KEY FACTS
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund offers investors a convenient and economical way to invest in a
professionally managed portfolio of money market instruments.
The fund is designed for investors who would like to earn current income
while preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
The fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00 and offers an
added measure of safety with its focus on U.S. Treasury securities.
The fund does not constitute a balanced investment plan. However, because
it emphasizes stability, it could be well-suited for a portion of your
savings.
U.S. Treasury Portfolio is composed of two classes of shares. Each class
of the fund has a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
Initial Class shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a distribution
fee. Class B shares do not have a front-end sales charge, but do have a
contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), and pay a distribution fee and a
shareholder service fee. Class B shares are available only by exchange
from Class B of a Fidelity Advisor fund. Because Initial Class shares do
not have a sales charge, have a lower distribution fee and have no
shareholder service fee, Initial Class shares are expected to have a higher
total return than Class B shares. You may obtain more information about
Initial Class shares which are not offered through this prospectus, from
your investment professional or by calling Fidelity Client Services at
1-800-843-3001.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy, sell or
exchange Class B shares of the fund. See "Transaction Details," page , for
an explanation of how and when these charges apply.
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is imposed only if you redeem
Class B shares within 5 years of purchase. See "Transaction Details," page
, for information about the CDSC.
Maximum CDSC (as a % of the 4.00%
lesser [A]
of original purchase price or
redemption proceeds)
Maximum sales charge on None
reinvested distributions
Redemption fee None
Exchange fee None
[A] DECLINES OVER 5 YEARS FROM 4.00% TO 0%.
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of Class B's assets. The fund pays a
management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The fund
also incurs other expenses for services such as maintaining shareholder
records, and furnishing shareholder account statements and financial
reports.
12b-1 fees include a distribution fee and a shareholder service fee.
Distribution fees are paid by FMR and Class B to the distributor for
services and expenses in connection with the distribution of Class B
shares. Shareholder service fees are paid by Class B to investment
professionals for services and expenses incurred in connection with
providing personal service and/or maintenance of Class B shareholder
accounts. Payments by FMR may be made from its management fee, its past
profits or other sources. Payments by Class B are made directly out of
Class B assets. Long-term Shareholders may pay more than the economic
equivalent of the maximum sales charge permitted by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., due to 12b-1 fees.
Class B's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses"
on page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses of Class B and
are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of Class B of the
fund.

EXPENSE TABLE EXAMPLE: You would pay the following expenses, including the
maximum CDSC, on a $1,000 investment in Class B shares of the fund,
assuming a 5% annual return and either (1) full redemption or (2) no
redemption, at the end of each time period:

[B] REFLECTS CONVERSION TO INITIAL SHARES AFTER SIX YEARS.
THESE EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATE THE EFFECT OF EXPENSES, BUT ARE NOT MEANT TO
SUGGEST ACTUAL OR EXPECTED COSTS OR RETURNS, ALL OF WHICH MAY VARY.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Class B to the extent that total
operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and
extraordinary expenses) are in excess of 1.35% of its average net assets.
If this agreement were not in effect, other expenses, and total operating
expenses of Class B would have been the following amounts, as a percentage
of average net assets: ___% and ___%, respectively.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights table that follows and the fund's financial
statements are included in the fund's Annual Report. The annual information
has been audited by the fund's independent accountants. The reports on the
financial statements and financial highlights are included in the Annual
Report. The financial statementsand the financial highlights are included
in the Annual Report. The financial statements, the financial highlights,
and the report are incorporated by reference into the fund's SAI, which may
be obtained free of charge from Fidelity Client Services at 1-800- 843-3001
or your investment professional.
PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD.
The exclusion of any applicable sales charge from a performance calculation
produces a higher return.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in the fund over a
given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
Average annual and cumulative total returns usually will include the effect
of paying the maximum applicable sales charge.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in the fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a money
market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market funds
maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields are the most
common illustration of money market fund performance.
The fund's recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders.
For current performance call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUND IN DETAIL
CHARTER
U.S. TREASURY PORTFOLIO IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools
shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal. The fund is a
diversified fund of Daily Money Fund, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on September 29, 1993.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
fund, and review the fund's performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These meetings
may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental policies,
approve a management contract, or for other purposes. Shareholders not
attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy. The transfer
agent will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and
information about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled to one
vote for each share you own.
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust, respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number
of different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of
financial services and products. The fund employs various Fidelity
companies to perform activities required for its operation.
The fund is managed by FMR, which handles the fund's business affairs. FMR
Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of __, 19_, FMR advised funds having approximately __million
shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $__ billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC) performs transfer agent servicing functions for Class B of the
fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FMR Texas. Members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of
shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power
of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act),
control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of
individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company;
therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR. Corp.
To carry out the fund's transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that the fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
The fund may invest in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and other
direct obligations of the U.S. Government that are guaranteed as to payment
of principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government, and in repurchase agreements backed by those obligations. The
fund intends to invest 100% of its total assets in US. Treasury bills,
notes and bonds, and repurchase agreements backed by those obligations.
When you sell your shares, they should be worth the same amount as when you
bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a
stable $1.00 share price. The fund follows industry-standard guidelines on
the quality and maturity of its investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The fund will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities it buys. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the fund's investments could cause its
share price (and the value of your investment) to change. It is important
to note that the fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The fund earns income at current money market rates. It stresses
preservation of capital, liquidity and income. It does not seek the higher
yields or capital appreciation that more aggressive investments may
provide. The fund's yield will vary from day to day, and generally reflects
current short-term interest rates and other market conditions.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more detailed information
about the fund's investments are contained in the fund's SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund achieve its
goal. Current holdings and recent investment strategies are described in
the fund's financial reports, which are sent to shareholders twice a year.
For a free SAI or financial report, contact your investment professional,
or call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
securities issued by the Federal Farm Credit Bank or by the Federal
National Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right
to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances.
However, securities issued by the Financing Corporation are supported only
by the credit of the entity that issued them.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt security. Their risks are similar to those of other money market
securities, although they may be more volatile.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a security
at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the issuer
or a financial intermediary. In exchange for this benefit, the fund may pay
periodic fees or accept a lower interest rate.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be
determined by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an
acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities and some
othersecurities may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS. The fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect the market value of the fund's assets.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
or engage in reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding
331/3% of its total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent
with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or engage in
reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 33 1/3% of
its total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily operations.
Expenses paid out of Class B's assets are reflected in its share price or
dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor deducted
from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained below.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fund
pays the fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of its average net assets.
FMR HAS A SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT with FMR Texas, which has primary
responsibility for providing investment management for the fund, while FMR
retains responsibility for providing the fund with other management
services. For these services FMR pays FMR Texas 50% of its management fee
(before expense reimbursements but after payments made by FMR pursuant to
Class B's Distribution and Service Plan). FMR paid FMR Texas __% of the
fund's average net assets for fiscal 19__.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's annual
operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
FIIOC performs certain transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder
services for Class B. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) calculates the NAV and
dividends for Class B, and maintains the fund's general accounting
records. In fiscal 1995, fees paid by Class B to FIIOC amounted to ___% of
Class B's average net assets and fees paid by the fund to FSC amounted to
___% of the fund's average net assets.
Class B shares have adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Under the
Plan, Class B is authorized to pay FDC a monthly distribution fee as
compensation for its services and expenses in connection with the
distribution of Class B shares. FDC is paid a distribution fee monthly by
FMR and Class B at an annual rate of 0.75% of Class B's average net assets
determined at the close of business on each day throughout the month.
In addition, pursuant to the Class B Plan, investment professionals are
compensated at an annual rate of 0.25% of average net assets of Class B for
providing personal service to and/or maintenance of Class B shareholder
accounts.
The Plan also specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its
management fee revenue, past profits or other resources to reimburse FDC
for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of Class B
shares. The Board of Trustees has authorized FMR to pay FDC a distribution
fee from its management fee revenue, past profits or other resources at an
annual rate of up to 0.38% of Class B's average net assets. FMR currently
pays FDC monthly at an annual rate of __% of Class B's average net assets
determined at the close of business on each day throughout the month.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of
trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity.

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends normally declared are accrued daily throughout the month
and are normally distributed on the first business day of the following
month. Based on prior approval of the fund, dividends relating to Class B
shares redeemed during the month can be distributed on the day of
redemption. The fund reserves the right to limit this service. Shareholders
may elect to receive dividend distributions in cash.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. Class B offers three options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you
will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
3. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions,
if any, will be automatically invested in the same class of another
identically registered Fidelity Advisor fund.
For retirement accounts, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 1/2 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
Shares purchased through reinvestment of dividend and capital gain
distributions are not subject to a sales charge.
Dividends will be reinvested at Class B's NAV on the last day of the month.
Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the NAV as of the
record date of the distribution. The mailing of distribution checks will
begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the fund
will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account you
should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income tax,
and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live outside the
United States, your distributions could also be taxed by the country in
which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when they are paid,
whether you take them in cash or reinvest them. However, distributions
declared in December and paid in January are taxable as if they were paid
on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions,
if any, are taxed as long-term capital gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally free
from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may limit
this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the benefit. In
addition, some states may impose intangible property taxes. You should
consult your own tax adviser for details and up-to-date information on the
tax laws in your state.
During fiscal 1995, __% of U.S. Treasury Portfolio's income distributions
was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities, which is generally
exempt from state income tax.
Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, the fund
may have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS and its NAV is normally calculated each day
that both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) and the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are open. The following holiday closings have
been scheduled for 1996: New Year's Day (observed), Birthday, Washington's
Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday
schedule to be observed in the future, the New York Fed or the NYSE may
modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day that the New York Fed
or the NYSE closes early, the principal government securities markets close
early (such as on days in advance of holidays generally observed by
participants in such markets), or as permitted by the SEC, the right is
reserved to advance the time on that day by which purchase and redemption
orders must be received.
To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days
when the New York Fed or the NYSE is closed, the fund's NAV may be affected
on days when investors do not have access to the fund to purchase or redeem
shares. Certain Fidelity funds may follow different holiday closing
schedules.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Class B is
computed by adding Class B's pro rata share of the value of the fund's
investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting Class B's pro rata share
of the value of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities
allocated to Class B, and dividing the result by the number of Class B
shares outstanding. The fund values its portfolio securities on the basis
of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a
security's market value and helps the fund maintain a stable $1.00 share
price.
THE OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share)is Class B's NAV. The REDEMPTION
PRICE (price to sell one share) is Class B's NAV, minus any applicable
CDSC.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE. Class B shares may, upon redemption, be
assessed a CDSC based on the following schedule:
CONTINGENT DEFERRED
FROM DATE OF PURCHASE SALES CHARGE
Less than 1 year 4%
1 year to less than 3 years 3%
3 years to less than 4 years 2%
4 years less than 5 years 1%
5 years to less than 6 years[A] 0%
[A] After a maximum holding period of 6 years, Class B shares will convert
automatically to Initial Shares of the Portfolio. See "Conversion Feature"
below for more information.
The CDSC will be calculated based on the lesser of the cost of Class B
shares at the initial date of purchase or the value of Class B shares at
redemption, not including any reinvested dividends or capital gains. In
determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, Class B
shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, will be
redeemed first, followed by Class B shares that have been held for the
longest period of time. Class B shares acquired through distributions
(dividends or capital gains) will not be subject to a CDSC.
CONVERSION FEATURE. After a maximum holding period of six years from the
initial date of purchase, Class B shares and any capital appreciation
associated therewith, convert automatically to Initial shares of the
Portfolio. Conversion to Initial shares will be made at NAV. At the time
of conversion, a portion of the Class B shares purchased through the
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also
convert to Initial shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will
convert is determined by the ratio of your converting Class B non-Dividend
Shares to your total Class B non-Dividend Shares.
For more information about the CDSC, including the conversion feature and
the permitted circumstances for CDSC waivers, contact your investment
professional.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you have sold all or part of your Class B
shares, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the
redemption proceeeds in Class B shares of the fund or Class B shares of a
Fidelity Advisor
fund, at the NAV next determined after receipt of your investment order,
provided that such reinvestment is made within 30 days of redemption. Under
these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid will be
reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class B shares of the fund
or Class B shares of the Fidelity Advisor fund, as applicable. You must
reinstate your Class B shares into an account with the same registration.
This privilege may be exercised only once by a shareholder with respect to
the fund and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC
schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class B shares had not
been redeemed.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require the fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity may only be
liable for losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it does not
follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the identity of the caller.
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and
may also record calls. You should verify the accuracy of the confirmation
statements immediately after receipt. If you do not want the ability to
redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.
Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations
and certain fiduciaries.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail.
THE FUND REERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. The fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions" on page 19. Purchases by exchange
may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would disrupt management of the
fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number of
checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be
canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or
Fidelity has incurred.
Net interest income for dividend purposes is determined by FSC on a daily
basis and shall be payable to shareholders of record at the time of its
declaration (including, for this purpose, holders of Class B shares
purchased, but excluding holders of shares redeemed, on that day).
Shareholders of record as of 2:00 p.m. will be entitled to dividends
declared that day.
Shares purchased after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (including all purchases by
check) begin to earn income dividends on the following business day.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Shares redeemed before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time do not
receive the dividend declared on the day of redemption; shares redeemed
after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time do receive the dividends declared on the day
of redemption.
(small solid bullet) The fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is
reasonably assured that investments credited to your account made in
clearinghouse funds have been received and collected.
When the NYSE or the New York Fed is closed (or when trading is restricted)
for any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or
under any emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such
action, the fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates. In cases
of suspension of the right of redemption, the request for redemption may
either be withdrawn or payment may be made based on the NAV next determined
after the termination of the suspension.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1000 due to redemption, the account
may be closed and the proceeds less any applicable CDSC, may be mailed to
your address of record. You will be given 30 days' notice that your account
will be closed unless it is increased to the minimum.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder you have the privilege of exchanging Class B shares for
Class B shares of a Fidelity Advisor fund seven calendar days after
purchase. Currently, there is no limit on the number of exchanges out of
the fund.
Exchange instructions may be given by you in writing or by telephone
directly to the transfer agent or through your investment professional. For
more information on entering an exchange transaction, please consult your
investment professional.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges will not be permitted until a completed and
signed account application is on file.
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if the
fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant
portions of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that
coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to the fund.
(small solid bullet) Any exchanges of Class B shares are not subject to a
CDSC.
Although the fund will attempt to give you prior notice whenever it is
reasonably able to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any time. The
fund reserves the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege in
the future.
SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS
THE CDSC ON CLASS B SHARES MAY BE WAIVED:
1. In cases of disability or death, provided that Class B shares are
redeemed within one year following the death or the initial determination
of disability, or
2. In connection with a total or partial redemption related to certain
distributions from retirement plans or accounts.
No dealer, sales representative or any other person has been authorized to
give any information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in this Prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation shall be
determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values,
net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining
whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and
limitations.
The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations may not be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities," (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940
Act)), of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations set forth below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the government of the United
States, its agencies or instrumentalities) if as a result (a) more than 5%
of its total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer;
provided, however, that with respect to 25% of its total assets, 10%, of
its assets may be invested in the securities of an issuer;
(2) issue senior securities except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including
the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any
borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three
days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than the securities issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities), if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments;
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements;
(9) write or purchase any put or call options.
(10) The fund may, not withstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED WITHOUT
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
( i ) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and
amount to the securities sold short , and provided that transactions
in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling
securities short.
(ii) Subject to revision upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, the fund
does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the
fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance
of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with
futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute
purchasing securities on margin.
(i ii ) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate
serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase
agreements with any party. The fund will not purchase any security while
borrowings (excluding reverse repurchase agreements) representing more than
5% of its total assets are outstanding. The fund will not borrow from other
funds advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
( i v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal
or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.
(v i ) The fund does not currently intend to make loans, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years of continuous operation.
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas or other
mineral exploration or development program or leases.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the Trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For the fund's policies on quality and maturity, see section entitled
"Quality and Maturity" on page 4.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. The fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may include
repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and
repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by
deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated
financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities;
short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance
with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews
procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial
institutions.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by the fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after
the customary settlement period for that type of security .
Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is
delivered.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, the fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because the fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If the fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When the fund has sold a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, the fund does not participate in further gains or
losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a
delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities,
the fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer
a loss.
The fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of the fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of the fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by the fund to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are valued for
purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation at fair value as determined
in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through
a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a
position where more than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid
securities, it would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order
issued by the SEC, the fund has received permission to lend money to, and
borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. Interfund
loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum
duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund
will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from other short-term instruments (such as repurchase
agreements), and will borrow through the program only when the costs are
equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. A fund may have to borrow
from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not
renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs. The fund does not
currently intend to participate in the program as a lender.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the
issuer at any time or at specified intervals. They are subject to the
risk that t he put provider is unable to honor the put feature
(purchase the security).
QUALITY AND MATURITY Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the fund may purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered high-quality, a
security must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in one of the
two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two nationally
recognized rating services (or by one, if only one rating service has rated
the security); or, if unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
The fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
securities. In addition, the fund may not invest more than 1% of its total
assets or $1 million (whichever is greater) in the second tier securities
of a single issuer.
The fund currently intends to limit its investments to securities with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a
security, the fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand
feature.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to
the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. To protect the
fund from the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its
obligation, the securities are held in an account of the fund at a bank,
marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the
sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. W hile it does not
presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these transactions
(particularly the possibility that the value of the underlying security
will be less than the resale price, as well as delays and costs to the fund
in connection with bankruptcy proceedings), it is the fund's current policy
to engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose
creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash, and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement.
The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties
whose creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such
transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's
assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." The fund may sell securities short when it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind or amount to
the securities sold short. Short sales could be used to protect the net
asset value per share of the fund in anticipation of increased interest
rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities sold short.
If the fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required
to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities
sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities)
and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is
outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales
against the box.
STRIPPED GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Stripped securities are created by
separating the income and principal components of a debt instrument and
selling them separately. U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) are created when the
coupon payments and the principal payment are stripped from an outstanding
Treasury bond by the Federal Reserve Bank. Bonds issued by government
agencies also may be stripped in this fashion.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS provide for periodic adjustments of
the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide
for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating
rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change
in a designated benchmark rate. Some variable or floating rate securities
have put features.
SHAREHOLDER NOTICE. The fund, intends to invest 100% of its total
assets in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and in repurchase agreements
backed by those obligations. This operating policy may be changed upon 90
days' notice to shareholders.
As an operating policy subject to change only upon approval by the Board of
Trustees and 60 days' prior notice to shareholders, the fund does not
currently intend to purchase futures contracts or options on futures
contracts.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR has granted investment management authority to the
sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), and the
sub-adviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies
described below. FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction
orders for other investment companies and accounts for which it or its
affiliates act as investment adviser. Securities purchased and sold by the
fund generally will be traded on a net basis (i.e., without commission). In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal
securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including, but not
limited to, the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character
of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution
efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the broker-
dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a
continuing basis; and the reasonableness of any commissions.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who provide
research and execution services to the fund or other accounts over which
FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such services may
include advice concerning the value of securities; the advisability of
investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such
broker-dealers may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers,
industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and
performance of accounts; effect securities transactions, and perform
functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). FMR
maintains a listing of broker-dealers who provide such services on a
regular basis. However, as many transactions on behalf of the fund are
placed with broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list) without
regard to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to estimate
the proportion of such transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely
because such services were provided. The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) based upon the quality of research and execution services
provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the fund or its other clients, and conversely, such research
provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the fund. The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services. In order to cause the
fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith that
such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage
and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in
terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to the
fund and its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should
be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of other Fidelity funds
to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services provided by
and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc.
( FBSI) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (FBS), subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non - affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. From September 1992 through December 1994, FBS operated
under the name Fidelity Brokerage Services Limited, Inc. (FBSL). As of
January 1995, FBSL was converted to an unlimited liability company and
assumed the name FBS. Prior to September 4, 1992, FBSL operated under the
name Fidelity Portfolio Services, Ltd. (FPSL) as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Fidelity International Limited (FIL). Edward C. Johnson 3d is Chairman
of FIL. Mr. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the
benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of
the voting common stock of FIL.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute fund transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
The T rustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over
representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the fund paid no
brokerage commissions.
During fiscal 1995, the fund paid no fees to brokerage firms that
provided research services.
From time to time, the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar
fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and
advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the
tender of fund securities, but at present no other recapture arrangements
are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture
opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to
determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be
advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for the fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is
held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and accounts
are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same
security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or
account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable for each fund. In
some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or
value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will
produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said
to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Fidelity Service Company (FSC) normally determines the fund's net asset
value per share (NAV) at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The
valuation of portfolio securities is determined as of these times for the
purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
During periods of declining interest rates, the fund's yield based on
amortized cost valuation may be higher than would result if the fund used
market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply during
periods of rising interest rates.
Valuing the fund's investments on the basis of amortized cost and use of
the term "money market fund" are permitted pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
1940 Act. The fund must adhere to certain conditions under Rule 2a-7, as
summarized in the section entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page 4 .
The Board of Trustees oversees FMR's adherence to the provisions of Rule
2a-7 and has established procedures designed to stabilize the fund's NAV at
$1.00. At such intervals as they may deem appropriate, the Trustees
consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations
would deviate from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees believe that a
deviation from the fund's amortized cost per share may result in material
dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed
to take such corrective action, if any, as they may deem appropriate
to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution
or unfair results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares
in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such
other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance information
supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is not intended to
indicate future returns. Yield and total return fluctuate in response to
market conditions and other factors.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute a class's yield for a period, the net
change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share reflects the
value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original
share and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period
return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. An effective
yield may also be calculated by compounding the base period return over a
one-year period. In addition to the current yield, the fund may quote
yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yield s
for the fund ar e calculated on the same basis as other money market
funds, as required by applicable regulations.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a class's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, each class's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment
alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the
portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to
consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates a
class's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates a class's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to the fun d from the continuous sale of its shares will
likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the
balanc e of the fund's holdin gs, thereby reducing a class's current
yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to
occur.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a class's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any chang e in a class's N AV over
a stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated by determining
the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment
in a class o ver a stated period, and then calculating the annually
compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the
rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For
example, a cumulative total return of 100% over ten years would produce an
average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return
that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While
average annual total returns are a convenient means of comparing investment
alternatives, investors should realize that a class's performance is
not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average
annual total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of a class.
In addition to average annual total returns, a class may quote unaveraged
or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of
redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes
in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these factors
and their contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.

