America's largest mutual fund manager. For Value Fund, foreign
affiliates of FMR may help choose investments.
TREND FUND

benefit from economic, financial, or market trends.
SIZE: As of December 31, 199 4 , the fund had over $ __
billion in assets.
VALUE FUND
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in equity securities of companies that own
valuable assets or that FMR believes are undervalued in the marketplace.
SIZE: As ofOctober 31 , 199 4 , the fund had over $ __ billion
in assets.
THE SPECTRUM OF
FIDELITY FUNDS
Broad categories of Fidelity
funds are presented here in
order of ascending risk.
Generally, investors seeking
to maximize return must
assume greater risk. The
funds in this prospectus are
in the GROWTH category.
(solid bullet) MONEY MARKET Seeks
income and stability by
investing in high-quality,
short-term investments.
(solid bullet) INCOME Seeks income by
investing in bonds.
(solid bullet) GROWTH AND INCOME
Seeks long-term growth and
income by investing in stocks
and bonds.
(right arrow) GROWTH Seeks long-term
growth by investing mainly in
stocks.
(checkmark)
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Thes e funds may be appropriate for investors who are willing to ride
out stock market fluctuations in pursuit of potentially high long-term
returns. Trend Fund is designed for those who are looking for an investment
approach that combines fundamental research with an analysis of market and
other trends. Value Fund is designed for those who are looking for an
investment approach that focuses on undervalued or asset-rich companies.
Both of these strategies can lead to investments in smaller, less
well-known companies.
The value of each fund's investments will vary from day to day, and
generally reflect market conditions, interest rates, and other company,
political, or economic news both here and abroad. In the
short - term, stock prices can fluctuate dramatically i n response
to these factors. The securities of small, less well-known companies may be
more volatile than those of larger compnies. Over time, however, stocks
have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities.
Investments in foreign securities may involve risks in addition to those of
U.S. investments, including increased political and economic risk, as well
as exposure to currency fluctuations. When you sell your shares, they
may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. By themselves,
the funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy or sell
shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and
reinvested distributions None
Deferred sales charge on redemptions None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays a management fee that varies based on its performance. It also
incurs other expenses for services such as maintaining shareholder records
and furnishing shareholder statements and financial reports. A
fund's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are not
charged directly to shareholder accounts (see page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses adjusted to
reflect current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of average net
assets. A portion of the brokerage commissions that the funds paid was used
to reduce fund expenses. Without this reduction, the total fund operating
expenses would have been __ % for Trend Fund and __ % for Value
Fund.
TREND FUND
Management fee %
12b-1 fee None
Other expenses %

VALUE FUND

EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you
close your account after the number of years indicated:
TREND FUND
After 1 year $
After 3 years $
After 5 years $
After 10 years $
VALUE FUND
After 1 year $
After 3 years $
After 5 years $
After 10 years $
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of expenses
for portfolio management,
shareholder statements, tax
reporting, and other services.
These costs are paid from the
fund's assets; their effect is
already factored into any
quoted share price or return.
(checkmark)
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The tables that follow are included in each fund's Annual Report and
have been audited by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent
accountants. Their reports on the financial statements and financial
highlights are included in the Annual Reports. The financial statements and
financial highlights are incorporated by reference into (are legally a part
of) the funds' Statement of Additional Information.
[Financial Highlights to be filed by subsequent amendment.]
PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance is commonly measured as TOTAL RETURN. The total
returns that follow are based on historical fund results and do not reflect
the effect of taxes.
Trend Fund's fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. Value
Fund's fiscal year runs from November 1 through October 31. The tables
below show each fund's performance over past fiscal years compared to two
measures: investing in a broad selection of stocks (S&P 500), and not
investing at all (inflation, or CPI). To help you compare these funds to
other funds, the chart on page 9 displays calendar-year performance.

UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
Because these funds invest
in stocks, their performance
is related to that of the overall
stock market. Historically,
stock market performance
has been characterized by
volatility in the short run and
growth in the long run. You
can see these two
characteristics reflected in the
fund's performance; the
year-by-year total returns on
page 9 show that short-term
returns can vary widely, while
the returns at left show
long-term growth.
(checkmark)
EXAMPLE: Mountain charts illustrate the growth of a hypothetical investment
over time. The charts on page 8 show the growth in value of a
$10,000 investment made in each fund on its fiscal year end in 1984 through
its current fiscal year end.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a fund over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
S&P 500(registered trademark) is the Standard & Poor's Composite Index
of 500 Stocks, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock
prices. The S&P 500 figures assume reinvestment of all dividends paid by
stocks included in the index. They do not, however, include any allowance
for the brokerage commissions or other fees you would pay if you actually
invested in those stocks.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
THE COMPETITIVE FUNDS AVERAGES, which assume reinvestment of distributions,
are published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Trend Fund compares to
the Lipper Growth Funds Average, and Value Fund compares its performance
to the Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Average. These averages currently
reflect the performance of over ___ and ___ mutual funds with
similar objectives, respectively.

THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. In technical ter ms, Trend
Fund is currently a diversified fu nd of Fidelity Trend Fund, and
Value Fund is currently a diversified fund of Fidelity Capital Trust.
Both trusts are open-end management investment companies . Fidelity
Trend Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 31,
1984. Fidelity Capital Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on May 31, 1978. There is a remote possibility that one fund might
become liable for a misstatem en t in the prospectus about another
fund.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review performance. The majority of trustees are not otherwise
affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
Fidelity will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and
information about the proposals to be voted on.
For Trend Fund, y ou are entitled to one vote for each share you
own. For Value Fund, the number of votes you are entitled to is
based upon the dollar value of your investment.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The funds are managed by FMR, which chooses their investments and handles
their business affairs. Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR
U.K.), in London, England, and Fidelity Management & Research (Far East)
Inc. (FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, assist FMR with foreign investments.
Alan Leifer is manager and Vice President of Trend, which he has managed
since June 1987. Previously, he managed Contrafund and Select
Industrial Materials. Mr. Leifer joined Fidelity in 1979.
Jeffrey Ubben is manager and Vice President of Value, which he has
managed since December 1992. Previously, he managed Fidelity Utilities
Income, Qualified Dividend and Select Defense and Aerospace, Utilities, and
Electric Utilities. He was also a research analyst for the aerospace and
defense, textiles and apparel, toy and business service industries. He
joined Fidelity in 1987.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) performs transfer
agent servicing functions for the funds.
FMR Corp. is the parent company of FMR, FMR Far East, and FMR U.K.
Through ownership of voting common stock, members of the Edward C. Johnson
3d family form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp. Changes may
occur in the Johnson family group, through death or disability, which would
result in changes in each individual family member's holding of stock. Such
changes could result in one or more family members becoming holders of over
25% of the stock. FMR Corp. has received an opinion of counsel that changes
in the composition of the Johnson family group under these circumstances
would not result in the termination of the funds' management or
distribution contracts and, accordingly, would not require a shareholder
vote to continue operation under those contracts.
FMR may use its broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell fund
shares to carry out a fund's transactions, provided that the fund receives
brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
TREND FUND SEEKS CAPITAL APPRECIATION by in vesting mai nly in equity
securities of well-known and established companies as well as smaller, less
well-known companies.
When selecting the fund's investments, FMR examines the momentum of
earnings and price trends of companies, industries, and the market. FMR
also analyzes the fundamental values of companies and industries. Depending
on FMR's analysis, the fund may purchase any type of domestic or foreign
security in any amount. For example, the fund may be heavily invested in
"cyclical" industries, such as capital goods companies, or in "defensive"
industries, such as utilities and food companies. This flexibility
allows the fund to respond to trends among industries or to changes in
a company's earnings and assets.
VALUE FUND SEEKS CAPITAL APPRECIATION by investing mainly in equit y
securities of companies that possess valuable assets, or that FMR believes
are undervalued in the marketplace. The fund invests primarily in stocks
and convertible securities, but may invest in other types of securities as
well.
Valuable assets may include equipment, natural resources, or real estate.
Many intangible assets such as franchises, trademarks, and transportation
routes can also add to a company's value. When determining whether a
company is undervalued, FMR considers assets, earnings, growth potential,
and other factors. A company may be undervalued in relation to the market
in general or in its potential for growth of earnings and book value. A
company may also be undervalued if it has the potential for sharply
improved earnings or if it recently changed management or control.
The value of the funds' domestic and foreign investments varies in
response to many factors. Stock values fluctuate in response to the
activities of individual companies, and general market and economic
conditions. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies may be
particularly volatile. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks
in addition to those of U.S. investments, including increased political and
economic risk, as well as exposure to currency fluctuations.
FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge a fund's risks, but
there is no guarantee that these strategies will work as FMR intends. Also,
as a mutual fund, the funds seek to spread investment risk by diversifying
their holdings among may companies and industries. Of course, when you sell
your shares of a fund, they may be worth more or less than what you paid
for them.
FMR normally invests each fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. Trend Fund may purchase securities for the short term when FMR
believes doing so will benefit shareholders and is consistent with sound
investment procedure. Value Fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt
instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, and strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective. A summary of risks and
restrictions associated with these instrument types and investment
practices is included as well. A complete listing of each fund's
policies and limitations and more detailed information about the funds'
investments is contained in the funds' SAI . Policies and limitations
are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments is not
required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques to
the full extent permitted unless it believes that doing so will help the
funds achieve their goals. Current holdings and recent investment
strategies are described in the funds' financial reports which are sent to
shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
1-800-544-8888.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent
an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. Although equity
securities have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices
fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on
overall market and economic conditions. Smaller companies are especially
sensitive to these factors.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of total assets, a fund may not own
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer .
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. In
general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa.
Debt securities have varying degrees of quality and varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term bonds are generally
more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds.
Lower-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk bonds") are often
considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of default or price
changes due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness , or they may
already be in default. The market prices of these securities may
fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly
in periods of general economic difficulty.
The tables below and on page 14 provide a summary of ratings
assigned to debt holdings (not including money market instruments) in each
fund's portfolio. These figures are dollar-weighted averages of month-end
portfolio holdings during fiscal 1 994 , and are presented as a
percentage of total security investments. These percentages are historical
and do not necessarily indicate a fund's current or future debt holdings.

