President's Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

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

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

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,

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value).

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 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 one year 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.(dagger)

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.)

Annual Report

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund on October 31, 1990. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $48,719 - a 387.19% 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 $59,103 - a 491.03% increase.

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.

The Lipper multi-cap supergroup average reflects the performance (excluding sales charges) of mutual funds with similar capitalization. As of October 31, 2000, the one year, five year and 10 year cumulative total returns for the multi-cap core funds average were 14.61%, 135.22% and 441.13%, respectively; and the one year, five year and 10 year average annual total returns were 14.61%, 18.38% and 17.96%, respectively. The one year, five year and 10 year cumulative total returns for the multi-cap supergroup average were 19.65%, 141.87% and 463.06%, respectively; and the one year, five year and 10 year average annual total returns were 19.65%, 18.73% and 18.22%, respectively.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

The U.S. equity markets went from hot to cold during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2000. At the period's onset, strong enthusiasm for technology and telecommunication stocks lifted the performance of those and other stocks related to the so-called "new economy." In March and April, a sharp correction in those sectors nudged investors toward more traditional industries, such as pharmaceuticals and financials. However, the broadening of the market was brief. In May, the Federal Reserve Board raised key interest rates to their highest levels in nine years in a move designed to prevent inflation. It was the Fed's fourth consecutive rate hike during the period. Higher rates, coupled with the highest oil prices in a decade and the declining value of the euro, collectively exacted a toll on corporate profits. This slowdown was particularly evident in the third quarter, as many companies revised earnings on the downside. The emergence of these factors during the past six months hampered the one-year returns of the major U.S. equity indices. The NASDAQ Composite Index ended the 12-month period with a 13.81% gain. Small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index, returned 17.41%. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, an index of 500 larger companies, advanced 6.09%. Investors were less enamored with blue-chip industrial stocks, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.82%.

An interview with Harry Lange, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Harry?

A. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2000, the fund returned 8.14%. This topped the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned 6.09% during the same period, but trailed the capital appreciation funds average, which returned 21.82% according to Lipper Inc.

Q. How did the up-and-down technology sector affect the fund's performance during the period?

A. Through the first half of the period - when technology stocks of all shapes and sizes were doing well - the fund benefited accordingly. For much of that time, I kept the fund's technology weighting between 30%-35% of its total assets. In April, however, the technology bubble burst following a widespread pricing correction. The correction was especially harsh to smaller-cap technology names, which typically account for a sizable portion of the fund. Consequently, investors began favoring the stocks of well-known, large-cap technology names that many of the fund's peers tend to emphasize. I also overestimated the global demand for semiconductors, and the fund's positions in Micron Technology and KLA-Tencor suffered. By the end of the period, depreciation and selective selling had whittled the fund's technology exposure to around 26%.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What other factors helped shape performance?

A. Good stock picking in Japan contributed, even as the economic recovery there slowed to a crawl. Japan flirted with investors in 1999, as it made giant strides in the way of reform, and as Internet-related companies such as JAFCO and Softbank - both top-10 performers for the fund during the period - rode high along with the NASDAQ wave. Then, of course, the wave crashed. Fortunately, I had begun to reduce the fund's exposure to riskier Japanese stocks in early 2000, and had shifted my attention to domestically focused Japanese companies that could benefit in a slowly recovering economy. I added to the fund's positions in brokerages Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities, for instance, which I felt would benefit from inflows from maturing Japanese savings accounts. I also increased the fund's stake in optical networking company Furukawa Electric, which performed well. I did, however, sell off the fund's stake in Softbank. At the close of the period, the fund's Japanese investments accounted for slightly more than 7% of its total assets.

Q. You doubled the fund's exposure to construction and real estate stocks during the second half of the period. What appealed to you?

