DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY CAPITAL APPRECIATION 36.98% 135.33% 263.65%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 25.67% 217.79% 415.36%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.56% 144.10% 286.27%
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index
of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average
represents a peer group of 278 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that
group funds according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization,
as well as by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5
of the report.*
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY CAPITAL APPRECIATION 36.98% 18.67% 13.78%
S&P 500 25.67% 26.02% 17.82%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.56% 17.66% 12.91%
Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund on October 31, 1989. As
the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $36,365 - a 263.65% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500
Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $51,536 - a
415.36% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite some bumps in the road
along the way, the U.S. equity
market produced another period
of solid returns. For the 12 months
ending October 31, 1999, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average returned
26.84%. The Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a measure of
large-cap performance - returned
25.67% during the 12-month
period, while the Russell 2000
Index - a barometer of small-cap
stocks - mustered a return of
14.87%. Several factors played
roles in determining the market's
path, including Federal Reserve
Board monetary policy, shifting
investor sentiment and volatility in
certain pockets of the market. Early
in the period, the Fed tried to
stabilize the impact of shaky global
markets on the U.S. by lowering
interest rates. Investors applauded
the gesture as the Dow hit the
10,000 level for the first time in
late March. Late in the second
quarter, however, concerns over
an overheating U.S. economy and
global market recoveries triggered
inflation fears and washed away
some of the market's gains. In
June and again in August, the Fed
raised rates and the market sold
off throughout the third quarter as
investors anticipated additional
increases. The technology sector
had its shares of ups and downs
during the period. In the end,
though, tech stocks were the clear
market leaders as the NASDAQ
Index reeled off a healthy 67.98%
return.

An interview with Harry Lange, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Capital
Appreciation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRY?
A. The fund had a solid year. For the 12 months that ended October 31,
1999, the fund returned 36.98%. That topped the Standard & Poor's 500
Index, which returned 25.67% during the same period. The capital
appreciation funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc., returned
36.56%.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED THE FUND BEAT BOTH THE INDEX AND ITS PEER
GROUP?
A. A blend of timely strategies, good stock picking and some nice
developments internationally helped the most. My investing approach
alternated between defensive and aggressive during the period, and my
timing with each worked out well. I went aggressive during the first
few months of the period - when small- and mid-cap stocks were beaten
down - by adding to the fund's positions in inexpensive, high-growth
Internet and semiconductor stocks. This benefited the fund, as
Internet-related names such as America Online and semiconductor
holdings such as KLA-Tencor and Teradyne were positive contributors. I
then turned a bit more defensive at the beginning of 1999, as I
funnelled some of the fund's assets into energy services stocks. Oil
prices had tumbled to around $10 per barrel, and investor sentiment
was largely negative. I felt prices would snap back and added to the
fund's positions in stocks such as Halliburton and Noble Drilling.
Fortunately, oil prices rose significantly and the fund benefited.
Q. FOUR OF THE FUND'S TOP 20 POSITIONS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD WERE
JAPANESE STOCKS. CAN YOU DISCUSS THESE HOLDINGS?
A. Sure. Two of them are involved in the securities industry and two
are involved in venture capital projects. As the Japanese market began
to rebound (SEE CALLOUT BOX ON PAGE 8), Japanese brokerage houses
began to see pick-ups in business volume. Thus, the fund's positions
in Daiwa Securities and Nomura Securities panned out well. The other
two - Softbank and Jafco - are both active in the venture capital
arena and performed very well during the period.
Q. TOGETHER, THE FUND HAD JUST OVER 41% OF ITS ASSETS LOCKED INTO THE
TECHNOLOGY AND THE MEDIA AND LEISURE SECTORS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.
WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU FOLLOW?
A. In terms of technology, my initial attraction centered around
semiconductor stocks. During the second half of the period, however, I
began to emphasize companies involved in the personal computer
business, such as Dell. Despite signs that PC stocks could suffer from
Y2K concerns, I found the earnings and revenue growth outlook for the
group to be in good shape. Within the media and leisure group, the
fund's continued play on Spanish-language broadcasters provided a good
performance boost. The Hispanic population in the U.S. is growing
faster than the general population, and I felt several broadcasters -
namely the Hispanic Broadcasting Corp. and Univision - were in line to
see their advertising revenues increase. Viacom - the fund's largest
single position at the end of October - merged with CBS during the
period, and I'm optimistic that the two entities will thrive. Cable
television stock Comcast also fared well.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DIDN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS YOU HAD HOPED?
A. Two major disappointments were Waste Management and Stewart
Enterprises. These companies shared similar story lines, as both
encountered difficulties integrating acquired companies into their
existing frameworks. Waste Management - a leading trash collection
company - stumbled in the process of its merger with USA Waste, while
Stewart - a funeral services company - had trouble assimilating
several smaller businesses. The fund no longer owned stakes in these
companies at the end of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. While many people feel stocks are overvalued, I would argue that
accelerated earnings growth for many U.S. companies justifies some of
those prices. If this type of environment continues, I may look for
additional opportunities within the technology and telecommunications
areas. Specifically, I'd like to keep finding ways to play the growth
in cellular and data communications.