FUND'S TOTAL SECURITY INVESTMENTS. REFER TO THE FUND'S STATEMENT OF
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR A MORE COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THESE RATINGS.
FOREIGN SECURITIES and foreign currencies may involve additional risks.
These include currency fluctuations, risks relating to political or
economic conditions in the foreign country, and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
In addition to the political and economic factors that can affect foreign
securities, a governmental issuer may be unwilling to repay principal and
interest when due, and may require that the conditions for payment be
renegotiated. These factors could make foreign investments, especially
those in developing countries, more volatile.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. A fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other factors that
affect security values. These techniques may involve derivative
transactions such as buying and selling options and futures contracts,
entering into currency exchange contracts or swap agreements, and
purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of a fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
DIRECT DEBT. Loans and other direct debt instruments are interests in
amounts owed to another party by a company, government, or other borrower.
They have additional risks beyond conventional debt securities because they
may entail less legal protection for a fund, or there may be a requirement
that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of other securities, including illiquid securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may
result in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than
10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid or restricted
securities.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS may include securities of closed-end investment
companies and real estate-related investments.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of total assets, a fund may not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer. A fund also may
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry. These
limitations do not apply to U.S. government secu rities.
BORROWING. A fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR,
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 the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are
outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
LENDING. Lending securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
FBSI, an affiliate of FMR, is a means of earning income. This practice
could result in a loss or a delay in recovering a fund's securities. A fund
may also lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of a fund's total
assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
TREND FUND seeks growth of capital by investing in securities of well-known
and established companies as well as smaller, less well-known companies.
FMR seeks to take advantage of trends in security values reflecting changes
in general and particular economic and financial conditions. Purchases and
sales of securities for the fund are based on FMR's study of momentum in
trends of individual company, industry, and general market security prices
and earnings, and on a fundamental analysis of the particular company and
its industry. Securities may be purchased for the short term when FMR
believes doing so will benefit shareholders and is consistent with sound
investment procedure. There is no restriction as to the type of security
that may be purchased, and the fund may invest substantially in cyclical or
defensive industries.
VALUE FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing in securities of
companies that possess valuable fixed assets, or that FMR believes are
undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the issuing
company's assets, earnings, or growth potential. Such companies will
generally have one or more of the following attributes: (1) valuable fixed
assets; (2) valuable consumer or commercial franchises or potentially
valuable transportation routes; (3) selling at low market valuations of
assets relative to the securities market in general, or companies that may
currently be earning a very low return on assets but which have the
potential to earn higher returns if conditions in the industry improve; (4)
are undervalued in relation to their potential for growth in earnings,
dividends, and book value; or (5) have recently changed management or
control and have the potential for a "turnaround" in earnings. The fund
expects to invest primarily in stocks and convertible securities, but it
may also invest in debt obligations consistent with its objective.
EACH FUND , with respect to 75% of total assets, may not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer and may not own more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. Each
fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. Each fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets. Loans, in the
aggregate, may not exceed 33% of a fund's total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of a fund's assets are reflected in its share
price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor
deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to affiliates who provides
assistance with these services. Each fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained on pa ge .
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 terminated
at any time without notice, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The amount of
the fee is determined by taking a BASIC FEE and then applying a PERFORMANCE
ADJUSTMENT. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the
management fee, depending on how well a fund has performed relative to the
S&P 500.
Manage = Ba +/- Performa
ment sic nce
fee fee adjustme
nt
THE BASIC FEE (calculated monthly) is calculated by adding a group fee rate
to an individual fund fee rate, and multiplying the result by a fund's
average net assets. The group fee rate is based on the average net assets
of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above .52%,
and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For October 1994 and December 199 4, the group fee rate was
__ % and __%, respectively. The individual fund fee rate is .30%
fo r Trend Fund and Value Fund. The basic fee rate at each
fund's fiscal year end was __% for Trend Fund and __ %
for Value Fund .
THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT rate is calculated monthly by comparing each
fund's performance to that of the S&P 500 over the most recent 36-month
period. The difference is translated into a dollar amount that is added to
or subtracted from the basic fee. The maximum annualized performance
adjustment rate is ".20%.
The total management fee rate for fiscal 19 94 was __% fo r
Trend Fund and _ _ % for Value Fund .
UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The basic fee FMR receives
is designed to be responsive
to changes in FMR's total
assets under management.
Building this variable into the
fee calculation assures
shareholders that they will
pay a lower rate as FMR's
assets under management
increase.
Another variable, the
performance adjustment,
rewards FMR when the fund
outperforms the S&P 500 (an
established index of stock
market performance) and
reduces FMR's fee when the
fund underperforms this
index.
(checkmark)
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on issuers
based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory agreements, FMR
pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively,
of the costs of providing these services.
For Value Fund, the sub-advisers may also provide investment management
services. In return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50%
of its management fee rate with respect to a fund's investments that the
sub-adviser manages on a discretionary basis.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the funds' annual
operating costs, the funds have other expenses as well.
The funds contract with FSC to perform many transaction and accounting
functions. These services include processing shareholder transactions,
valuing each fund's investments, and handling securities loans. In fiscal
19 94 , Trend Fund
and Value Fund paid FSC fees equal to __% and __% ,
respectively, of average net assets.
The funds also pay other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees who are
not affiliated with Fidelity. A broker-dealer may use a portion of the
commissions paid by a fund to reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent
fees.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan. These plans
recognize that FMR may use its resources, including management fees, to pay
expenses associated with the sale of fund shares. This may include payments
to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that provide shareholder
support services or engage in the sale of the fund's shares. It is
important to note, however, that the funds do not pay FMR any separate fees
for this service.
For fiscal 19 94 , the portfolio turnover rates for Trend Fund and
Value Fund were __% and __ %, respectively. These rates vary from
year to year. High turnover rates increase transaction costs and may
increase taxable capital gains. FMR considers these effects when evaluating
the anticipated benefits of short-term investing.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. You may sell your fund shares and buy shares of other
Fidelity funds by telephone or in writing.
Note that exchanges out of a fund are limited to four per calendar year,
and that they may have tax consequences for you. For details on policies
and restrictions governing exchanges, including circumstances under which a
shareholder's exchange privilege may be suspended or revoked, see page .
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLANS let you set up periodic redemptions from your
account.
FIDELITY MONEY LINE(registered trademark) enables you to transfer money by
phone between your bank account and your fund account. Most transfers are
complete within three business days of your call.
REGULAR INVESTMENT PLANS
One easy way to pursue your financial goals is to invest money regularly.
Fidelity offers convenient services that let you transfer money into your
fund account, or between fund accounts, automatically. While regular
investment plans 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. Certain restrictions apply for retirement accounts. Call
1-800-544-6666 for more information.

