
and gas. Accordingly, it is strongly affected by international
commodity prices and is particularly vulnerable to any weakening in
global demand for these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING AFRICA

Africa is a highly diverse and politically unstable continent of over
50 countries and 840 million people. Civil wars, coups, and even
genocidal warfare have beset much of this region in recent years.
Nevertheless, the continent is home to an abundance of natural
resources, including natural gas, aluminum, crude oil, copper, iron,
bauxite, cotton, diamonds, and timber. Wealthier African countries
generally have strong connections to European partners; evidence of
these relationships is seen in the growing market capitalization and
foreign investment. Economic performance remains closely tied to world
commodity markets, particularly oil, as well as agricultural
conditions, such as drought.

Several Northern African countries have substantial oil reserves and,
accordingly, their economies react strongly to world oil prices. They
share a regional and sometimes religious identification with the oil
producing nations of the Middle East and can be strongly affected by
political and economic developments in those countries. As in the
south, weather conditions have a strong impact on many of their
natural resources, as was the case in 1995, when severe drought
adversely affected economic growth.

Several African countries have active equity markets, many established
since 1989. The oldest market, in Egypt, was established in 1883,
while the youngest, in Zambia, was established in 1994. The mean age
for all equity markets is 40 years old. A total of 1,830 firms are
listed on the respective exchanges. With the exception of the
relatively large and liquid South African stock market, sub-Saharan
Africa is probably the riskiest of all the world's emerging markets.

SOUTH AFRICA. South Africa has a highly developed and industrialized
economy. It is rich in mineral resources and is the world's largest
producer and exporter of gold. The nation's new government has made
remarkable progress in consolidating the nation's peaceful transition
to democracy and in redressing the socioeconomic disparities created
by apartheid. It has a sophisticated financial structure with a large
and active stock exchange that ranks 19th in the world in terms of
market capitalization. Nevertheless, investors in South Africa face a
number of risks common to other developing regions. The nation's heavy
dependence upon the export of natural resources makes its economy and
stock market vulnerable to weak global demand and declines in
commodity prices. The country's currency reserves have been a constant
problem and its currency can be vulnerable to devaluation. There is
also the risk that ethnic and civic conflict could result in the
abandonment of many of the nation's free market reforms to the
detriment of shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness
of any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of
fund expenses.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice concerning the
value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or
selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of investment accounts; and effect securities transactions
and perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).

Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, a
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause a fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR
must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided
by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a particular
transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund or its
other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not attempt to
place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research services
provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should be
related to those services.

The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the portfolio
turnover rates were 189% and 246% , respectively, for
International Bond and 273% and 488% , respectively, for
New Markets Income. Variations in turnover rate may be due to a
fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders,
market conditions, or changes in FMR's investment outlook.

The following tables show the brokerage commissions paid by New
Markets Income. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by a
fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels
throughout the year. A fund may pay both commissions and spreads in
connection with the placement of portfolio transactions. For the
fiscal years ended December 1999, 1998 and 1997, International Bond
paid no brokerage commissions.

The following table shows the total amount of brokerage commissions
paid by New Markets Income.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31 Total Amount Paid

New Markets Income 1999 $ 52,147

1998 35,640

The following table shows the dollar amount of brokerage
commissions paid to firms that provided research services and the
approximate dollar amount of the transactions involved for the fiscal
year ended 1999.

</TABLE>

* The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor
in the placement of all this business with such firms.

For the fiscal year ended December 31 , 1999, International
Bond paid no brokerage commissions to firms that provided research
services.

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the funds could purchase in the underwriting.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
each fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those
of other funds or investment accounts managed by FMR or its
affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the
portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its
liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares
outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the
primary market or exchange on which they trade. Fixed-income
securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily
available may be valued at market values determined by such
securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be
valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that
uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the funds may use various pricing
services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment
companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign
securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company,
Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the
NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then
translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies
into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due
to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the
calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect
the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an
exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that
security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value
of the securities owned by a fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more
accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example,
securities and other assets for which there is no readily available
market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the
value of a security, the committee may review price movements in
futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask
quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

A fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. Each fund's share price,
yield and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other
factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.

YIELD CALCULATIONS. Yields for a fund are computed by dividing a
fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month
period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to
receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the
fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result
(assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual
percentage rate. Yields do not reflect New Markets Income's short-term
trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds. Dividends from equity investments are treated as if they were
accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield
calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to
bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a
portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased
with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. For a fund's investments denominated in
foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their
respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either
when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one
month period, whichever is earlier. Income is adjusted to reflect
gains and losses from principal repayments received by a fund with
respect to mortgage-related securities and other asset-backed
securities. Other capital gains and losses generally are excluded from
the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate
fluctuations.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating a fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, a fund's yield
may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account,
or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

In calculating a fund's yield, a fund may from time to time use a
portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in
order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will
have the effect of reducing a fund's yield.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing a fund's performance and
in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, a fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
a fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market
rates, and in periods of rising interest rates a fund's yield will
tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the
inflow of net new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its
shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields
than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing a fund's
current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can
be expected to occur.

RETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects
of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and
capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's NAV over a
stated period. A cumulative return reflects actual performance over a
stated period of time. Average annual returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in a fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative return of
100% over ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%,
which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth
on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a
convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors
should realize that a fund's performance is not constant over time,
but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns
represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of a fund.

In addition to average annual returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns
may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital
gains a nd changes in share price) to ill ustrate the
relationship of these factors and their contributions to return.
Returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis . After-tax
returns reflect the return of a hypothetical account after payment of
federal and/or state taxes using assumed tax rates. After-tax returns
may assume that taxes are paid at the time of distribution or once a
year or are paid in cash or by selling shares, that shares are held
through the entire period, sold on the last day of the period, or sold
at a future date, and distributions are reinvested or paid in cash.
R eturns may or may not include the effect of a fund 's
short-term trading fee or the effect of a fund's small ac count
fee. Excluding a fund's short-term trading fee or small acc ount
fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure.
Returns, yields and other performance information may be quoted
numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using a fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs,
and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted
NAV includes any distributions paid by a fund and reflects all
elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, a fund's adjusted
NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows each fund's yield
and returns for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1999.
For New Markets Income, returns do not include the effect of the
fund's 1.00 % short-term trading fee, applicable to shares held
less than 180 days.

The following tables show the income and capital elements of each
fund's cumulative return. The tables compares each fund's return to
the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index (S&P 500(registered
trademark)), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of
living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same
period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how each
fund's return compared to the record of a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and a narrower set of
stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same
period. Because each fund invests in fixed-income securities, common
stocks represent a different type of investment from the funds. Common
stocks generally offer greater growth potential than the funds, but
generally experience greater price volatility, which means greater
potential for loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower
income than fixed-income investments such as the funds. The S&P 500
and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks
and, unlike each fund's returns, do not include the effect of
brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical
$10,000 investment in each fund during the 10-year period ended
December 31, 1999 or life of fund, as applicable, assuming all
distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results and
are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of
different investments (with the exception of foreign tax withholdings)
have not been factored into the figures below.

During the 10-year period ended December 31, 1999, a hypothetical

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in
International Bond on January 1, 1990 , the net amount invested
in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment
($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and
capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at
the time they were reinvested) amounted to $ 19,443 . If
distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions
earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash
payments for the period would have amounted to $ 6,501 for
dividends and $ 244 for capital gain distributions. Prior to
February 27, 1998, International Bond operated under certain different
investment policies. Accordingly, the fund's historical performance
may not represent its current investment policies.

During the period from May 4, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 1999, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in New Markets
Income would have grown to $ 22,054 .

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in New
Markets Income on May 4, 1993, the net amount invested in fund shares
was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together
with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain
distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time
they were reinvested) amounted to $ 21,009 . If distributions had
not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund
over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period
would have amounted to $ 6,506 for dividends and $ 1,240
for capital gain distributions. The figures in the table do not
include the effect of New Markets Income's 1.00% short-term
trading fee applicable to shares held less than 180 days.

INTERNATIONAL INDEXES, MARKET CAPITALIZATION, AND
NATIONAL STOCK MARKET RETURN

The following tables show the total market capitalization of certain
countries according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International
indexes database, the total market capitalization of Latin American
countries according to the International Finance Corporation Emerging
Markets database, and the performance of national stock markets as
measured in U.S. dollars by the Morgan Stanley Capital International
stock market indexes for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999. Of

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an
independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on
return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales
charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without
regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on yield. In
addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be
compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance
indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing
these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and return
characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while stock
mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry the
highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market funds
may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not offer
the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, a fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising. A fund may advertise risk ratings,
including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating agencies.

A fund's performance may also be compared to that of each
benchmark index representing the universe of securities in which the
fund may invest. The return of each index reflects reinvestment of all
dividends and capital gains paid by securities included in each index.
Unlike a fund's returns, however, each index's returns do not reflect
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing
directly in the securities included in the index.

International Bond may compare its performance to that of the Salomon
Brothers Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index, a market
value-weighted index that is designed to reflect the performance of 16
world government bond markets, excluding the United States. Issues
included in the index have fixed-rate coupons and maturities of one
year or more.

New Markets Income may compare its performance to that of the J.P.
Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of
U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign restructured debt issues. Issues
included in the index must have an outstanding par value of at least
$500 million (U.S. dollars).

