DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
New indicators of accelerating inflation led to a sharp downturn in
equity markets, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P
500(registered trademark) each suffered its worst single-session point
decline in history on April 14. Volatility ruled the remainder of the
month, with equity markets experiencing both strong rallies and broad
sell-offs. Inflation-sensitive Treasuries experienced similar
volatility, as prices for the bellwether 10-year note edged lower
throughout 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.

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).

Average
</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 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 500SM 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 six months average represents a peer group of 303 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 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 April 30, 1990. As
the chart shows, by April 30, 2000, the value of the investment would
have grown to $45,778 - a 357.78% 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 $55,905 - a 459.05% 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 prolonged period of market
consistency that fostered seemingly
fixed expectations of rising
technology stocks reversed course
with a sudden change in investor
sentiment during the latter part of the
six-month period that ended April
30, 2000. To wit: After rising to a high
of 5048 on March 10, the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index - the
benchmark for new economy stocks
that outperformed most other
domestic equity indexes in 1999 -
experienced a pullback in April.
Shortly after experiencing a
10% -20% correction in March, the
NASDAQ sank a full 25% during a
single week in mid-April, dropping
the index to 3321 and hampering its
30.28% return for the period. At the
same time, investors retreated to the
safety of larger companies, such as
those listed in the Standard & Poor's
500SM Index, which ended the
period with a 7.20% return. Another
index of well-established stocks - the
Dow Jones Industrial Average -
surged higher during the
NASDAQ's plummet, but the brief
rally wasn't enough to significantly
offset the blue-chip benchmark's poor
returns earlier in the period, as the
Dow eked out a 0.78% gain. Interest
in stocks of smaller companies
followed a similar pattern to the
NASDAQ, as the Russell 2000(registered trademark)
Index - a barometer of small-cap
stocks - returned a robust 18.72%,
but also experienced monthly
declines of more than 6% in both
March and April.

An interview with Harry Lange, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Capital
Appreciation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRY?
A. For the six months that ended April 30, 2000, the fund returned
23.59%. This topped the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned
7.20% during the same period, but slightly trailed the capital
appreciation funds average, which returned 23.66% according to Lipper
Inc. For the 12 months that ended April 30, 2000, the fund returned
26.49%, while the S&P 500 and Lipper group returned 10.13% and 33.58%,
respectively.
Q. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THE FUND EASILY BEAT THE S&P DURING THE PERIOD,
YET TRAILED ITS PEER GROUP?
A. For different reasons, the answer to both is technology. Relative
to the S&P 500, the fund benefited from a higher average exposure to
technology stocks, as well as good individual stock selection within
the sector. I kept the fund's technology exposure between 30%-35%
throughout the period. Many of the fund's peers, however, maintained
higher technology weightings and were able to benefit even more from
the group's strong performance. Also, I made a tactical error by
reducing the fund's technology exposure before the stocks actually
peaked in February and March. Another key performance factor was my
emphasis on Japanese stocks, particularly those in the finance and
technology sectors.
Q. CAN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR STRATEGY WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND'S JAPANESE
HOLDINGS?
A. Six months ago, Japan was showing signs of waking up from its
economic doldrums. As such, the fund held several investments that
benefited from this, including Jafco, a venture capital firm, and
Softbank, a leading creator and operator of Internet companies in
Japan. Also, I added to the fund's positions in brokerage houses
Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities. With Japan in the process of
deregulating its securities industry, I felt these companies would
benefit from increased investing volumes. At the end of the period,
these four stocks were among the fund's top-10 individual performers,
with Jafco and Softbank leading the way. As we neared the end of 1999,
though, I sensed some volatility on the horizon. I reacted by cutting
back on some of these positions, and my decision to do so proved wise
as the market showed signs of weakness in early 2000.
Q. YOU REDUCED THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN MEDIA AND LEISURE STOCKS FROM
18% SIX MONTHS AGO TO JUST UNDER 12% AT THE END OF APRIL. WHY THE FALL
FROM GRACE?
A. The majority of the decrease stemmed from the cable TV group, an
area that typically has been well-represented within the portfolio.
As the period wore on, several trends within the group became too
difficult to overlook. For example, I had expected revenues and cash
flow from companies such as Comcast and Time Warner to increase with
their rollout of digital and cable modem services. While these
services did roll out on or ahead of plan, increased competition from
satellite and digital subscriber line providers prevented the cash
flows from accelerating as I had expected.
Q. WHICH STOCKS PERFORMED WELL DURING THE PERIOD? WHICH WERE
DISAPPOINTING?
A. Exodus Communications - a leading provider of Web hosting services
- gave the fund a nice performance boost. Companies are anxious to
have a presence on the Web, and Exodus supplies the servers and other
equipment they need to get up and running. The fund no longer owned a
stake in Exodus at the end of the period, mainly due to valuation
concerns. Other good stocks were Ciena Corp., a company involved in
making telecommunications equipment, and Noble Drilling, which
benefited when oil prices rebounded. Disappointments, meanwhile,
included Playboy Enterprises and Pegasus Systems, a company
specializing in online reservations systems. Playboy experienced
weaker-than-expected cash flows within its entertainment division, and
Pegasus made what the market perceived to be a questionable
acquisition during the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, HARRY?
A. For the time being, all eyes should remain fixated on the
technology sector. Some investors will resort to more defensive
investments during the inevitable spurts of volatility, but technology
should continue to drive the market. The fund had just over 35% of its
investments in technology at the end of April, and I'm fairly
comfortable with that number. I'll continue to look for opportunities,
but my emphasis on technology will most likely remain less than that
of many of the fund's competitors.