A BECAUSE THEIR SHARE PRICES FLUCTUATE, THESE FUNDS MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE
CHOICES FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net income and capital gains
to shareholders each year. Normally dividends and capital gains are
distributed in February (Trend Fund only) and December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. Each fund offers four
options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend 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, but you will be sent a check for each dividend
distribution.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in another
identically registered Fidelity fund.
FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
When a fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, the reinvestment price is
the fund's NAV at the close of business that day. Cash distribution checks
will be mailed within seven days or longer for a December ex-dividend date.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you
are entitled to your share of
the fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The
fund passes its earnings
along to its investors as
DISTRIBUTIONS.
Each fund earns dividends
from stocks and interest from
bond, money market, and
other investments. These are
passed along as DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund
realizes capital gains
whenever it sells securities
for a higher price than it paid
for them. These are passed
along as CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS.
(checkmark)
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in a fund
will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account,
you should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income tax,
and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live outside the
United States, your distributions could also be taxed by the country in
which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when they are paid,
whether you take them in cash or reinvest them. However, distributions
declared in December and paid in January are taxable as if they were paid
on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, each fund's income and short-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions
are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every January, Fidelity will send you
and the IRS a statement showing the taxable distributions paid to you in
the previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or loss
is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of a fund, Fidelity will send you a confirmation
statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. You will also
receive a consolidated transaction statement every January. However, it is
up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this sale resulted in a
capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your
regular account statements; the information they contain will be essential
in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before a fund deducts a
distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares and
then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable
distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. A fund may pay withholding or other
taxes to foreign governments during the year. These taxes reduce the fund's
distributions, but are included in the taxable income reported on your tax
statement. You may be able to claim an offsetting tax credit or itemized
deduction for foreign taxes paid by the fund. Your tax statement will
generally show the amount of foreign tax for which a credit or deduction
may be available.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a fund may
have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUNDS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
EACH FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Foreign securities are valued on the basis of quotations
from the primary market in which they are traded, and are translated from
the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. If
quotations are not readily available, or if the values have been
materially affected by events occurring after the closing of a foreign
market, assets are valued by a method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE
(price to sell one share) are its NAV.
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.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity may only be
liable for losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it does not
follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the identity of the caller.
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and
may also record calls. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation
statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the
ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of a fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
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) Each fund 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
cancelled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or its
transfer agent has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY OR SELL SHARES OF THE FUNDS THROUGH A BROKER, who may charge
you a fee for this service. If you invest through a broker or other
institution, read its program materials for any additional service features
or fees that may apply.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements with
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
financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on
the next business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely
affect a fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day after
your phone call.
(small solid bullet) Each fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is
reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line
have been collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(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.
TO SELL CERTIFICATE SHARES, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The funds
no longer issue certificate shares.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to qualified
recipients who support the sale of shares of the funds without
reimbursement from the funds. Qualified recipients are securities dealers
who have sold fund shares or others, including banks and other financial
institutions, under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales
activities. In some instances, these incentives may be offered only to
certain institutions whose representatives provide services in connection
with the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
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:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange 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) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you
pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and
any sales charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you
are exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2%
on your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge,
you would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance
and shareholders, each fund reserves the right to 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, including accounts with the same taxpayer
identification number, will be counted together for purposes of the four
exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts in
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) Each fund reserves the right to 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.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

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) of the fund.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF TREND FUND
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, 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,
(a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the
securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) 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;
(4) 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;
(5) 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;
(6) 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);
(7) 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
(8) 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.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) 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.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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 (3)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. The fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% 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.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase interests
of real estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or
interests in real estate limited partnerships that are not listed on
an exchange or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System if, as
a result, the sum of such interests and other investments considered
illiquid under limitation (iv) would exceed 10% of the fund's net
assets .
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 5% 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.)
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years of continuous operation.
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to purchase warrants, valued at the
lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the fund's net assets. Included
in that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the fund's net assets, may be
warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American
Stock Exchange. Warrants acquired by the fund in units or attached to
securities are not subject to these restrictions.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(xi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the fund and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.

contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on page 10 .
INVESTMENT POLICIES SHARED BY THE FUNDS
Each fund's investments must be consistent with its investment objective
and policies. Accordingly, not all of the security types and investment
techniques discussed below are eligible investments for each of the
funds.
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 Investment Company Act of 1940.
These transactions may include 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, the Board of
Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The funds do not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. Each 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 that each fund may engage in, 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 the funds 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.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Boards of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR,
the Board monitor s investments in illiquid instruments. In
determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various
factors, including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the
number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by a fund to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days, over-the-counter options, and non-government
stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. Also, FMR may determine
some restricted securities, government-stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed
securities, loans and other direct debt instruments, emerging market
securities, and swap agreements to be illiquid. However, with respect
to over-the-counter options a fund writes, all or a portion of the value of
the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the assets held to
cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement the fund may
have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced at
fair value as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees. If through a change in values, net assets, or other
circumstances, a fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net
assets w as invested in illiquid securities, it would seek to take
appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
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, a fund 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, a fund might
obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek
registration of the security.
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 are subject to each fund's policies
regarding the quality of debt securities.
Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily
upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of principal and
interest. Direct debt instruments may not be rated by any nationally
recognized rating service. If a fund does not receive scheduled interest or
principal payments on such indebtedness, the fund's share price and
yield could be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured offer a
fund more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of non-payment of
scheduled interest or principal. However, there is no assurance that the
liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's
obligation, or that the collateral c ould 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 involve s 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 to a fund.
For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the fund 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,
the fund 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. Direct debt instruments that are not in the form of
securities may offer less legal protection to a fund in the event of fraud
or misrepresentation. In the absence of definitive regulatory guidance,
each fund rel ies on FMR's research in an attempt to avoid
situations where fraud or misrepresentation could adversely affect the
fund.
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, each fund has direct recourse against the
borrower, it 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 fund were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general
creditors, the fund 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 purchased by each fund may include letters of
credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments
obligating the fund to pay additional cash on demand. These commitments may
have the effect of requiring the fund 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. Each fund will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account to cover its potential obligations under standby
financing commitments.
Each fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one
issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see limitations (1) and (5)
for both f und s . For purposes of these limitations,
each 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
each fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to
the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC
interpretations require the 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.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. Each fund has received permission from
the SEC to lend money to and borrow from other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. Interfund loans and borrowings normally will extend overnight,
but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one
day's notice. Each fund will lend through the program only when the
returns are higher than those available at the same time from other
short-term instruments (such as repurchase agreements), and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost
of bank loans. Each 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.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the 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. A repurchase agreement involves the
obligation of the seller to pay the agreed-upon resale price, which
obligation is in effect secured by the value (at least equal to the amount
of the agreed - upon resale price and marked to market daily) of the
underlying security. A fund may engage in repurchase
agreement s with respect to any type of security in which it
is authorized to invest . While it does not presently appear possible
to eliminate all risks from these transactions (particularly the
possibility of a decline in the market value of the underlying securities,
as well as delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy
proceedings), it is each fund's current policy to limit repurchase
agreement transactions to those parties whose creditworthiness has been
reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, a fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement. Each fund
will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties whose
creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of a fund's assets and may be
viewed as a form of leverage.
SWAP AGREEMENTS. 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 U.S. 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. A fund is not limited to any
particular form of swap agreement if FMR determines it is consistent with
the fund's investment objective and policies.
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.
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. Each fund expects to be able to eliminate
its exposure under swap agreements either by assignment or other
disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same
party or a similarly creditworthy party.
Each fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its current obligations under swap agreements. If a fund
enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate assets with
a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the fund's accrued
obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount the fund is
entitled to receive under the agreement. If a fund enters into a swap
agreement on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value
equal to the full amount of the fund's accrued obligations under the
agreement.
INDEXED SECURITIES. Each fund may purchase securities whose prices are
indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, 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. Gold-indexed securities, for
example, typically provide for a maturity value that depends on the price
of gold, resulting in a security whose price tends to rise and fall
together with gold prices. 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 of equivalent issuers. 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
U.S. and abroad. At the same time, indexed securities are 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. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the underlying instruments.
SECURITIES LENDING. Each fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there may be
delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of rights in
collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good standing. Furthermore,
they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment, the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that a fund
may engage in loan transactions only under the following conditions: (1)
the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of cash or cash
equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the borrower; (2) the
borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the
securities loaned (determined on a daily basis) rises above the value of
the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the fund must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (4) the fund must receive reasonable interest on the
loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the securities loaned and to
any increase in market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees
must be able to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by
terminating the loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with
the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in any security in
which a fund is authorized to invest. Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. Investing in securities issued by companies or
other issuers whose principal activities are outside the United States may
involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S.
investments. 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. In addition,
there is generally less publicly available information about foreign
issuers' financial condition and operations, particularly those not subject
to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws.
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. Further, economies of particular
countries or areas of the world may differ favorably or unfavorably from
the economy of the United States.
Investing abroad also involves different political and economic risks.
Foreign investments may be affected by actions of foreign governments
adverse to the interests of U.S. investors, including the possibility of
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. There
may be a greater possibility of default by foreign governments or foreign
government-sponsored enterprises. Investments in foreign countries also
involve a risk of local political, economic, or social instability,
military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments. There is no
assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or
counter their effects. The considerations noted above generally are
intensified for investments in developing countries. Developing countries
may have relatively unstable governments, economies based on only a few
industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of securities.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets.
It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on exchanges or in over-the-counter 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 (particularly
those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile
than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading
practices, including those involving securities settlement where fund
assets may be released prior to receipt of payment, may expose a fund to
increased risk in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a
foreign broker-dealer, and may involve substantial delays. In addition, the
costs of foreign investing, including withholding taxes, brokerage
commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than for U.S.
investors. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and
regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in
the United States. It may also be difficult to enforce legal rights in
foreign countries.
Each fund may invest in foreign securities that 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.
A fund may invest in American Depository Receipts and European
Depository Receipts (ADRs and EDRs), which are certificates
evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign-based issuer held in trust by a
bank or similar financial institution. Designed for use in the U.S. and
European securities markets, respectively, ADRs and EDRs are alternatives
to the purchase of the underlying securities in their national markets and
currencies.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The funds may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis or by entering into forward
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date and
price. The funds will convert currency on a spot basis from time to time,
and investors should be aware of the costs of currency conversion. Although
foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for conversion, 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 to the fund at one rate, while offering a lesser
rate of exchange should the fund desire to resell that currency to the
dealer. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market
conducted 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.
Each fund may use currency forward contracts for any purpose consistent
with its investment objective . The following discussion summarizes the
principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that
could be used by each fund. The funds may also use swap agreements,
indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign
currencies for the same purposes.
When a fund agrees to buy or sell a security denominated in a foreign
currency, it may desire to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security.
By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed
amount of U.S. dollars, of the amount of foreign currency involved in the
underlying security transaction, the fund will be able to protect itself
against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date the
security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or
received. This technique is sometimes referred to as a "settlement hedge"
or "transaction hedge." The funds may also enter into forward contracts to
purchase or sell a foreign currency 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.
The funds 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 - for example, by entering into a forward
contract to sell Deutschemarks or European Currency Units in return for
U.S. dollars. 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 simple
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.
Each 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. For example, if a fund held investments
denominated in Deutschemarks, the fund could enter into forward contracts
to sell Deutschemarks and purchase Swiss Francs. 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 the 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 the fund to assume the
risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, the funds will
segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if any, whose purpose
is essentially speculative. The funds will not segregate assets to cover
forward contracts entered into for hedging purposes, including settlement
hedges, position hedges, and proxy hedges.
Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill
in analyzing and predicting 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 the 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, the fund would be unable to participate
in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through
proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from the hedge and the
security position at the same time 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, the fund will realize a loss.
There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to the funds or that it will hedge at an appropriate time.
LOWER- QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. While the market for high-yield
corporate debt securities has been in existence for many years and has
weathered previous economic downturns, the 1980s brought a dramatic
increase in the use of such securities to fund highly leveraged corporate
acquisitions and restructurings . Past experience may not provide an
accurate indication of the future performance of the high-yield bond
market, especially during periods of economic recession. In fact, from 1989
to 1991, the percentage of lower- quality securities that defaulted
rose significantly above prior levels, although the default rate decreased
in 1992 and 1993 .
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. If market
quotations are not available, lower- quality debt securities will be
valued in accordance with procedures established by each fund's Board of
Trustees, including the use of outside pricing services. Judgment plays a
greater role in valuing high-yield corporate debt securities than is the
case for securities for which more external sources for quotations and
last-sale information are available. Adverse publicity and changing
investor perceptions may affect the ability of outside pricing services to
value lower- quality debt securities and a fund ' s
ability to dispose of these securities.
Since 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 held by a fund. In
considering investments for a fund, 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.
Each 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.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." If a fund enters into a short sale against
the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and
amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or
exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such
securities while the short sale is outstanding. The funds will incur
transaction costs, including interest expense, in connection with opening,
maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.
REAL ESTATE-RELATED INSTRUMENTS include real estate investment trusts,
commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, and real estate
financings. Real estate-related instruments are sensitive to factors such
as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interests rates, cash
flow of underlying real estate assets, overbuilding, and the management
skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Real estate-related instruments
may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements, such as those
relating to the environment.
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, a 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 Statement of Additional Information, are not
fundamental policies and may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. When a fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees to
purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. When
a fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters into the contract. Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index (S&P 500). 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.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, a fund 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 fund 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 fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. A fund 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
paid, 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. When a fund writes a put option, it takes the
opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for
receipt of the premium, the fund 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. When writing an option on a futures contract
the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described
above for futures contracts. A fund may seek to terminate its position in a
put option it writes 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 the fund has written, however, the fund must
continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is
outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
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 a fund 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.
COMBINED POSITIONS. A fund may purchase and write 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, a fund may purchase a put option and write a call option on the
same underlying instrument, in order to 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, in order 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. The funds may invest in options and
futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities,
or other characteristics from the securities in which they typically
invest, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not
track the performance of a 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.
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 for a fund 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.
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 over-the-counter 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
funds 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.
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. The
funds may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write
currency options to increase or decrease their exposure to different
foreign currencies. A fund may also purchase and write currency options 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.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. The funds will comply
with guidelines established by the SEC with respect to coverage of options
and futures strategies by mutual funds, and if the guidelines so require
will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account
in the amount prescribed. Securities held in a segregated account cannot be
sold while the futures or option strategy is outstanding, unless they are
replaced with other suitable assets. As a result, there is a possibility
that segregation of a large percentage of a fund's assets could impede
portfolio management or a fund's ability to meet redemption requests or
other current obligations.
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. If FMR grants investment management authority to
the sub-advisers (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), the
sub-advisers are authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies
described below. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and 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 arrangements for payment of fund
expenses. Generally, c ommissions for foreign investments traded will
be higher than for U.S. investments and may not be subject to negotiation.
The funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds or other 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; the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses
and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement). The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is 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.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the funds 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 the funds. 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.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive 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
each 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 the funds and 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.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the funds or shares of other Fidelity
funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity Brokerage Services, Ltd. (FBSL), 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 who have entered
into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a
portion of the commissions paid by e ach fund toward payment of the
fund's expenses, such as transfer agent fees or custodian fees. 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
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain
requirements are satisfied . Pursuant to such re quirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized FBSI to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules .
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the fund s and review the commissions paid by
e ach 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, 1994, and 1993 (Trend Fund),
and October 31, 1994, and 1993 (Value Fund), the portfolio turnove r
rates for Trend Fund were ___%, and ___%, respectively, and ___%, and ___%,
respectively, for Value Fund. Because a high turnover rate increases
transaction costs and may increase taxable gains, FMR carefully weighs the
anticipated benefits of short-term investing against these consequences. An
increased turnover rate is due to a greater volume of shareholder purchase
orders, short-term interest rate volatility and other special market
conditions.
For fiscal 199 4 , 199 3 , and 199 2 , Trend Fund paid
brokerage commissions of $_________, $1,207,000, and
$1,106,883, respectively. For fiscal 199 4 , 199 3 , and
199 2 , Value Fund paid brokerage commissions of $__________,
$3,819,000, and $551,137, respectively. Each fund pays
both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions; FBSI is paid on a commission basis. During fiscal 1994, 1993,
and 1992 Trend Fund paid brokerage commissions of $__________, $447,000,
and $207,842, respectively, to FBSI. During fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992,
Value Fund paid brokerage commissions of $__________, $1,148,000, and
$136,602, respectively, to FBSI. During fiscal 1994, this amounted to
approximately ____% (Trend Fund) and __% (Value Fund) of the aggregate
brokerage commissions paid by each fund for transactions involving
approximately ____% (Trend Fund) and ___% (Value Fund) of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions in which each fund paid brokerage
commissions . The difference in the percentage of brokerage commissions
paid to and the percentage of the dollar amount of transactions effected
through FBSI is a result of the low commission rates charged by FBSI.
For fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992, Trend Fund paid no brokerage
commissions to FBSL. For fiscal 1994, and 1992, Value Fund paid
brokerage commissions of $___, and $309 to FBSL . Value Fund paid
no brokerage commissions to FBSL in fiscal 199 3 .
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund s of some portion of the brokerage
commissions or similar fees paid by the fund s on portfolio
transactions is legally permissible and advisable. Each fund
seek s 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 e ach fund are substantially
the same as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for
each fund are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR
or accounts managed by FMR affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same
security is held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or
accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds
and 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 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 e ach 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 e ach fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary
market or exchange on which they trade. Most e quity securities for
which the primary market is the U.S. are valued at last sale price or, if
no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most e quity
securities for which the primary market is outside the U.S. are valued
using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal
market where they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local
exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or last bid price is
normally used. Short-term securities are valued either at amortized cost or
at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value. Convertible securities and f ixed-income securities are valued
primarily by a pricing service that uses a vendor security valuation matrix
which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data
processing techniques. This two-fold approach is believed to more
accurately reflect fair value because it takes into account appropriate
factors such as institutional trading in similar groups of securities,
yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading
characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon
quoted, exchange, or over-the counter prices. Use of pricing services has
been approved by the Board of Trustees.
Securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market
are 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 the funds if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Boards of Trustees, some other method (e.g., closing
over-the-counter bid prices in the case of debt instruments traded on an
exchange) would more accurately reflect the fair market value of such
securities.
Generally, the valuation of foreign and domestic equity securities, as well
as corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, money market instruments,
and repurchase agreements, is substantially completed each day at the close
of the NYSE. The values of any such securities held by a fund are
determined as of such time for the purpose of computing the fund's
net asset value. Foreign security prices are furnished by independent
brokers or quotation services which express the value of 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 currency 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
net asset value. If an extraordinary event that is expected to materially
affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an
exchange on which that security is traded, then the security will be valued
as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of
Trustees.
PERFORMANCE
The funds 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 total 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.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total 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 the fund's net asset
value (NAV) over a stated period. Average annual total
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 total 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 the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, a fund may quote
unaveraged or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in
value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative
total 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. Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes
in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these factors
and their contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on
a before-tax or after-tax basis. Total 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 net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices 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.
MOVING AVERAGES. A fund may illustrate performance using moving averages. A
long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV
for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each
day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average Activity
Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each
week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators
showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving
average. On December 31, 199 4 , the 13-week and 39-week long-term
moving averages for Trend Fund were $ _____ and $ _____ ,
respectively. On October 29, 199 4 , the 13-week and 39-week long-term
moving averages for Value Fund were $ _____ and $ _____ ,
respectively.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows the funds' total
returns for periods ended October 31, 1994 for Value Fund and December 31,
1994 for Trend Fund.