New Markets Income may also compare its performance to that of the
J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, a market
value-weighted index of U.S. dollar- denominated Brady Bonds,
Eurobonds, traded loans, and local market debt instruments issued by
emerging markets' sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. The index
currently covers 26 emerging markets countries. Issues included in the
index must have an outstanding par value of at least $500 million
(U.S. dollars) and at least 2 1/2 years to maturity at the time they
are added to the index.

A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions.
Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For
example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential
returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee your principal or your
return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

VOLATILITY. A fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare a fund's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data. In advertising, a fund may also discuss or illustrate examples
of interest rate sensitivity.

MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate a fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents a
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

A fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.

As of December 31, 1999, FMR advised over $ 35 billion in
municipal fund assets, $ 143 billion in taxable fixed-income
fund assets, $ 149 billion in money market fund assets,
$ 630 billion in equity fund assets, $ 22 billion in
international fund assets, and $ 41 billion in
Spartan(registered trademark) fund assets. The funds may reference the
growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's
innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under
management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets
under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United
States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR,
its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.

In addition to performance rankings, a fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

A fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily
marketable securities or other property, valued for this purpose as
they are valued in computing each fund's NAV, if FMR determines it is
in the best interests of the fund. Shareholders that receive
securities or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss
for tax purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the
associated inconveniences.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS. Because each fund invests significantly in foreign
securities, corporate shareholders should not expect fund dividends to
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. Short-term capital gains
are taxable as dividends, but do not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction.

CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund's long-term capital gain
distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as
capital gains.

As of December 31, 1999, International Bond had a capital loss
carryforward aggregating approximately $ 95,170,000 . This loss
carryforward, of which $ 81,207,000 , $ 12,794,000 , and
$ 1,169,000 will expire on December 31, 200 2 ,
2003 , and 2007 , respectively, is available to offset
future capital gains.

As of December 31, 1999, New Markets Income had a capital loss
carryforward aggregating approximately $ 62,284,000 . This loss
carryforward, of which $ 50,343,000 , and $ 11,941,000 will
expire on December 31, 200 6 , and 2007 , respectively, is
available to offset future capital gains.

RETURNS OF CAPITAL. If a fund's distributions exceed its taxable
income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a
portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be
recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of
capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce
each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher
reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares
on which the distribution was received are sold.

FOREIGN TAX CREDIT OR DEDUCTION. Foreign governments may withhold
taxes on dividends and interest earned by a fund with respect to
foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other
payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. If, at the close
of its fiscal year, more than 50% of a fund's total assets is invested
in securities of foreign issuers, the fund may elect to pass through
eligible foreign taxes paid and thereby allow shareholders to take a
deduction or, if they meet certain holding period requirements with
respect to fund shares, a credit on their individual tax returns.

TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.

OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal
property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to
determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of
the trust are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund
and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR,
Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity
Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East), and FMR Co.,
Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in
1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ)
and Fidelity International Investment Advisor s (U.K.) L imited
(FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and
various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or
indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. FIL
provides investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies
and institutional investors investing in securities throughout the
world.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to
which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of each
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and
investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the
registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.

MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the
costs associated with securities lending, each fund pays all of its
expenses that are not assumed by those parties. Each fund pays for the
typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to
shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor,
and non-interested Trustees. Each fund's management contract further
provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and
reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each fund's
transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid
by each fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the
fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment
Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under
federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state
securities laws. Each fund is also liable for such non-recurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the
fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

MANAGEMENT FEES. For the services of FMR under the management
contract, each fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two
components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $ 826 billion of group net assets - the approximate
level for December 1999 - was 0.1267 %, which is the weighted
average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets
up to $ 826 billion.

Each fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.55%. Based on the average
group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for December 1999, each
fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate

International Bond 0.1267% + 0.55% = 0.6767%

New Markets Income 0.1267% + 0.55% = 0.6767%

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to each fund's
average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the
fee for that month.

The following table shows the amount of management fees paid by each
fund to FMR for the past three fiscal years.

Fund Fiscal Years Ended December 31 Management Fees Paid to FMR

International Bond 1999 $ 465,679

1998 $ 509,978

1997 $ 638,301

New Markets Income 1999 $ 1,362,735

1998 $ 1,913,267

1997 $ 2,662,459

</TABLE>

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
a fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes,
certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and
extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or
discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense
reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior
to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a fund's returns and
yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a fund will lower its
returns and yield.

SUB-ADVISERS. On behalf of International Bond and New Markets Income,
FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K., FMR Far
East, FIJ, and FIIA. FIIA, in turn, has entered into a sub-advisory
agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements,
FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and
advice on issuers outside the United States and FMR may grant the
sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority
to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to
the funds.

On behalf of each fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory
agreement with FIJ pursuant to which FMR Far East may receive from FIJ
investment research and advice relating to Japanese issuers (and such
other Asian issuers as FMR Far East may designate).