times a year and in the course of
talking with companies and
people there, I sensed a positive
attitude change. Japanese
companies are following in the
footsteps of their U.S.
counterparts as they pare back on
unprofitable businesses and look
to consolidate. And Japanese
investors are starting to buy
mutual funds for the first time.
Having companies such as Fidelity
selling mutual funds in Japan has
breathed new life into Japanese
brokers and restored confidence
among investors. Cable TV
network CNBC, in fact, is now
broadcasting around-the-clock
coverage of the Japanese markets.
"The Japanese government also
played a key role by allowing
for more of a free-enterprise
market system.
"At the close of the period, the
fund had approximately 11% of
its assets in Japanese stocks."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases
debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its
fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information
regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
currency contracts is determined using contractual currency exchange
rates established at the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,044,791,000 and $2,271,153,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds
advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period.
The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee is subject to a
performance adjustment (up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the
fund's average net assets over the performance period) based on the
fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index
over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annual rate of .43% of average net assets after
the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, is the general distributor of the fund. Prior to October 12,
1990, FDC received a deferred sales charge of up to 1%. Shares
purchased before October 12, 1990 are subject to a 1% deferred sales
charge upon redemption. For the period, FDC received deferred sales
charges of $255,000.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $210,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral.
5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED
At period end, the value of the securities loaned amounted to
$29,064,000. The fund received cash collateral of $30,030,000 which
was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $491,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $3,000 and $44,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund (a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust)
at October 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to
as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity
Capital Appreciation Fund's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY DISCIPLINED EQUITY 27.69% 166.86% 403.56%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 25.67% 217.79% 415.36%
Growth Funds Average 29.14% 164.44% 330.83%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index
of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer
group of 1,099 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY DISCIPLINED EQUITY 27.69% 21.69% 17.55%
S&P 500 25.67% 26.02% 17.82%
Growth Funds Average 29.14% 20.94% 15.30%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund on October 31, 1989. As
the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $50,356 - a 403.56% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500
Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $51,536 - a
415.36% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite some bumps in the road
along the way, the U.S. equity
market produced another period
of solid returns. For the 12 months
ending October 31, 1999, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average returned
26.84%. The Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a measure of
large-cap performance - returned
25.67% during the 12-month
period, while the Russell 2000
Index - a barometer of small-cap
stocks - mustered a return of
14.87%. Several factors played
roles in determining the market's
path, including Federal Reserve
Board monetary policy, shifting
investor sentiment and volatility in
certain pockets of the market. Early
in the period, the Fed tried to
stabilize the impact of shaky global
markets on the U.S. by lowering
interest rates. Investors applauded
the gesture as the Dow hit the
10,000 level for the first time in
late March. Late in the second
quarter, however, concerns over
an overheating U.S. economy and
global market recoveries triggered
inflation fears and washed away
some of the market's gains. In
June and again in August, the Fed
raised rates and the market sold
off throughout the third quarter as
investors anticipated additional
increases. The technology sector
had its shares of ups and downs
during the period. In the end,
though, tech stocks were the clear
market leaders as the NASDAQ
Index reeled off a healthy 67.98%
return.

An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Disciplined Equity Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BRAD?
A. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 1999, the fund returned
27.69%. During the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 25.67% and the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
returned 29.14%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE S&P 500, BUT LAG THE LIPPER PEER
GROUP DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Decent stock selection and an emphasis on larger-capitalization
stocks with superior earnings power helped the fund to outpace the S&P
500 index. However, the fund slightly trailed the Lipper growth funds
average because of that group's much heavier weighting in technology
stocks, which performed very well for most of the year.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS PERFORMED WELL?
A. General Electric was a major contributor as the company continued
to enjoy accelerating revenue growth and increasing profit margins. GE
also was able to contain the growth of its outstanding shares, which
helped its stock price during the period. Another winner was
Microsoft, whose financial numbers continued to dazzle Wall Street.
For its first quarter ended in September, Microsoft reported revenue
growth of more than 28%, its pretax margins inched up to a record
61.6%, and the company had more than $18 billion in cash on its
balance sheet with no debt. Also contributing to performance was
Lexmark International, a manufacturer of desktop printers. The company
reported outstanding earnings growth during the period and its stock
benefited from rising earnings estimates. In addition, Wal-Mart had
another great year with sales growth of more than 15% and earnings
growth of more than 22%. Lucent Technologies also easily outperformed
the market - thanks to accelerating revenue and earnings growth.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Despite rising revenues and earnings over the past three quarters,
Philip Morris' stock price was buried by a tidal wave of negative
market sentiment. The company's respectable financials drowned amidst
continued tobacco litigation. Another detractor was Schering-Plough.
The company delivered strong revenue and earnings growth, but was
dragged down by a renewed attack on the profit margins of
pharmaceutical companies. The biggest culprit was a proposal for
Medicare to embrace drug distribution for the elderly, which would
quickly create price ceilings on many drugs. Finally, H.J. Heinz
performed poorly because of flat earnings growth and a sizable
write-off in its April quarter. The fund sold its position in Heinz by
the end of the period.
Q. WHY DID TECHNOLOGY STOCKS DO SO WELL?
A. Technology stocks enjoyed better-than-average earnings growth as we
witnessed a recovery in Asia after that market's collapse in 1998. In
addition, nearly any technology company that could be remotely tied to
the Internet saw its stock price appreciate.
Q. IN THE REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS SIX MONTHS AGO, YOU DISCUSSED THE
HIGH VALUATION OF INTERNET STOCKS. HAVE YOUR VIEWS ON THIS GROUP
CHANGED?
A. Internet stocks were exceptionally volatile during the period. As a
group, they modestly underperformed the S&P 500 since I discussed them
in the shareholder report six months ago. The fund has accumulated
several Internet stocks that I believe have respectable financials,
but I continue to be amazed at the staggering quarterly bottom-line
losses posted by most companies in this sector. I continue to believe
that the market will eventually lose patience with the decelerating
sales growth and virtually non-existent cash flow of many of these
companies.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND REDUCE ITS FINANCIAL AND HEALTH CARE HOLDINGS?
A. Both of these sectors had a tough year and their weightings fell in
the fund, as well as in the S&P 500. Interest rates on Treasury bills
and 30-year bonds rose substantially this fiscal year - an unfavorable
trend for most financial stocks. Meanwhile, health care stocks
suffered because of an assault on health maintenance organizations
(HMOs) and the aforementioned troubles of the pharmaceutical
companies.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. My econometric models are moderately positive on the market. The
rise in interest rates is decelerating, the broad market is still well
below its highs, insiders are buying and I believe there are many
opportunities among medium-sized companies with favorable
price-to-earnings ratios and growth rates. On top of that, we are
entering the strongest months of both the annual seasonal cycle and
the four-year election cycle.