A. With the economy showing signs of slowing - and interest rates at high levels - I felt that homebuilders and real estate investment trusts, or REITs, would fare better than banks and other financials. Homebuilding orders, in fact, were strong throughout the period and the fund's stake in Lennar Corp., a leading builder, performed very well. Several of the fund's office building REITs also performed well, including Equity Office Properties. Office space was in tight supply, and companies such as Equity Office benefited from having a steady stream of lease revenues.

Q. Media and leisure stocks, on the other hand, fell from 18% of the fund's investments a year ago, to about 7% at the end of the period. Why?

A. It was mostly due to negative trends for both cable TV stocks and radio and TV broadcasters. Slower-than-expected revenue growth hurt cable TV names such as Comcast and Time Warner, and I began to move away from these positions early in the period. I also anticipated that the technology decline would result in less dot-com advertising revenue for broadcasting stocks, so I sold off the fund's positions in Hispanic Broadcasting, Univision and CBS.

Q. Which other stocks performed well during the period? Which were disappointing?

A. Ciena Corp., another company involved in the fiber-optics business, performed well, as did Caremark, which offers pharmaceutical benefits to corporate health plans. On the negative side, Tumbleweed Communications - which specializes in secure online messaging - fell along with the rest of the Internet world. Hikari Tsushin, a Japanese cellular phone retailer, also performed poorly. The fund no longer owned a stake in Hikari at the end of the period.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Investors are in a much more cautious mode, mostly due to the April technology decline and a slowing economy. I think the uncertainty will continue for a few months, but I also think the economic slowdown will be temporary. Once investor confidence is restored, smaller-cap technology stocks should fare better. I may look to add to the fund's technology positions over the next few months, since that's where I believe I'll find the long-term growth.

Harry Lange on the flight to quality in the technology sector:

"Similar to two years ago - when the broad stock market was rewarding a very narrow group of large-cap stocks - the technology sector today is being led by a select group of well-known, large-cap names. This is mostly due to the April technology decline and reflects the fact that investors have become less likely to take risks.

"Instead, as is perfectly normal, they've focused more on technology companies they know. These tend to be larger-cap names with more history behind them. For the fund, this flight to quality is not conducive to good returns because it lowers the premium on good stock picking.

"My goal in managing the fund is to find companies that have top-line revenue growth that's faster than the overall growth of the technology sector. For newer companies, I also like to see a pretty strong cash position on their balance sheet. This search typically leads me to smaller-cap, riskier-type technology stocks, which investors mostly avoided from April through October.

"Eventually, I think the technology sector will stabilize and investor confidence will be restored. The economy will be a key thing to watch during the next few months - if we have a protracted slowdown, it could take a while for that confidence to come back. If the slowdown is temporary - which I think it will be - the confidence could come back fairly soon."

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2000

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 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

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

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

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

Distributions to Shareholders.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

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

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

2. Operating Policies.

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

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

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

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 $372,000 or 0.0% of net assets.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $2,887,326,000 and $2,951,218,000, 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

Management Fee - continued

same or a lower management fee. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .63% of average net assets after the performance adjustment

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

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 $191,000.

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

Cash Central Funds. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central Fund and the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central 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 investment income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the accompanying financial statements.

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 $258,000 for the period.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

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 $28,170,000. The fund received cash collateral of $29,364,000 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 $490,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's transfer agent fees were reduced by $97,000 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

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

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

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

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,

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value).

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 1,351 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.(dagger)

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.)

Annual Report

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund on October 31, 1990. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $60,785 - a 507.85% 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 $59,103 - a 491.03% increase.

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.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

The U.S. equity markets went from hot to cold during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2000. At the period's onset, strong enthusiasm for technology and telecommunication stocks lifted the performance of those and other stocks related to the so-called "new economy." In March and April, a sharp correction in those sectors nudged investors toward more traditional industries, such as pharmaceuticals and financials. However, the broadening of the market was brief. In May, the Federal Reserve Board raised key interest rates to their highest levels in nine years in a move designed to prevent inflation. It was the Fed's fourth consecutive rate hike during the period. Higher rates, coupled with the highest oil prices in a decade and the declining value of the euro, collectively exacted a toll on corporate profits. This slowdown was particularly evident in the third quarter, as many companies revised earnings on the downside. The emergence of these factors during the past six months hampered the one-year returns of the major U.S. equity indices. The NASDAQ Composite Index ended the 12-month period with a 13.81% gain. Small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index, returned 17.41%. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, an index of 500 larger companies, advanced 6.09%. Investors were less enamored with blue-chip industrial stocks, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.82%.