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research
services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

(small solid bullet) FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L a fee equal to 110% of
FIIA(U.K.)L's costs incurred in connection with providing investment
advice and research services.

(small solid bullet) FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of
FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice

FIIA(U.K.)L's costs incurred in connection with providing
discretionary investment management services.

For investment advice and research services, no fees were paid to FMR
U.K., FMR Far East, FIIA , FIIA(U.K.)L, or FIJ on behalf of the
funds for the past three fiscal years.

Curr ently, FIIA(U.K.)L is primarily respo nsible for choosing
certain types of investments for International Bond.

For discretionary investment management and execution of portfolio
transactions, no fees were paid to FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ, FIIA,
or FIIA(U.K.)L on behalf of New Markets Income for the past three

* Prior to August 1, 1999, FMR paid FIIA and FIJ a fee equal to 50% of
its monthly management fee with respect to the fund's average net
assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.

On January 1, 2001, FMR will enter into a sub-advisory agreement
with FMRC on behalf of each fund pursuant to which FMRC will have
primary responsibility for choosing certain types of investments for
International Bond and primary responsibility for choosing investments
for New Markets Income.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for New Markets Income,
FMR will pay FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to
FMR under its management contract with the fund. Under the terms of
the sub-advisory agreement for International Bond, FMR will pay FMRC
fees equal to 50% of the management payable to FMR with respect to
that portion of th e fund's assets that will be managed by FMRC.
The fees paid to FMRC will not be reduced by any voluntary or
mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to
time.

Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements
call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses
in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for International Bond and
New Markets Income shares.

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other
than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To
the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.

The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the funds might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria
established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of
services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of
significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

Each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC ,
an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreements, FSC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for
each fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in a fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts,
these fees are based on account size and fund type. For certain
institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type.
For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are
based on account type and fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.

FSC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency
fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified state tuition
program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom
Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an
FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QSTP's, Freedom
Fund's or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in
a fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity
Four-in-One Index Fund.

Each fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC.
Under the terms of the agreements, FSC calculates the NAV and
dividends for each fund, maintains each fund's portfolio and general
accounting records, and administers each fund's securities lending
program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on each fund's average daily net assets throughout the
month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the funds
are 0.0 600 % of the first $500 million of average net assets,
0.0 440 % of average net assets between $500 million and $3
billion, 0.0021% of average net assets between $3 billion and $25
billion, and 0.00075% of average net assets in excess of
$25 billion. The fee, not including reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of $60,000 per year.

Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, paid by the funds to FSC for the past three
fiscal years are shown in the table below.

Fund 1999 1998 1997

International Bond $ 60,442 $ 60,495 $ 70,104

New Markets Income $ 110,979 $ 210,316 $ 291,248

For administering each fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid
based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
funds did not pay FSC for securities lending.

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

SPARTAN INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks as high a level of
current income, exempt from federal income tax, as is consistent with
the preservation of capital.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in investment-grade municipal
debt securities (those of medium and high quality).

FMR normally invests so that at least 80% of the fund's assets are
invested in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from
federal income tax. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest
the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to
federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in
municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax.

FMR may invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in municipal
securities that finance similar projects, such as those relating to
education, health care, transportation, and utilities.

FMR uses the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index as a guide
in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the
fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. In
addition, the fund normally maintains a dollar-weighted average
maturity between three and ten years. As of December 31, 1999, the
dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund and the index was
approximately 8.2 and 7.9 years, respectively.

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for
example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a
specific project) and different maturities based on its view of the
relative value of each sector or maturity.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a
security's structural features and current price compared to its
estimated long-term value, any short-term trading opportunities
resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit quality of its
issuer.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security
values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not
achieve its objective.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES

DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but
are sold at a discount from their face values. Municipal debt
securities include general obligation bonds of municipalities, local
or state governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, or
pre-refunded or escrowed bonds.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
and private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility.
Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local
government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or
anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by
domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters
of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's yield and share
price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market
conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial
developments. A fund's reaction to these developments will be affected
by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests,
the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic
location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the
securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of a fund, they
could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

MUNICIPAL MARKET VOLATILITY. Municipal securities can be significantly
affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the
municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the
rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal
securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities,
conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market.
In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual
municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market.

INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt securities have varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a
debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when
interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more
sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the
maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest
rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and
long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or
the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in
short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to
changes in long-term interest rates.

ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general
economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or
value of an issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those
of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to
these changes than higher-quality debt securities. Municipal
securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific
project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the
discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the
inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If
the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal
security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest
from the security could become taxable and the security could decline
significantly in value.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's
performance, and a fund could distribute income subject to federal
income tax.

VALUING SHARES

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.

Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information
furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. If market
quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not
readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market
on which the security is principally traded, that security may be
valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ
depending on the method used for determining value.