The following table s show the income and capital elements of each
fund's cumulative total return. The table compares each fund's
return to the record of the Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks (S&P 500(registered trademark)), the Dow Jones Industrial Average
(DJIA), and the cost of living (measured by the Consumer Price Index, or
CPI) over the same period. The CPI information is as of the month end
closest to the initial investment date for each fund. The S&P 500 and the
DJIA comparisons are provided to show how each fund's total return compared
to the record of a broad average of common stock prices and a narrower set
of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same
period. Each fund has the ability to invest in securities not included in
either index, and its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in
composition to the indices. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA are based on
the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the funds' returns, do
not include the effect of paying brokerage commissions and other costs of
investing.
TREND FUND. During the ten year period ended December 31,
199 4 , a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Trend Fund would have
grown to $ _________ , assuming all distributions were reinvested.
This was a period of fluctuating stock prices and the figures below
should not be considered representative of the dividend income or capital
gain or loss that could be realized from an investment in the fund today.

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 Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper), an independent service
located in Summit, New Jersey tha t monitors the performance of
mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of total return,
assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges or
redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared without regard to tax
consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance
may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund
performance indices prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When
comparing these indices, 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 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, 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.
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.
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 three 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 indices.
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 total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices 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; the effects of periodic
investment plans and dollar-cost averaging; saving for college or other
goals ; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit card. In addition,
Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business publications and
periodicals, including model portfolios or allocations, 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, a quarterly
magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.
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
the fund's historical share price fluctuations or total 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.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate a 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.
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.
A fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of December 31, 1994, FMR advised over $____ billion in tax-free fund
assets, $____ billion in money market fund assets, $_____ billion in equity
fund assets, $____ billion in international fund assets, and $_____ billion
in Spartan 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.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Each fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.
The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1995: New
Years Day (observed), Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday,
Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Day (observed). Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to
be observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any
time.
FSC normally determines each fund's NAV as of the close 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). To the extent that portfolio securities are
traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, a fund's NAV may
be affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing a fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving 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.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, each fund is required to
give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day notification
requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a modification would be
to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee, redemption fee, or deferred
sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of an exchange, or (ii) the
fund suspends the redemption of shares to be exchanged as permitted under
the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, or the fund to be
acquired suspends the sale of its shares because it is unable to invest
amounts effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies.
In the p rospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it
reserves the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective
and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. A portion of each fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the
extent that each fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends.
Because each fund may earn other types of income, such as interest ,
income from securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and short-term
capital gains, the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for
the deduction will generally be less than 100%. Each fund will notify
corporate shareholders annually of the percentage of fund dividends that
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction. A portion of each fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation. Gains (losses) attributable to foreign
currency fluctuations are generally taxable as ordinary income , and
therefore will increase (decrease) dividend distributions. Short-term
capital gains are distributed as dividend income. Each fund will send
each shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of dividends
and capital gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by e ach
fund on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of
time shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a
long-term capital gain distribution on shares of a fund and such shares are
held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss
equal to the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by e a ch fund are taxable to shareholders as
dividends, not as capital gains.
Trend Fund and Value Fund hereby designate approximately $__________,
and $_________, respectively, as a capital gain dividend for the purpose of
the dividend-paid deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities typically at a rate
between 10% and 35%. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other
payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because each fund
does not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will
constitute more than 50% of its tota l assets at the end of its fiscal
year, shareholders should not expect to claim a foreign tax credit or
deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes
withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes 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. Each fund intend s to
comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies,
including a requirement that capital gains from the sale of securities held
less than three months constitute less than 30% of the fund's gross income
for each fiscal year. Gains from some forward currency contracts, futures
contracts, and options are included in this 30% calculation, which may
limit a fund's investments in such instruments.
If a fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities, defined
as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the Internal Revenue
Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any
excess distribution or gain from the disposition of such shares. Interest
charges may also be imposed on a fund with respect to deferred taxes
arising from such distributions or gains. Generally, each fund will
elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares. Unrealized gains will be
recognized as income for tax purposes and must be distributed to
shareholders as dividends.
Value Fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of Fidelity
Capital Trust for tax purposes.
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. 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.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent company
organized in 1972. Through ownership of voting common stock and the
execution of a shareholders' voting agreement, Edward C. Johnson 3d,
Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson
family form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, which performs
shareholder servicing functions for institutional customers and funds sold
through intermediaries; and Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing Company,
which provides marketing services to various companies within the Fidelity
organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account 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 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.

The funds employ FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment
adviser and, subject to the supervision of each fund's Board of Trustees,
directs the investments of each fund in accordance with its investment
objective, policies, and limitations. FMR also provides the funds with all
necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the funds'
investments, and compensates all officers of the trusts, all Trustees who
are "interested persons" of the trusts or FMR, and all personnel of the
trusts or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of each
fund's Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the funds. 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 the funds; preparing all
general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations;
maintaining the funds' records and the registration of the funds' shares
under federal and state law; developing management and shareholder services
for the funds; and furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a
variety of subjects to each fund's Board of Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FSC, each fund pays all of its expenses, without limitation, that are not
assumed by those parties. The funds pay for typesetting, printing, and
mailing proxy material to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the
custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. Although each fund's
management contract provides that the fund will pay for typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
notices, and reports to existing shareholders, each trust has entered into
a revised transfer agent agreement with FSC, pursuant to which FSC bears
the cost of providing these services to existing shareholders. Other
expenses paid by the funds include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
each fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment
Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
and state securities laws. Each fund is also liable for such nonrecurring
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 the trusts'
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is the manager of Trend Fund and Value Fund pursuant to management
contracts dated August 1, 1993 and November 1, 1994, respectively, which
were approved by shareholders on July 14, 1993 and October 26, 1994,
respectively. For the services of FMR under the contracts, each fund pays
FMR a monthly management fee composed of the sum of two elements: a basic
fee and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the fund's
performance to that of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks (S&P 500).
COMPUTING THE BASIC FEE. Each fund's basic fee rate is composed of two
elements: 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 and is
calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate
schedule shown on the left. On the right, the effective fee rate schedule
shows the results of cummulatively applying the annualized rates at varying
asset levels. For example the effective annual group fee rate at
$ ____ billion of group net assets - their approximate level for
December 199 4 - was _____ %, which is the weighted average of
the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to that
level .