FUND NUMBER: 307
TRADING SYMBOL: FDCAX

more than $3.7 billion
MANAGER: Harry Lange, since

Far East, 1988-1992; joined
Fidelity in 1987
HARRY LANGE TALKS ABOUT
TECHNOLOGY STOCKS, MARKET
VOLATILITY AND THE NASDAQ,
AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS FOR
THE FUND:
"The market volatility we witnessed
in the technology sector in April
may have been new and shocking,
particularly to the many investors
who have known nothing but good
times. But the volatility isn't what's
new - prices were due to correct
and they eventually did. What's new
in all of this is that the NASDAQ -
the index that tracks the tech
sector - has cemented its place
among investors as a daily,
must-see gauge for market
performance.
"I know it has for me. When I'm
checking on Capital Appreciation's
performance, I look at the S&P 500.
That's the index the fund compares
itself to. But I also pay very close
attention to the NASDAQ. Since
many of the fund's peers have
higher technology weightings than
the fund, the peer group tends to
perform more in line with the
NASDAQ than the S&P 500. In
terms of seeing what the
competition is up to, the NASDAQ
gives me the most accurate
glimpse.
"As far as managing the fund
through extreme periods of
volatility, my strategy doesn't
change too much. During this
particular period, my only strategy
was waiting for a chance to get back
into technology after I sold some
off a bit too early. I like to keep a
fairly low portfolio turnover rate,
mainly because I'm always
conscious of keeping transaction
costs and taxes at a minimum."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
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 that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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.
Distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a 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, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $44,000 or 0.0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,580,676,000 and $1,371,245,000, 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 annualized rate of .69% 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 $115,000.
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 annualized rate of .18% 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 $119,000 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 $28,228,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$28,954,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $258,000 under this arrangement.
6. EXPENSES REDUCTIONS - CONTINUED
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 $40,000 under this arrangement.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
New indicators of accelerating inflation led to a sharp downturn in
equity markets, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P
500(registered trademark) each suffered its worst single-session point
decline in history on April 14. Volatility ruled the remainder of the
month, with equity markets experiencing both strong rallies and broad
sell-offs. Inflation-sensitive Treasuries experienced similar
volatility, as prices for the bellwether 10-year note edged lower
throughout 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>
<CAPTION>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY DISCIPLINED EQUITY 12.76% 18.92% 180.27% 466.75%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 7.20% 10.13% 208.38% 459.05%
Growth Funds Average 16.99% 22.75% 192.81% 411.42%
</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 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 six months average represents a peer
group of 1349 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.*

Growth Funds Average 22.75% 23.27% 17.21%
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 April 30, 1990. As the
chart shows, by April 30, 2000, the value of the investment would have
grown to $56,675 - a 466.75% 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 $55,905 - a 459.05% 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 prolonged period of market
consistency that fostered seemingly
fixed expectations of rising
technology stocks reversed course
with a sudden change in investor
sentiment during the latter part of the
six-month period that ended April
30, 2000. To wit: After rising to a high
of 5048 on March 10, the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index - the
benchmark for new economy stocks
that outperformed most other
domestic equity indexes in 1999 -
experienced a pullback in April.
Shortly after experiencing a
10%-20% correction in March, the
NASDAQ sank a full 25% during a
single week in mid-April, dropping
the index to 3321 and hampering its
30.28% return for the period. At the
same time, investors retreated to the
safety of larger companies, such as
those listed in the Standard & Poor's
500SM Index, which ended the period
with a 7.20% return. Another index
of well-established stocks - the Dow
Jones Industrial Average - surged
higher during the NASDAQ's
plummet, but the brief rally wasn't
enough to significantly offset the
blue-chip benchmark's poor returns
earlier in the period, as the Dow
eked out a 0.78% gain. Interest in
stocks of smaller companies followed
a similar pattern to the NASDAQ, as
the Russell 2000(Registered trademark) Index - a
barometer of small-cap stocks -
returned a robust 18.72%, but also
experienced monthly declines of more
than 6% in both March and April.