BRAD LEWIS ON MANAGING A
PORTFOLIO AGAINST ITS INDEX:
"Since the performance of this
fund is measured against the S&P
500, it is extremely critical for me
to keep track of the evolving
characteristics of that index.
Generally speaking, a fund
manager needs to pay particular
attention to the market
capitalization of his or her
portfolio versus its benchmark
index. Over the past few years,
funds being compared to the S&P
500 that lacked positions in the
biggest 50 names in the index
were destined to take a 10-count
in the third round due to the
dominance of mega-cap stocks.
Unfortunately, many of these
mega-cap names are not exactly
cheap. Therefore, when deciding
which stocks to buy, the portfolio
manager needs to reconcile the
trade-off between the percent of
the fund allocated to mega-cap
stocks and individual stock
valuations.
"Industry weighting consideration
is also critical. A portfolio with no
current holdings in technology is
making an enormous index bet
given that technology currently
represents about 23% of the S&P
500. Imagine this possible scenario:
technology stocks continue their
run and return 50% over the next
year versus a flat return for the
remaining industries. A portfolio
void of technology names would
be 10 percentage points behind
the market strictly due to this one
negative industry bet. That is a
huge deficit to overcome with
stock selection. For that reason,
portfolio sector weightings should
not stray too far from those of the
benchmark."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The
schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes
under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends,
and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings
and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a
part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income. Income distributions from the Cash Fund
are declared daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income
distributions earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in
the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $3,433,219,000 and $3,657,731,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
management fee. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment
(up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets
over the performance period) based on the fund's investment
performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified
period of time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to
an annual rate of .42% of average net assets after the performance
adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $223,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $724,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's transfer agent,
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to
reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
transfer agent fees were reduced by $59,000 under this arrangement.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund (a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust) at
October 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to
as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity
Disciplined Equity Fund's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

DISTRIBUTIONS
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund voted to pay
on December 6, 1999, to shareholders of record at the opening of
business on December 3, 1999, a distribution of $4.90 per share
derived from capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities
and a dividend of $.27 per share from net investment income.
A total of 100% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.
The fund hereby designates 100% of the long-term capital gain
dividends distributed during the fiscal year as 20%-rate capital gain
dividends.
The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY STOCK SELECTOR 29.15% 158.05% 473.08%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 25.67% 217.79% 454.70%
Growth Funds Average 29.14% 164.44% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or since
the fund started on September 28, 1990. For example, if you had
invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the
value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Index(registered trademark) - a market capitalization-weighted index
of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer
group of 1,159 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY STOCK SELECTOR 29.15% 20.88% 21.19%
S&P 500 25.67% 26.02% 20.76%
Growth Funds Average 29.14% 20.94% n/a
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Stock Selector on September 28, 1990, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of
the investment would have grown to $57,308 - a 473.08% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $55,470 - a
454.70% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite some bumps in the road
along the way, the U.S. equity
market produced another period
of solid returns. For the 12 months
ending October 31, 1999, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average returned
26.84%. The Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a measure of
large-cap performance - returned
25.67% during the 12-month
period, while the Russell 2000
Index - a barometer of small-cap
stocks - mustered a return of
14.87%. Several factors played
roles in determining the market's
path, including Federal Reserve
Board monetary policy, shifting
investor sentiment and volatility in
certain pockets of the market. Early
in the period, the Fed tried to
stabilize the impact of shaky global
markets on the U.S. by lowering
interest rates. Investors applauded
the gesture as the Dow hit the
10,000 level for the first time in
late March. Late in the second
quarter, however, concerns over
an overheating U.S. economy and
global market recoveries triggered
inflation fears and washed away
some of the market's gains. In
June and again in August, the Fed
raised rates and the market sold
off throughout the third quarter as
investors anticipated additional
increases. The technology sector
had its shares of ups and downs
during the period. In the end,
though, tech stocks were the clear
market leaders as the NASDAQ
Index reeled off a healthy 67.98%
return.