** Average annual and cumulative total returns include the effect of

Note: Initial offering of B shares took place on July 31, 1994. Returns
prior to that date are those of Initial Class, the original class of the
fund and do not reflect Class B's 1.00% 12b-1 shareholder servicing fee.
Initial Class Shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load,
but with a .38% 12b-1 fee. If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses
during these periods, the fund's yield would have been ___% and total
returns would have been lower.
The following table shows the income and capital elements of Class B's
c umulative total return. The table compares Class B's return to the
record of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500),
the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living (measured
by the Consumer Price Index, or CPI) over the same period. The CPI
information is as of the month end closest to the initial investment date
for the fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how
Class B's t otal return compared to the record of a broad average of
common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies,
respectively, over the same period. Of course, since the fund invests in
short-term fixed-income securities, common stocks represent a different
type of investment from the fund. Common stocks generally offer greater
growth potential than the funds, but generally experience greater price
volatility, which means greater potential for loss. In addition, common
stocks generally provide lower income than fixed-income investments such as
the fund. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA are based on the prices of
unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not include
the effect of paying brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.
During the period from July 31 , 19 86 through July 31,
19 95 , a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in Class B would have
grown to $______ assuming all dividends were reinvested. This was a period
of fluctuating interest rates and the figures below should not be
considered representative of the dividend income or capital gain or loss
that could be realized from an investment in Class B today.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 made on July
31 , 19 86 the net amount invested in Class B was $10,000. The
cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost
of reinvested dividends for the period covered (their cash value at the
time they were reinvested) , amounted to $_______. If distributions
had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from Class B
over time would have been smaller and the cash payments (dividends) for the
period would have amounted to $_____. The fund did not distribute any
capital gains during the period. Neither tax consequences of different
investments nor CDSC's have not been factored into the above figures.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as
mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper),
an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of
total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund
rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money
market mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper or other
organizations. When comparing these indices, it is important to remember
the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For
example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they
also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money
market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not
offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.
From,time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals.
For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising
materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that
compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate
categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or
other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual
funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, the
fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, the
fund does not guarantee your principal or your return, and fund shares are
not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand
their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such
information may include information about current economic, market, and
political conditions; materials that describe general principles of
investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and
goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial
profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of
inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering
investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of
Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical
returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common
stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury
bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the Consumer Price Index), and
combinations of various capital markets. The performance of these capital
markets is based on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to
demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
The fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/All
Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(registered trademark),
covers over 749 Taxable and 229 U.S. Government money market funds.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing;
brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving
for college or other goals; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit
card. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business
publications and periodicals as they relate to current economic and
political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment
philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular
mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint,
and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus,
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of f iscal y ear e nd , 199_, FMR advised over $__
billion in tax-free fund assets, $__ billion in money market fund assets,
$___ billion in equity fund assets, $__ billion in international fund
assets, and $___ billion in Spartan fund assets. The fund may reference the
growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's
innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under
management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under
management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States, making
FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries,
and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and communications network
for the purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing the NAV of the Class B Shares. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes
and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 (the Rule) under the 1940 Act, the fund is
required to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating
or modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60 day
notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a
modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of
exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the shares to
be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the sale of its shares
because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies.
In the prospectus, the fund has notified shareholders that it reserves the
right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases by
any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
CLASS B WAIVERS. The contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B
shares may be waived in the Case of (1) disability or death, provided that
the redemption is made within one year following the death or initial
determination of disability, (2) in connection with a total or partial
redemption made in connection with distributions from retirement plan
accounts at age 70 1/2 which are permitted without penalty pursuant to the
Internal Revenue Code.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. Because the fund's income is primarily derived from interest,
dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Short-term capital gains are distributed as dividend income, but do not
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. A portion of the fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. Government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation. The fund will send each shareholder a notice
in January describing the tax status of dividend and capital gain
distributions (if any) for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund may distribute short-term capital
gains once a year or more often as necessary, to maintain its net asset
value at $1.00 per share. The fund does not anticipate earning long-term
capital gains on securities held by the fund.
As of fiscal year end July 31, 1995, the fund had a capital loss
carryforward aggregating approximately $___. This loss carryforward, of
which $___ will expire on fiscal year end July 31, 1996 and respectively,
is available to offset future capital gains.
STATE AND LOCAL TAX ISSUES. For mutual funds organized as business trusts,
state laws provide for a pass-through of the state and local income tax
exemption afforded to direct owners of U.S. Government securities. Some
states limit this to mutual funds that invest a certain amount in U.S.
Government securities, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency backed securities, may not qualify for this
benefit. The tax treatment of you r dividend distributions from the
fund will be the same as if you directly owned your proportionate share of
the U.S. Government securities in the fund's portfolio. Because the income
earned on most U.S. Government securities in which the fund invests is
exempt from state and local income taxes, the portion of your dividends
from the fund attributable to these securities will also be free from
income taxes. The exemption f rom state and local income taxation
does not preclude state s from assessing other taxes on the ownership
of U.S. Government securities. In a number of states, corporate franchise
(income) tax laws do not exempt interest earned on U.S. Government
securities whether such securities are held .
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND . The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and
avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level,
the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as
on a fiscal year basis.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of the
Daily Money Fund for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some of
the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and
no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. In
addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and
local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and
local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers
to determine whether the fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes.
Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family
and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting
common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member
employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the
vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which
all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of
Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where
one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common
stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of
the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling
group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
FIIOC, which performs shareholder servicing functions for institutional
customers and funds sold through intermediaries; and Fidelity Investments
Retail Marketing Company, which provides marketing services to various
companies within the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For example, all
personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance, and participation
in initial public offerings is prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the
timing of personal investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on
short-term trading have been adopted.

** Interested trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988, the non-interested
Trustees, upon reaching age 72, become eligible to participate in a
retirement program under which they receive payments during their lifetime
from a fund based on their basic trustee fees and length of service. The
obligation of a fund to make such payments is not secured or funded.
Trustees become eligible if, at the time of retirement, they have served on
the Board for at least five years. Currently, Messrs. Ralph S. Saul,
William R. Spaulding, Bertram H. Witham, and David L. Yunich, all former
non-interested Trustees, receive retirement benefits under the program.
On July 31, 1995 , the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in
the aggregate, less than __% of the fund's total outstanding shares.
As of ____________ the following owned of record or beneficially 5% or
more of the outstanding shares of Class B:
A shareholder owning of record of beneficially more than 25% of the
Portfolio's outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person.
Their votes could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a
shareholders meeting than votes of other shareholders.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser
and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the
investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR
performing services relating to research, statistical and investment
activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary
for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities
for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters, and
other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's
records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal and state
laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and
furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FIIOC and FSC, the fund or class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its
expenses, without limitation, that are not assumed by those parties. The
fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials
to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor and
non-interested Trustees. Although the fund's current management contract
provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices and reports to
shareholders, the trust, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a revised
transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, pursuant to which FIIOC bears the
costs of providing these services to existing shareholders of the
applicable class. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums
and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares
under federal and state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such
non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to
which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify
its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is the fund's manager pursuant to a management contract dated
September 29 , 1993, approved by shareholders on March 24, 1993.
For the services of FMR under the contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly
management fee at the annual rate of 0 .50% of the average net assets
of the fund throughout the month. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, FMR received $_____, $_____ and $_____, respectively.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of the
fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses). FMR retains the ability to
be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall
below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Expense reimbursements
by FMR will increase the fund's total returns and yield and repayment of
the reimbursement by the fund will lower its total returns and yield.
Effective October 14, 1988, FMR voluntarily agreed, subject to revision or
termination, to reimburse Class B i f and to the extent that its
aggregate operating expenses, including management fees, were in excess of
an annual rate of ____% of average net assets. If this reimbursement had
not been in effect, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and
1993, FMR would have received fees amounting to $_______, $ _______
and $________, respectively, which would have been equivalent to ___%, ___%
and ___% of average net assets of the fund.
To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse the
fund if and to the extent that the fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net assets. The
applicable percentages are 21/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next
$70 million, and 11/2% of average net assets in excess of $100 million.
When calculating the fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, the
fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan expenses and
custodian fees attributable to investments in foreign securities.
SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMR Texas
pursuant to which FMR Texas has primary responsibility for providing
portfolio investment management services to the fund.
Under the sub-advisory agreement dated _______, which was approved by
shareholders on ________, FMR pays FMR Texas fees equal to 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund,
after payments by FMR pursuant to each class's 12b-1 plan , if
any. The fees paid to FMR Texas are not reduced by any voluntary or
mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.
On behalf of the fund for the fiscal years ended July 31 1995, 1994, and
1993 FMR paid FMR Texas fees of $________, $2,367,209, and $2,400,702,
respectively.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
FIIOC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for
the fund. FIIOC receives an annual account fee and an asset based
fee based on account size. With respect to certain retirement accounts,
FIIOC receives asset-based fees only. With respect to certain other
retirement accounts, FIIOC receives annual account fees and asset -based
fees based on fund type.
FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
and all other reports, notices and statements to shareholders, with the
exception of proxy statements.
FSC performs the calculations necessary to determine NAV and dividends for
Class B and maintains the fund's accounting records. The annual
fee rates for these pricing and bookkeeping services are based
on the fund's average net assets, specifically .0175% for the first
$500 million of average net assets and .0075% for average net assets in
excess of $500 million. The fee is limited to a minimum of $20,000 and a
maximum of $750,000 per year. Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including
related out-of-pocket expenses, paid to FSC by the fund for
fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $___ , $___ and $___,
respectively.
The fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts corporation
organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use
all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure
purchasers for shares of each fund, which are continuously offered at
NAV . Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the
offer and sale of shares are paid by F DC . The table below shows
the sales charge revenue paid to FDC, and retained by FDC, for the
following fiscal periods ending:

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) on
behalf of Class B of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under 1940
Act (the Rule ). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund
may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of a fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan,
as approved by the Trustees, allows Class B of the fund and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute direct or
indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.
Pursuant to the Plan, FDC is paid a distribution fee at an annual
rate of up to . 75 % of Class B's average net assets determined as of
the close of business on each day throughout the month. Class B also
pays investment professionals a service fee at an annual rate of
0 .25% of its average daily net assets determined at the close of
business on each day throughout the month for the personal service and/or
maintenance of shareholder accounts.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995 and 1 99 4 , Class B
and FMR paid distribution fees of $____ and $____, respectively, of
which $ _____ and $_____ was retained by FDC. In addition, for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, and 1994, Class B paid shareholder
service fees of $____ and $_____, respectively.
Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is
deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its
shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan specifically
recognizes that FMR, either directly or through FDC, may use its management
fee revenue, past profits, or other resources, without limitation, to pay
promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and
sale of shares of the applicable class of the fund. In addition, the Plan
provides that FMR may use its resources, including its management fee
revenues, to reimburse FDC for payments made to third parties
that assist in selling shares of the applicable class of the fund, or to
third parties, including banks, that render shareholder support services.
Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
Class B and its shareholders. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR
and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of Class
B of the fund, additional sales of fund shares may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under
the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.
The Class B plan does not provide for specific payments by Class B
of any of the expenses of FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any
specific type of level of distribution activities or incur any specific
level of expense in connection with distribution activities. After
payments by FDC for advertising, marketing and distribution, and payments
to third parties, the amounts remaining, if any, may be used as FDC may
elect.
The Plan was approved by FMR as the then sole shareholder of Class B on
____, 199_.
The Plan allows FMR to make payments to certain third parties with whom FDC
has entered into written Service Contracts and who assist or have assisted
in selling Class B shares of the fund or who provide shareholder
support services ("Investment Professionals"), for assistance in selling
Class B shares of the fund or for providing shareholder support
services. The Plan authorizes FMR to make such payments from its
management fee, its past profits, or any other source available to it,
provided that such payments cannot exceed the amount of the management fee.
The maximum amount payable to Investment Professionals under the Plan, as
determined by the Board of Trustees, is currently at the annual rate of
.38 % of the average net asset value of Class B of the fund for
shareholder support or distribution services.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or
supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling, or
distributing securities. Although the scope of this prohibition under the
Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly defined by the courts or
appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes that the Glass-Steagall Act
should not preclude a bank from performing shareholder support services, or
servicing and recordkeeping functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to
perform such functions. However, changes in federal or state statutes and
regulations pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their
affiliates or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions, if
any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and effective
shareholder services. In such event, changes in the operation of the funds
might occur, including possible termination of any automatic investment or
redemption or other services then provided by the bank. It is not expected
that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on
this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed
herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state law.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities
issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No
preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be
shown in the selection of investments.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION.. U.S. Treasury Portfolio: Class B is a series of
Daily Money Fund, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Delaware business trust on September 29, 1993. The funds acquired all of
the assets of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio, respectively, of Daily Money
Fund on September 29, 1993. Currently, there are six funds of Daily Money
Fund: U.S. Treasury Portfolio; Money Market Portfolio; Treasury Only; and
Capital Reserves: Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and
Municipal Money Market Portfolio. The Trust Instrument permits the Trustees
to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to a fund, the
right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity" may be
withdrawn.
The assets of the Trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the trust. Expenses with respect to the trust are to be
allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective funds, except
where allocations of direct expenses can otherwise be fairly made. The
officers of the trust, subject to the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is a business trust
organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders shall
be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. The courts of some states,
however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust
Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the
debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust and requires
that a disclaimer be given in each contract entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees. The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification
out of the fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Trust Instrument
also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund
and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no contractual
limitation of liability was in effect, and the fund is unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is extremely remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, shall not be personally liable to any person
other than the trust or its shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not
be liable for any conduct whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not
protected against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office. Claims
asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class
of shares to certain liabilities.
VOTING RIGHTS. The fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. Class B Shares have no preemptive rights; the conversion rights,
the voting and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege
of exchange are described in the Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and
non-assessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder and
Trustee Liability" above. Shareholders representing 10% or more of the
trust or a fund may, as set forth in the Trust Instrument, call meetings of
the trust, fund or class for any purpose related to the trust or fund or
class as the case may be, including, in the case of a meeting of the entire
trust, the purpose of voting on removal of one or more Trustees.
The trust or the fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or
merger with, another open-end management investment company, series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such
terminations must be approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the trust or the fund; however, the Trustees may,
without prior shareholder approval, change the form of organization of the
trust by merger, consolidation, or incorporation. If not so terminated or
reorganized, the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause the trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, or cause the trust to be incorporated under
Delaware law, so long as the surviving entity is an open-end management
investment company that will succeed to or assume the trust registration
statement. Each fund may also invest all of its assets in another
investment company.
CUSTODIAN. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, 60 Wall Street, New
York, NY, 10260 is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is
responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of
subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The custodian takes no part in
determining the investment policies of the fund or in deciding which
securities are purchased or sold by the fund. However, the fund may invest
in obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodian. T he Bank of New York and Chemical
Bank, each headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose
custodian of certain assets in connection with pooled repurchase agreement
transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the Board
of Trustees may , from time to time , conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds
advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages
and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms
and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or
potential custodial or other fund relationships.
AUDITOR. serves as the fund's
independent accountant. The auditor examines financial statements for the
funds and provides other audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1995 are included in the fund's Annual Report, which is
a separate report supplied with this Statement of Additional Information.
The fund's financial statements and financial highlights are incorporated
herein by reference.
APPENDIX
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the
fund. The fund may, however, consider the ratings for other types of
investments and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations when
determining the eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following
characteristics:
Leading market positions in well established industries.
High rates of return on funds employed.
Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt
and ample asset protection.
Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and with
high internal cash generation.
Well established access to a range of financial markets and assured
sources of alternate liquidity.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a
lesser degree. Earning trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be
more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still
appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate
liquidity is maintained.
Issuers rated PRIME-3 (or related supporting institutions) have an
acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
The effect of industry characteristics and market composition may be more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in
changes in the level of debt protection measurements and the requirement
for relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
A - Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the
greatest capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are
delineated with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the relative degree of
safety.
A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be denoted with a plus (+)
sign designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues
designated A-1.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Each fund offers investors a convenient and economical way to invest in a
professionally managed portfolio of money market instruments.
Each fund is designed for investors who would like to earn current income
while preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. U.S. Treasury
Portfolio offers an added measure of safety with its focus on U.S.
Government securities.
These funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan. However, because
they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a portion of your
savings. Each fund offers free checkwriting to give you easy access to your
money.
U.S. Treasury Portfolio is composed of two classes of shares. Each class
of the fund has a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
Initial Class shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a distribution
fee. Class B shares do not have a front-end sales charge, but do have a
contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), and pay a distribution fee and a
shareholder service fee. Class B shares are available only by exchange
from Class B of a Fidelity Advisor fund. Because Initial Class shares do
not have a sales charge, have a lower distribution fee and have no
shareholder service fee, Initial Class shares are expected to have a higher
total return than Class B shares. You may obtain more information about
Class B shares, which are not offered through this prospectus, from your
investment professional or by calling Fidelity Client Services at
1-800-843-3001.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy or sell
Initial Class shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and None
reinvested distributions
Maximum deferred sales charge None
Redemption fee None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's Initial Class assets.
Each fund pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR). Each fund also incurs other expenses for services such as
maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements and
financial reports.
12b-1 fees are paid by FMR from its management fee, its past profits or
other source, to the distributor for services and expenses in connection
with the distribution of Initial Class shares. Long-term shareholders may
pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum sales charges
permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., due to
12b-1 fees.
Initial Class's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and
are not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of
Expenses" on page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses of the initial
Class of each fund, and are calculated as a percentage of average net
assets of the Initial Class of each fund.

THESE EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATE THE EFFECT OF EXPENSES, BUT ARE NOT MEANT TO

FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund's Initial Class to the
extent that the management fee, total operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) are in
excess of 0.65% of its average net assets. If these agreements were not in
effect, the management fee, other expenses, and total operating expenses
for each fund's Initial Class would have been the following amounts, as a
percentage of average net assets, __%, ___%, and ___%, respectively, for
U.S. Treasury Portfolio and ___%, ____%, and ____%, respectively, for U.S.
Treasury Portfolio.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights tables that follow and each fund's financial
statements are included in each fund's Annual Report and have been audited
by , independent accountants. Their reports on the financial
statements and financial highlights are included in each Annual Report. The
financial statements, the financial highlights, and the reports are
incorporated by reference into the funds' SAI, which may be obtained free
of charge from Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
[INSERT A TABLE FOR THE/EACH FUND HERE]
PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a fund over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a money
market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market funds
maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields are the most
common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders.
For current performance call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. Each fund is a diversified fund of
Daily Money Fund, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Delaware business trust on September 29, 1993.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review the funds' performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
The transfer agent will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting
card and information about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled
to one vote for each share you own .
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust, respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number
of different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of
financial services and products. The funds employ various Fidelity
companies to perform activities required for their operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs. FMR
Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of __, 1995, FMR advised funds having approximately __million
shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $__ billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC) performs transfer agent servicing functions for the Initial Class
shares of each fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and, FMR Texas. Members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of
shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power
of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act),
control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of
individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company;
therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
U.S. TREASURY PORTFOLIO may invest in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds,
and other direct obligations of the U.S. Government that are guaranteed as
to payment of principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government and in repurchase agreements backed by those obligations.
The fund intends to invest 100% of its total assets in U.S. Treasury bills,
notes and bonds and repurchase agreements backed by those obligations.
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO invests in U.S. dollar-denominated money market
instruments of domestic and foreign issuers. The fund will invest in
securities rated in the highest rating category by at least two nationally
recognized rating services, or by one if only one rating service has rated
an obligation. The fund may purchase unrated obligations determined to be
of equivalent quality pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees. Under normal conditions, the fund will invest more than 25% of
its total assets in obligations of companies in the financial services
industry.
COMMON POLICIES
When you sell your shares of the funds, they should be worth the same
amount as when you bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the
funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds follow
industry-standard guidelines on the quality and maturity of their
investments, which are designed to help maintain a stable $1.00 share
price. The funds will purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks and will observe maturity
restrictions on securities they buy. In general, securities with longer
maturities are more vulnerable to price changes, although they may provide
higher yields. It is possible that a major change in interest rates or a
default on the funds' investments could cause their share prices (and the
value of your investment) to change.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. They stress income,
preservation of capital, and liquidity, and do not seek the higher yields
or capital appreciation that more aggressive investments may provide. Each
fund's yield will vary from day to day and generally reflects current
short-term interest rates and other market conditions.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more detailed information
about each fund's investments are contained in a fund's SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Current holdings and recent investment strategies are described in each
fund's financial reports, which are sent to shareholders twice a year. For
a free SAI or financial report, contact your investment professional or
call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations issued by
the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions, and other
entities. These obligations may carry fixed, variable, or floating
interest rates. A security's credit may be enhanced by a bank, insurance
company, or other entity. Some money market securities employ a trust or
other similar structure to modify the maturity, price characteristics, or
quality of financial assets so that they are eligible investments for money
market funds. If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax
or investment consequences may result.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
securities issued by the Federal Farm Credit Bank or by the Federal
National Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right
to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances.
However, securities issued by the Financing Corporation are supported only
by the credit of the entity that issued them.
FOREIGN SECURITIES may involve different risks than domestic securities,
including risks relating to the political and economic conditions of the
foreign country involved, which could affect the payment of principal or
interest. Issuers of foreign securities include foreign governments,
corporations, and banks.
RESTRICTIONS: U.S. Treasury Portfolio may not invest in foreign
securities. Money Market Portfolio may not invest in foreign securities
unless they are denominated in U.S. dollars.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt security. Their risks are similar to those of other money market
securities, although they may be more volatile.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the issuer
or a financial intermediary. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may pay
periodic fees or accept a lower interest rate. The credit quality of the
investment may be affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider.
Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities, and some other securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS. A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than
10% of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect the market value of a fund's assets.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry. Economic,
business, or political changes can affect all securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Money Market Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in any one issuer, except that the fund may invest up to 10%
of its total assets in the highest quality securities of a single issuer
for up to three business days. These limitations do not apply to U.S.
Government securities.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: Each fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, or engage in reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount
exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING. A fund may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a fund's
total assets. U.S. Treasury Portfolio does not intend to engage in
lending.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
Each fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
Money Market Portfolio, under normal conditions, will invest more than 25%
of its total assets in obligations of companies in the financial services
industry.
Each fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or engage in
reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its
total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a fund's total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of each fund's Initial Class assets are
reflected in that class's share price or dividends; they are neither billed
directly to shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services. Each fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained below.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. Each fund
pays the fee at the annual rate of ___% of its average net assets.
FMR HAS SUB ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR Texas, which has primary
responsibility for providing investment management for each fund, while FMR
retains responsibility for providing each fund with other management
services. For these services, FMR pays FMR Texas 50% of each fund's
management fee (before expense reimbursements but after payments made by
FMR pursuant to each fund's Initial Class Distribution and Service Plan).
FMR paid FMR Texas __% of U.S. Treasury Portfolio's and __% of U.S.
Treasury Portfolio's average net assets for fiscal 1995.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of each fund's annual
operating costs, the funds have other expenses as well.
FIIOC performs certain transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder
services for Initial Class shares. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) calculates
the NAV and dividends for Initial Class shares, and maintains each fund's
general accounting records. In fiscal 1995, fees paid by each fund's
Initial Class to FIIOC were equal to __% and __%, respectively, of average
net assets, and fees paid by each fund to FSC were equal to ____% and
____%, respectively, of average net assets.
Initial Class shares of each fund have adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE
PLAN. Each Plan recognizes that FMR may use its resources, including
management fees, to pay expenses associated with the sale of Initial Class
shares. The Board of Directors authorized FMR to pay FDC a distribution
fee from its management fee revenues, past profits or other resources at an
annual rate up to 0.38% of the Initial Class's average net assets. FMR
currently pays FDC monthly at an annual rate of ___% of each fund's
Initial Class average net assets determined at the close of business on
each day throughout the month.
Each fund pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian fees; in
some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees
who are not affiliated with Fidelity.