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Steven Snider became Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund on May 1, 2000, after the end of the
period covered by this report.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. For the six months ending April 30, 2000, the fund returned 12.76%.
Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned
7.20% and the growth funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. returned
16.99%. For the 12 months ending April 30, 2000, the fund returned
18.92%, while the S&P gained 10.13% and the Lipper peer group average
reported gains of 22.75%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE S&P 500 INDEX AND NOT THE LIPPER
PEER GROUP?
A. The answer can be found by looking at the fund's technology
holdings. Relative to the S&P 500 index, the fund's outperformance was
due to superior stock selection, particularly among tech stocks, even
though the fund's overall technology weighting matched the index
throughout the period. Compared to its peers, the fund was
significantly underweighted in technology stocks - the average growth
fund in the Lipper peer group was 9% overweighted in tech stocks
compared to the fund. The technology sector in general had extremely
strong performance during most of the period, far outdistancing any
other sector of the market, so funds with large technology positions
received a considerable boost to performance, with a commensurate
increase in risk. Disciplined Equity's objective is to outperform the
S&P 500 consistently with minimal risk - over the long run I feel this
is the way to outperform the majority of peer funds as well.
Q. WHY DIDN'T THE FUND HOLD MORE TECHNOLOGY STOCKS?
A. That isn't the way the fund is designed to work. Investors familiar
with the fund know that, in general, the fund runs very tightly
controlled sector weightings and doesn't make large sector deviations
from its benchmark, or its risk profile. The quantitative models we
use favor companies with strong earnings and revenue growth,
reasonable valuations, and good business and profitability models.
During the most recent technology stock boom, it didn't seem to matter
if a company had good fundamentals. Most got swept along in the wave
and performed well regardless of earnings.
Q. WHAT AREAS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE, BOTH POSITIVELY AND
NEGATIVELY?
A. Technology stocks led the list in terms of both positive and
negative impact on the fund. Companies such as Applied Materials,
Texas Instruments and LSI Logic positively affected the fund's
performance with returns of 125%, 82% and 135%, respectively, for the
past six months. On the opposite side, Microsoft was the largest
detractor from the fund's performance amid concerns about the
company's future. Also hurting performance were the fund's
underweighted positions in Oracle and Cisco Systems - both of which
reported tremendous earnings during the period. Other contributors to
performance were utilities stocks, particularly Qualcomm, a leading
digital wireless communications company. An underweighting in the
finance sector, chiefly among regional banks, also helped. Additional
detractors were Royal Caribbean, the cruise ship operator, which
suffered from increased competition and higher oil prices, and
multinational oil company Atlantic Richfield, which sold off due to
uncertainty that a proposed acquisition by British Petroleum would be
blocked. However, the deal finally occurred in late April.
Q. DO YOU SEE YOURSELF MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE WAY THE FUND HAS BEEN
MANAGED?
A. No, investors shouldn't be concerned that I'll make drastic changes
in the fund. One of the benefits of having a quantitative fund, such
as Disciplined Equity, is that the models are already in place,
they've been tested and they will continue to run as they were
designed. That doesn't mean that we don't continually look for ways to
improve the models, it simply means that the management style of the
fund will not change. I've been very fortunate to have had the
opportunity to work closely with Brad Lewis, the fund's previous
manager, for the past eight years. My goal is to make the transition
as transparent as possible for shareholders.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND, STEVE?
A. My outlook for the fund is positive. The prospects for the U.S.
economy continue to be bright and profit growth estimates are strong.
In addition, we are seeing signs that the narrow market we've
experienced over the past year or two is broadening. This should bring
us back to a more normal market environment, where performance is not
driven solely by one sector, and where the best-valued stocks should
perform better across the board. This plays to the strength of funds
like Disciplined Equity.

STEVE SNIDER DISCUSSES THE
FUND'S INVESTMENT PROCESS:
"The investment management
process for Disciplined Equity
relies on a series of proprietary
quantitative models, with input from
Fidelity's fundamental research
organization. There are essentially
three steps in the process.
"The first is to forecast expected
returns for a universe of over
3,000 stocks. We begin with an
extensive database, going back many
years, containing over 50 data items
on each stock, including ratios from
the balance sheet and income
statements, relative strength
measures, consensus earnings
estimates and other factors. A
variety of models evaluate the data,
identify combinations of inputs to best
predict stock performance, and
produce a score based on a stock's
attractiveness.
"The second step is to create a
well-diversified portfolio. A program,
called an optimizer, takes the return
forecasts and calculates the best
combination of stocks to maximize
the fund's predicted return, subject to
certain restrictions - including
sector weights and trading costs. I
use the output to decide which
stocks to buy, hold or sell on any
given day.
"The final step is trading the stocks.
In this component, I work with
Fidelity's sophisticated trading room
to obtain the best execution while
minimizing the impact of those
trades on the market.
"While the quantitative models
are crucial to the investment
management process, Fidelity's
extensive fundamental research
capabilities are an invaluable
resource, particularly in cases of
late-breaking news not yet captured
by the quantitative databases at
the core of Fidelity Disciplined
Equity Fund."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
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 not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a 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 $2,903,920,000 and $3,091,504,000, 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 annualized rate of .54% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% 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 $94,000 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 there were no security loans
outstanding.
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 $520,000 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 $55,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
PROXY VOTING RESULTS
A special meeting of the fund's shareholders was held on March 15,
2000. The results of votes taken among shareholders on proposals
before them are reported below. Each vote reported represents one
dollar of net asset value held on the record date for the meeting.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
New indicators of accelerating inflation led to a sharp downturn in
equity markets, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P
500(registered trademark) each suffered its worst single-session point
decline in history on April 14. Volatility ruled the remainder of the
month, with equity markets experiencing both strong rallies and broad
sell-offs. Inflation-sensitive Treasuries experienced similar
volatility, as prices for the bellwether 10-year note edged lower
throughout 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>
<CAPTION>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY STOCK SELECTOR 12.98% 17.38% 171.88% 547.47%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 7.20% 10.13% 208.38% 494.61%
Growth Funds Average 16.99% 22.75% 192.81% n/a
</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 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 500SM
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 six months average represents a peer group of 1349
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.*

S&P 500 10.13% 25.26% 20.45%
Growth Funds Average 22.75% 23.27% 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 April 30, 2000, the value of the
investment would have grown to $64,747 - a 547.47% 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 $59,461 - a
494.61% 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 prolonged period of market
consistency that fostered seemingly
fixed expectations of rising
technology stocks reversed course
with a sudden change in investor
sentiment during the latter part of the
six-month period that ended April
30, 2000. To wit: After rising to a high
of 5048 on March 10, 2000, the
tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite
Index - the benchmark for new
economy stocks that outperformed
most other domestic equity indexes in
1999 - experienced a pullback in
April. Shortly after experiencing a
10%-20% correction in March, the
NASDAQ sank a full 25% during a
single week in mid-April, dropping
the index to 3321 and hampering its
30.28% return for the period. At the
same time, investors retreated to the
safety of larger companies, such as
those listed in the Standard & Poor's
500SM Index, which ended the period
with a 7.20% return. Another index
of well-established stocks - the Dow
Jones Industrial Average - surged
higher during the NASDAQ's
plummet, but the brief rally wasn't
enough to significantly offset the
blue-chip benchmark's poor returns
earlier in the period, as the Dow
eked out a 0.78% gain. Interest in
stocks of smaller companies followed
a similar pattern to the NASDAQ, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - a
barometer of small-cap stocks -
returned a robust 18.72%, but also
experienced monthly declines of more
than 6% in both March and April.