An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Stock
Selector Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BRAD?
A. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 1999, the fund returned
29.15%. During the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 25.67% and the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
returned 29.14%.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE BENCHMARK AND KEEP PACE WITH
ITS PEER GROUP DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Decent stock selection and an emphasis on larger-capitalization
stocks with superior earnings power helped the fund to generate strong
returns over the past year.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Apple Computer made the biggest contribution to the fund with a
return of 112%. It really helped that Apple was one of the fund's
top-five holdings. The company enjoyed rising earnings estimates
during the period and investors seemed enthused by its new product
announcements. Best Buy, another top-five holding in the fund, was
also a big winner. This electronics retailer enjoyed accelerating
revenue and earnings growth, along with rising earnings estimates. In
addition, Microsoft's financial numbers continued to dazzle Wall
Street. For its first fiscal quarter ended in September, the company's
revenue growth remained above 28%, its pretax margins inched up to a
record 61.6% and the company had more than $18 billion of cash on the
balance sheet with no debt.
Q. THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, ALONG WITH ITS RETAIL AND WHOLESALE
STOCKS, SEEMED TO PROVIDE A WINNING COMBINATION. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY?
A. Stock selection in the retail and technology sectors accounted for
a great deal of the fund's excellent performance. The fund's retail
stocks were up more than 50%, versus only 28.6% for the S&P 500's
retail stocks. Also, an overweighted position in the retail sector
versus the S&P 500 helped the fund to outpace that benchmark during
the period. On top of that, the fund's technology stocks returned
about 82%, versus 65.7% for the technology stocks in the S&P 500.
Regrettably, the fund was modestly underweighted in technology stocks
relative to the S&P 500 during the year. It is also worth noting that
the virtual absence of nondurables in the fund helped performance
during the period. Nondurables represented about 8% of the S&P 500,
but were down over 5% during the past year. This sector accounted for
only 0.7% of the fund at the end of the period, and these holdings
were off only 2.4% during the past year.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. One of the fund's underperformers was Schering-Plough. The company
delivered strong revenue and earnings growth, but was dragged down by
a renewed attack on the profit margins of pharmaceutical companies.
The biggest culprit was a proposal for Medicare to embrace drug
distribution for the elderly, which would quickly create price
ceilings on many drugs. Another stock that was hurt from guilt by
association was Freddie Mac. The company posted excellent revenue and
earnings growth over the past 12 months, while positioning itself to
be relatively immune to fluctuating interest rates. However, Freddie
Mac's stock was beaten up with most of the other financial stocks in
this environment of rising interest rates. Finally, Maytag modestly
hurt the fund's performance. The company suffered from slowing sales
and earnings growth over the past year, which caused Wall Street
analysts to slash the company's earnings-per-share estimates for next
year. The fund sold its positions in Schering-Plough and Maytag by the
end of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, BRAD?
A. My econometric models - which form the basis of my stock-picking
strategy - are moderately positive on the market. The rise in interest
rates is decelerating, the broad market is still well below its highs,
insiders are buying and I believe there are many opportunities among
medium-sized companies with favorable price-to-earnings ratios and
growth rates. On top of that, we are entering the strongest months of
both the annual seasonal cycle and the four-year election cycle.

BRAD LEWIS ON MANAGING A
PORTFOLIO AGAINST ITS INDEX:
"Since the performance of this
fund is measured against the S&P
500, it is extremely critical for me
to keep track of the evolving
characteristics of that index.
Generally speaking, a fund
manager needs to pay particular
attention to the market
capitalization of his or her portfolio
versus its benchmark index. Over
the past few years, funds being
compared to the S&P 500 that
lacked positions in the biggest 50
names in the index were destined to
take a 10-count in the third round
due to the dominance of mega-cap
stocks. Unfortunately, many of these
mega-cap names are not exactly
cheap. Therefore, when deciding
which stocks to buy, the portfolio
manager needs to reconcile the
trade-off between the percent of the
fund allocated to mega-cap stocks
and individual stock valuations.
"Industry weighting consideration
is also critical. A portfolio with no
current holdings in technology is
making an enormous index bet
given that technology currently
represents about 23% of the S&P 500.
Imagine this possible scenario:
Technology stocks continue their
run and return 50% over the next
year versus a flat return for the
remaining industries. A portfolio
void of technology names would be
10 percentage points behind the
market strictly due to this one
negative industry bet. That is a huge
deficit to overcome with stock
selection."

The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at
the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its
fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information
regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends,
and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings
and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a
part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,699,708,000 and $2,040,563,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .38% of average net
assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $125,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $12,019,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$12,000,000 which was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $442,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $1,000 and $20,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Stock Selector:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Stock Selector (a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust) at October
31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to
as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity
Stock Selector's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at October 31, 1999 by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on June 28, 1993. For example, if you
had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year,
the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the
fund's returns to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of 2,000 small company stocks. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the small cap funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 803 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has
created new comparison categories that group funds according to
portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by
capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

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

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Small Cap Selector on June 28, 1993 when the fund
started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $17,991 - a 79.91% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell 2000 Index
did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown $20,269 - a 102.69%
increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

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

An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Small
Cap Selector
Q. THE FUND CHANGED ITS FISCAL YEAR END FROM APRIL 30 TO OCTOBER 31.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, BRAD?
A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1999, the fund returned
3.48%, versus -0.25% for the Russell 2000 and 7.91% for the small cap
funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE RUSSELL 2000, BUT UNDERPERFORM THE
LIPPER PEER GROUP DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund outperformed the Russell 2000 over the past six months
mainly because technology stocks in the fund were up more than 56%
during the period. Regrettably, however, the fund's technology
weighting was slightly less than that of the Russell 2000 and was well
below that of the Lipper peer group. Technology stocks in the Russell
2000 rose about 25%, while virtually every other industry group in the
index was down during the period. The dispersions of industry returns
within the small-cap sector were enormous and quite unusual.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. VISX was a huge winner. This manufacturer and marketer of lasers
for eye surgery enjoyed revenue and earnings growth of more than 100%
over the past few quarters. Another contributor was Calpine, an energy
company that was fueled by a string of electric power supply
acquisitions. Calpine's sales rose about 248% in the third quarter.
Also doing well last quarter was CTS Corporation, a supplier of
electronic components. The company doubled its revenues during the
period and its stock price reacted accordingly.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. WestPoint Stevens was a loser for the fund, and dramatically
displayed the impact that an industry group can have on an individual
stock. WestPoint reported decent earnings growth during the period,
but was doomed by being a textile stock. The textile group has been
melting down this year. Maybe the lesson here is that an Annapolis
grad like me should never buy a company called WestPoint! Wet Seal
also hurt performance as its clothing line for teenagers fell
precipitously out of favor in the second quarter. Finally, Labor Ready
was hammered by estimate cuts and a reduction in earnings-per-share
growth. This provider of temporary workers faced a big squeeze on its
profit margins.
Q. AT JUST UNDER 28%, TECHNOLOGY STOCKS CONTINUED TO REPRESENT A LARGE
PART OF THE FUND. WHY?
A. I wish I could bronze the fund's technology stocks after witnessing
their excellent performance over the past six months. After the fund
suffered due to an underweighted position in Internet stocks during
the prior period, I bought a smattering of fundamentally attractive
but expensive Internet stocks. Fortunately these investments, such as
Go2Net, Inc., enjoyed even more share-price appreciation over the
period. By the end of October, the fund held a significant position in
technology stocks because technology has been one of the few small-cap
sectors that experienced significant earnings-per-share growth over
the past few quarters.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND'S MEDIA AND LEISURE HOLDINGS PERFORM?
A. The fund did well due to strong stock selection within this sector.
The fund's media and leisure stocks rose 5.7% versus a loss of 1.7%
for similar stocks in the Russell 2000. One of the biggest
contributors in this sector was CEC Entertainment, which owns the
Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant franchise. The company reported solid
revenue and earnings growth due to successful renovations to existing
restaurants, new restaurant openings and the bankruptcy of its only
real competitor, Discovery Zone.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. My econometric models - which form the basis of my stock picking
strategy - are moderately positive on the overall market. The rise in
interest rates is decelerating, the broad market is still well below
its highs, and I believe there are many opportunities among
small-sized companies with favorable price-to-earnings ratios and
growth rates. On top of that, we are entering the strongest months of
both the annual seasonal cycle and the four-year election cycle.

BRAD LEWIS ON MANAGING A
PORTFOLIO AGAINST ITS INDEX:
"Since the performance of this fund
is measured against the Russell 2000,
it is extremely critical for me to
keep track of the evolving
characteristics of that index.
Generally speaking, a fund manager
needs to pay particular attention to
the market capitalization of his or
her portfolio versus its benchmark
index. For example, over the past few
years, funds being compared to the
S&P 500 that lacked positions in the
biggest 50 names in the index were
destined to take a 10-count in the
third round due to the dominance of
mega-cap stocks. Unfortunately,
many of these mega-cap names are
not exactly cheap. Therefore, when
deciding which stocks to buy, the
portfolio manager needs to reconcile
the trade-off between the percent of
the fund allocated to mega-cap
stocks and individual stock valuations.
"Industry weighting consideration
is also critical. A portfolio with no
current holdings in technology is
making an enormous index bet given
that technology currently represents
about 23% of the Russell 2000.
Imagine this possible scenario:
Technology stocks continue their
run and return 50% over the next
year versus a flat return for the
remaining industries. A portfolio
void of technology names would be
10 percentage points behind the
market strictly due to this one
negative industry bet. That is a huge
deficit to overcome with stock
selection."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Small Cap Selector (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Capital
Trust (the trust) (formerly a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth trust) and
is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require
management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of
the financial statements. On September 17, 1998, the Board of Trustees
approved, and on July 14, 1999 the shareholders approved, a change in
the fiscal year-end of the fund to October 31, 1999. Accordingly, the
financial statements of the fund are presented for the six-month
period ended. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain
or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, non-taxable
dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash
sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $465,454,797 and $475,762,406, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily
implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower
management fee. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment
(up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets
over the performance period) based on the fund's investment
performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified
period of time. For the periods ended, October 31, 1999 and April 30,
1999, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .42%
and an annual rate of .53%, respectively, of average net assets after
the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the periods ended, October 31, 1999 and
April 30, 1999, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an
annualized rate of .33% and an annual rate of .29%, respectively, of
average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $25,117 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $7,881,886. The fund received cash collateral of
$8,125,007 which was invested in Central Cash Collateral Fund.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the periods ended, October 31,
1999 and April 30, 1999, the fund's expenses were reduced by $89,515
and $222,737, respectively, under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the periods ended, October 31, 1999 and April 30, 1999, the fund's
custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $2,550 and $12,131,
and $4,405 and $31,678, respectively, under these arrangements.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity
Small Cap Selector (formerly a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments of Fidelity Small Cap Selector
as of October 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the six months
ended October 31, 1999 and for the year ended April 30, 1999. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended
April 30, 1998, and the financial highlights for each of the years in
the four-year period ended April 30, 1998 were audited by other
auditors whose report, dated June 5, 1998, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of the securities owned at October 31, 1999, by
correspondence
with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from
brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Small Cap Selector at October 31, 1999, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 29.80% 64.55%
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 25.91% 59.62%
(INCL. 3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 25.67% 95.63%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.56% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund
started on November 12, 1996. For example, if you had invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how the
fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The
past one year average represents a peer group of 278 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only.
These averages are listed on page 5 of this report.*
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

(INCL. 3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 25.67% 25.38%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.56% n/a
Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity TechnoQuant Growth Fund on November 12, 1996,
when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As
the chart shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $15,962 - a 59.62% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500
Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $19,563 - a
95.63% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

RETURNS FOR THE MULTI-CAP SUPERGROUP IS 24.64%.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite some bumps in the road
along the way, the U.S. equity
market produced another period
of solid returns. For the 12 months
ending October 31, 1999, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average returned
26.84%. The Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a measure of
large-cap performance - returned
25.67% during the 12-month
period, while the Russell 2000
Index - a barometer of small-cap
stocks - mustered a return of
14.87%. Several factors played
roles in determining the market's
path, including Federal Reserve
Board monetary policy, shifting
investor sentiment and volatility in
certain pockets of the market. Early
in the period, the Fed tried to
stabilize the impact of shaky global
markets on the U.S. by lowering
interest rates. Investors applauded
the gesture as the Dow hit the
10,000 level for the first time in
late March. Late in the second
quarter, however, concerns over
an overheating U.S. economy and
global market recoveries triggered
inflation fears and washed away
some of the market's gains. In
June and again in August, the Fed
raised rates and the market sold
off throughout the third quarter as
investors anticipated additional
increases. The technology sector
had its shares of ups and downs
during the period. In the end,
though, tech stocks were the clear
market leaders as the NASDAQ
Index reeled off a healthy 67.98%
return.

An interview with Tim Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 1999, the fund returned
29.80%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 25.67%. The
capital appreciation funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc.,
returned 36.56% for the same time period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE S&P 500 YET TRAIL ITS PEER GROUP
DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 primarily because of the
portfolio's higher exposure to large, momentum-driven market sectors
such as technology and Internet services. Conversely, the fund lagged
its peer group because a relatively smaller proportion of the
portfolio's assets were invested in the same technology and Internet
sectors. In other words, my quantitative models suggested a portfolio
that was more concentrated than the broad market. At the same time,
they suggested a more diversified portfolio than the peer group, in
which many funds maintained or increased their large-cap growth bias
during the period.
Q. WHAT DROVE YOUR QUANTITATIVE MODELS OVER THE PAST YEAR?
A. The most important factor was market breadth - the number of stocks
and industries participating in the market's advance. Over the past 12
months, breadth took a roller-coaster ride, with as few as 30% and as
many as 64% of the stocks in the S&P fueling the market's rise. Early
in the period, only a few sectors - and only the largest stocks within
those sectors - were participating in the market's gain. At that time,
I added more technical measures - including market activity and
company size - to my models in order to reduce the risks associated
with being underrepresented in industry sectors experiencing positive
momentum. Over the course of the next several months, my models
increasingly gave more weight to these new factors. Although the fund
remained well-diversified, with over 150 stocks at the end of October,
my models allocated more assets to larger stocks within industries
experiencing strong momentum, such as technology.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS BENEFITED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The biggest contributors to performance reflected the fund's
strategic shift towards a higher concentration in market-leading
sectors. Five of the top-10 performers, for instance, were large-cap
technology stocks. America Online, Texas Instruments, EMC Corp., Intel
and Teradyne all performed well on the basis of attractive technical
characteristics - including money inflows and trading volume - as well
as strong market momentum and fundamentally attractive business
prospects. The fund sold its position in EMC before the period ended.
Biotechnology stocks such as Amgen and Biogen also generated strong
returns. The biotech sector was attractive for a variety of reasons.
Companies were relatively unaffected by changing interest rates, and
most were not subjected to significant political or legal pressures.
Also, the models' technical analysis suggested that the biotechnology
group was beginning to break out of its four-year slump.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Fortunately, there weren't any large disappointments. However,
during the spring, my models began predicting a more difficult
environment for large, high price-to-earnings stocks, mostly in
response to increasing manufacturing activity and potentially higher
interest rates and inflation. The models suggested boosting the
portfolio's allocation of defensive stocks that could stabilize the
fund's returns in a weak, late-cycle market environment. Many of these
stocks - including Philip Morris, Clorox and Heinz - failed to live up
to the potential my models suggested over the short term.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I expect volatility to continue on two fronts - price and market
breadth. We appear to be in a late-cycle market environment similar to
those seen in 1994 and 1987. The question is whether the current
environment will unfold like 1994 - with flat returns and significant
volatility - or like 1987 - with a sharp correction. In either case, I
believe an investor's best protection is to remain fully invested and
to remain diversified.

TIM KROCHUK ON MARKET
UNCERTAINTY AND THE
YEAR 2000:
"The market environment of the past
18 months has convinced me that
volatility may be here to stay.
Between the Asian economic crisis
and recovery, a strong U.S.
economy, and Federal Reserve
Board posturing, investors have
become conditioned to the
uncertainty of market highs one
week followed by a sell-off the next.
As we look ahead, Year 2000 - or
Y2K - issues further complicate
the investment environment.
Uncertainty exists over how Y2K
may affect the markets over the next
several months.
"In uncertain environments,
investors are often advised to follow
long-term market trends. Over the
past 10 years, the S&P 500 was up
in 69% of the months, and in 58%
of the weeks. By keeping assets in
the stock market, investors
reduce the risk of picking the
`wrong' month or week to be
uninvested. Although market
volatility may be high, it's important
to stick with an investment plan
while this perceived risk factor
plays itself out. By remaining
invested with an appropriately
diversified portfolio, investors may
moderate the dangers and
participate in the opportunities
created by uncertainty
surrounding Y2K."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity TechnoQuant Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Capital Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases
debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its
fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information
regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts
is determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $61,287,265 and $73,547,408, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum
of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the
performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as
compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of
.33% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $20,638 on sales of shares of the fund all of which
was retained.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .33% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $4,833 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $145,304. The fund received cash collateral of
$143,079 which was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $12,278 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian fees were reduced by $587 under this arrangement.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity TechnoQuant Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity TechnoQuant Growth Fund (a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust) at
October 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to
as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity
TechnoQuant Growth Fund's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
All major U.S. equity market indexes posted positive returns for the
month of October, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Index, which
climbed to a record high close during the month. Domestic bonds,
however, turned in relatively flat performance, due in large part to
lingering fears of a potential interest rate hike by the Federal
Reserve Board, and its adoption of a tightening bias during the first
week of the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY VALUE 9.24% 82.76% 243.25%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 25.67% 217.79% 415.36%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.56% 144.10% 286.27%
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index
of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average
represents a peer group of 278 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that
group funds according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization,
as well as by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5
of this report.*

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

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Value Fund on October 31, 1989. As the chart
shows, by October 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $34,325 - a 243.25% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $51,536 - a 415.36% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite some bumps in the road
along the way, the U.S. equity
market produced another period
of solid returns. For the 12 months
ending October 31, 1999, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average returned
26.84%. The Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a measure of
large-cap performance - returned
25.67% during the 12-month
period, while the Russell 2000
Index - a barometer of small-cap
stocks - mustered a return of
14.87%. Several factors played
roles in determining the market's
path, including Federal Reserve
Board monetary policy, shifting
investor sentiment and volatility in
certain pockets of the market. Early
in the period, the Fed tried to
stabilize the impact of shaky global
markets on the U.S. by lowering
interest rates. Investors applauded
the gesture as the Dow hit the
10,000 level for the first time in
late March. Late in the second
quarter, however, concerns over
an overheating U.S. economy and
global market recoveries triggered
inflation fears and washed away
some of the market's gains. In
June and again in August, the Fed
raised rates and the market sold
off throughout the third quarter as
investors anticipated additional
increases. The technology sector
had its shares of ups and downs
during the period. In the end,
though, tech stocks were the clear
market leaders as the NASDAQ
Index reeled off a healthy 67.98%
return.

An interview with Rich Fentin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Value
Fund
Q. RICH, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE YEAR THAT ENDED OCTOBER 31,
1999?
A. For the period, Fidelity Value Fund had a total return of 9.24%.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 25.67%, and the capital
appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 36.56%
during the same 12 months.
Q. WHAT WERE THE MAIN FACTORS THAT DROVE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. It's important to point out that there is a significant difference
between the stocks that make up both the S&P 500 and Lipper's capital
appreciation funds average on the one hand, and value stocks on the
other. These days, it's hard to find many value stocks in the S&P 500
or in the Lipper group. That being said, value stocks had an
up-and-down year. For the most part, the market continued to favor the
high-growth stocks in the S&P 500, especially the high-valuation
technology stocks that now make up about 23% of that index. The one
exception was the second quarter of 1999, when value stocks inherited
market leadership. An improved global economic backdrop caused
investors to become more attracted to the economically sensitive
companies that made up a large part of the value-stock universe. That
trend reversed in the third quarter, due to higher interest rates,
increases in raw material prices and rekindled investor interest in
high-growth technology companies that were able to justify their
expanding valuations by consistently beating earnings estimates.
Interestingly, company fundamentals underlying value stocks actually
improved over the past few months, although their share prices
generally did not.
Q. WHERE DID YOU FIND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES?
A. I continued to favor economically sensitive, or cyclical, stocks.
Even though central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve,
increased interest rates, the global economy was still responding to
interest-rate cuts implemented around the world last year. Industrial
production picked up, indicating improving prospects for commodity
companies and those firms that serve them. I invested in commodities
companies that would benefit from improvements in pricing. In
addition, I was attracted to suppliers to commodity companies - such
as specialty chemicals companies - whose prospects typically improve
in response to increased sales volumes. Beyond that, I didn't play any
other themes of note. The rest of the fund is made up of stocks I've
chosen one at a time because they were cheap, with some offering other
positive attributes for improvement, such as a new management team, a
new product or consolidation within their industry.
Q. WHICH STOCKS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Nalco Chemical was the best performer for the fund during the
period, although this specialty chemical company should soon leave the
portfolio because it was acquired. Another acquisition target,
Browning-Ferris Industries, helped performance as it was snatched up
by Allied Waste. Micron Technology and Alcoa performed well due to
price increases in memory chips and aluminum, respectively. Retail
stocks The Limited and Intimate Brands were linked as positive
performers. Intimate Brands finally was recognized by investors
following continued solid performance, and The Limited was helped
because the company owns a significant stake in Intimate Brands.
American Standard - a diversified manufacturer best known for its
plumbing and air conditioning products - rose based on improved
financial results. Browning-Ferris Industries, Micron Technology and
Intimate Brands were no longer in the fund at the end of the period.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. On the downside, Waste Management tumbled due to concerns related
to an accounting issue. R.R. Donnelley continued to post solid
financial performance, but investors were concerned about this
printer's ability to withstand competition from the Internet. Finally,
Dole Foods encountered a number of difficulties related to both supply
and demand, and its stock suffered.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. It looks as if the global economic recovery is picking up steam.
The overall stock marketplace is expensive, with record valuations
driven by technology stocks. At the same time, the market has severely
punished companies that haven't met expectations. As a result, the
universe of value stocks has expanded. We can't tell when the market
might rotate again to value stocks as it did in the second quarter.
Regardless, I'll keep the fund poised to benefit when it does.
Historically, value investing has proven to be a solid long-term
strategy.

RICH FENTIN ON VALUE STOCKS:
"Although we haven't seen optimum
conditions for value stocks for some
time, there is no telling when the
market will shift its focus to value
stocks for an extended period of
time. In the stock market of the late
1960s to the early 1980s, value
investing was a highly successful
strategy, as value-oriented stock
pickers were able to post reasonable
gains in an otherwise flat stock
market. Value stocks also tend to
become market leaders when we
are emerging from some kind of
economic or market trough.
Typically, that's because the stocks
are cheap, already at their lows at a
time when other stocks are
trending downward. It doesn't take
a lot of volume to move their prices
upward, and company
fundamentals improve quickly as
the economy starts to
re-accelerate.
"This is a backdrop we haven't seen
for some time, except for short
periods such as the second
quarter of 1999. At that time, the
rebound in global economic growth
helped spur value stocks to a
significant rally. Otherwise, growth
stocks have dominated the market in
the 1990s, driven by the
unprecedented expansion of the U.S.
economy. Nevertheless, there have
been some modest, temporary
slowdowns within certain segments
of the market. For example, in 1998,
oil and industrial production hit a lull.
In 1999, consumer industries have
lagged, while industrial production
has recovered dramatically from the
recession caused by global
economic slowdowns in 1997 and
1998."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Value Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust
(the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases
debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes
under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of
foreign currency contracts is determined using contractual currency
exchange rates established at the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc. , an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,466,206,000 and $4,075,886,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds
advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period.
The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee is subject to a
performance adjustment (up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the
fund's average net assets over the performance period) based on the
fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index
over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annual rate of .32% of average net assets after
the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .21% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $572,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $15,109,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$15,690,000 which was invested in the Central Cash Collateral Fund.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $1,103,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced
by $4,000 and $109,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Value Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Value Fund (a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust) at October 31,
1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Value
Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