Steven Snider, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Disciplined Equity Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Steve?

A. The fund gained 11.65% for the 12 months that ended October 31, 2000. During the same time period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 6.09% and the growth funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 15.32%.

Q. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 index but lagged its peers. Why?

A. The fund's outperformance of the index was a result of stock selection rather than industry selection. While there may be short-term over- or underweightings of sectors relative to the market at any time, the long-term strategy of the fund is to keep the sector weighting in line and focus on stock selection to maximize the fund's performance. Relative to its peers, the fund's underweighting in technology early in the period during the tremendous run-up in the sector was the primary reason for our underperformance.

Q. Which sectors were positive contributors to fund performance?

A. Technology was the largest contributor. In the first six months of the period, technology stocks were huge winners for the portfolio. In April and May, however, tech stocks were under fire. Shortly after taking over the fund in May, I began to reduce the technology position to be more in line with the S&P 500 benchmark. This move helped performance since I had reduced many positions in time to avoid losses. Other sectors that had a positive effect on the fund were finance - particularly brokerage companies - health care and utilities. The fund's brokerage stocks soared as the effects of huge trading volumes boosted earnings. HMO stocks were the largest gainers among our health care picks, and avoiding the hard-hit long distance carriers helped performance in our utilities sector positions.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What stocks helped the fund during the one-year period?

A. Qualcomm was the largest contributor to performance. We overweighted the stock versus the index during the first half of the period and benefited from its phenomenal performance. In the spring we reduced the position, underweighted the stock during the past six months as its value fell and sold out of it by the end of the period. Brokerage firm Lehman Brothers had a terrific year. Its earnings and margins rose throughout the past 12 months, its fixed-income trading revenues were up significantly and the company actively repurchased stock. Insurance company CIGNA was another standout. Its principal business segment - HMO operations - benefited from firmer pricing, minimal Medicare exposure, solid management and a growing national presence. UnitedHealth Group, another HMO, also posted strong results and ended the period with tremendous momentum.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. Micron Technology remained profitable throughout the year, but the stock lost two-thirds of its value during the summer and autumn as prices of its primary product - memory chips - collapsed as supply outpaced demand. Advanced Micro Devices, Teradyne and Applied Materials all performed extremely well through April and then gave up gains later in the year. Microsoft had a tough year in light of the government's antitrust suit. Adding to Microsoft's woes were declining PC sales and a lower-than-expected response to the new Windows 2000 operating system.

Q. What's your outlook, Steve?

A. My outlook is cautiously optimistic. A fair amount of evidence suggests that the economy is slowing from its torrid pace of the past few years, though this doesn't necessarily mean that a recession is ahead. Higher oil prices are exerting a drag on the economy, as higher prices raise operational costs that businesses are unable to pass along due to pricing pressures. The Federal Reserve's bias has been toward higher interest rates, which is generally not good for stocks, but this may change depending on the outcome of the election and the direction of the economy. My investment philosophy is to avoid positioning the fund so that its success is contingent on the occurrence of a particular macroeconomic outcome, and my goal is to have stock selection remain the dominant factor in how the fund performs.

Steve Snider talks about the benefits of diversified portfolios:

"Disciplined Equity is a broadly diversified portfolio with a large number of holdings. Some people question the logic of owning a diversified portfolio instead of a concentrated portfolio - one that holds a significantly smaller number of stocks, perhaps as few as 20. The argument for concentration is that a fund manager can have only so many good ideas and that adding additional stocks dilutes the impact of the manager's best ideas.

