President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

A sixth-straight year of double-digit positive returns for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P 500® could be in jeopardy unless the U.S. stock market shows marked improvement in the final two months of 2000. Through October, all three indexes had negative year-to-date returns. On the other hand, most fixed-income sectors were solidly in the black. Treasuries and other long-term government securities led the way, returning nearly 14%.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Semiannual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. Prior to December 30, 1990, Fidelity Capital & Income Fund operated under a different investment objective. Accordingly, the fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the 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. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the high current yield funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six month average represents a peer group of 382 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

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

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Capital & Income Fund on October 31, 1990. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $34,458 - a 244.58% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $29,932 - a 199.32% increase.

Understanding
Performance

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

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $8.47 over the past one month, $8.83 over the past six months and $9.08 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula based on the yields of the securities in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

While the six-month period ending October 31, 2000, was one that most high-yield investors would just as soon forget, positive signs about the market's prospects emerged toward the end of the period. During the past six months, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield market performance - fell 1.93%. This return lagged the overall U.S. taxable bond market as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which gained 5.80% during the same time frame. A number of adverse conditions held back high-yield performance, including a struggling telecommunications sector - which makes up a large portion of the high-yield debt market - and an increasing default rate that led to decreasing demand. In a flight to safety, many high-yield investors turned to the relative security of the Treasury market, this year's best-performing fixed-income sector through the end of October. One potential catalyst for improved performance in the high-yield market could be a continued increase in merger and acquisition activity. From July to August, $90 billion in M&A activity took place where the target company was in the high-yield universe. Not only do these deals reduce the supply of high-yield credits, they also establish benchmark valuations for some sectors of the market.

An interview with David Glancy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Capital & Income Fund

Q. David, how did the fund perform?

A. For the six months that ended October 31, 2000, the fund had a total return of -4.60%. The high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, fell 1.93%, while the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned -3.83%. During the 12 months that ended October 31, 2000, the fund returned -1.70%, while the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned -1.68% and the Lipper high current yield funds average returned -2.77%.

Q. What market factors caused the fund to lag its benchmark and peers during the past six months?

A. It was a tough six-month period for the high-yield market, marked by high interest rates, difficulties encountered by individual companies and very little liquidity in the financial markets. High interest rates sparked by the Federal Reserve Board's desire to head off inflation increased borrowing costs for high-yield companies and slowed economic growth. These developments accelerated the overall default risk in the market. The "tech wreck" that knocked the wind out of the NASDAQ index also hurt the high-yield market, where one finds a significant number of telecommunications companies. These firms' access to capital was constricted at a time when they needed funding to continue building out their networks. The fund's telecom position was the primary reason for its relative underperformance. In addition, the fund was hurt by its large position in the stock of EchoStar, the direct-broadcast satellite company.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What moves did you make with the fund in response to this difficult situation?

A. I sought to insulate the fund from further difficulties by investing in shorter-maturity, higher-quality bonds. In addition, for the first time in quite a while I turned some attention to distressed securities, those that are characterized by uncertain or troubling financial situations. Previously, opportunities were few and far between because the area was characterized by poorly run companies with bad balance sheets and poor prospects. However, with all of the difficulties encountered by the high-yield market, some companies started trading at distressed prices despite favorable prospects and solid management. Because I maintained a fairly significant stake in cash equivalents through this bear market - at the end of the period, for example, more than 12% of the fund's net assets were invested in cash equivalents - I was able to buy some of these securities at very attractive prices. The large cash holdings also enabled me to make other well-timed purchases and insulated the fund somewhat from even further downdrafts. I also maintained a small but important portion of the fund in leveraged equities - common stocks of companies that have high-yield bonds outstanding.

Q. Were there any investments or areas that provided positive performance during the period?

A. There weren't very many areas that performed well during this time frame. Nevertheless, the fund did benefit from the positive performance of some of its holdings in the health care, energy and cable TV industries. Higher energy prices were the force behind the improvement in some energy securities, and the recurring revenues earned by cable TV operators through their monthly fees were an attractive attribute during a period of market instability.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The high-yield market could be choppy for at least the next couple of months, though it appears that most of the damage to the market has been done. A significant number of bonds are trading at very attractive prices, so I anticipate using the fund's cash position to continue adding bonds of companies with favorable prospects selling at cheap prices. If history is a guide, the high-yield market will ultimately attract buyers from across a broad spectrum and enjoy a recovery like we saw in 1990, after its last protracted period of difficulty.

David Glancy on
the high-yield market:

"The volatility in the high-yield market doesn't necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals of the companies in the fund, even though it may temporarily affect the fund's net asset value (NAV). Buyers of high-yield bonds have become so scarce that many attractive securities are trading from 20 to 70 cents on the dollar and therefore offer some upside potential. In contrast, when these bonds are trading at face value, there's no place for them to go but down. With Fidelity's resources and credit skills, we should be able to locate significant opportunities in this market for capital appreciation and earn a very attractive coupon, or interest rate. When things get as bad as they have been within the high-yield market, many investors follow a lemming mentality and seek to get out of it on its way down. My approach is to take advantage of desperate sellers and continue buying until the market eventually reaches the bottom in order to position the fund for a strong rebound when the market turns. In that way, like in 1990, I hope to reap the benefits when the market recovers and the winners start outnumbering the losers."

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2000

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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

Security Valuation. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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

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

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

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if

any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. The fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

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

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 270 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. Redemptions on or prior to September 27, 2000 of shares held less than 365 days were subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

2. Operating Policies.

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

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

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

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.

Restricted Securities. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $12,165,000 or 0.4% of net assets.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund is permitted to invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. At the end of the period, these investments amounted to $24,897,000 or 0.8% of net assets.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $917,115,000 and $991,466,000, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .0920% to .3700% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net assets.

Sub-Adviser Fee. Beginning January 1, 2001, FMR Co.(FMRC) will serve as sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR and will receive a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR with respect to that portion of the fund's assets that will be managed by FMRC.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .16% of average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $13,000 for the period.

5. Interfund Lending Program.

The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a lender. The average daily loan balance during the period for which the loan was outstanding amounted to $66,903,000. The weighted average interest rate was 6.6%. Interest earned from the interfund lending program amounted to $37,000 and is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. At period end there were no interfund loans outstanding.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the

securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which the loan was outstanding amounted to $5,300,000. The weighted average interest rate was 7.0%. At period end there were no bank borrowings outstanding.

8. Expense Reductions.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $201,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $14,000 and $46,000 respectively, under these arrangements.

9. Transactions with Affiliated Companies.

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