SUPPLEMENT TO THE

DECEMBER 24, 1998
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
"INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 2.

For purposes of normally investing at least 65% of the fund's total
assets in common stocks, FMR interprets "total assets" to exclude
collateral received for securities lending transactions.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
"INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 2.

(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (3)).

(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
"EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS" DISCLOSURE ON PAGE 4.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcustodian. For example, many
countries are less prepared than the United States to properly process
and calculate information related to dates from and after January 1,
2000. As a result, some foreign markets, brokers, banks or securities
depositories could experience at least temporary disruptions, which
could result in difficulty buying and selling securities in certain
foreign markets and pricing foreign investments, and foreign issuers
could fail to pay timely dividends, interest or principal. In
addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including
withholding taxes, brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are
generally higher than with U.S. investments.