Prior to November 1, 1994, Value Fund's group fee rate was based on a
schedule with breakpoints ending at .3100% for average group assets in
excess of $102 billion. The group fee rate breakpoints shown above for
average group assets in excess of $138 billion and under $228 billion were
voluntarily adopted by FMR on January 1, 1992. The additional breakpoints
shown above for average group assets in excess of $228 billion were
voluntarily adopted by FMR on November 1, 1993.
On August 1, 1994, FMR voluntarily revised the prior extensions to the
group fee rate schedule, and added new breakpoints. The revised group fee
rate schedule provides for lower management fee rates as FMR's assets under
management increase. The fund's current management contract reflects the
group fee rate schedule above for average group assets under $210 billion
and the group fee rate schedule on page 23 for average group assets in
excess of $210 billion.
Under Trend Fund's current management contract with FMR, the group fee
rate is based on a schedule with breakpoints ending at .3000% for average
group assets in excess of 174 billion. Prior to August 1, 1993, the group
fee rate breakpoints shown above for average group assets in excess of $138
billion and under $228 billion were voluntarily adopted by FMR, and went
into effect on January 1, 1992. The additional breakpoints shown above for
average group assets in excess of $228 billion were voluntarily adopted by
FMR on November 1, 1993.
On August 1, 1994, FMR voluntarily revised the prior extensions to the
group fee rate schedule, and added new breakpoints. The revised group fee
rate schedule provides for lower management fee rates as FMR's assets under
management increase. The revised group fee rate schedule is identical to
the above schedule for average group assets under $210 billion. For average
group assets in excess of $210 billion, the group fee rate schedule
voluntarily adopted by FMR as follows:

The individual fund fee rate for each fund is .30%. Based on the
average net assets of funds advised by FMR for December 199 4 (Trend)
and October 199 4 (Value) , the annual basic fee rate would be
calculated as follows:
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Basic Fee Rate
Trend Fund . ____ % + .30% = . ____ %
Value Fund . ____ % + .3 0 % = . ____ %
One-twelfth (1/12) of this annual basic fee rate is then applied to each
fund's average net assets for the current month, giving a dollar amount
which is the fee for that month.
COMPUTING THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The basic fee is subject to upward or
downward adjustment, depending upon whether, and to what extent, a fund's
investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded
by, the record of the S&P 500 over the same period. The performance period
consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months. Each
percentage point of difference (up to a maximum difference of + 10) is
multiplied by a performance adjustment rate of .02%. Thus, the maximum
annualized adjustment rate is + .20%. This performance comparison is made
at the end of each month. One-twelfth of this rate is then applied to a
fund's average net assets for the entire performance period, giving a
dollar amount which will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.
Each fund's performance is calculated based on change in net asset value.
For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or
capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if reinvested in
fund shares at the net asset value as of the record date for payment. The
record of the S&P 500 is based on change in value and is adjusted for any
cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the S&P 500.
Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on a fund's performance
compared to the investment record of the S&P 500, the controlling factor is
not whether a fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up
or down more or less than the record of the S&P 500. Moreover, the
comparative investment performance of each fund is based solely on the
relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance
over a longer or shorter period of time.
During the funds' last three fiscal years, FMR received the payments shown
in the following table for its services as investment adviser to the funds.
These fees include both the basic fee and the performance adjustment. If
FMR had not voluntarily adopted the extended group fee rate schedules,
these fees would have been higher.

* Parentheses indicate a downward performance adjustment.
To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse a
fund if and to the extent that the fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net assets. The
applicable percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next
$70 million, and 1 1/2 % of average net assets in excess of $100 million.
When calculating a fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, the
fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan expenses and
custodian fees attributable to investments in foreign securities.
SUB-ADVISERS. FMR entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive
investment advice and research services outside the United States from the
sub-advisors. On behalf of Value Fund, FMR may also grant the sub-advisors
investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in countries
other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific
Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East are wholly owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under
the sub-advisory agreements FMR pays the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East.
For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services,
FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%,
respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection
with providing investment advice and research services.
On behalf of Value Fund, for providing discretionary investment
management and executing portfolio transactions, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR
Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee (including any
performance adjustment) with respect to the fund's average net assets
managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
For providing investment advice and research services, the fees paid to
the sub-advisers for fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992 were as follows:
TREND FUND
FMR U.K. FMR Far East
1994 $ $

No fees were paid to the sub-advisors for providing discretionary
investment management and executing portfolio transactions on behalf of
Value Fund for fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
Each fund has adopted a distribution and service plan (the plans) under
Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 adopted by the
fund under the Rule. Each fund's Board of Trustees has adopted the plan to
allow the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered
to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses. Under
the plans, if the payment of management fees by a 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 also specifically recognizes that FMR, either
directly or through FDC , may use its management fee revenue, past
profits, or other resources, without limitation, to pay promotional and
administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares of
the fund. In addition, each plan provide that FMR may use its
resources, including its management fee revenues, to make payments to third
parties that provide assistance in selling shares of the fund , or to
third parties, including banks, that render shareholder support services.
Each fund's plan has been approved by the Trustees. As required by the
Rule, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to
the implementation of each plan prior to its approval, and
have determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the p lan
will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular,
the Trustees noted that each p lan do es 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 give s
FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of
shares of the funds, additional sales of the fund's shares may result.
Additionally, certain shareholder support services may be provided more
effectively under each plan by local entities with whom shareholders
have other relationships.
Each plan was approved by shareholders on _________, 19 (Trend Fund),
and on _________,19_ (Value Fund), respectively.
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.
Each 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. In addition, state
securities laws on this issue may differ from the interpretations of
federal law expressed herein, and banks and financial institutions may be
required to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES AFFILIATED WITH FMR
FSC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholders' servicing agent for
the funds. Under each trust's contract with FSC, each fund pays an annual
fee of $2 6 . 03 per basic retail account with a balance of
$5,000 or more, $15. 31 per basic retail account with a balance of
less than $5,000, and a supplemental activity charge of $ 2.25 for
standing order transactions and $6.11 for other monetary transactions.
These fees and charges are subject to annual cost escalation based on
postal rates changes and changes in wage and price levels as measured by
the National Consumer Price Index for Urban Areas. With resp ect to
certain institutional client master accounts, the fund s pay
FSC a per-account fee of $95.00 and monetary transaction charges of $20.00
or 17.50, depending on the nature of services provided. With respect to
certain broker-dealer master accounts, the funds pay FSC a per-account fee
of $30.00 and a charge of $6.00 for monetary transactions. Fees for certain
institutional retirement plan accounts are based on the net assets of all
such accounts in a fund.
Under the contracts, 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
shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
The table below shows the transfer agent fees paid to FSC during each
fund's last three fiscal years . Trend Fund's fiscal year end is December
31, 1994, and Value Fund's fiscal year end is October 31, 1994. If a
portion of each fund's brokerage commissions had not resulted in payment of
certain of these fees, Trend Fund would have paid transfer agent fees of
$___, $___, and $___, respectively, and Value Fund would have paid $___,
$___, and $___, respectively.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES
199 4 199 3 199 2
Trend Fund $ $ 2,630,000 $ 1,447,549
Value Fund $ $3,204,000 $711,816
Each trust's contract with FSC also provides that FSC will perform the
calculations necessary to determine each fund's net asset value per share
and dividends, and maintain the fund's accounting records. The fee rates
for pricing and bookkeeping are based on each fund's average net assets,
specifically, .06% for the first $500 million of average net assets and
.03% for average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee is limited
to a minimum of $45,000 and a maximum of $750,000 per year.
The table below shows the fees paid to FSC for pricing and bookkeeping
services, including related out-of-pocket expenses during each fund's last
three fiscal years.

Trend Fund $ $ 543,000 $ 430,334
Value Fund $ $ 479,000 $ 146,260
Each fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is 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 each fund, which are continuously
offered at net asset value. Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUSTS' ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Trend Fund is an open-end management
investment company originally organized as a Massachusetts corporation on
December 18, 1957. On December 31, 1984, the fund was reorganized as a
Massachusetts business trust, at which time its name was changed from
Fidelity Trend Fund, Inc. to Fidelity Trend Fund. Fidelity Capital Fund,
Inc., an investment company also advised by FMR, was merged with Fidelity
Trend Fund on December 31, 1979.
Fidelity Value Fund is a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust
on May 31, 1978. On September 21, 1978, the trust's name was changed from
Devon Equity Fund to Fidelity Asset Investment Trust. On December 30, 1983,
the trust's name was changed to Fidelity Discoverer Fund. On August 1,
1986, the trust's name was changed to Fidelity Value Fund, and on November
1, 1986, the trust's name was changed to Fidelity Capital Trust. Currently,
there are four funds of the trust: Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund,
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund, Fidelity Stock Selector, and Fidelity
Value Fund.
The Declarations of Trust permits the Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to a trust or a
fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity"
may be withdrawn. There is a remote possibility that one fund might become
liable for any misstatement in its prospectus or statement of additional
information about another fund.
The assets of each trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such
fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying
assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be
charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of
the general liabilities of their respective trusts. Expenses with respect
to each trust are to be allocated in proportion to the asset value of their
respective funds, except where allocations of direct expense can otherwise
be fairly made. The officers of each trust, subject to the general
supervision of the Boards of Trustees, have the power to determine which
expenses are allocable to a given fund, or which are general or allocable
to all of the funds of a certain trust. In the event of the dissolution or
liquidation of a trust, shareholders of each fund of that trust are
entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund available
for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. Each trust is an entity of the type
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. Each 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 its Trustees shall include a provision limiting the obligations
created thereby to the trust and its assets. Each Declaration of Trust
provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder
held personally liable for the obligations of the fund. Each Declaration of
Trust also provides that its funds 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 the 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.
Each Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declarations of Trust protect
Trustee s against any liability to which they would otherwise
be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence,
or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their
office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder for Value Fund, you receive one vote for each
dollar value of net asset value you own. The shares have no preemptive
or conversion rights; the voting and dividend rights, the right of
redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the Prospectus.
Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the
heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability" above. Shareholders
representing 10% or more of a trust or fund may, as set forth in the
Declarations of Trust, call meetings of a trust or fund for any purpose
related to the trust or fund, as the case may be, including, in the case of
a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose of voting on removal of one or
more Trustees. Each trust or fund may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by vote of the
holders of a majority , the outstanding shares of (Trend Fund), the trust
or the fund, or as determined by the current value of each shareholders
investment in the fund or trust (Value Fund). If not so terminated,
each trust or fund will continue indefinitely. Each fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust may invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
CUSTODIANS. Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., 1211 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, New York, is custodian of the assets of Trend Fund. Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston, Massachusetts, is custodian of the
assets of Value Fund. The custodians are responsible for the safekeeping of
each respective fund's assets and the appointment of subcustodian banks and
clearing agencies. The custodians take no part in determining the
investment policies of the funds or in deciding which securities are
purchased or sold by the funds. The funds may, however, invest in
obligations of the custodians and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodians.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the trusts'
Trustees may from time to time have transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodian for certain of the funds advised by
FMR. The Boston branch of Value Fund's custodian leases its office space
from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into, was
consistent with prevailing market rates. 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. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. , One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts serves as each trust's independent accountant. The auditor
examines financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax,
and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
years ended October 31, 1994 (Value Fund), and December 31, 1994 (Trend
Fund), are included in each fund's Annual Report , which is a
separate report supplied with this Statement of Additional Information.
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights are incorporated
herein by reference.
APPENDIX
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective
elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most
unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than
in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
CAA - Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default
or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
CA - Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
short-comings.
C - Bonds rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and issues so rated
can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2, and 3, in each generic rating
classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its
generic rating category.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated
categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual
or implied BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is
not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC-debt rating. The C rating may be
used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed but
debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when
interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due even
if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating will also
be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.
The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Item 25. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust is the same as the boards
of other funds advised by FMR, each of which has Fidelity Management &
Research Company as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of
these funds are substantially identical. Nonetheless, the Registrant takes
the position that it is not under common control with these other funds
since the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as
the result of an official position with the respective funds.
Item 26. Number of Holders of Securities October 31, 1994
Title of Class: Shares of Beneficial Interest
Name of Series Number of Record Holders
Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund 203,287
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund 91,662

Fidelity Value Fund 262,026
Item 27. Indemnification
Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the
reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be
provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the
Registrant shall indemnify any present or past Trustee, or officer to the
fullest extent permitted by law against liability and all expenses
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any claim, action suit or
proceeding in which he is involved by virtue of his service as a trustee,
an officer, or both. Additionally, amounts paid or incurred in settlement
of such matters are covered by this indemnification. Indemnification will
not be provided in certain circumstances, however. These include instances
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, and reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of the particular office involved.

EXHIBIT 5(A)
FORM OF
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY CAPITAL TRUST:
FIDELITY VALUE FUND
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
Modification made this 1st day of November 1994, by and between Fidelity
Capital Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Fund"), on
behalf of Fidelity Value Fund (hereinafter called the "Portfolio"), and
Fidelity Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation
(hereinafter called the "Adviser").
Required authorization and approval by shareholders and Trustees having
been obtained, the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser hereby
consent, pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the of the existing Management Contract
modified December 29, 1989, to a modification of said Contract in the
manner set forth below. The Modified Management Contract shall when
executed by duly authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take
effect on the later of November 1, 1994 or the first day of the month
following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office
space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for
servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and
fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage
and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the other accounts
over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.
The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such
brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio
transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may
be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Basic Fee and a Performance
Adjustment. The Performance Adjustment is added to or subtracted from the
Basic Fee depending on whether the Portfolio experienced better or worse
performance than the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the
"Index"). The Performance Adjustment is not cumulative. An increased fee
will result even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period
of time shorter than the performance period has been behind that of the
Index, and, conversely, a reduction in the fee will be made for a month
even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period of time
shorter than the performance period has been ahead of that of the Index.
The Basic Fee and the Performance Adjustment will be computed as follows:
(a) Basic Fee Rate: The annual Basic Fee Rate shall be the sum of the
Group Fee Rate and the Individual Fund Fee Rate calculated to the nearest
millionth decimal place as follows:
(i) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined
on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:
Average Net Assets Annualized Fee Rate (for each level)
$ 0 - 3 billion .5200%
3 - 6 .4900%
6 - 9 .4600%
9 - 12 .4300%
12 - 15 .4000%
15 - 18 .3850%
18 - 21 .3700%
21 - 24 .3600%
24 - 30 .3500%
30 - 36 .3450%
36 - 42 .3400%
42 - 48 .3350%
48 - 66 .3250%
66 - 84 .3200%
84 - 102 .3150%
102 - 138 .3100%
138 - 174 .3050%
174 - 210 .3000%
210 - 246 .2950%
246 - 282 .2900%
282 - 318 .2850%
318 - 354 .2800%
354 - 390 .2750%
Over 390 .2700%
(ii) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be
.30%.
(b) Basic Fee. One-twelfth of the Basic Fee Rate shall be applied to the
average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set
forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document)
determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the
month. The resulting dollar amount comprises the Basic Fee.
(c) Performance Adjustment Rate: The Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02%
for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the Index
each being calculated to the nearest percentage point) that the Portfolio's
investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than
the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance
adjustment rate is 0.20%.
The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full
month following the Portfolio's commencement of operations. During the
first eleven months of the performance period for the Portfolio,there will
be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the
performance period the performance adjustment will take effect. Following
the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until
the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period
will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.
The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i)
the opening net asset value of one share of the Portfolio on the first
business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset
value of one share of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such
period. In computing the investment performance of the Portfolio and the
investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains,
the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed
realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and
dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio, and
all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be
treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable
rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to
time may be amended.
(d) Performance Adjustment. One-twelfth of the annual Performance
Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the
Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of
business on each business day throughout the month and the performance
period.
(e) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee for
that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number of
business days during which it is in effect for that month. The Basic Fee
Rate will be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged
over that month ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect. The amount of this Performance Adjustment to the Basic Fee will
be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged over the
36-month period ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect provided that if this Contract has been in effect less than 36
months, the computation will be made on the basis of the period of time
during which it has been in effect.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment
instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than
those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser; (iv) legal
and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and
qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under
state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio;
(viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's
shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata
share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered
investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts
with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other
coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi)
expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing
and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and
supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such
non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1995
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior
written notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of
any penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case
may be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.
8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,"
"assignment," and "interested persons," when used herein, shall have the
respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect or as
hereafter amended, and subject to such orders as may be granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have caused this instrument to be signed in
their behalf by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, and
their respective seals to be hereunto affixed, all as of the date written
above.

brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Basic Fee and a Performance
Adjustment. The Performance Adjustment is added to or subtracted from the
Basic Fee depending on whether the Portfolio experienced better or worse
performance than the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the
"Index"). The Performance Adjustment is not cumulative. An increased fee
will result even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period
of time shorter than the performance period has been behind that of the
Index, and, conversely, a reduction in the fee will be made for a month
even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period of time
shorter than the performance period has been ahead of that of the Index.
The Basic Fee and the Performance Adjustment will be computed as follows:
(a) Basic Fee Rate: The annual Basic Fee Rate shall be the sum of the
Group Fee Rate and the Individual Fund Fee Rate calculated to the nearest
millionth decimal place as follows:
(i) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined
on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:
Average Net Assets Annualized Fee Rate (for each level)
0 - $ 3 billion .5200%
3 - 6 .4900%
6 - 9 .4600%
9 - 12 .4300%
12 - 15 .4000%
15 - 18 .3850%
18 - 21 .3700%
21 - 24 .3600%
24 - 30 .3500%
30 - 36 .3450%
36 - 42 .3400%
42 - 48 .3350%
48 - 66 .3250%
66 - 84 .3200%
84 - 102 .3150%
102 - 138 .3100%
138 - 174 .3050%
174 - 210 .3000%
210 - 246 .2950%
246 - 282 .2900%
282 - 318 .2850%
318 - 354 .2800%
354 - 390 .2750%
Over 390 .2700%
(ii) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be
.30%.
(b) Basic Fee. One-twelfth of the Basic Fee Rate shall be applied to the
average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set
forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document)
determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the
month. The resulting dollar amount comprises the Basic Fee.
(c) Performance Adjustment Rate: The Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02%
for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the Index
each being calculated to the nearest percentage point that the Portfolio's
investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than
the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance
adjustment rate is 0.20%.
The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full
month following the Portfolio's commencement of operations. During the
first eleven months of the performance period for the Portfolio, there will
be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the
performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following
the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until
the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period
will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.
The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i)
the opening net asset value of one share of the Portfolio on the first
business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset
value of one share of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such
period. In computing the investment performance of the Portfolio and the
investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains,
the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed
realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and
dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio, and
all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be
treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable
rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to
time may be amended.
(d) Performance Adjustment. One-twelfth of the annual Performance
Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the
Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of
business on each business day throughout the month and the performance
period.
(e) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee for
that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number of
business days during which it is in effect for that month. The Basic Fee
Rate will be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged
over that month ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect. The amount of this Performance Adjustment to the Basic Fee will
be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged over the
36-month period ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect provided that if this Contract has been in effect less than 36
months, the computation will be made on the basis of the period of time
during which it has been in effect.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment
instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than
those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser; (iv) legal
and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and
qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under
state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio;
(viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's
shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata
share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered
investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts
with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other
coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi)
expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing
and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and
supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such
non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or other
investment instrument.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31,
1995. and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance
after such date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of
the Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may
be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.
8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,"
"assignment," and "interested persons," when used herein, shall have the
respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect or as
hereafter amended, and subject to such orders as may be granted by the

be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged over the
36-month period ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect provided that if this Contract has been in effect less than 36
months, the computation will be made on the basis of the period of time

underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage
and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the other accounts
over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.
The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such
brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio
transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may
be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Basic Fee and a Performance
Adjustment. The Performance Adjustment is added to or subtracted from the
Basic Fee depending on whether the Portfolio experienced better or worse
performance than the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the
"Index"). The Performance Adjustment is not cumulative. An increased fee
will result even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period
of time shorter than the performance period has been behind that of the
Index, and, conversely, a reduction in the fee will be made for a month
even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period of time
shorter than the performance period has been ahead of that of the Index.
The Basic Fee and the Performance Adjustment will be computed as follows:
(a) Basic Fee Rate: The annual Basic Fee Rate shall be the sum of the
Group Fee Rate and the Individual Fund Fee Rate calculated to the nearest
millionth decimal place as follows:
(i) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined
on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:
Average Net Assets Annualized Fee Rate (for each level)
$ 0 - 3 billion .5200%
3 - 6 .4900%
6 - 9 .4600%
9 - 12 .4300%
12 - 15 .4000%
15 - 18 .3850%
18 - 21 .3700%
21 - 24 .3600%
24 - 30 .3500%
30 - 36 .3450%
36 - 42 .3400%
42 - 48 .3350%
48 - 66 .3250%
66 - 84 .3200%
84 - 102 .3150%
102 - 138 .3100%
138 - 174 .3050%
174 - 210 .3000%
210 - 246 .2950%
246 - 282 .2900%
282 - 318 .2850%
318 - 354 .2800%
354 - 390 .2750%
Over 390 .2700%
(ii) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be
.30%.
(b) Basic Fee. One-twelfth of the Basic Fee Rate shall be applied to the
average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set
forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document)
determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the
month. The resulting dollar amount comprises the Basic Fee.
(c) Performance Adjustment Rate: The Performance Adjustment Rate is
0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the
Index each being calculated to the nearest percentage point) that the
Portfolio's investment performance for the performance period was better or
worse than the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum
performance adjustment rate is 0.20%.
The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full
month following the Portfolio's commencement of operations. During the
first eleven months of the performance period for the Portfolio, there will
be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the
performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following
the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until
the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period
will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.
The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i)
the opening net asset value of one share of the Portfolio on the first
business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset
value of one share of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such
period. In computing the investment performance of the Portfolio and the
investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains,
the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed
realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and
dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio, and
all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be
treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable
rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to
time may be amended.
(d) Performance Adjustment. One-twelfth of the annual Performance
Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the
Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document determined as of the close of
business on each business day throughout the month and the performance
period.
(e) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee for
that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number of
business days during which it is in effect for that month. The Basic Fee
Rate will be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged
over that month ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect. The amount of this Performance Adjustment to the Basic Fee will
be computed on the basis of and applied to net assets averaged over the
36-month period ending on the last business day on which this Contract is
in effect provided that if this Contract has been in effect less than 36
months, the computation will be made on the basis of the period of time
during which it has been in effect.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment
instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than
those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser; (iv) legal
and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and
qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under
state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio;
(viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's
shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata
share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered
investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts
with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other
coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi)
expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing
and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and
supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such
non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1995
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior
written notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of
any penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case
may be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.
8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,"
"assignment," and "interested persons," when used herein, shall have the
respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect or as
hereafter amended, and subject to such orders as may be granted by the

BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY CAPITAL TRUST ON BEHALF OF FIDELITY VALUE FUND
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of November, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with principal
offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts (hereinafter called
the Advisor); Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (hereinafter
called the Sub-Advisor); and Fidelity Capital Trust, a Massachusetts
business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial
interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Fidelity Value Fund
(hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor to
perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) Investment Advice: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may
include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only to
the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to provide
additional investment management services to the Portfolio, including but
not limited to services such as managing foreign currency investments,
purchasing and selling or writing futures and options contracts, borrowing
money or lending securities on behalf of the Portfolio. All investment
management and any other activities of the Sub-Advisor shall at all times
be subject to the control and direction of the Advisor and the Trust's
Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall place all
orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage
and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to the other
accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment
discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may
be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to accounts over
which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall
periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if
the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 110% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;

other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or

fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1995 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this instrument to be
signed in their behalf by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, and their respective seals to be hereunto affixed, all as of

the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall place all
orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage
and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to the other
accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment
discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may
be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to accounts over
which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall
periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if
the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 110% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31,1995 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

signed in their behalf by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, and their respective seals to be hereunto affixed, all as of

a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The

Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have

calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.

with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.

an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.

BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY CAPITAL TRUST ON BEHALF OF FIDELITY CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of November, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with principal
offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts (hereinafter called
the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (hereinafter
called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Capital Trust, a Massachusetts
business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial
interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Fidelity Capital
Appreciation Fund (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 110% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.

provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1995 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on

(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate

BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY CAPITAL TRUST ON BEHALF OF FIDELITY STOCK SECTOR
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of November, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with principal
offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts (hereinafter called
the"Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (hereinafter
called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Capital Trust, a Massachusetts
business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial
interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Fidelity Stock
Selector (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor to
perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) Investment Advice: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may
include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only to
the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to provide
additional investment management services to the Portfolio, including but
not limited to services such as managing foreign currency investments,
purchasing and selling or writing futures and options contracts, borrowing
money or lending securities on behalf of the Portfolio. All investment
management and any other activities of the Sub-Advisor shall at all times
be subject to the control and direction of the Advisor and the Trust's
Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall place all
orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular
transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage
and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to the other
accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment
discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may
be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to accounts over
which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall
periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if
the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 110% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor

registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for

of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;

membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio

services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.

paragraph9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1995 and