[A] BECAUSE THEIR SHARE PRICES FLUCTUATE, THESE FUNDS MAY NOT BE
APPROPRIATE CHOICES FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and are
normally distributed on the first business day of the following month.
Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to Initial Class
shares redeemed during the month can be distributed on the day of
redemption. Each fund reserves the right to limit this service.
Shareholders may elect to receive dividend distributions in cash.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. The funds offer two options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you
will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
For retirement accounts, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 1/2 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
Dividends will be reinvested at each Initial Class's NAV on the last day of
the month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the
NAV as of the record date of the distribution. The mailing of distribution
checks will begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in a fund
will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account,
you should be aware of these tax implications. The following are some of
the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income tax,
and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live outside the
United States, your distributions could also be taxed by the country in
which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when they are paid,
whether you take them in cash or reinvest them. However, distributions
declared in December and paid in January are taxable as if they were paid
on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, each fund's income and short-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions,
if any, are taxed as long-term capital gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally free
from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may limit
this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the benefit. In
addition, some states may impose intangible property taxes. You should
consult your own tax adviser for details and up-to-date information on the
tax laws in your state.
During fiscal 1995, __% of U.S. Treasury Portfolio's and ___% of U.S.
Treasury Portfolio's income distributions were derived from interest on
U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.
Every January, the transfer agent will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a fund may
have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
EACH FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS and its NAV is normally calculated each day
that both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) and the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are open. The following holiday closings have
been scheduled for 1996: New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be
observed in the future, the New York Fed or the NYSE may modify its holiday
schedule at any time. On any day that the New York Fed or the NYSE closes
early, the principal government securities markets close early (such as on
days in advance of holidays generally observed by participants in such
markets), or as permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance the
time on that day by which purchase and redemption orders must be received.
To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days
when the New York Fed or the NYSE is closed, each fund's NAV may be
affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to purchase
or redeem shares. Certain Fidelity funds may follow different holiday
closing schedules.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Initial Class
shares of each fund is computed by adding the Initial Class's pro rata
share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting Initial Class's pro rata share of the value of the fund's
liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the Initial Class,
and dividing the result by the number of Initial Class shares of that fund
that are outstanding. Each fund values its portfolio securities on the
basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a
security's market value and helps each fund maintain a stable $1.00 share
price.
THE OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE (price to
sell one share) of the Initial Class are its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require the fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity may only be
liable for losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it does not
follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the identity of the caller.
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information,
and may also record calls. You should verify the accuracy of the
confirmation statements immediately after receipt. If you do not want the
ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations,
associations and certain fiduciaries.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page 18. Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of a fund.
TO ALLOW FMR TO MANAGE THE FUNDS MOST EFFECTIVELY, you are urged to
initiate all trades as early in the day as possible and to notify Fidelity
Client Services in advance of large transactions.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and
checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to limit the number of
checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be
canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or the
transfer agent has incurred.
Net interest income for dividend purposes is determined by FSC on a daily
basis and shall be payable to shareholders of record at the time of its
declaration (including, for this purpose, holders of Initial Class shares
purchased, but excluding holders of shares redeemed, on that day).
Shareholders of record as of 2:00 p.m. Eastern time will be entitled to
dividends declared that day.
Shares purchased after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (including all purchases by
check) begin to earn income dividends on the following business day.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Shares redeemed before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time do not
receive the dividend declared on the day of redemption. Shares redeemed
after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time do receive the dividends declared on the day
of redemption.
(small solid bullet) A fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is
reasonably assured that investments credited to your account have been
received and collected.
(small solid bullet) If you sell shares by writing a check and the amount
of the check is greater than the value of your account, your check will be
returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
When the NYSE or the New York Fed is closed (or when trading is restricted)
for any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or
under any emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such
action, the fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates. In cases
of suspension of the right of redemption, the request for redemption may
either be withdrawn or payment may be made based on the NAV next determined
after the termination of the suspension.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $500 due to redemption, the account may
be closed and the proceeds may be mailed to your address of record. You
will be given 30 days' notice that your account will be closed unless it is
increased to the minimum.
THE TRANSFER AGENT MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for
shares of other Fidelity funds.
If you have purchased Initial Class shares of a fund in connection with the
Fidelity Advisor funds program, your Initial Class shares may be exchanged
for only Class A shares of Fidelity Advisor funds. Other shareholders may
not exchange Initial Class shares of a fund for Class A shares of Fidelity
Advisor Funds.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of
one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
BY TELEPHONE. Exchanges may be requested on any day a fund is open for
business by contacting your investment professional or call Fidelity Client
Services at 1-800-843-3001 between 8:30 am and 2:00 p.m. Eastern time.
BY MAIL. You may exchange shares on any business day by submitting written
instructions with an authorized signature which is on file for that
account. Written requests for exchanges should contain the fund name,
account number, the number of shares to be redeemed, and the name of the
fund to be purchased. Written requests for exchange should be mailed to
Fidelity Client Services at the address on page 12.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO EXCHANGE SHARES, Initial Class shares will be
redeemed at the next determined NAV after your order is received and
accepted by the transfer agent. Shares of the fund to be acquired will be
purchased at its next determined NAV after redemption proceeds are made
available. You should note that, under certain circumstances, a fund may
take up to seven days to make redemption proceeds available for the
exchange purchase of shares of another fund. In addition, please note the
following:
(small solid bullet) Exchanges will not be permitted until a completed and
signed account application is on file.
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) You will earn dividends in the acquired fund in
accordance with the fund's customary policy, normally on the day the
exchange request is received.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you
pay the percentage difference between that fund's sales charge and any
sales charge you have already paid in connection with the shares you are
exchanging.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Currently, there is no limit on the number of
exchanges out of the fund, nor are there any administrative or redemption
fees applicable to exchanges out of a fund.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS,and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation shall be
determined immediately after and as a result of a fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values,
net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining
whether the investment complies with each fund's investment policies and
limitations.
Each fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940
Act)) of each fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described
in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder
approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF U.S. TREASURY PORTFOLIO
THE FOLLOWING ARE U.S. TREASURY PORTFOLIO'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the government of the United
States, its agencies or instrumentalities) if as a result (a) more than 5%
of its total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer;
provided, however, that with respect to 25% of its total assets, 10% of its
assets may be invested in the securities of an issuer;
(2) issue senior securities except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including
the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any
borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three
days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than the securities issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities), if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments;
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements;
(9) write or purchase any put or call options.
(10) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED WITHOUT
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless
it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount
to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(ii) Subject to revision upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, the fund
does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the
fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance
of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with
futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute
purchasing securities on margin.
(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party. The fund will not purchase any
security while borrowings (excluding reverse repurchase agreements)
representing more than 5% of its total assets are outstanding. The fund
will not borrow from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates if total
outstanding borrowings immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of
the fund's total assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be in vested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal
or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to make loans, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contract.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years' continuous operation;
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development program or leases.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the Trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
(xi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For the fund's policies on quality and maturity, see section entitled
"Quality and Maturity" on page 6.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
THE FOLLOWING ARE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the government of the United
States, its agencies or instrumentalities) if as a result (a) more than 5%
of its total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer;
provided, however, that with respect to 25% of its total assets 10% of its
assets may be invested in the securities of an issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including
the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any
borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three
days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities), if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry, except that the fund will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments;
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements;
(9) write or purchase any put or call options.
(10) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED WITHOUT
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless
it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount
to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(ii) Subject to revision upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, the fund
does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the
fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance
of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with
futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute
purchasing securities on margin.
(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party. The fund will not purchase any
security while borrowings (excluding reverse repurchase agreements)
representing more than 5% of its total assets are outstanding. The fund
will not borrow from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates if total
outstanding borrowings immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of
the fund's total assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be i nvested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal
or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 10% of the
fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for
which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser. (This limitation
does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.)
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contract.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years' continuous operation;
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development program or leases.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the Trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
For the fund's policies on quality and maturity, see the section
entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page 6.
Each fund's investments must be consistent with its investment objective
and policies. Accordingly, not all of the security types and investment
techniques discussed below are eligible investments for each of the funds.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may include
repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and
repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by
deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated
financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities;
short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance
with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews
procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial
institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or
other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent
upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in
certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other
credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be
affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the
originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the
credit support.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by a fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place
after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically,
no interest accrues to the pu rchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, each fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because a fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If a fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When a fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery
basis, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with
respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery
transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, the fund could miss
a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer a loss.
Each fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ISSUERS. Investments may be made in U.S.
dollar-denominated time deposits, certificates of deposit, and bankers'
acceptances of U.S. banks and their branches located outside of the United
States, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and foreign branches
of foreign banks. A fund may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. or foreign issuers, including
U.S. and foreign corporations or other business organizations, foreign
governments, foreign government agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and
foreign financial institutions, including savings and loan institutions,
insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and real estate investment trusts,
as well as banks.
The obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by governmental
regulation. Payment of interest and principal on these obligations may also
be affected by governmental action in the country of domicile of the branch
(generally referred to as sovereign risk). In addition, evidence of
ownership of portfolio securities may be held outside of the United States
and a fund may be subject to the risks associated with the holding of such
property overseas. Various provisions of federal law governing the
establishment and operation of U.S. branches do not apply to foreign
branches of U.S. banks.
Obligations of U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by federal and state
regulation, as well as by governmental action in the country in which the
foreign bank has its head office.
Obligations of foreign issuers involve certain additional risks. These
risks may include future unfavorable political and economic developments,
withholding taxes, seizures of foreign deposits, currency controls,
interest limitations, or other governmental restrictions that might affect
payment of principal or interest, or the ability to honor a credit
commitment. Additionally, there may be less public information available
about foreign entities. Foreign issuers may be subject to less governmental
regulation and supervision than U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers also
generally are not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial
reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by the funds to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities and time deposits to be illiquid.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are valued for
purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation at fair value as determined
in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through
a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, a fund were in a
position where more than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid
securities, it would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the
SEC, each fund has received permission to lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. Interfund loans and
borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of
seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund will lend
through the program only when the returns are higher than those available
from other short-term instruments (such as repurchase agreements), and will
borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than
the cost of bank loans. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher
interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in
repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity
or additional borrowing costs. U.S. Treasury Portfolio does not currently
intend to participate in the program as a lender.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets. For
example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security, or
interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability.
If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any
other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues
presented by structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory
determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax
treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and
timing of distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private orga nization. The value of some or all
municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal
mark et related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of
municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund
may own a municipal security directly or through a participation interest.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the
issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are
subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put
feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability
to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other
guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and
tender options are types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the funds may purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered high-quality, a
security must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in one of the
two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two nationally
recognized rating services (or by one, if only one rating service has rated
the security); or, if unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1), and second tier securities
are those deemed to be in the second highest rating category (e.g.,
Standard & Poor's A-2). Split-rated securities may be determined to be
either first tier or second tier based on applicable regulations.
A fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
securities. In addition, a fund may not invest more than 1% of its total
assets or $1 million (whichever is greater) in the second tier securities
of a single issuer.
A fund currently intends to limit its investments to securities with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a
security, a fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand feature.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incre mental amount which is unrelated
to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. To protect the
fund from the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its
obligation, the securities are held in an account of the fund at a bank,
marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the
sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. While it does not presently
appear pos sible to eliminate all risks from these transactions
(particularly the possibility that the value of the underlying security
will be less than the resale price, as well as delays and costs to a fund
in connection with bankruptcy proceedings), it is each fund's current
policy to engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose
creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time
it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a
period, adverse market conditions were to develop, a fund might obtain a
less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security. However, in general, each fund anticipates holding restricted
securities to maturity or selling them in an exempt transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement. A
fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties whose
creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's assets and may be
viewed as a form of leverage.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." A fund may sell securities short when it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to
the securities sold short. Short sales could be used to protect the net
asset value per share (NAV) of the fund in anticipation of increased
interest rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities
sold short. If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be
required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the
securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such
securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short
sale is outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including
interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing
short sales against the box.
STRIPPED GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Stripped securities are created by
separating the income and principal components of a debt instrument and
selling them separately. U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) are created when the
coupon payments and the principal payment are stripped from an outstanding
Treasury bond by the Federal Reserve Bank. Bonds issued by government
agencies also may be stripped in this fashion.
Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer deposits
a Treasury security or federal agency security with a custodian for
safekeeping and then sells the coupon payments and principal payment that
will be generated by this security. Proprietary receipts, such as
Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities (CATS), Treasury Investment
Growth Receipts (TIGRS), and generic Treasury Receipts (TRs), are stripped
U.S. Treasury securities that are separated into their component parts
through trusts created by their broker sponsors. Bonds issued by government
agencies also may be stripped in this fashion.
Because of the SEC's views on privately stripped government securities, a
fund must evaluate them as it would non-government securities pursuant to
regulatory guidelines applicable to all money market funds. A fund
currently intends to purchase only those privately stripped government
securities that have either received the highest rating from two nationally
recognized rating services (or one, if only one has rated the security) or,
if unrated, have been judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR pursuant to
procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its evaluation of
the credit of a bank or another entity in determining whether to purchase a
security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, insurance or other
source of credit or liquidity. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank
or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public
information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be
subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency
controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to
honor its commitment.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments of
the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide
for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating
rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change
in a designated benchmark rate. Some variable or floating rate securities
have put features.
SHAREHOLDER NOTICE. U.S. Treasury Portfolio intends to invest
100% of its total assets in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and in
repurchase agreements backed by those obligations. This operating policy
may be changed upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.
As an operating policy subject to change only upon approval by the Board of
Trustees and 60 days' prior notice to shareholders, neither fund currently
intends to purchase futures contracts or options on futures contracts.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR has granted investment management authority to
the sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), and the
sub-adviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies
described below. FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction
orders for other investment companies and accounts for which it or its
affiliates act as investment adviser. Securities purchased and sold by a
fund generally will be traded on a net basis (i.e., without commission).
In selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including,
but not limited to, the size and type of the transaction; the nature and
character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the
execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the
broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a
continuing basis; and the reasonableness of any commissions.
The funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds or other accounts over
which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such services
may include advice concerning the value of securities; the advisability of
investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such
broker-dealers may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers,
industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy,
and performance of accounts; effect securities transactions, and perform
functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). FMR
maintains a listing of broker-dealers who provide such services on a
regular basis. However, as many transactions on behalf of the funds are
placed with broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list) without
regard to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to estimate
the proportion of such transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely
because such services were provided. The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) based upon the quality of research and execution services
provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the funds or its other clients, and conversely, such research
provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the funds. The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services. In order to cause
each fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith
that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers,
viewed in terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall
responsibilities to the funds and its other clients. In reaching this
determination, FMR will not attempt to place a specific dollar value on the
brokerage and research services provided, or to determine what portion of
the compensation should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the funds or shares of other Fidelity
funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity Br okerage Services (FBS), subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. From September 1992 through December 1994, FBS
operated under the name Fidelity Brokerage Services Limited, Inc. (FBSL).
As of January 1995, FBSL was converted to an unlimited liability company
and assumed the name FBS. Prior to September 4, 1992, FBSL operated under
the name Fidelity Portfolio Services, Ltd. (FPSL) as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Fidelity International Limited (FIL). Edward C. Johnson 3rd
is Chairman of FIL. Mr. Johnson 3rd, Johnson family members, and various
trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly,
more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfo lio
transactions on behalf of the funds and review the commissions paid by each
fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
During fiscal 1993, 1994, and 1995, the funds paid no fees to brokerage
firms that provided research services.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or
similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no
other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue
to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally
permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business
judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to seek such
recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for each fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is
held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and accounts
are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same
security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or
account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable for each fund. In
some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or
value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions
will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be
said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Fidelity Service Company (FSC) normally determines a fund's NAV at 2:00
p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The valuation of portfolio securities is
determined as of these times for the purpose of computing each fund's NAV.
During periods of declining interest rates, a fund's yield based on
amortized cost valuation may be higher than would result if the fund used
market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply during
periods of rising interest rates.
Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized
cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost
as adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount rather
than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument
may be higher or lower than the price a fund would receive if it sold the
instrument.
Valuing each fund's investments on the basis of amortized cost and use of
the term "money market fund" are permitted pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
1940 Act. Each fund must adhere to certain conditions under Rule 2a-7, as
summarized in the section en titled "Quality and Maturity" on page 6.
The Board of Trustees oversees FMR's adherence to the provisions of Rule
2a-7 and has established procedures designed to stabilize each fund's NAV
at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider
the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would deviate
from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from a
fund's amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other
unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such
corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or
reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair
results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio instruments
prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average
portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind;
establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such other
measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. Yield and total return fluctuate in
response to market conditions and other factors.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute a class's yield for a period, the net change
in value of a hypothetical account containing one share reflects the value
of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period
return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. A fund also may
calculate an effective yield by compounding the base period return over a
one-year period. In addition to the current yield, the funds may quote
yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for
the funds are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by applicable regulations.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a class's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, each class's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment
alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the
portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to
consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates a
class's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates the class's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of
net new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely
be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the
fund's holdings, thereby reducing the class's current yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a class's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the class's NAV
over a stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical
investment in a class over a stated period, and then calculating the
annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same
result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the
period. For example, a cumulative total return of 100% over ten years would
produce an average annual total return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual
rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten
years. While average annual total returns are a convenient means of
comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that a class's
performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and
that average annual total returns represent averaged figures as opposed
to the actual year-to-year performance of a class.
In addition to average annual total returns, a class may quote unaveraged
or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of
redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes
in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these factors
and their contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other
performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or
similar illustration.