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Bob Kuo became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Stock Selector Fund on May 1, 2000, after the end of the period
covered by this report.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BOB?
A. For the six months ending April 30, 2000, the fund returned 12.98%.
During the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned
7.20% and the growth funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. returned
16.99%. For the 12 months ending April 30, 2000, the fund returned
17.38%, while the S&P 500 gained 10.13% and the Lipper peer group
average reported gains of 22.75%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE SURPASS THE S&P 500 INDEX BUT NOT
THE LIPPER PEER GROUP?
A. The answer to that question lies in the fund's technology holdings.
Relative to the S&P 500 index, the fund's outperformance was due to
superior stock selection, particularly among tech stocks, as well as
an overweighted position in technology relative to the index
throughout the period. Compared to its peers, however, the fund was
underweighted in technology stocks - the average growth fund in the
Lipper peer group was 9% overweighted in tech stocks compared to the
index. Some of the top Lipper performers allocated as much as 60% of
their funds to technology, about twice the S&P 500 weighting. While
the fund does make sector bets, a 60% weighting in one sector is much
too risky for Stock Selector. The technology sector was the place to
be over the past six months, and while the fund did position itself to
take advantage of the tech sector's strength, it was unwilling to bet
the farm on it.
Q. WHICH STOCKS HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Qualcomm, a leading digital wireless communications company, made
the largest contribution to the fund's performance, gaining 216% in
the last two months of 1999 alone. At that point, its valuation became
uncomfortably high, so the fund lightened its position considerably,
missing much of the stock's decline during the rest of the period.
Applied Materials, a semiconductor equipment company, was another key
contributor, as orders for its products remained extremely strong.
Texas Instruments benefited from growth in both wireless and broadband
communications. The company has a dominant two-thirds worldwide market
share in supplying microchips for wireless handsets, and it's poised
to capture a large share of the broadband market as Web-hungry
consumers demand faster digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable
modems. Rounding out the top contributors was Apple Computer, which
completed its turnaround by naming Steve Jobs to be its permanent CEO.
He's done a great job revamping its product line, and Apple's market
share is finally increasing after years of decline. Also adding to the
positive performance of the fund was an underweighted position in
non-durables, as some of the large S&P constituents, such as Procter &
Gamble and Coca-Cola, performed poorly.
Q. WHAT STOCKS HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE FUND?
A. Microsoft was the largest detractor from the fund's performance, as
the company continued to be dogged by the federal government's
antitrust case against it. Initial sales of its new Windows 2000
operating system also were slower than expected, which caused the
company to miss its revenue and earnings forecasts. Another detractor
was Nike, whose stock suffered after warnings that profit estimates
would not be met because of weak U.S. sales and the weak euro.
Finally, Bristol-Myers Squibb hurt performance as some of its key
products faced threats of competition from generic drug equivalents.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, BOB?
A. The economy continues to grow strongly and unemployment remains at
record lows, but there are signs that inflation may be ticking upward.
The Federal Reserve Board has been steadily raising interest rates
over the past year, and it doesn't seem inclined to stop in the near
future. Generally, this is a bad sign for the market, as stocks tend
to do poorly in a rising interest-rate environment. Also, we are
entering a seasonally slow period for stocks over the next six months.
Thus, I think the road ahead will be a challenging environment for
equities, and I'll position the fund accordingly. On a positive note,
it seems that some rationality has finally returned to the market
after a period in which companies with no earnings became superstar
performers. This is a good sign for our models, which tend to work
better when markets are "rational."

BOB KUO TALKS ABOUT THE
QUANTITATIVE INVESTMENT
PROCESS FOR FIDELITY STOCK
SELECTOR FUND:
"Funds that are managed
quantitatively, as Stock Selector
is, use computer programs to
determine the attractiveness of a
stock. Our programs model
various factors that contribute to
a given stock's return, such as
earnings growth, balance sheet
information and momentum
indicators. Data for over 3000
stocks are collected and
processed daily by our programs.
The resulting outputs are then
combined to produce a rating for
each stock. Using these ratings, I
can create a portfolio that has the
characteristics I want under the
current market conditions.
"After a fund manager change,
investors may be concerned that
the fund will be run differently. A
key advantage of a quantitatively
managed fund is that the
investment process and the
know-how - in this instance, the
computer models developed by
our group - stay with the fund. I
will continue to use the same
models to run Stock Selector that
were used by Brad Lewis, the
previous manager. Thus, the
transition should be very smooth.
Having said that, our group is
continually searching for new
variables and new ways of
processing data to create better
models. Research and development
is a crucial part of the quantitative
process, and we intend to
continue our efforts in this area."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Stock Selector (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 not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, passive foreign investment
companies (PFIC) 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 currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a 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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
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 $1,537,619,000 and $1,781,972,000, 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 annualized 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 annualized rate of .19% 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES - CONTINUED
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 $42,000 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 $27,070,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$28,290,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $369,000 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 $17,000 and $1,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
7. CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.
Based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the fund, the
Board of Trustees has determined not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP as the fund's independent auditor and voted to appoint Deloitte &
Touche LLP for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000. During the two
most recent fiscal years and through January 20, 2000,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's audit reports contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were their reports qualified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, there
were no disagreements between the fund and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
on accounting principles, financial statements disclosure or audit
scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference to
the disagreement in their report.
PROXY VOTING RESULTS
A special meeting of the fund's shareholders was held on March 15,
2000. The results of votes taken among shareholders on proposals
before them are reported below. Each vote reported represents one
dollar of net asset value held on the record date for the meeting.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
New indicators of accelerating inflation led to a sharp downturn in
equity markets, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P
500(registered trademark) each suffered its worst single-session point
decline in history on April 14. Volatility ruled the remainder of the
month, with equity markets experiencing both strong rallies and broad
sell-offs. Inflation-sensitive Treasuries experienced similar
volatility, as prices for the bellwether 10-year note edged lower
throughout 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).

Small Cap Funds Average 25.27% 36.64% 141.49% n/a
</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 843 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.*

Russell 2000 18.42% 15.28% 13.69%
Small Cap Funds Average 36.64% 18.48% n/a
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Small Cap Selector on June 28, 1993 when the fund
started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2000, the value of the
investment would have grown to $22,467 - a 124.67% 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 $24,064 - a 140.64%
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 prolonged period of market
consistency that fostered seemingly
fixed expectations of rising
technology stocks reversed course
with a sudden change in investor
sentiment during the latter part of the
six-month period that ended April
30, 2000. To wit: After rising to a high
of 5048 on March 10, the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index - the
benchmark for new economy stocks
that outperformed most other
domestic equity indexes in 1999 -
experienced a pullback in April.
Shortly after experiencing a
10%-20% correction in March, the
NASDAQ sank a full 25% during a
single week in mid-April, dropping
the index to 3321 and hampering its
30.28% return for the period. At the
same time, investors retreated to the
safety of larger companies, such as
those listed in the Standard & Poor's
500SM Index, which ended the period
with a 7.20% return. Another index
of well-established stocks - the Dow
Jones Industrial Average - surged
higher during the NASDAQ's
plummet, but the brief rally wasn't
enough to significantly offset the
blue-chip benchmark's poor returns
earlier in the period, as the Dow
eked out a 0.78% gain. Interest in
stocks of smaller companies followed
a similar pattern to the NASDAQ, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - a
barometer of small-cap stocks -
returned a robust 18.72%, but also
experienced monthly declines of more
than 6% in both March and April.

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Tim Krochuk became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Small Cap Selector on April 1, 2000.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended April 30, 2000, the fund returned
24.88%, while the Russell 2000 Index returned 18.72%. The small cap
funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 25.27% for the same time
period. For the year that ended April 30, 2000, the fund returned
29.23%, while the Russell 2000 and the Lipper peer group returned
18.42% and 36.64%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE RUSSELL 2000, WHILE UNDERPERFORMING
ITS LIPPER PEER GROUP DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund outperformed the Russell 2000 by virtue of the portfolio's
larger exposure to market-leading sectors, such as the technology and
Internet sectors. Conversely, the fund fell behind its peer group in
response to a relatively smaller proportion of the portfolio's assets
invested in the same technology and Internet stocks. In other words,
the fund was more concentrated than the broad market, but more
diversified than the Lipper peer group in which many funds maintained
- or even increased - their exposure to the top-performing,
high-growth technology/Internet and communication sectors.
Q. AS THE FUND'S NEW MANAGER, HAVE YOU ALTERED THE INVESTMENT
STRATEGY?
A. Although I have no plans to alter the fund's core strategy, I have
begun incorporating several technical models that I believe will
enhance the stock selection process. Technical models provide
information about short-term price volatility that can't always be
identified by traditional, fundamental models. This is particularly
important because many small-cap stocks exhibit tremendous price
volatility unrelated to changes in fundamental investment
characteristics, such as sales or earnings. For example, between 1985
and 1998, unprofitable stocks in the Russell 2000 returned, on
average, 21.7% less than those stocks that were profitable. However,
in 1999 this pattern reversed itself - unprofitable stocks, including
many Internet stocks, generated a 13.1% return premium. A typical
fundamental model would have suggested avoiding such stocks. However,
technical models that analyze the price and volume data that
contribute to a stock's trading momentum identified this shift and
adapted their buying strategies, despite the earnings conundrum.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S TOTAL RETURN?
A. Several technology stocks generated strong returns, including the
fund's third largest holding, SanDisk Corporation. SanDisk
manufactures data storage products and memory chips that are used in
PCs and cellular telephones. Other large technology holdings, such as
Cypress Semiconductor and Integrated Device Technology, also performed
well. In addition to strong performance by technology holdings, the
portfolio's underweighted position in financial stocks helped returns.
In general, financials performed poorly in response to an unfavorable
interest-rate environment.
Q. WHAT INVESTMENTS WERE DISAPPOINTING?
A. The portfolio's exposure to the specialty retail sector, including
two relatively large holdings - AnnTaylor Stores and Ross Stores -
held back returns as a result of rising interest rates and their
potential for restraining consumer spending. Both positions were sold
during the period. In addition, the portfolio was underweighted in the
top-performing technology sector for part of the period, so the fund
missed part of the sector's price run-up despite the strong gains in
several tech holdings that I discussed earlier.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I expect price volatility to continue, which could benefit active
portfolio managers. Recent price corrections, particularly in the
technology sector, are teaching investors to realize that they need to
pick the right stock - not just any stock - in a sector. Speculation
regarding the Federal Reserve Board's intentions may create additional
market uncertainty. Five interest-rate hikes since June 1999, combined
with the potential for further increases, could create an unfavorable
environment for the large, high price-to-earnings stocks that have led
the market over the past year. Under these circumstances, I expect
that actively managed, well-diversified portfolios have the potential
to outperform more highly concentrated or indexed portfolios.

TIM KROCHUK ON USING
TECHNICAL DATA TO ANALYZE
INVESTORS' DECISIONS:
"Investors face many choices in the
stock market, just as consumers face
many choices in the supermarket.
Both investors and shoppers make
purchase decisions based on
preferences for quality and cost.
The reasons underlying these
choices may be unknown, but we do
know the ultimate purchase price
and volume. Collecting such data
from the stock market is called
technical analysis, and every trade
leaves behind a trail of data. In
aggregate, this data provides a
mathematical way of analyzing the
market's `mind.' Technical data
also is very useful because - unlike
fundamental data - it is available
daily.
"Over the past year, technical
analysis was very successful. I
believe investors may be relying more
heavily on technical data to support
shorter investment holding periods.
Last year, on average, the largest
NASDAQ stocks were held for less
than 30 days and Internet stocks
were held for only 15 days. The
infrequency of new fundamental
information, such as earnings,
suggests that investors placed
greater emphasis on technical
indicators, such as price and
volume. As technical analysis
becomes more widespread, it should
achieve greater prominence as a
tool for shorter-term investment
decisions."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
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. 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 that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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.
Distribution in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a 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 $348,219,033 and $393,753,027, 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 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 annualized rate of .49% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .30% 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 $27,987 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 $12,703,806. The fund received cash collateral of
$12,763,300 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $54,052 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 $1,588 and $19,109, respectively, under these arrangements.
PROXY VOTING RESULTS
A special meeting of the fund's shareholders was held on March 15,
2000. The results of votes taken among shareholders on proposals
before them are reported below. Each vote reported represents one
dollar of net asset value held on the record date for the meeting.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
New indicators of accelerating inflation led to a sharp downturn in
equity markets, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P
500(registered trademark) each suffered its worst single-session point
decline in history on April 14. Volatility ruled the remainder of the
month, with equity markets experiencing both strong rallies and broad
sell-offs. Inflation-sensitive Treasuries experienced similar
volatility, as prices for the bellwether 10-year note edged lower
throughout 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.

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 APRIL 30, 2000 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 19.36% 27.62% 96.41%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 7.20% 10.13% 109.71%
Capital Appreciation Funds 23.66% 33.58% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, 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 500SM 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 six months average represents a peer group of 303 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.* The fund's 3% sales charge was eliminated on January 31,
2000.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 27.62% 21.50%
S&P 500 10.13% 23.82%
Capital Appreciation Funds 33.58% 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. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2000, the
value of the investment would have grown to $19,641 - a 96.41%
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 $20,971 - a 109.71% 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 prolonged period of market
consistency that fostered seemingly
fixed expectations of rising
technology stocks reversed course
with a sudden change in investor
sentiment during the latter part of the
six-month period that ended April
30, 2000. To wit: After rising to a high
of 5048 on March 10, the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index - the
benchmark for new economy stocks
that outperformed most other
domestic equity indexes in 1999 -
experienced a pullback in April.
Shortly after experiencing a
10%-20% correction in March, the
NASDAQ sank a full 25% during a
single week in mid-April, dropping
the index to 3321 and hampering its
30.28% return for the period. At the
same time, investors retreated to the
safety of larger companies, such as
those listed in the Standard & Poor's
500SM Index, which ended the period
with a 7.20% return. Another index
of well-established stocks - the Dow
Jones Industrial Average - surged
higher during the NASDAQ's
plummet, but the brief rally wasn't
enough to significantly offset the
blue-chip benchmark's poor returns
earlier in the period, as the Dow
eked out a 0.78% gain. Interest in
stocks of smaller companies followed
a similar pattern to the NASDAQ, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - a
barometer of small-cap stocks -
returned a robust 18.72%, but also
experienced monthly declines of
more than 6% in both March and
April.

An interview with Tim Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended April 30, 2000, the fund returned
19.36%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 7.20%. The
capital appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned
23.66% for the same time period. For the year that ended April 30,
2000, the fund returned 27.62%, while the S&P 500 and the Lipper peer
group returned 10.13% and 33.58%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE S&P 500 YET TRAIL ITS PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 primarily because of the
portfolio's higher concentration in sectors with strong market
momentum, such as technology and Internet services. On the other hand,
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. Although my quantitative models suggested a
portfolio that was more concentrated than the broad market, they also
suggested a more diversified portfolio than the peer group, in which
many funds maintained or increased their investments in
technology/Internet and communication stocks - the only two sectors
that experienced overall positive returns during the period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS DID YOUR QUANTITATIVE MODELS INCORPORATE DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. Narrow market breadth remained a critical factor. For example,
between October 1998 - when the NASDAQ index emerged from its last
price correction - and December 1999, only 65 of the index's 4,770
stocks contributed to its gain of 241%. Of that return, fully half of
it came from just five stocks. In response to weak market leadership,
I relaxed some of my models' constraints to emphasize those technical
factors that had demonstrated a good success rate in the current
environment. These included tests of market momentum, money flows,
size and industry sector. Concentrating my models' criteria set served
to reduce the risk of being underweighted in sectors and stocks
experiencing positive market action, including large technology and
Internet stocks. At the same time, my models suggested retaining a
core holding of defensive stocks, such as food and consumer product
companies that could stabilize returns during weak market periods.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS BENEFITED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The portfolio's top performers reflected my models' emphasis on
market leadership qualities. For example, Cisco, Intel, Oracle and
Texas Instruments - all well-established, large-cap technology stocks
- had attractive technical, as well as fundamental, characteristics.
Large money inflows, strong price and trading volume relationships and
positive market momentum all contributed to substantial returns for
these stocks. The fund's total return also benefited from more limited
investments in several small-cap technology stocks, such as Rambus and
Inktomi. Rambus develops high-speed interface technology, and Inktomi
generates software applications linked to network performance and
intelligence.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. The biggest disappointment was Microsoft. Although the fund was
only market-weighted in the stock, the company's sheer size in the S&P
500 index translated into a relatively large position in the
portfolio. Despite generally positive technical factors, the stock
took an exceptionally heavy hit in response to antitrust concerns and
a late-spring sell-off of new economy stocks. The portfolio's core
holdings of defensive stocks, such as Philip Morris, Bristol-Myers
Squibb and Wal-Mart, underperformed for much of the period as
technology stocks held reign. However, they did live up to their
defensive billing as they helped cushion the portfolio's performance
during the tech sector sell-off in April.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I expect market volatility to continue, which could benefit active
portfolio managers. Recent market activity, particularly in the
technology sector, is teaching investors to realize that they need to
pick the right stock - not just any stock - in an industry. The
market's focus on the Federal Reserve Board's actions lends additional
uncertainty to the environment. Five interest-rate hikes since June
1999, combined with the potential for additional increases, could
create an unfavorable climate for the large, high price-to-earnings
stocks that have been leading the market. Given these circumstances, I
expect that actively managed, well-diversified portfolios have the
potential to outperform more highly concentrated or indexed
portfolios.

TIM KROCHUK ON USING
TECHNICAL DATA TO ANALYZE
INVESTORS' DECISIONS:
"Investors face many choices in
the stock market, just as consumers
face many choices in the
supermarket. Both investors and
shoppers make purchase decisions
based on preferences for quality and
cost. The reasons underlying these
choices may be unknown, but we do
know the ultimate purchase price
and volume. Collecting such data
from the stock market is called
technical analysis, and every trade
leaves behind a trail of data. In
aggregate, this data provides a
mathematical way of analyzing the
market's `mind.' Technical data also
is very useful because - unlike
fundamental data - it is available
daily.
"Over the past year, technical
analysis was very successful. I
believe investors may be relying
more heavily on technical data to
support shorter investment
holding periods. Last year, on
average, the largest NASDAQ
stocks were held for less than 30
days and Internet stocks were
held for only 15 days. The
infrequency of new fundamental
information, such as earnings,
suggests that investors placed
greater emphasis on technical
indicators, such as price and
volume. As technical analysis
becomes more widespread, it
should achieve greater
prominence as a tool for
shorter-term investment
decisions."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
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 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 schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, 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.
Distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 30 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. Redemptions on or prior to
January 31, 2000 of shares held less than 90 days were subject to a
short-term trading fee equal to.75% of the proceeds of the redeemed
shares.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency or
other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to
an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a 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 $47,313,575 and $40,862,602, 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 annualized rate of .57% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $18,054 on sales of shares of the fund all of which
was retained. Effective January 31, 2000, the fund's 3% sales charge
was eliminated.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .28% 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 $3,298 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 $450,762. The fund received cash collateral of
$461,500 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $2,560 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 $1,102 under this arrangement.
PROXY VOTING RESULTS

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
New indicators of accelerating inflation led to a sharp downturn in
equity markets, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P
500(registered trademark) each suffered its worst single-session point
decline in history on April 14. Volatility ruled the remainder of the
month, with equity markets experiencing both strong rallies and broad
sell-offs. Inflation-sensitive Treasuries experienced similar
volatility, as prices for the bellwether 10-year note edged lower
throughout 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>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY VALUE 1.01% -8.94% 77.88% 262.54%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 7.20% 10.13% 208.38% 459.05%
Russell Midcap Value 2.22% -4.49% 106.55% 308.16%
Capital Appreciation Funds 23.66% 33.58% 194.74% 377.57%
Average
</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 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 500SM Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. You can also compare
the fund's return to the performance of the Russell Midcap Value Index
- a market capitalization-weighted index of value-oriented stocks of
U.S. corporations. 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 six months average
represents a peer group of 303 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 APRIL 30, 2000 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY VALUE -8.94% 12.21% 13.75%
S&P 500 10.13% 25.26% 18.78%
Russell Midcap Value -4.49% 15.61% 15.10%
Capital Appreciation Funds 33.58% 21.76% 15.06%
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

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Value Fund on April 30, 1990. As the chart shows,
by April 30, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to
$36,254 - a 262.54% 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 $55,905 - a 459.05% 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 prolonged period of market
consistency that fostered seemingly
fixed expectations of rising
technology stocks reversed course
with a sudden change in investor
sentiment during the latter part of the
six-month period ended April 30,
2000. To wit: After rising to a high of
5048 on March 10, the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index - the
benchmark for new economy stocks
that outperformed most other
domestic equity indexes in 1999 -
experienced a pullback in April.
Shortly after experiencing a
10%-20% correction in March, the
NASDAQ sank a full 25% during a
single week in mid-April, dropping
the index to 3321 and hampering its
30.28% return for the period. At the
same time, investors retreated to the
safety of larger companies, such as
those listed in the Standard & Poor's
500SM Index, which ended the period
with a 7.20% return. Another index
of well-established stocks - the Dow
Jones Industrial Average - surged
higher during the NASDAQ's
plummet, but the brief rally wasn't
enough to significantly offset the
blue-chip benchmark's poor returns
earlier in the period, as the Dow
eked out a 0.78% gain. Interest in
stocks of smaller companies followed
a similar pattern to the NASDAQ, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - a
barometer of small-cap stocks -
returned a robust 18.72%, but also
experienced monthly declines of more
than 6% in both March and April.