"I'm not a big believer in this argument for a variety of reasons. Let's consider stock returns first. By using quantitative models to analyze over 3,000 stocks, a portfolio manager can cover more names in more detail than by using traditional research methods. Since each stock is ranked by attractiveness relative to all the others, we can better evaluate their comparative merits and assemble a quantitatively optimal portfolio without being limited to just a few great ideas.

"Now, let's consider risk. Recent studies of stock market volatility showed that individual stock volatility rose during the past 40 years, while overall market volatility remained fairly constant. The implication is that correlations between stocks have fallen - meaning stock prices move more in response to specific company factors and less in sympathy with one another. In practical terms, a fund needs to hold more stocks to achieve a given level of risk reduction than in previous years. "

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2000

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Disciplined Equity (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 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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

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

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

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income 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, futures, foreign currency transactions, 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.

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

2. Operating Policies.

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

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

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

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $4,062,500,000 and $4,197,762,000, respectively.

The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period amounted to $141,831,000 and $139,294,000, 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

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Management Fee - continued

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 ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .58% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size

and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual 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.

Fidelity Cash Central Fund. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central 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 investment income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the accompanying financial statements.

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 $152,000 for the period.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

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 $52,745,000. The fund received cash collateral of $52,277,000 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 $615,000 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 $2,000, and $119,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

President's Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

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

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

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,

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value).

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 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 one year 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.(dagger)

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.)

Annual Report

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Value Fund on October 31, 1990. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $41,371 - a 313.71% 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 $59,103 - a 491.03% increase.

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.

* The Lipper mid-cap value funds average reflects the performance (excluding sales charges) of mutual funds with similar portfolio characteristics and capitalization. As of October 31, 2000, the one year, five year and 10 year cumulative total returns for the mid-cap value funds average were 21.63%, 102.60%, and 362.37%, respectively; and the one year, five year and 10 year average annual total returns were 21.63%, 14.64% and 15.71%, respectively.

The U.S. equity markets went from hot to cold during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2000. At the period's onset, strong enthusiasm for technology and telecommunication stocks lifted the performance of those and other stocks related to the so-called "new economy." In March and April, a sharp correction in those sectors nudged investors toward more traditional industries, such as pharmaceuticals and financials. However, the broadening of the market was brief. In May, the Federal Reserve Board raised key interest rates to their highest levels in nine years in a move designed to prevent inflation. It was the Fed's fourth consecutive rate hike during the period. Higher rates, coupled with the highest oil prices in a decade and the declining value of the euro, collectively exacted a toll on corporate profits. This slowdown was particularly evident in the third quarter, as many companies revised earnings on the downside. The emergence of these factors during the past six months hampered the one-year returns of the major U.S. equity indices. The NASDAQ Composite Index ended the 12-month period with a 13.81% gain. Small-cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index, returned 17.41%. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, an index of 500 larger companies, advanced 6.09%. Investors were less enamored with blue-chip industrial stocks, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.82%.

An interview with Rich Fentin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Value Fund

Q. Rich, how did the fund perform during the 12 months that ended October 31, 2000?

A. The fund returned 1.24% for the 12 months that ended October 31, 2000, compared to 21.82% for the capital appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc., 6.09% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 11.85% for the Russell Midcap Value Index.

Q. What were the main factors that drove the fund's performance during the past 12 months?

A. I pursue a value-oriented investment style. The S&P 500 and the Lipper group include both growth and value stocks, while the fund attempts to beat these benchmarks by typically investing in value stocks. Generally, I buy the type of stocks found in the Russell Midcap Value Index. From the beginning of the period until mid-March, high-growth technology stocks selling at extremely high valuations led the market. For most of the rest of the period, the market rotated significantly toward old economy industrial names that had been neglected. The fund trailed the Lipper group, the S&P 500 and the Russell Midcap Value Index because it had very little invested in technology during the sector's heyday, because I did not find much value there. Additionally, I underweighted utilities stocks, a safe haven that many investors sought when the market became more volatile in the summer. Instead, the fund held fairly significant weightings in cyclical sectors - those whose prospects are tied to the health of the economy - such as basic industries and basic materials.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. How did these sectors perform, and what impact did they have on the fund?

A. These economically sensitive industries suffered a downturn due to three factors. First, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates to slow growth and head off inflation. When the market saw this monetary policy start to eat into economic growth, it rotated away from cyclicals. Second, there were concerns that rising energy and labor costs would be detrimental to corporate earnings in general, and for cyclicals in particular. Third, the weakness of the euro relative to the dollar made products offered by European companies more competitively priced compared to U.S.-based cyclicals. Two of the fund's cyclical investments that fared poorly were CNF Transportation and metals company Harsco. Fund performance also was hurt by the poor performance of two of its larger holdings, Consolidated Stores and Federated Department Stores. Federated's stock suffered due to the struggles of the Fingerhut catalog company it recently purchased. Consolidated declined, as did many retailers, as part of the cyclical downdraft.

Q. What did you do in response to these developments?

A. When it became clear that the economy was slowing, I reduced the cyclical concentration of the portfolio. I shifted assets to companies whose prospects would be attractive within a slowing or recessionary economy. That included adding utilities investments, which made up 9.0% of net assets as the period closed. In addition, I looked to invest in interest-rate sensitive stocks such as those related to housing, because rates started to come down.

Q. Even though it was a difficult period, there must have been some stocks that performed well for the fund . . .

A. Yes, there were a number of stocks that turned in solid performance. I'd mention financial investments that were generally immune to credit problems created by the slowing economy, including Ace Limited and Fannie Mae. In addition, some of the fund's energy positions benefited from higher energy prices, including Weatherford International and Amerada Hess. Quest Diagnostics, a medical testing laboratory, was very strong due to its purchase of a major competitor that helped it become the market leader in its niche. Cabot, a chemical firm, benefited from the growth and subsequent sale of a technology-related subsidiary. I subsequently sold off Quest and Cabot to take profits.

Q. What is your outlook?

A. I think we'll witness a rough period for the economy, especially since growth had been fueled by extraordinary gains in the stock market and the dot.com craze, both of which have fizzled. Other more industrial firms could continue to struggle due to somewhat high interest rates, higher labor and energy costs, and the weakness of the euro. That being said, value stocks have, for the first time in a while, offered some attractive investment possibilities. I intend to look for companies in industries with the least excess capacity - in other words, constrained supply - with the feeling that they'll attract attention once demand picks up on the other side of the economic downturn.

Rich Fentin on value investing:

"The value discipline has been discredited during the past few years because value stocks struggled while high-growth technology stocks soared. Value stocks are not expected to perform well in markets that rise 20% to 30% each year. However, historically they do tend to outperform in down markets. In the late '90s, value stocks didn't outperform during periodic market downturns because strong demand helped technology shares maintain their market leadership. More recently, though, we've seen signs of a drop off in tech demand. As a result, value as a style led the market for every month in 2000 since March with the exception of June. Value finally started to work because these kinds of stocks provide a safe haven in a rocky market. Market prices currently factor in the anticipation of an economic slowdown and perhaps a recession. Undervalued companies in industries with constrained capacity should offer improved prospects if interest rates decline, labor and energy costs subside or the euro reaches fairer value. We hope that the recent interest in value stocks is the signal of a new trend and that value again will come back in vogue as an investment style."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2000

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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

Security Valuation. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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

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

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Taxes - continued

that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

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

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, 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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

2. Operating Policies.

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

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

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

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 $1,708,605,000 and $2,816,756,000, 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 ±.20% of the fund's

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

4. Fees and other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Management Fee - continued

average net assets over the performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .25% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.

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

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

Cash Central Funds. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central Fund and the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central 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 investment income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the accompanying financial statements.

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 $285,000 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

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

5. Security Lending - continued

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 $1,022,000 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 $9,000 and $161,000, 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:
