STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

On September 14, 2000, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Capital & Income Fund authorized the reduction of the fund's redemption fee from 1.50% to 1.00% and the reduction of the redemption fee period from 365 days to 270 days. Redemptions after September 27, 2000 of shares held less than 270 days will be subject to a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount redeemed.

The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Historical Funds Results" in the "Performance" section beginning on page 16.

For Capital & Income, returns do not include the effect of the fund's 1.00% trading fee, applicable to shares held less than 270 days.

The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Historical Funds Results" in the "Performance" section beginning on page 16.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Capital & Income on May 1, 1990, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested) amounted to $31,703. If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to $11,749 for dividends and $969 for capital gain distributions. The figures in the table do not include the effect of Capital & Income's 1.00% trading fee applicable to shares held less than 270 days. Prior to December 30, 1990, Capital & Income operated under a different investment objective. Accordingly, the fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies.
