The following information replaces the second paragraph found under
the heading "Finder's Fee" in the "Transaction Details" section on

Except as provided below, any assets on which a finder's fee has been
paid will bear a CDSC (Class A or Class T CDSC) if they do not remain
in Class A or Class T shares of the Fidelity Advisor funds, or Daily
Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund,

of the Class A or Class T shares, as applicable, at redemption, not
including any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Class A and Class
T shares acquired through distributions (dividends or capital gains)
will not be subject to a Class A or Class T CDSC. In determining the
applicability and rate of any Class A or Class T CDSC at redemption,
Class A or Class T shares representing reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, will be redeemed first, followed by those Class
A or Class T CDSC shares that have been held for the longest period of
time.
The following information replaces the fourth paragraph found under

FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500 (including any
amount paid as a sales charge), subject to an annual maximum charge of
$60.00 per shareholder. Accounts opened after September 30 will not be
subject to the fee for that year. The fee, which is payable to the
transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher
costs of servicing smaller accounts. The fee will not be deducted from
retirement accounts (except non-prototype retirement accounts),
accounts using a systematic investment program, certain (Network Level
I and III) accounts which are maintained through National Securities
Clearing Corporation (NSCC), or if total assets in Fidelity mutual
funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the $50,000 waiver is determined
by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund accounts (excluding contractual
plans) maintained (i) by FIIOC and (ii) through NSCC; provided those
accounts are registered under the same primary social security number.

If you are investing through an insurance company separate account, if
you are investing through a trust department, if you are investing
through an account managed by a broker-dealer, or if you have
authorized an investment adviser to make investment decisions for you,
you may qualify to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge (as
described in (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) on the previous page and
above), Class T shares without a sales charge (as described in (1),
(2), (3) and (4) at left), or Institutional Class shares. Because
Institutional Class shares have no sales charge, and do not pay a
12b-1 fee, Institutional Class shares are expected to have a higher
total return than Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares.
Contact your investment professional to discuss if you qualify.

1. In cases of disability or death, provided that the shares are
redeemed within one year following the death or the initial

A portion of the brokerage commissions that a fund pays is used to
reduce that fund's expenses. In addition, each fund has entered into
arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the
total Institutional Class operating expenses presented in the
preceding table would have been:
Institutional Class
Consumer Industries 1.23%
Cyclical Industries n/a
Financial Services 1.13%
Health Care 1.04%
Natural Resources 0.91%
Technology 1.07%
Utilities Growth 1.22%

FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $60.00 per shareholder. Accounts opened after
September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part
the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. The fee
will not be deducted from retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using a systematic investment program,
certain (Network Level I and III) accounts which are maintained
through National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), or if total
assets in Fidelity mutual funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the
$50,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund
accounts (excluding contractual plans) maintained (i) by FIIOC and
(ii) through NSCC; provided those accounts are registered under the
same primary social security number.