Note: If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these periods,
the funds' Initial Class yields would have been ____% and ___%,
respectively; and total returns would have been lower.
The following table shows the income and capital elements of each fund's
Initial Class cumulative total return. The table compares the Initial
Class's return to the record of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of
500 stocks (S&P 500), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost
of living (measured by the Consumer Price Index, or CPI) over the same
period. The CPI information is as of the month end closest to the
initial investment date for each fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are
provided to show how each class's total return compared to the record
of a broad average of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major
industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. Of course, since
each fund invests in short-term fixed-income securities, common stocks
represent a different type of investment from the fund. Common stocks
generally offer greater growth potential than the funds, but generally
experience greater price volatility, which means greater potential for
loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than a
fixed-income investment such as the funds. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA
are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the
funds' returns, do not include the effect of paying brokerage commissions
or other costs of investing.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A class's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as
mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper),
an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of
total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank funds based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a class's performance may
be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance
indices prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these
indices, it is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of
each type of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer
higher potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of
principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a class's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals.
For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising
materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that
compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate
categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or
other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual
funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, a
fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, a
fund does not guarantee your principal or your return, and fund shares are
not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand
their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such
information may include information about current economic, market, and
political conditions; materials that describe general principles of
investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and
goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial
profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of
inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering
investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of
Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical
returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common
stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury
bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of
various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based
on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to
demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
A fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/All
Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(registered trademark),
covers over 749 taxable and 229 U.S. Government money market funds.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing;
brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving
for college or other goals; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit
card. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business
publications and periodicals as they relate to current economic and
political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment
philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular
mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also
reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from
Fidelity Focus, a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity
fund shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
A fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of July 31, 1995, FMR advised over _____billion tax-free fund
assets,_____ billion in money market fund assets, ____ billion in equity
fund assets, ____ billion in international fund assets, and ____ billion in
Spartan fund assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of
money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in
the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates
maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose
of researching and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on
yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing a class's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities or other
property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes, and
will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, each fund is required to give
shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to termina ting or modifying
its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day notification requirement
may be waived if (i) the only effect of a modification would be to reduce
or eliminate an administrative fee, redemption fee, or deferred sales
charge ordinarily payable at the time of an exchange, or (ii) a fund
suspends the redemption of the shares to be exchanged as permitted under
the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, or a fund to be
acquired suspends the sale of its shares because it is unable to invest
amounts effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies.
In the Prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it reserves the
right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases by
any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. Because each fund's income is primarily derived from interest,
dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Short-term capital gains are distributed as dividend income, but do not
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. A portion of each fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. Government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation. Each fund will send each shareholder a
notice in January describing the tax status of dividend and capital gain
distributions (if any) for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund may distribute any net realized
short-term capital gains once a year or more often as necessary, to
maintain its NAV at $1.00 per share. Each fund does not anticipate earning
long-term capital gains on securities held by the fund.
As of July 31, 1995, the fund had a capital loss carryforward
aggregating approximately $____. This loss carryforward, of which $___,
$___, and $___ will expire on July 31,__, ___, and ___, respectively, is
available to offset future capital gains.
STATE AND LOCAL TAX ISSUES. For mutual funds organized as business trusts,
state law provides for a pass-through of the state and local income tax
exemption afforded to direct owners of U.S. Government securities. Some
states limit this to mutual funds that invest a certain amount in U.S.
Government securities, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency backed securities, may not qualify for this
benefit. The tax treatment of your dividend distributions from a fund will
be the same as if you directly owned your proportionate share of the
U.S. Government securities in each fund's portfolio. Because the income
earned on most U.S. Government securities in which each fund invests is
exempt from state and local income taxes, the portion of your dividends
from each fund attributable to these securities will also be free from
income taxes. The exemption from state and local income taxation does not
preclude states from assessing other taxes on the ownership of U.S.
Government securi ties. In a number of states, corporate franchise
(income) tax laws do not exempt interest earned on U.S. Government
securities whether such securities are held directly or through a fund.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may
also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign
securities. Because Money Market Portfolio does not currently anticipate
that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its
total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect
to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal income tax
returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and
avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level,
each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as
on a fiscal year basis. Each fund is treated as a separate entity from the
other funds of Daily Money Fund for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its shareholders,
and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. In
addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and
local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and
local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers
to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes.
Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family
and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting
common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member
employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the
vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which
all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of
Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where
one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common
stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of
the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling
group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
FIIOC, which performs shareholder servicing functions for institutional
customers and funds sold through intermediaries; and Fidelity Investments
Retail Marketing Company, which provides marketing services to various
companies within the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For example, all
personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance, and participation
in initial public offerings is prohibited. In addition, restrictions on
the timing of personal investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds
and on short-term trading have been adopted.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The Trustees and executive officers of the trust are listed below. Except
as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in
the same company for the last five years. Trustees and officers elected or

* Information is as of December 31, 1994 for 206 funds in the complex.
** Interested trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988, the non-interested
Trustees, upon reaching age 72, become eligible to participate in a
retirement program under which they receive payments during their lifetime
from a fund based on their basic trustee fees and length of service. The
obligation of a fund to make such payments are not secured or funded.
Trustees become eligible if, at the time of retirement, they have served on
the Board for at least five years. Currently, Messrs. Ralph S. Saul,
William R. Spaulding, Bertram H. Witham, and David L. Yunich, all former
non-interested Trustees, receive retirement benefits under the program.
On July 31, 1995, the Trustees and officers of each fund owned, in the
aggregate, less than __% of each fund's total outstanding shares.
As of________ the following owned of record or beneficially 5% or more
of outstanding shares of the funds.
A shareholder owning of record or beneficially more than 25% of a fund's
outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That
shareholder's vote could have a more significant effect on matters
presented at a shareholders' meeting than votes of other shareholders.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment
adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs
the investments of each fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing each fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of each fund or FMR
performing services relating to research, statistical, and investment
activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary
for the operation of each fund. These services include providing facilities
for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters, and
other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each
fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal and
state laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund;
and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects
to the Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FIIOC and FSC, each fund, or class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its
expenses, without limitation, that are not assumed by those parties. Each
fund pays for the typesetting, printing and mailing of its proxy material
to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor and
non-interested Trustees. Although each fund's current management contract
provides that each fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices and reports to
shareholders, the trust, on behalf of each fund has entered into a revised
transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, pursuant to which FIIOC bears the cost
of providing these services to existing shareholders of the applicable
class. Other expenses paid by each fund include interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, each fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and
Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares
under federal and state securities laws. Each fund is also liable for such
non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to
which each fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify
its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is each fund's manager pursuant to management contracts dated
September 30, 1993 which were approved by sharehol ders on ___________.
For the services of FMR under each contract, each fund pays FMR a
monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of average net
assets throughout the month. Fees received by FMR for the last three
fiscal years are shown in the table below.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of each
fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses). FMR retains the ability to be
repaid for these expense reimburs ements in the amount that expenses
fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Expense
reimbursements by FMR will increase each fund's total returns and yield and
repayment of the reimbursement by each fund will lower its total returns
and yield.
During the fiscal periods reported, FMR voluntarily agreed subject to
revision or termination, to reimburse the Initial Class of each fund if and
to the extent that the class's aggregate operating expenses, including
management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of its average net
assets. The table below identifies the funds in reimbursement; the level at
which reimbursement began; and the dollar amount reimbursed for each
period.

Money Market Portfolio .%
To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse each
fund if and to the extent that the fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net assets. The
applicable percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next
$70 million, and 1 1/2% of average net assets in excess of $100 million.
When calculating each fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, each
fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
ex penses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan expenses and
custodian fees attributable to investments in foreign securities.
SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR Texas
pursuant to which FMR Texas has primary responsibility for providing
portfolio investment management services to each fund. Under the
sub-advisory agreements, each dated _________, which were approved by
shareholders on ________, FMR pays FMR Texas fees equal to 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with each fund,
after payments by FMR pursuant to each fund's 12b-1 plan, if any. The fees
paid to FMR Texas are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense
reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time. The following table
shows fees FMR paid to FMR Texas on behalf of each fund.

CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
FIIOC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholders' servicing
agent for the funds. FIIOC receives an annual account fee and an
asset-based fee based on account size. With respect to certain retirement
accounts, FIIOC receives asset-based fees only. With respect to certain
other retirement accounts, FIIOC receives annual account fees and
asset-based fees based on fund type.
FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent
services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing,
and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all
other reports, notices, and statements to shareholders, with the exception
of proxy statements. Transfer agent fees, including reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, paid to FIIOC for the fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993
were $__, $___, and $___, respectively.
FSC performs the calculations necessary to determine NAV and dividends for
the Initial Class of each fund, and maintains each fund's accounting
records. The annual fee rates in effect as of July 1, 1991 for these
pricing and bookkeeping services are based on a fund's average net
assets, specifically, .___% for the first $500 million of average net
assets and ____% for average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee
is limited to a minimum of $____ and a maximum of $750,000 per year.
Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including related out-of-pocket expenses,
paid to FSC for the past three fiscal years were as follows:

Money Market Portfolio
Each fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements call
for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business,
to secure purchasers for shares of each fund, which are continuously
offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with
the offer and sale of shares are paid by FDC.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the
Initial Class of each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may
not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of a fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the Initial Class of the funds
and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute
direct or indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.
Pursuant to the Plans, FDC is paid a distribution fee at an annual rate of
up to 0.38% of the average net assets of each fund's Initial Class
determined as of the close of business on each day throughout the
month.
The following chart shows distribution fees paid by FMR on behalf of the
Initial Class of each fund for the past three years:
Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended

U.S. Treasury Portfolio $ $ $
Money Market Portfolio -- --
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the funds to FMR is
deemed to be indirect financing by the funds of the distribution of their
shares, such payment is authorized by the Plans. Each Plan also
specifically recognizes that FMR, either directly or through FDC, may use
its management fee revenue, past profits or other resources, without
limitation, to pay promotional and administrative expenses in connection
with the offer and sale of shares of each fund. In addition, each Plan
provides that FMR may use its resources, including its management fee
revenues, to reimburse FDC for payments made to third parties that
assist in selling shares of each fund, or to third parties, including
banks, that render shareholder support services.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of each Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
each fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that
each Plan does not authorize payments by Initial Class of each fund other
than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To
the extent that each plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of shares of the applicable class of each
fund, additional sales of fund shares may result. Furthermore, certain
shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the
Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.
None of the Plans provide for specific payments by the Initial Class of
any of the expenses of FDC, or obligates FDC or FMR to perform any
specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any specific
level of expense in connection with distribution activities. After
payments by FDC for advertising, marketing and distribution, and payments
to third parties, the amounts remaining, if any, may be used as FDC elects.
Each Plan was approved by Initial Class shareholders on March 24, 1993.
Each Plan was approved by shareholders, in connection with a reorganization
transaction on September 29, 1993, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Conversion.
Each Plan allows FMR to make payments to certain third parties with whom
FDC has entered into written Service Contracts and who assist or have
assisted in selling Initial Class shares of the fund or who provide
shareholder support services ("Investment Professionals"), for assistance
in selling Initial Class shares of the fund or for providing shareholder
support services. Each Plan authorizes FMR to make such payments from
its management fee, its past profits or any other source available to it,
provided that such payments cannot exceed the amount of the management fee.
The maximum amount payable to investment professionals under each Plan,
as determined by the Board of Trustees, is currently at the annual rate of
0.38% of the average net asset value of the applicable class for
shareholder support or distribution services.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or
supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling, or
distributing securities. Although the scope of this prohibition under the
Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly defined by the courts or
appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes that the Glass-Steagall Act
should not preclude a bank from performing shareholder support services, or
servicing and recordkeeping functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to
perform such functions. However, changes in federal or state statutes and
regulations pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their
affiliates or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions, if
any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and effective
shareholder services. In such event, changes in the operation of the funds
might occur, including possible termination of any automatic investment or
redemption or other services then provided by the bank. It is not expected
that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on
this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed
herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities
issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans.
No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be
shown in the selection of investments.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. . Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Treasury
Portfolio are funds of Daily Money Fund, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on September 29, 1993. The
funds acquired all of the assets of the_______________, respectively, of
____ on _____. Currently, there are six funds of Daily Money Fund: U.S.
Treasury Portfolio; Money Market Portfolio; Treasury Only; and Capital
Reserves: Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and Municipal
Money Market Portfolio. The Trust Instrument permits the Trustees to create
additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to a fund, the
right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity" may be
withdrawn. There is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable
for any misstatement in its prospectus or statement of additional
information about another fund.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the trust. Expenses with respect to the trust are to be
allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective funds, except
where allocations of direct expense can otherwise be fairly made. The
officers of the trust, subject to the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is a business trust
organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders
shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. The courts of some
states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The
Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability
for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust and
requires that a disclaimer be given in each contract entered into or
executed by the trust or the Trustees. The Trust Instrument provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former
shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The
Trust Instrument also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume
the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of
a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability
is limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no
contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and the fund is unable
to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk
of personal liability to shareholders is extremely remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, shall not be personally liable to any person
other than the trust or its shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not
be liable for any conduct whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not
protected against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office. Claims
asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class
of shares to certain liabilities.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. Initial Class shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; the
voting and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of
exchange are described in the Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and
nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder and
Trustee Liability" above. Shareholders representing 10% or more of the
trust, a fund or a class may, as set forth in the Trust Instrument, call
meetings of the trust, fund, or class for any purpose related to the trust,
fund or class, as the case may be, including, in the case of a meeting of
the entire trust, the purpose of voting on removal of one or more Trustees.
The trust or any fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or
merger with, another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such
terminations must be approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the trust or the fund; however, the Trustees may,
without prior shareholder approval, change the form of organization of the
trust by merger, consolidation, or incorporation. If not so terminated or
reorganized, the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause the trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, or cause the trust to be incorporated under
Delaware law, so long as the surviving entity is an open-end management
investment company that will succeed to or assume the trust registration
statement. Each fund may invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
CUSTODIAN. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, 60 Wall Street, New
York, New York 10260, is custodian of the assets of each fund. The
custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the
appointment of the subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The custodian
takes no part in determining the investment policies of a fund or in
deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund. However, a fund
may invest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities
from or sell securities to the custodian. The Bank of New York and
Chemical Bank, each headquartered in New York, also may serve as a
special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with pooled
repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the Board
of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various
banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by
FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal
and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and
conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or
potential custodial or other fund relationships.
AUDITOR. , serves as the funds' independent accountant. The
auditor examines financial statements for the funds and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1995 are included in the fund's Annual Report, which is
a separate report supplied with this SAI. Each fund's financial statements
and financial highlights are incorporated herein by reference.
APPENDIX
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the
funds. The funds may, however, consider the ratings for other types of
investments and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations when
determining the eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S COMMERCIAL PAPER
RATINGS:
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following
characteristics:
Leading market positions in well established industries.
High rates of return on funds employed.
Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and
ample asset protection.
Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and with high
internal cash generation.
Well established access to a range of financial markets and assured
sources of alternate liquidity.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a
strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This
will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but
to a lesser degree. Earning trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will
be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still
appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate
liquidity is maintained.
Issuers rated PRIME-3 (or related supporting institutions) have an
acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
The effect of industry characteristics and market composition may be more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in
changes in the level of debt protection measurements and the requirement
for relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S COMMERCIAL PAPER
RATINGS:
A - Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the
greatest capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are
delineated with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the relative degree of
safety.
A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be denoted
with a plus (+) sign designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.
A-3 - This designation indicates that the capacity for timely
payment is satisfactory. These issues are, however, somewhat more
vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than
obligations carrying the higher designations.
B - Issues rated B are regarded as having only adequate capacity for
timely payment. However, such capacity may be damaged by changing or
short-term adversities.
C - This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a
doubtful capacity for payment.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is
used when interest or principal payments are not made on the date due even
if the applicable period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such
payments will be made during such grace period.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Each fund offers individual and institutional investors a convenient and
economical way to invest in professionally managed portfolios of money
market instruments.
Each fund is designed for those investors who would like to earn current
income (tax-free income in the case of Municipal Money Market Portfolio)
while preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. U.S.
Government Portfolio offers an added measure of safety with its focus on
U.S. Government securities.
None of the funds constitutes a balanced investment plan. However, because
they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a portion of your
savings. Each fund offers free checkwriting to give you easy access to your
money.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy or sell
shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and None
reinvested distributions
Maximum deferred sales None
charge
Redemption fee None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each fund
pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). Each
fund also incurs other expenses for services such as maintaining
shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements and financial
reports.
12b-1 fees are paid by each fund to the distributor for services and
expenses in connection with the distribution of each fund's shares.
Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the
maximum sales charges permitted by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., due to 12b-1 fees.
Each fund's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses"

FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund to the extent that total
operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses) are in excess of .99% of its average net assets. If
these agreements were not in effect, the management fees and total
operating expenses of each fund would have been the following amounts, as a

___% and ___% for U.S. Government Portfolio, and ___% and ___% for
Municipal Money Market Portfolio.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights tables that follow for each fund and each fund's
financial statements are included in the funds' Annual Report and have been
audited by ______, independent accountants. Their reports on the financial
statements and financial highlights are included in the Annual Report. The
financial statements, the financial highlights, and the reports are
incorporated by reference into the funds' SAI, which may be obtained free
of charge from National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC).
PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a fund over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have to earn before
taxes to equal a tax-free yield.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a money
market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market funds
maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields are the most
common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders.
For current performance call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. Each fund is a diversified fund of
Daily Money Fund, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Delaware business trust on September 29, 1993.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review the funds' performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
The transfer agent will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting
card and information about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled
to one vote for each share you own.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number
of different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of
financial services and products. The funds employ various Fidelity
companies to perform activities required for their operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs. FMR
Texas, Inc.(FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of _____, 1995, FMR advised funds having approximately __million
shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $__ billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
NFSC distributes and markets Fidelity's funds and services. Fidelity
Investments Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC) performs transfer
agent servicing functions for the funds.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FMR Texas. Members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of
shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power
of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act),
control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of
individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company;
therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is Municipal Money Market Portfolio's transfer agent,
although it employs FIIOC to perform these functions for the fund. UMB is
located at 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO invests in high quality, short-term U.S. dollar
denominated obligations of domestic and foreign issuers. Under normal
conditions, the fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in
obligations of companies in the financial services industry.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO invests only in obligations issued or guaranteed
as to principal and interest by the U.S Government, including U.S. Treasury
bills, notes, and bonds. The fund may also engage in repurchase agreements
backed by these obligations. The fund will only invest in obligations
issued by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities that are backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States.
MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO invests in high-quality, short-term
municipal obligations, whose interest payments are exempted from federal
income tax. Under normal conditions, the fund will invest so that at least
80% of its income is exempt from federal income tax. The fund may also
invest up to 100% of its total assets in municipal obligations that are
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR normally invests Municipal Money Market Portfolio's assets according to
its investment strategy and does not expect to invest in federally taxable
obligations. The fund reserves the right to hold a substantial amount of
uninvested cash or to invest more than normally permitted in federally
taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.
COMMON POLICIES
When you sell your shares of the funds, they should be worth the same
amount as when you bought them. Of course there is no guarantee that the
funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds follow
industry-standard guidelines on the quality and maturity of their
investments, which are designed to help maintain a stable $1.00 share
price. The funds will purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks and will observe maturity
restrictions on securities they buy. In general, securities with longer
maturities are more vulnerable to price changes, although they may provide
higher yields. It is possible that a major change in interest rates or a
default on the funds' investments could cause their share prices (and the
value of your investment) to change.
If you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, you should note
that Municipal Money Market Portfolio may invest all of its assets in
municipal securities issued to finance private activities. The interest
from these investments is a tax-preference item for purposes of the tax.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. Each fund stresses
income (tax-free income in the case of Municipal Money Market Portfolio),
preservation of capital, and liquidity, and do not seek the higher yields
or capital appreciation that more aggressive investments may provide. Each
fund's yield will vary from day to day and generally reflects current
short-term interest rates and other market conditions. It is important to
note that neither the funds nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more detailed information
about each fund's investments are contained in the funds' SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Current holdings and recent investment strategies are described in each
fund's financial reports, which are sent to shareholders twice a year. For
a free SAI or financial report, call Fidelity Client Services at
1-800-843-3001 or your investment professional.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations issued by
the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions, municipalities,
local and state governments, and other entities. These obligations may
carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some money market
securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify the
maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so that
they are eligible investments for money market funds. A security's credit
may be enhanced by a bank, insurance company, or other entity. If the
structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
securities issued by the Federal Farm Credit Bank or by the Federal
National Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right
to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances.
However, securities issued by the Financing Corporation are supported only
by the credit of the entity that issued them.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all
municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal
market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of
municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund
may own a municipal security directly or through a participation interest.
FOREIGN SECURITIES may involve different risks than domestic securities,
including risks relating to the political and economic conditions of the
foreign country involved, which could affect the payment of principal or
interest. Issuers of foreign securities include foreign governments,
corporations, and banks.
RESTRICTIONS: U.S. Government Portfolio may not invest in foreign
securities. Money Market Portfolio and Municipal Money Market Portfolio
may not invest in foreign securities unless they are denominated in U.S.
dollars.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt security. Their risks are similar to those of other money market
securities, although they may be more volatile.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire land,
equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making payments or
transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose
value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S. territories and
possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their
political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the issuer
or a financial intermediary. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may pay
periodic fees or accept a lower interest rate. The credit quality of the
investment may be affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider.
Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For example,
industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and resource
recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The viability of a
project or tax incentives could affect the value and credit quality of
these securities.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities, and some other securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect the market value of a fund's assets.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry, or type of
project. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all
securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Money Market Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in any one issuer, except that the fund may invest up to 25%
of its total assets in the highest quality securities of a single issuer
for up to three business days.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Municipal Money Market Portfolio
may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total
assets would be invested in the securities of a single issuer. The fund may
invest more than 25% of its total assets in tax-free securities that
finance similar types of projects.
These limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio may
borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or engage in reverse
repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total
assets. Municipal Money Market Portfolio may borrow only for temporary or
emergency purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total
assets.
LENDING The funds may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a fund's
total assets. U.S. Government Portfolio and Municipal Money Market
Portfolio do not intend to engage in lending.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
Money Market Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in
money market instruments. Under normal conditions, the fund will invest
more than 25% of its total assets in obligations of companies in the
financial services industry.
U.S. Government Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in
money market instruments.
Municipal Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide investors with as high a
level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, as is consistent
with a portfolio of high-quality, short-term municipal obligations selected
on the basis of preservation of captal and liquidity. Under normal
conditions, the fund will invest so that at least 80% of its income is
exempt from federal income tax.
Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio may borrow only for
temporary or emergency purposes, or engage in reverse repurchase
agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
Municipal Money Market Portfolio may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of each fund's assets are reflected in that
fund's share price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to
shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services. Each fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained below.
MANAGEMENT FEE
FMR HAS SUB ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR Texas, which has primary
responsibility for providing investment management for each fund, while FMR
retains responsibility for providing each fund with other management
services. For these services, FMR pays FMR Texas 50% of each fund's
management fee (before expense reimbursements but after payments made by
FMR pursuant to each fund's Distribution and Service Plan). FMR paid FMR
Texas __% of Money Market Portfolio's, __% of U.S. Government Portfolio's,
and __% of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's average net assets for fiscal
year ended July 31, 1995.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of each fund's annual
operating costs, the funds have other expenses as well.
FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing functions for Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) calculates the NAV and dividends for
Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, maintains the general
accounting records for Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio.
In fiscal 1995, Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Government
Portfolio paid FIIOC fees equal to ___% and ___%, respectively , of each
funds average net assets, and Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio paid FSC fees equal to ___% and ___%, respectively, of each funds
average net assets.
UMB has entered into sub-arrangements pursuant to which FIIOC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder services for Municipal
Money Market Portfolio. UMB has entered into sub-arrangements pursuant to
which FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for Municipal Money Market
Portfolio, and maintains the fund's general accounting records. All of the
fees are paid to FIIOC and FSC by UMB, which is reimbursed by Municipal
Money Market Portfolio for such payments.
In fiscal 1995, fees paid by UMB to FIIOC on behalf of Municipal Money
Market Portfolio amounted to _% of its average net assets. In fiscal 1995,
fees paid by UMB to FSC on behalf of Municipal Money Market Portfolio
amounted to _% of its average net assets.
Each fund has adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Under the Plan, each
fund is authorized to pay NFSC a monthly distribution fee as compensation
for its services and expenses in connection with the distribution of shares
of each fund, and providing personal service to and/or maintenance of
shareholder accounts. Each fund may pay NFSC a distribution fee at an
annual rate up to 0.40% of the average net assets of the fund, or such
lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Each fund
currently pays NFSC monthly at an annual rate of 0.35% of its average net
assets determined at the close of business on each day throughout the
month. The distribution fee may be increased only when the Trustees believe
that it is in the best interest of each fund's shareholders to do so.
The Plan also specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its
management fee revenue, past profits or other resources to reimburse NFSC
for payments made to investment professionals for their services to the
funds' shareholders. The Board of Trustees has authorized such payments.
Investment professionals may receive up to 0.25% of a fund's average net
assets based upon the level of shareholder support and distribution
services provided.
Each fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of
trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity.

except a reinvestment, that affects your account balance or your account
registration)
(small solid bullet) Account statements (monthly)
(small solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months)
To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports will be mailed,
even if you have more than one account in a fund. Call 1-800-843-3001 if
you need additional copies of financial reports or historical account
information.
SUB-ACCOUNTING AND SPECIAL SERVICES. Special processing has been arranged
with FIIOC for institutions that wish to open multiple accounts (a master
account and sub-accounts). You may be required to enter into a separate
agreement with FIIOC. Charges for these services, if any, will be
determined based on the level of services to be rendered.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and are
normally distributed on the first business day of the following month.
Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to shares redeemed
during the month can be distributed on the day of redemption. Each fund
reserves the right to limit this service. Shareholders may elect to receive
dividend distributions in cash.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. The funds offer two options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If
you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this
option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a wire for your dividend and capital gain
gain distributions, if any.
For retirement accounts, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over age 59 1/2 years old, you can receive distributions in
cash.
Dividends will be reinvested at each fund's NAV on the last day of the
month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the NAV as
of the record date of the distribution. The mailing of distribution checks
will begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in the funds
could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications. If your
account is not a tax-deferred retirement account, be aware of these tax
implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that Municipal Money Market
Portfolio earns is distributed to shareholders as income dividends.
Interest that is federally tax-free remains tax-free when it is
distributed. Distributions from Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio, however, are subject to federal income tax and may also be
subject to state or local taxes. If you live outside the United States,
your distributions from these funds could also be taxed by the country in
which you reside.
For federal tax purposes, Money Market Portfolio's and U.S. Government
Portfolio's income and short-term capital gain distributions are taxed as
dividends; long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as
long-term capital gains.
However, for shareholders of Municipal Money Market Portfolio, gain on the
sale of tax-free bonds results in taxable distributions. Short-term capital
gains and a portion of the gain on bonds purchased at a discount are taxed
as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as
long-term capital gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally free
from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may limit
this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the benefit. In
addition, some states may impose intangible property taxes. You should
consult your own tax adviser for details and up-to-date information on the
tax laws in your state.
During fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, __% of U.S. Government Portfolio's
income distributions was derived from interest on U.S. Government
securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash
or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and paid in
January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
Every January, the transfer agent will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
The interest from some municipal securities is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Municipal Money Market Portfolio may invest up to
100% of its assets in these securities. Individuals who are subject to the
tax must report this interest on their tax returns.
A portion of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's dividends may be free from
state or local taxes. Income from investments in your state are often
tax-free to you. Each year, the transfer agent will send you a breakdown of
Municipal Money Market Portfolio's income from each state to help you
calculate your taxes.
During fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, __% of Municipal Money Market
Portfolio's income dividends was free from federal income tax. And during
fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, ___% of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's
income dividends was subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a fund may
have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
EACH FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS and its NAV is normally calculated each day
that both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) (for Money
Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio) or the Federal Reserve Bank
of Kansas City (Kansas City Fed) (for Municipal Money Market Portfolio) and
the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are open. The following holiday closings
have been scheduled for 1996: New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be
observed in the future, the Kansas City Fed, the New York Fed, or the NYSE
may modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day that the Kansas
City Fed, New York Fed, or the NYSE closes early, the principal government
securities markets close early (such as on days in advance of holidays
generally observed by participants in such markets), or as permitted by the
SEC, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day by which
purchase and redemption orders must be received.
To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days
when the Kansas City Fed, the New York Fed, or the NYSE is closed, each
fund's NAV may be affected on days when investors do not have access to the
fund to purchase or redeem shares. Certain Fidelity funds may follow
different holiday closing schedules.
EACH FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding. Each fund values its portfolio securities on the basis
of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a
security's market value and helps each fund maintain a stable $1.00 share
price.
THE OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE (price to
sell one share) of each fund are its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity and the transfer
agent may only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized
transactions if they do not follow reasonable procedures designed to verify
the identity of the caller. Fidelity and the transfer agent will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. You should verify the accuracy of the confirmation statements
immediately after receipt. If you do not want the ability to redeem and
exchange by telephone, call the transfer agent for instructions. Additional
documentation may be required from corporations, associations and certain
fiduciaries.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH THE TRANSFER AGENT BY PHONE (for example, during
periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page __. Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of a fund.
TO ALLOW FMR TO MANAGE THE FUNDS MOST EFFECTIVELY, you are urged to
initiate all trades as early in the day as possible and to notify Fidelity
Client Services in advance of large transactions.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and
checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) The funds do not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to limit the number of
checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be
canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or the
transfer agent has incurred.
Net interest income for dividend purposes is determined by FSC on a daily
basis and shall be payable to shareholders of record at the time of its
declaration (including, for this purpose, holders of shares purchased, but
excluding holders of shares redeemed, on that day).
Shareholders of record as of 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (12:00 p.m. Eastern
time for Municipal Money Market Portfolio) will be entitled to dividends
declared that day.
Shares purchased by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (including all purchases by
check) begin to earn income dividends on the following business day.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Shares redeemed before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (12:00
noon Eastern time for redemptions from Municipal Money Market Portfolio) do
not receive the dividend declared on the day of redemption. Shares redeemed
before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time do receive the dividends declared on the day
of redemption.
(small solid bullet) A fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is
reasonably assured that investments credited to your account have been
received and collected.
(small solid bullet) If you sell shares by writing a check and the amount
of the check is greater than the value of your account, your check will be
returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
When the NYSE, the Kansas City Fed, or the New York Fed is closed (or when
trading is restricted) for any reason other than its customary weekend or
holiday closings, or under any emergency circumstances as determined by the
SEC to merit such action, a fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment
dates. In cases of suspension of the right of redemption, the request for
redemption may either be withdrawn or payment may be made based on the NAV
next determined after the termination of the suspension.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $500 due to redemption, the account may
be closed and the proceeds may be mailed to your address of record. You
will be given 30 days' notice that your account will be closed unless it is
increased to the minimum.
THE TRANSFER AGENT MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for
shares of other Fidelity funds
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of
one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
BY TELEPHONE. Exchanges may be requested on any day a fund is open for
business by calling Fidelity Institutional Trading at the number listed on
page 13 between 8:30 am and 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (12:00 noon Eastern time
for exchanges from Municipal Money Market Portfolio).
BY MAIL. You may exchange shares on any business day by submitting written
instructions with an authorized signature which is on file for that
account. Written requests for exchanges should contain the fund name,
account number, the number of shares to be redeemed, and the name of the
fund to be purchased. Written requests for exchange should be mailed to
Fidelity Client Services at the address on p. 13.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO EXCHANGE SHARES, shares will be redeemed at the
next determined NAV after your order is received and accepted by the
transfer agent. Shares of the fund to be acquired will be purchased at its
next determined NAV after redemption proceeds are made available. You
should note that, under certain circumstances, a fund may take up to seven
days to make redemption proceeds available for the exchange purchase of
shares of another fund. In addition, please note the following:
(small solid bullet) Exchanges will not be permitted until a completed and
signed account application is on file.
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) You will earn dividends in the acquired fund in
accordance with the fund's customary policy, normally on the day the
exchange request is received.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you
pay the percentage difference between that fund's sales charge and any
sales charge you have already paid in connection with the shares you are
exchanging.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Currently, there is no limit on the number of
exchanges out of a fund, nor are there any administrative or redemption
fees applicable to exchanges out of a fund.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.
No dealer, sales representative or any other person has been authorized to
give any information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in this Prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the fund or NFSC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do not
constitute an offer by the fund or by NFSC to sell or to buy shares of the
fund to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation shall be
determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values,
net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining
whether the investment complies with a fund's investment policies and
limitations.
A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations may not be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act))
of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations
listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI
are not fundamental, and may be changed without shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
THE FOLLOWING ARE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a

the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary

reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including
the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any
borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three
days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or

business activities are in the same industry, except that the fund will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry;

securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than
33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same

that the fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the first tier
securities of a single issuer for up to three business days.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless

short.
(iii) Subject to revision upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, the
fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except
that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the
clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection

constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party. The fund will not purchase any security while borrowings

contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 10% of the

than three years of continuous operation.

securities issued by other open-end investment companies. This limitation
does not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.

mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with

attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.

or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S.
territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political
subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the
fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than
33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL, AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless
it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount
to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(ii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for
purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. The fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
(iii) Subject to revision upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, the
fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except
that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the
clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection
with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not
constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements
or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
securities.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years of continuous operation.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. This limitation
does not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.
For the funds' policies on quality and maturity, see the section entitled
"Quality and Maturity" on page _.
Each fund's investments must be consistent with its investment objective
and policies. Accordingly, not all of the security types and investment
techniques discussed below are eligible investments for each of the funds.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may include
repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and
repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by
deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated
financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities;
short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance
with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews
procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial
institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or
other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent
upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in
certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other
credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be
affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the
originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the
credit support.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by a fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after
the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, each fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because a fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If a fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When a fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery
basis, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with
respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery
transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, the fund could miss
a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer a loss.
Each fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ISSUERS. Investments may be made U.S.
dollar-denominated time deposits, certificates of deposit, and bankers'
acceptances of U.S. banks and their branches located outside of the United
States, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and foreign branches
of foreign banks. A fund may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. or foreign issuers, including
U.S. and foreign corporations or other business organizations, foreign
governments, foreign government agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and
foreign financial institutions, including savings and loan
institu tions, insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and real estate
investment trusts, as well as banks.
The obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by governmental
regulation. Payment of interest and principal on these obligations may also
be affected by governmental action in the country of domicile of the branch
(generally referred to as sovereign risk). In addition, evidence of
ownership of fund securities may be held outside of the United States and a
fund may be subject to the risks associated with the holding of such
property overseas. Various provisions of federal law governing the
establishment and operation of U.S. branches do not apply to foreign
branches of U.S. banks.
Obligations of U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by federal and state
regulation, as well as by governmental action in the country in which the
foreign bank has its head office.
Obligations of foreign issuers involve certain additional risks. These
risks may include future unfavorable political and economic developments,
withholding taxes, seizures of foreign deposits, currency controls,
interest limitations, or other governmental restrictions that might affect
payment of principal or interest, or the ability to honor a credit
commitment. Additionally, there may be less public information available
about foreign entities. Foreign issuers may be subject to less
gov ernmental regulation and supervision than U.S. issuers. Foreign
issuers also generally are not bound by uniform accounting auditing, and
financial reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S.
issuers.
FEDERALLY TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS. Under normal conditions, Municipal Money
Market Portfolio does not intend to invest in securities whose interest is
federally taxable. However, from time to time on a temporary basis,
Municipal Money Market Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in
fixed-income obligations whose interest is subject to federal income tax.
Should Municipal Money Market Portfolio invest in federally taxable
obligations, it would purchase securities that, in FMR's judgment, are of
high quality. These obligations would include those issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase
agreements backed by such obligations.
Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations are introduced before Congress from time
to time. Proposals also may be introduced before state legislatures that
would affect the state tax treatment of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's
distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of
municipal obligations and the value of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's
holdings would be affected and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's
investment objectives and policies.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by the funds to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities, municipal lease obligations, and time deposits to be illiquid.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are valued for
purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation at fair value as determined
in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through
a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, a fund were in a
position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid
securities, it would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order
issued by the SEC, each fund has received permission to lend money to, and
borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. Municipal
Money Market Portfolio will participate in the interfund borrowing program
only as a borrower. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio will lend through the program only when the returns are higher
than those available from other short-term instruments (such as repurchase
agreements). A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are
equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. A fund may have to borrow
from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not
renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs. U.S. Government
Portfolio does not currently intend to participate in the program as a
lender.
MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities may be
affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or
litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of
municipal securities holders in the event of bankruptcy. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could
produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities
issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the
municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the
market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of
these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all
of the municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for
the fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets. For
example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security, or
interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability.
If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any
other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues
presented by structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory
determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax
treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and
timing of distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the form of
a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are
issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a
wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, the funds will not
hold such obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will
purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or
other third party. A participation interest gives a fund a specified,
undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased
interest in the total amount of the obligation.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with
general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set
forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt.
These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale
requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts
(which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the
governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to
acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and
statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts
include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer
has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation
clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal
securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related
to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities
or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund may own a municipal
security directly or through a participation interest.
MUNICIPAL SECTORS:
EDUCATION. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds;
those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and
universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans.
Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to
the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of
decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding.
Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are
restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and
federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue
bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or
commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student
loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to
reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its
guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans
made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms
of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be
applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on
program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan
revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of
student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student
repayment deferral during periods of forbearance. Other risks associated
with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal
legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency
reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies
currently in effect.
ELECTRIC UTILITIES INDUSTRY. The electric utilities industry has been
experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive
pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission
access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to
what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the
availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital,
(c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of
rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and
other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate
increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.
HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. The health care industry is subject to regulatory
action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal,
state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the
health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and
reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other
factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic
conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance
premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the
following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations:
adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program;
other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological
advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way
in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which
alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by
employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of
health insurance and health care services.
HOUSING. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county,
city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are
secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds
of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of
available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the
future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are
risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of
bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow.
Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects,
including acceptable completion of construction, proper management,
occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws
and regulations.
TRANSPORTATION. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the
construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit
facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the
airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the
airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and
is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are
also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels,
the presence of competing roads and general economic health of an area.
Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related
securities, as do the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such
as public transportation.
WATER AND SEWER. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to
have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance,
monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite
this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack
is a concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to
rate increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental
mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or
third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are subject to the
risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the
security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on
demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other
entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are
types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the funds may purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered high-quality, a
security must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in one of the
two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two nationally
recognized rating services (or by one, if only one rating service has rated
the security); or, if unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1 or SP-1), and second tier
securities are those deemed to be in the second highest rating category
(e.g., Standard & Poor's A-2 or SP-2). Split rated securities may be
determined to be either first tier or second tier based on applicable
regulations.
Each of Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio may not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier securities. In
addition, each of Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio may
not invest more than 1% of its total assets or $1 million (whichever is
greater) in the second tier securities of a single issuer.
A fund currently intends to limit investments to securities with remaining
maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted average
maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a security, a
fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand feature.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to
the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. To protect the fund
from the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in an account of the fund at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the
accrued incremental amount. While it does not presently appear possible to
eliminate all risks from these transactions (particularly the possibility
that the value of the underlying security will be less than the resale
price, as well as delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy
proceedings), it is each fund's current policy to engage in repurchase
agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been
reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time
it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a
period, adverse market conditions were to develop, a fund might obtain a
less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security. However, in general, each fund anticipates holding restricted
securities to maturity or selling them in an exempt transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement. A
fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties whose
creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's assets and may be
viewed as a form of leverage.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX". A fund may sell securities short when it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind or amount to
the securities sold short. Short sales could be used to protect the net
asset value per share of a fund in anticipation of increased interest
rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities sold short.
If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to
set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold
short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and
will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is
outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales
against the box.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its evaluation
of the credit of a bank or another entity in determining whether to
purchase a security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, insurance or
other source of credit or liquidity. In evaluating the credit of a foreign
bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public
information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be
subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency
controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its
ability to honor its commitment.
STRIPPED GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Stripped securities are created by
separating the income and principal components of a debt instrument and
selling them separately. U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) are created when the
coupon payments and the principal payment are stripped from an outstanding
Treasury bond by the Federal Reserve Bank. Bonds issued by government
agencies may also be stripped in this fashion.
Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer
deposits a Treasury security or federal agency security with a custodian
for safekeeping and then sells the coupon payments and principal payment
that will be generated by this security. Proprietary receipts, such as
Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities (CATS), Treasury Investment
Growth Receipts (TIGRS), and generic Treasury Receipts (TRs), are stripped
U.S. Treasury securities that are separated into their component parts
through trusts created by their broker sponsors. Bonds issued by government
agencies may also be stripped in this fashion.
Because of the SEC's views on privately stripped government securities, a
fund must evaluate them as it would non-government securities pursuant to
regulatory guidelines applicable to all money market funds. A fund
currently intends to purchase only those privately stripped government
securities that have either received the highest rating from two nationally
recognized rating services (or one, if only one has rated the security) or,
if unrated, have been judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR pursuant to
procedures adopted by the Board of Truste es.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments of
the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide
for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating
rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change
in a designated benchmark rate. Some variable or floating rate securities
have put features.
SHAREHOLDER NOTICE U.S. Government Portfolio, invests only in
obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S.
Government, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The fund may
also engage in repurchase agreements. The fund will only invest in
obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities that
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. These
operating policies may be changed upon 90 days' notice to shareholders.
As an operating policy, subject to change only upon approval by the Board
of Trustees and 60 days' prior notice to shareholders, each of Money Market
Portfolio, U.S. Goverment Portfolio and Municipal Money Market Portfolio
currently do not intend to purchase futures contracts or options on futures
contrtacts.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of the funds by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the fund's
management contract. FMR has granted investment management authority to the
sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), and the
sub-adviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies
described below. FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction
orders for other investment companies and accounts for which it or its
affiliates act as investment adviser. Securities purchased and sold by the
fund generally will be traded on a net basis (i.e., without commission). In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal
securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including, but not
limited to, the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character
of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution
efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the
broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a
continuing basis; and the reasonableness of any commissions.
The funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds or other accounts over
which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such services
may include advice concerning the value of securities; the advisability of
investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such
broker-dealers may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers,
industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy,
and performance of accounts; effect securities transactions, and perform
functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). FMR
maintains a listing of broker-dealers who provide such services on a
regular basis. However, as many transactions on behalf of the funds are
placed with broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list) without
regard to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to estimate
the proportion of such transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely
because such services were provided. The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) based upon the quality of research and execution services
provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the funds or its other clients, and conversely, such research
provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the funds. The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services. In order to cause
each fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith
that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers,
viewed in terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall
responsibilities to the funds and its other clients. In reaching this
determination, FMR will not attempt to place a specific dollar value on the
brokerage and research services provided, or to determine what portion of
the compensation should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the funds or shares of other Fidelity
funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity Brokerage Services (FBS), subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. From September 1992 through December 1994, FBS operated
under the name Fidelity Brokerage Services Limited, Inc. (FBSL). As of
January 1995, FBSL was converted to an unlimited liability company and
assumed the name FBS. Prior to September 4, 1992, FBSL operated under the
name Fidelity Portfolio Services, Ltd. (FPSL) as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Fidelity International Limited (FIL). Edward C. Johnson 3d is Chairman
of FIL. Mr. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the
benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of
the voting common stock of FI L.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the funds and review the commissions paid by each fund over
representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the fund.
For fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, the funds paid no brokerage commissions
During fiscal 1995, the funds paid no fees to brokerage firms that
provided research services.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or
similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no
other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue
to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally
permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business
judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to seek such
recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for each fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is
held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and accounts
are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same
security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or
account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable for each fund. In
some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or
value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions
will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be
said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Fidelity Service Company (FSC) normally determines Money Market
Portfolio's and U.S. Government Portfolio's net asset value per share (NAV)
at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, and Municipal Money Market
Portfolio's NAV at 12:00 noon and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The valuation of
portfolio securities is determined as of these times for the purpos e of
computing each fund's NAV.
Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized
cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost
as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather
than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument
may be higher or lower than the price a fund would receive if it sold the
instrument.
During periods of declining interest rates, a fund's yield based on
amortized cost valuation may be higher than would result if the fund used
market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply during
periods of rising interest rates.
Valuing each fund's investments on the basis of amortized cost and use of
the term "money market fund" are permitted pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
1940 Act. Each fund must adhere to certain conditions under Rule 2a-7, as
summarized in the section entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page ___.
The Board of Trustees oversees FMR's adherence to the provisions of Rule
2a-7 and has established procedures designed to stabilize each fund's NAV
at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees
consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations
would deviate from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees believe that a
deviation from a fund's amortized cost per share may result in material
dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed
to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to
eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or
unfair results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares
in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such
other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. Each fund's yield and total return
fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute a fund's yield for a period, the net
change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share reflects the
value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original
share and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period
return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. A fund also may
calculate an effective yield by compounding the base period return over a
one-year period. In addition to the current yield, the funds may quote
yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for
the funds are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by applicable regulations.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a fund's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, each fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment
alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the
portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to
consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates a
fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be
invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the
fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
Municipal Money Market Portfolio's tax-equivalent yield is the rate an
investor would have to earn from a fully taxable investment before taxes to
equal the fund's tax-free yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by
dividing the fund's yield by the result of one minus a stated federal or
combined federal and state tax rate. If only a portion of the fund's yield
is tax-exempt, only that portion is adjusted in the calculation.
The following table shows the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal income tax laws for 199_. It shows the
approximate yield a taxable security must provide at various income
brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of hypothetical
tax-exempt obligations yielding from _% to _%. Of course, no assurance can
be given that the fund will achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While
the fund invests principally in obligations whose int erest is exempt
from federal income tax, other income received by the fund may be taxable.

on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and adjustments
which may increase a taxpayer's marginal tax rate. An increase in a
shareholder's marginal tax rate would increase that shareholder's
tax-equivalent yield.
Municipal Money Market Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in
obligations that are subject to federal income tax. When the fund invests
in these obligations, its tax-equivalent yields will be lower. In the table
above, tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments are 100%
federally tax-free.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV over a
stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated by determining
the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in a
fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded
percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of
growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example,
a cumulative total return of 100% over ten years would produce an average
annual total return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return
that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years While
average annual total returns are a convenient means of comparing investment
alternatives, investors should realize that a fund's performance is not
constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of
redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes
in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these factors
and their contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows each fund's 7-day
yields, tax-equivalent yields, and total returns for the period ended July
31, 1995.
The tax-equivalent yield is based on a __% federal income tax rate. Note
that Municipal Money Market Portfolio may invest in securities whose income
is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

respectively, and total returns would have been lower.
The following tables show the income and capital elements of each fund's
cumulative total return. The table compares each fund's return to the
record of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500),
the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living (measured
by the Consumer Price Index, or CPI) over the same period. The CPI
information is as of the month end closest to the initial investment date
for each fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how
each fund's total return compared to the record of a broad average of
common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies,
respectively, over the same period. Of course, since each fund invests in
short-term fixed-income securities, common stocks represent a different
type of investment from the fund. Common stocks generally offer greater
growth potential than the funds, but generally experience greater price
volatility, which means greater potential for loss. In addition, common
stocks generally provide lower income than a fixed-income investment such
as the funds. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA are based on the prices of
unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the funds' returns, do not include
the effect of paying brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as
mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper),
an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of
total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank funds based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be
compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indices
prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indices, it
is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type
of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of
principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals.
For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising
materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that
compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate
categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or
other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual
funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, a fund
may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, a fund
does not guarantee your principal or your return, and fund shares are not
FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand
their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such
information may include information about current economic, market, and
political conditions; materials that describe general principles of
investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and
goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial
profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of
inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering
investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of
Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical
returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common
stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury
bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI, and combinations of
various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based
on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to
demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
A fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/ All
Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(registered trademark),
covers over ___ taxable money market funds and the IBC/Donoghue's MONEY
FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/ All Tax-Free, which is reported in the MONEY FUND
REPORT(registered trademark), covers over ___ tax-free money market funds
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing;
brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving
for college or other goals; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit
card. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business
publications and periodicals as they relate to current economic and
political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment
philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular
mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint,
and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus,
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
A fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of ____ __, 199_, FMR advised over $__ billion in tax-free fund assets,
$__ billion in money market fund assets, $___ billion in equity fund
assets, $__ billion in international fund assets, and $___ billion in
Spartan fund assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of
money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in
the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain
a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of
researching and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing a fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities or other
property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes, and
will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, each fund is required to give
shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or modifying its
exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day notification requirement may
be waived if (i) the only effect of a modification would be to reduce or
eliminate an administrative fee, redemption fee, or deferred sales charge
ordinarily payable at the time of an exchange, or (ii) a fund suspends the
redemption of shares to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the
rules and regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it reserves
the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases
by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. Because each fund's income is primarily derived from
interest, dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Short-term capital gains are distributed as dividend income, but do not
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. A portion of each fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation.
To the extent that Municipal Money Market Portfolio's income is designated
as federally tax-exempt interest, the daily dividends declared by the fund
are also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are distributed as
dividend income, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.
These gains will be taxed as ordinary income.
Each fund will send each shareholder a notice in January describing the tax
status of dividend and capital gain distributions (if any) for the prior
year.
Shareholders are required to report tax-exempt income on their federal tax
returns. Shareholders who earn other income, such as Social Security
benefits, may be subject to federal income tax on up to 85% of such
benefits to the extent that their income, including tax-exempt income,
exceeds certain base amounts.
Municipal Money Market Portfolio purchases securities that are free of
federal income tax based on opinions of counsel regarding the tax status of
the obligations. These opinions will generally be based on covenants by the
issuers or other parties regarding continuing compliance with federal tax
requirements. If at any time the covenants are not complied with,
distribution to shareholders of interest on a security could become
federally taxable retroactive to the date the security was issued. For
certain types of structured securities, opinions of counsel may also be
based on the effect of the structure on the federal tax treatment of the
income.
As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest on certain "private
activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
(AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income
for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities will be
considered tax-exempt for purposes of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's
policy on investing so that at least 80% of its income is free from federal
income tax. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference
item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the
AMT and the the amount of AMT to be paid, if any. Private activity
securities issued after August 7, 1986 to benefit a private or industrial
user or to finance a private facility are affected by this rule.
A portion of the gain on bonds purchased with market discount after April
30, 1993 and short-term capital gains distributed by the fund are taxable
to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains. Dividend distributions
resulting from a recharacterization of gain from the sale of bonds
purchased with market discount after April 30, 1993 are not considered
income for the purposes of Municipal Money Market Portfolio's policy of
investing so that at least 80% of its income is free from federal income
tax. Municipal Money Market Portfolio may distribute any net realized
short-term capital gains and taxable market discounts once a year or more
often, as necessary, to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share.
Corporate investors should note that a tax preference item for the
purposes of the corporate AMT is 75% of the amount by which adjusted
current earnings (which includes tax-exempt interest) exceeds the
alternative minimum taxable income of the corporation. If a shareholder
receives an exempt-interest dividend and sells shares at a loss after
holding them for a period of six months or less, the loss will be
disallowed to the extent of the amount of the exempt-interest dividend.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund may distribute any net realized
short-term capital gains once a year or more often as necessary, to
maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share. The funds do not
anticipate earning long-term capital gains on securities held by the funds.
As of the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, Money Market Portfolio had a
capital loss carryforward aggegating approximately $________. This loss
carryforward, of which $______, $______, and $_____ will expire on July 31,
199_, ____, and ____, respectively, is available to offset future capital
gains,
As of the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, U.S. Government had a capital
loss carryforward aggegating approximately $________. This loss
carryforward, of which $______, $______, and $_____ will expire on July 31,
199_, ____, and ____, respectively, is available to offset future capital
gains,
STATE AND LOCAL TAX ISSUES. For mutual funds organized as business trusts,
state law provides for a pass-through of the state and local income tax
exemption afforded to direct owners of U.S. Government securities. Some
states limit this to mutual funds that invest a certain amount in U.S.
Government securities, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency backed securities, may not qualify for this
benefit. The tax treatment of your dividend distributions from a fund will
be the same as if you directly owned your proportionate share of the U.S.
Government securities in the fund's portfolio. Because the income earned on
most U.S. Government securities in which a fund invests is exempt from
state and local income taxes, the portion of your dividends from the fund
attributable to these securities will also be free from income taxes. The
exemption from state and local income taxation does not preclude states
from assessing other taxes on the ownership of U.S. Government securities.
In a number of states, corporate franchise (income) tax laws do not exempt
interest earned on U.S. Government securities whether such securities are
held directly or through a fund.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may
also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign
securities. If, at the close of its fiscal year, more than 50% of Money
Market Portfolio's total assets are invested in securities of foreign
issuers, the fund may elect to pass through foreign taxes paid and thereby
allow shareholders to take a credit or deduction on their individual tax
returns.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and
avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level,
each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as
on a fiscal year basis.
Each fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of Daily
Money Fund for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its shareholders,
and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. In
addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and
local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and
local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers
to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes.
Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family
and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting
common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member
employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the
vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which
all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of
Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where
one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common
stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of
the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling
group with resp ect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
FIIOC, which performs shareholder servicing functions for institutional
customers and funds sold through intermediaries; and Fidelity Investments
Retail Marketing Company, which provides marketing services to various
companies within the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For example, all
personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance, and participation
in initial public offerings is prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the
timing of personal investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on
short-term trading have been adopt ed.

** Intereste d trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988, the non-interested
Trustees, upon reaching age 72, become eligible to participate in a
retirement program under which they receive payments during their lifetime
from a fund based on their basic trustee fees and length of service. The
obligation of a fund to make such payments is not secured or funded.
Trustees become eligible if, at the time of retirement, they have served on
the Board for at least five years. Currently, Messrs. Ralph S. Saul,
William R. Spaulding, Bertram H. Witham, and David L. Yunich, all former
non-interested Trustees, receive retirement benefits under the program.
On July 31, 1995, the Trustees and officers of each fund owned, in the
aggregate, less than __% of each fund's total outstanding shares.
As of ____ __, 1995, the following owned of record or beneficially 5% or
more of oustanding shares of the funds:
A shareholder owning of record or beneficially more than 25% of a fund's
outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That
shareholder's vote could have a more significant effect on matters
presented at a shareholders' meeting than votes of other sharehold ers.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment
adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs
the investments of each fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are an
"interested persons" of each fund or of FMR, and all personnel of each fund
or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include providing
facilities for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations
with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters,
and other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each
fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal and
state laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund;
and furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects
to the Trustees.
In addition to the management fees payable to FMR and the fees payable to
UMB, FIIOC, and FSC, each fund pays all of its expenses, without
limitation, that are not assumed by those parties. Each fund pays for the
typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders,
legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested
Trustees. Although each fund's current management contract provides that
each fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses,
statements of additional information, notices and reports to shareholders,
the trust, on behalf of each fund has entered into a revised transfer agent
agreement with UMB or FIIOC, as applicable, pursuant to which UMB or FIIOC
bears the costs of providing these services to existing shareholders. Other
expenses paid by each fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
each fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment
Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under
federal and state securities laws. Each fund is also liable for such
nonrecurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to
which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify
its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is each fund's manager pursuant to management contracts dated
September 30, 1993, which were approved by shareholders on March 24, 1993.
For the services of FMR under each contract, each fund pays FMR a
monthly management fee at the annual rate of .50% of average net assets
throughout the month. Fees received by FMR for the last three fiscal years
are shown in the table below.
Fund Fiscal Year Ended Management Fees Paid to FMR
Money Market Portfolio 1995 $
1994 $3,322,784

Municipal Money Market Portfolio 1995 $

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
each fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, extraordinary expenses and 12b-1 fees). FMR retains the
ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that
expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Expense
reimbursements by FMR will increase each fund's total returns and yield
and repayment of the reimbursement by each fund will lower its total
returns and yield.
During the fiscal periods reported, FMR voluntarily agreed, subject to
revision or termination, to reimburse the funds to the extent that the
fund's aggregate operating expenses were in excess of an annual rate of its
average net assets. The table below identifies the funds in reimbursement;
the level at which reimbursement began; and the dollar amount reimbursed
for each period.

To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse each
fund if and to the extent that each fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net assets. The
applicable percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next
$70 million, and 1 1/2% of average net assets in excess of $100 million.
When calculating each fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, each
fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan expenses and
custodian fees attributable to investment in foreign securities.
SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMR Texas
pursuant to which FMR Texas has primary responsibility for providing
portfolio investment management services to each fund.
Under each sub-advisory agreement, dated September 30, 1993, which was
approved by shareholders on March 24, 1993, FMR pays FMR Texas fees equal
to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract
with each fund, after payments by FMR pursuant to each fund's 12b-1 plan,
if any. The fees paid to FMR Texas are not reduced by any voluntary or
mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.
The following table shows fees FMR paid to FMR Texas on behalf of each
fund.

CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES

For accounts that FIIOC maintains on behalf of UMB, FIIOC receives all
such fees.

prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports,
notices, and statements to shareholders, with the exception of proxy

transfer agent services.
FSC calculates NAV and dividends for Money Market Portfolio and U.S.
Government Portfolio, maintain the accounting records, and administers the
securities lending program. UMB has sub-arrangements with FSC pursuant to
which FSC performs the calculations necessary to determine NAV and
dividends for Municipal Money Market Portfolio, and maintains Municipal
Money Market Portfolio's accounting records. The annual fee rates for
these pricing and bookkeeping services are based on each fund's average net
assets, specifically .0175% for the first $500 million of average net
assets and .0075% for average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee
is limited to a minimum of $20,000 and a maximum of $750,000 per year.
Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including related out-of-pocket expenses,
paid to FSC for fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993 are shown in the table below.

Portfolio, and pricing and bookkeeping fees described for Municipal Money
Market Portfolio are paid to FIIOC and FSC, respectively, by UMB, which is
entitled to reimbursement from Municipal Money Market Portfolio for these
expenses.
Each fund has a distribution agreement with NFSC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on June 3, 1981. NFSC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls
for NFSC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business,
to secure purchasers for shares of each fund, which are continuously
offered at net asset value. Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by NFSC.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of
the funds (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule).
The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly
or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to
result in the sale of shares of a fund except pursuant to a plan approved
on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the
Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be
considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by the funds of
distribution expenses.
Pursuant to the Plan, NFSC is paid a distribution fee at an annual rate
of up to 0.40% of each fund's average net assets determined as of the close
of business on each day throughout the month. Currently, the Trustees have
approved a distribution fee for each fund at an annual rate of 0.35% of its
average net assets. This fee may be increased only when, in the opinion of
the Trustees, it is in the best interest of the shareholders of the fund to
do so.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, Money Market
Portfolio paid distribution fees of $___, $ ___, and $___, respectively, of
which $____, $____, and $_____ was retained by NFSC.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, U.S. Government
Portfolio paid distribution fees of $___, $___, and $___, respectively, of
which $____, $____, and $____ was retained by NFSC.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, Municipal Money
Market Portfolio paid distribution fees of $___, $___, and $___,
respectively, of which $____, $____, and $____ was retained by NFSC.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the funds to FMR is
deemed to be indirect financing by the funds of the distribution of their
shares, such payment is authorized by the Plans. Each Plan specifically
recognizes that FMR, either directly or through NFSC , may use its
management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources, without
limitations, to pay promotional and administrative expenses in connection
with the offer and sale of shares of each fund. In addition, the Plan
provides that FMR may use its resources, including its management fee
revenues, to reimburse NFSC for payments made to third parties that assist
in selling shares of each fund, or to third parties, including banks, that
render shareholder support services.
Under the Plan, payments made by FMR on behalf of Money Market Portfolio
to NFSC during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 amounted
to $____, $___, and $___, respectively.
Under the Plan, payments made by FMR on behalf of U.S. Government
Portfolio to NFSC during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and
1993 amounted to $____, $___, and $___, respectively.
Under the Plan, payments made by FMR on behalf of Municipal Money Market
Portfolio to NFSC during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, 1994, and
1993 amounted to $____, $___, and $____, respectively.
Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of each Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
the fund and its shareholders. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and
NFSC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of
each fund, additional sales of fund shares may result. Furthermore, certain
shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the
Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.
The Plan does not provide for specific payments by the funds of any
expenses of NFSC, or obligates NFSC or FMR to perform any specific type or
level of distribution activities or incur any specific level of expense in
connection with distribution activities. After payments by NFSC for
advertising, marketing and distribution, and payments to third parties, the
amounts remaining, if any, may be used as NFSC may elect.
The Plan was approved by each fund's shareholders, in connection with a
reorganization transaction on September 29, 1993, pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Conversion.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered
or supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling
or distributing securities. Although the scope of this prohibition under
the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly defined by the courts or
appropriate regulatory agencies, NFSC believes that the Glass-Steagall Act
should not prohibit a bank from performing shareholder support services, or
servicing and recordkeeping functions. NFSC intends to engage banks only to
perform such functions. However, changes in federal or state statutes and
regulation pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their
affiliates or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions, if
any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and effective
shareholder services. In such event, changes in the operation of the funds
might occur, including possible termination of any automatic investment or
redemption or other services then provided by the bank. It is not expected
that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on
this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed
herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities
issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plan. No
preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be
shown in the selection of investments.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Capital Reserves: Money Market Portfolio, Capital
Reserves: U.S. Government Portfolio, and Capital Reserves: Municipal
Money Market Portfolio are funds of Daily Money Fund, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on
September 29, 1993. The funds acquired all of the assets of Money Market
Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio, and Municipal Money Market Portfolio,
respectively, of Daily Money Fund on September 29, 1993.Currently, there
are six funds of Daily Money Fund: Capital Reserves: Money Market
Portfolio, Capital Reserves: U.S. Government Portfolio, Capital Reserves:
Municipal Money Market Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Treasury
Portfolio, and Treasury Only. The Trust Instrument permits the Trustees to
create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the fund, the
right of the trust or fund to use the identifying names "Fidelity" may be
withdrawn. There is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable
for any misstatement in its prospectus or statement of additional
information about another fund.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the trust. Expenses with respect to the trust are to be
allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective funds, except
where allocations of direct expense can otherwise be fairly made. The
officers of the trust, subject to the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is a business trust organized
under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders shall be
entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. The courts of some states,
however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust
Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the
debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust and requires
that a disclaimer be given in each contract entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees. The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification
out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Trust Instrument
also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund
and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no contractual
limitation of liability was in effect, and the fund is unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is extremely remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, shall not be personally liable to any person
other than the trust or its shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not
be liable for any conduct whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not
protected against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; the voting
and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange
are described in the Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable,
except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability"
above. Shareholders representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as
set forth in the Trust Instrument, call meetings of the trust or fund for
any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be, including, in
the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose of voting on removal
of one or more Trustees.
The trust or any fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or
merger with, another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such
terminations must be approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the trust or the fund; however, the Trustees may,
without prior shareholder approval, change the form of organization of the
trust by merger, consolidation, or incorporation. If not so terminated or
reorganized, the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause the trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, or cause the trust to be incorporated under
Delaware law, so long as the surviving entity is an open-end management
investment company that will succeed to or assume the trust registration
statement. Each fund may invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
CUSTODIAN. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, 60 Wall Street, New
York, New York 10260, is custodian of the assets of Money Market Portfolio
and U.S. Government Portfolio. UMB, 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City,
Missouri 64106 is custodian of the assets of Municipal Money Market
Portfolio. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's
assets and the appointment of the subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.
The custodian takes no part in determining the investment policies of a
fund or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund.
However, a fund may invest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase
securities from or sell securities to the custodian. The Bank of New York
and Chemical Bank, each headquartered in New York, also may serve as a
special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with pooled
repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the Board of
Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR.
Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and
general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions
of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential
custodial or other fund relationships.
AUDITOR. _____ serves as the funds' independent accountant. The auditor
examines financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax,
and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1995 are included in the funds' Annual Report, which is
a separate report supplied with this SAI. Each fund's financial statements
and financial highlights are incorporated herein by reference.
APPENDIX
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the
funds. A fund may, however, consider the ratings for other types of
investments and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations when
determining the eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following
characteristics:
Leading market positions in well established industries.
High rates of return on funds employed.
Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and
ample asset protection.
Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and with high
internal cash generation.
Well established access to a range of financial markets and assured
sources of alternate liquidity.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a
lesser degree. Earning trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be
more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still
appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate
liquidity is maintained.
Issuers rated PRIME-3 (or related supporting institutions) have an
acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
The effect of industry characteristics and market composition may be more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in
changes in the level of debt protection measurements and the requirement
for relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
A - Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the greatest
capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are delineated with
the numbers 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the relative degree of safety.
A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be denoted with a plus (+)
sign designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.
A-3 - This designation indicates that the capacity for timely payment is
satisfactory. These issues are, however, somewhat more vulnerable to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the
higher designations.

funds advised by FMR, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research
Company as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of these funds
are substantially identical. Nonetheless, Registrant takes the position
that it is not under common control with these other funds since the power
residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an
official position with the respective funds.

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