Redemptions after January 31, 2000 of shares held less than 30 days will be subject to a redemption fee of 0.75% of the amount redeemed.

The following information replaces the paragraph under the heading "Average Annual Returns" found in the "Performance" section on page 4.

The following information replaces the first four paragraphs under the heading "Buying Shares" found in the "Buying and Selling Shares" section on page 10.

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

The following information replaces the second paragraph under the heading "Selling Shares" found in the "Buying and Selling Shares"section on page 12.

The fund will deduct a short-term trading fee of 0.75% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days. This fee is paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and is designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

Procedures

  • To set up, call 1-800-544-6666.
  • To make changes, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-6666 at least three business days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal date.

The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Policies" in the "Account Features and Policies" section on page 19.

Fidelity may 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 $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating accounts with Fidelity maintained by Fidelity Service Company, Inc. or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Fund Management" section on page 21.

The following information replaces the "Fund Distribution" section beginning on page 22 in its entirety.

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

<R>The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments. </R>

<R>If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.</R>

<R>To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.</R>

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 statement of additional information (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 FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

OCTOBER 25, 1999

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

O<R>n January 20, 2000 the Board of Trust</R>ees of Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund authorized the elimination of the fund's 3.00% front-end sales charge. Beginning January 31, 2000, purchases of shares of the fund will not be subject to a sales charge.

In addition, on January 20, 2000, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund authorized the reduction of the fund's redemption fee period from 90 days to 30 days. Redemptions after January 31, 2000 of shares held less than 30 days will be subject to a redemption fee of 0.75% of the amount redeemed.

<R>The following replaces similar information in the "Investment Policies and Limitations" section on page 2.</R>

<R>(3) 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 or in connection with investments in </R>other investment companies.

<R>(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) 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.</R>

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Performance" section on page 13.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative 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. 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 return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of the fund's short-term trading fee or the effect of the fund's small account fee. Excluding the fund's short-term trading fee or small account fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

The following information replaces the paragraph above the heading "Historical Fund Results" in the "Performance" section beginning on page 14.

The fund had a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% (eliminated effective January 31, 2000) which is included in the average annual and cumulative returns. Returns do not include the effect of the fund's 0.75% short-term trading fee, applicable to shares held less than 90 days that were redeemed on or before January 31, 2000.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Performance" section on page 14.

During the period from October 4, 1994 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 1999, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Export and Multinational would have grown to $30,581, including the effect of the fund's maximum sales charge (eliminated effective January 31, 2000) and assuming all distributions were reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax consequences of different investments have not been factored into the figures below.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Performance" section on page 14.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund on October 4, 1994, assuming the maximum sales charge had been in effect, the net amount invested in fund shares was $9,700. 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 $17,068. 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 $10 for dividends and $6,072 for capital gain distributions. The figures in the table do not include the effect of the fund's 0.75% short-term trading fee applicable to shares held less than 90 days that were redeemed on or before January 31, 2000.

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing the fund's NAV, if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Shareholders that receive 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.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Distribution Services" section beginning on page 23.

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 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 the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

<R>The following information supplements the information found in the "Distribution Services" section on page 23.</R>

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, FDC collected sales charge revenue of $100,692, $256,930, and $879,002, respectively, on purchases of fund shares and, of these amounts, retained $100,089, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999, and $256,930, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998.

<R>The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the fund (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 the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of distribution expenses.</R>

<R>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 may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund shares.</R>

<R>Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.</R>

<R>The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or supervised banks from directly engaging in the business of underwriting, selling or distributing securities. 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, 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 fund 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.</R>

<R>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.</R>

<R>FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.</R>

Supplement to the Spartan® Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
October 25, 1999 Prospectus

On September 13, 2000, shareholders of Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund approved a proposal to change the fund's current all-inclusive management fee structure to a group fee structure that is standard for other comparable Fidelity municipal bond funds effective October 1, 2000.

The following information replaces the second bullet found under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Fund Summary" section on page 3.

The following information replaces the fourth bullet under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Investment Summary" section on page 3.

A Effective October 1, 2000, FMR has agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.53%. This arrangement will remain in effect through December 31, 2001.

The following information replaces the second paragraph under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Investment Details" section on page 6.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax. Although FMR does not currently intend to invest the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, FMR may invest all of the fund's assets in municipal securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The following information replaces the fourth paragraph under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Investment Details" section on page 6.

FMR uses the Lehman Brothers 1-6 Year Municipal Bond Index as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. In addition, the fund normally maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity between two and five years. As of October 31, 1999, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund and the index was approximately 2.9 and 3.3 years, respectively.

The following information replaces the second paragraph under the heading "Fundamental Investment Policies" on page 8.

Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund seeks as high a level of current income, exempt from federal income tax, as is consistent with preservation of capital.

The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Fund Management" in the "Fund Services" section on page 21.

Christine Thompson is vice president and manager of Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, which she has managed since July 2000. She also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1985, Ms. Thompson has worked as a senior research analyst and manager.

The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Fund Management" in the "Fund Services" section on page 21.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For August 2000, the group fee rate would have been <R>0.1250</R>%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000, the fund paid FMR a management fee of 0.55% of the fund's average net assets and FMR paid all other expenses of the fund with limited exceptions.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.

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.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $884 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for August 2000 - was 0.1250%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $884 billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for August 2000, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

Prior to October 1, 2000, the fund paid FMR a monthly management fee at an annual rate of 0.55% of the fund's average net assets throughout the month. FMR paid all of the other expenses of the fund with limited exceptions. The management fee paid to FMR for periods prior to October 1, 2000 was reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested Trustees.