An interview with Rich Fentin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Value
Fund
Q. RICH, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE SIX MONTHS THAT ENDED
APRIL 30, 2000?
A. During the six-month period, the fund returned 1.01%, compared to
7.20% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, 2.22% for the Russell
Midcap Value Index and 23.66% for the capital appreciation funds
average tracked by Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended April 30,
2000, the fund returned -8.94%, while the S&P 500 returned 10.13%, the
Russell Midcap Value Index fell 4.49%, and the Lipper capital
appreciation funds average gained 33.58%.
Q. WHAT WERE THE MAIN FACTORS THAT DROVE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE OVER
THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. I pursue a value-oriented investment style, and the market
environment for most of the past six months was not favorable for
value funds. The S&P 500 and the Lipper group include both growth and
value stocks, while the fund attempts to beat the S&P 500 by typically
investing in value stocks. Generally, I buy the type of stocks found
in the Russell Midcap Value Index. That being said, the six-month
period could be divided into two parts. From the beginning of November
until the middle of March, the market was led almost exclusively by
high-growth technology stocks selling at extremely high valuations.
During the last six weeks of the period, the market rotated
significantly away from these investments and toward more old economy
industrial names that had been neglected. While the fund experienced
very strong performance in March and April - gaining about 14% for
those two months - it was not enough to offset the effects of the
run-up in technology stocks during the first four months of the
period. The fund trailed the Lipper group, the S&P 500 and the Russell
Midcap Value Index because it had very little invested in technology,
where I did not find much, if any, value.
Q. WHERE DID YOU FIND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES?
A. As investors herded into high-priced technology stocks, many good
companies fell into the value universe. While stock market averages
were on the rise, the number of stocks suffering share-price declines
significantly outnumbered those enjoying share-price advances. As a
result, there were a lot of buying opportunities for the fund. Over
the first half of the six-month period, the fund had a significant
weighting in commodity companies, including those involved with oil,
steel, aluminum and chemicals. Midway through the period, I was
attracted to manufacturing companies such as Ingersoll-Rand and Black
& Decker. Overall, I found that I could invest in stocks selling at a
price-to-earnings ratio of under 10, with solid business franchises,
five to eight years of earnings growth, and solid prospects. Food and
aerospace were two other areas that caught my eye.
Q. WHICH STOCKS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Sometimes what you don't own is as important as what you do own.
During the past six months, the fund benefited from maintaining a very
small stake in the financial sector, which was hurt by rising interest
rates. The fund's top-performing stock was Quest Diagnostics, a
clinical laboratory company. Quest bought its top competitor and
became the largest company in an improving industry. The fund's energy
and energy service stocks also performed well, including Weatherford,
Amerada Hess, Halliburton and Noble Drilling. Capacity utilization in
the oil and gas markets has been historically high for a few years and
investors became more convinced that OPEC would help keep oil prices
at higher, sustainable levels.
Q. WHAT ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. The fund's worst-performing group was the retailers, including
Federated Department Stores and Consolidated Stores. This sector fell
due to fears that Federal Reserve Board interest-rate hikes would slow
consumer spending. Some stocks also fell due to concerns that new
dot.com companies would eat into their companies' business.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. While significant overvaluation remains in some pockets of the
stock market, many sectors experienced a significant bear market.
Therefore, there are many quality companies offering particular value.
With the Fed maintaining an assertive stance toward raising rates,
many stock prices reflect particularly bad news going forward; many
have reached 20- to 30-year valuation lows and are priced as if a
recession is expected. While there are a lot of opportunities for
value-oriented investors, I don't anticipate a turnaround in many
stock prices until or unless something happens to indicate that the
Fed will stop raising rates or will start lowering them. But even if
the U.S. economy does experience a significant slowdown, the backdrop
remains positive, with low inflation, budget surpluses and a strong
dollar.

RICH FENTIN
ON DIVERSIFICATION:
"After watching some technology
company stocks post astronomical
returns through the beginning of
March 2000, we saw many of them
begin to fall to earth. The
relatively strong performance of
value stocks from that point
through the end of April 2000
pointed out to investors why a value
fund could be an important
component of a diversified portfolio.
That's not to say that investors
should invest exclusively in a
mutual fund with a value-oriented
investment style, much the same as
how the past six weeks show the
dangers of investing exclusively in
speculative technology stocks.
Investors may want to hold a
significant stake in growth or
technology stocks for the long
term, but there are a lot of ways to
make money within a balanced
portfolio.
"A traditional investment
philosophy includes diversification.
Own speculative stocks, but
balance your investments. The
value approach offers a
historically proven successful way
to enjoy capital appreciation.
Diversify into international funds
or blue-chip stocks. All of these
investments belong in your
portfolio, because at any given
moment in a market cycle each will
work better than the others. If you
diversify your portfolio, you will be
able to take advantage of rallies in
the market wherever they arise."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
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, 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 schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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 that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury , Federal Agency
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a 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 $897,263,000 and $1,636,227,000, 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 annualized rate of .25% 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 annualized rate of .23% 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 $134,000 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 $2,803,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$2,954,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $556,000 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 $76,000,
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:
